I've been looking for a couple of years for brown boots and ordered these. I've had lots of compliments on them and they are great if your calves are 16" or less. I ordered these and they arrived when I was on trip. I had been ordering different kinds of boots online and eventually returning them. It got to be a joke with my hubby about boots on the porch. Every day a new pair seemed to arrive. But I kept these and found an additional pair of boots that are different when I was in Arizona and love those boots too. So now I'm set.
