I have been eye'n these boots for awhile, they were 250 0r more at Nordstrom, so i waited and found them at Amazon for almost half. I love the color, and the metal tip toe. The boot circumfrence is 15, i was sad, becuz my calf is a 16.25, so i chanced it. When i tried them on the zipper would NOT go pass my calf. Then i looked for another boot, but then a couple hours later, i tried them on again...and Wha-laa they fit. With a little persistance they came up, so i figure i would wear them to stretch them a little becuz i want to be able to wear them with skinny jeans. i then tried them on with the jeans and they fit, and i like that its a snug fit and they won't slouch down. The elastic separation in the back of the boots helps alo
