It came up pass 1/2 of my thigh and they are very comfortable to walk in considering the height. I love how they make the back of the boots, the opening doesn't start until pass the back of your knees so you have more control when you walk and it looks more fit (if you know what I mean). It looks like the boots are part of you instead of you're wearing them... They actually fit me very well but I realize that I don't need boots this tall. The calf part is perfect, I have fairly small figure (5'6, 106lb, pants size XS, 0 or 24/25) and the calf part fits just perfect. I tried to wear skinny jeans underneath and it works as well (a smidge tight but it works without any problem). The boots were folded two times and came in a small shoe box.
