All reviews say" too tight around calves.some said ankles , I thought yes! Finally something fitted instead of falling down my weirdly skinny calves and ankles ! But... They weren't fitted at all fitted... They'd stayed up but weren't tight at all. Love them though , great price , and fashionable. Small heel and the criss cross in back is cute! The black dye on shoes rubs off on couches and other fabric... Don't know what to do about that!
