finally a boot that fit!  At first it seemed very stiff, and the heel slipped.  Then I read that new boot heels should slip..until they are worn in.  I wore the boot around for the afternoon, and the toe softend a lot!  The boots are beautiful and seem to be well made!  The heel height is perfect...looks like a heel, but low enough you could run around in them!  The calf is good for me....with jeans on I have a finger width of room..but they don't look sloppy like other boots.  I prefer a tighter fit, but this seems to be the best I could get without buying go-go boots.  If these boots go on sale, I will order a different color (I ordered black)
