First of all, the size 9 has a 15 1/4" circumference. I got excited to find an affordable boot with a slim calf-- I should have known better.
Secondly, the brown is not brown. It's tan. Matches my Frye tan boots almost exactly.
Otherwise, these are fine, just a little sloppy looking if you ask me. The toe is cuter than expected, not too pointy.
So the search continues...
