These boots are very attractive and I purchased them based on the reviews and the low price.  My calf is fuller and the reviews indicated that this shaft tended to run larger.  However, they are tight on my calves.  I have other Nine West boots and the shaft circumference is fine.  I did go ahead and wear these one day, thinking that because they are suede they will stretch out.  However, the zipper kept coming down and my feet were frozen the whole time.  Will hand these down to my daughter to wear.
