I loved the look and feel of these boots but they were too tight in the calves and the material would not stretch enough to zip up. It killed me but I had to return the boots. I would have loved to have kept them. Maybe Solomon could keep that in mind next year if they remake these boots. Some of us tall boot wearers have muscular calves. Maybe they could add a little more stretchy material in the calve area. Would have loved to have kept them.
