I have been looking for grey boots for a while and I liked the style of these.  When I received them however, they were too wide for my calves, which are quite skinny actually.  I read the review and measured the width of other boots I have, but I guess I misjudged.  The ankle part was also quite loose.  The zipper up the back is just for show, it doesn't actually work, which surprised me.  The biggest problem for me is that the strap, which is suede like the rest of the boot, actually goes under the sole.  If you step in snow or even a puddle, your boots are ruined. Just not practical for boots in the Midwest.  I did think they had good quality for the price, and if I lived still lived in sunny California I might keep them, but sadly they are going back.
