I loved these boots and should have listened more to the reviews. I wear a size 9 and the size 9 were snug on the heel and made them uncomfortable. I will admit that this are absolutely sexy boots. I workout and unfortunately my calves were snug on them as well and could not wear them with pants tucked in them so I sent them back. I will say my husband was completely disappointed that I had to because he thought they were sexy and I should have kept them to wear just for him. But if you are looking for a nice boot, these are definitely awesome. I would have given them five stars if they had fit true to size. I recommend buying half size bigger then you normally wear and they do go to right beneath the knee.
