Under normal circumstances, I could never afford these boots.  They were going to be my reward for myself after I passed a really difficult professional exam.  Even then I only bought them because I got 25% off for Black Friday and another $50 off for applying for an Amazon card.  They came fast and were just as beautiful as in the picture, but unfortunately my main concern came to pass--they are just a little bit too small in the calf.

My calves aren't really fat, but they are not stick straight.  I was able to zip the boots fine and they even looked okay, but there was zero wiggle room which means I couldn't wear these with jeans.  This style of boot I think would look best with jeans, so for the money I spent I couldn't justify keeping them if I could only wear them with dresses.

I will continue to admire them from afar and I still recommend them if your calves are small enough to fit jeans in there (and if you can spare the money).  With Amazon's excellent return process, it's no problem to buy them even if you're unsure they will fit!  I took the package with a pre-paid shipping slip from Amazon to a UPS store on a Saturday, and had my refund by Tuesday--way sooner than I expected!

I'm bummed these beautiful boots didn't work out for me but I appreciate Amazon making it so easy for me to try them.
