Unfortunately, I'll be returning boot.  It is just not what I am looking for.  Too many cons...scuffs very easily, dull finish, very stiff ankle area, and I can zip up but dont' think I could wear jeans underneath unless it stretches out quite a bit.  I love Clarks shoes so thought this would work, but doesn't it.  Will note that Clarks website says calf circumference is 14.5 and Amazon has 15.5 or so.  I have 15.5 calves and would be hard to wear jeans underneath.  Sorry I have to return, but very grateful Amazon allows returns at no cost.  Someday I will find the right boot.
