These boots fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I'm very picky about the look of tall boots and these meet all my requirements. Heel height is perfect, calf is snug, not loose like a lot of the boots I've seen, and boot shaft height is just right for skinny jeans and skirts/dresses. For an inexpensive boot, the hardware is stylish and not cheap looking. LifeStride has definitely cornered the market on the inexpensive yet quality looking shoes/boots. In years past I never would have dreamed that I would have bought man-made (non-leather) boots but these are as nice as some leather boots that I've paid hundreds of dollars for. Also, this is my second pair of LifeStride  boots. I would highly recommend these.
