I loved these boots the moment I saw them. Boot shaft is a bit tight so for anyone who doesn't have skinny stick legs you may have the same heart sinking problem that I did when I first tried them on. I don't have unusually large calves, but they are muscular. I looked online for tips on how to safely aid in improving the fit/stretching cowboy boots. One tip that I used was to wear the boots around the house to wear in, warm the leather to stretch and mold to the shape of your leg. This seems to have helped. If there is still a slight issue then I will take them to a professional cobbler. There are odd tips such as using vinegar, warm water, etc to stretch the leather, but I'd rather have a professional with the skills and tools to do the job right.m

Needless to say, these boots are even more beautiful in person. The quality in the stitching, the leather, heel, etc are exceptionally good. The price is definitely worth the investment. I was scared, because these are my first real cowboy boots! Definitely happy with my choice, and happy with how quickly I received my order. I wrote them with a question regarding my boots/ fit, and they wrote back by the next day.

These boots put a much needed smile on my face post Hurricane Sandy.
