The construction and materials of this boot receive 5 stars. They are super well made, gorgeous suede boots. I can't tell you how much I wanted to keep these.  However, the calf circumference is amazing small. I normally take a 14.5 to 15 inch calf circumference, and these were smaller than that probably 13.5 or so on a size 9 shoe.  Unless you have a very skinny calf, these are not wearable. Too bad. Just a slightly larger calf circumference and these would be spectacular boots.
