I have wide calves and am always frustrated about the look and quality of boots that are made for wide calves.  I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box.  These boots look very classy.  The buckle is nice, but not too showy.  The color is very rich, looks great with light and dark colored jeans/leggings.  I wish there was slightly better tread on the bottom, but that is typical for nine west.  Usually when I find a great pair of boots like this, I order one in each color and an extra pair for when the original needs to be retired.  I plan to order these in black as well.
