I was looking for a boot that would be comfortable to walk in and these are it. I also needed a flat boot that could accommodate a 10 mm lift insert, and these can. I have wider calves than the average girl, so I do fill the boot's calf circumference. But I can wear them without too much effort in getting them on! My first week wearing them, a woman stopped me and said "I LOVE YOUR BOOTS! Where did you get them? What? Amazon?!" Very happy with my beautiful boots.
