I've been looking for tall boots for about 2 months now. I am 5'2" and have a 13" calf circumference. I just want to say that these are not 13" circumference. More like 14". They are a bit snug in the foot area and I hope that they stretch out as I wear them. They are comfortable, stylish, and affordable. All I wanted was a simple, basic tall boot to wear in the rain and cold weather, but it was difficult finding one for a slim and petite girl like me. These aren't perfect, but pretty close to it. Now that I've 'discovered' Ecco, I plan to make many more purchases in the future from this brand. Their boots are truly awesome and don't cost $500.
