I got these because I have a hard time with boots fitting my calves. These did excellent in that department. The issue I had was with the right shoe: the flimsy backing to the heel (which I'm pretty sure was made out of tagboard) kept folding everytime I went to put my foot in. It was so annoying and uncomfortable.  I tried to contact someone so I could return them, possibly for a half size larger, but it ended up being just too much trouble.

It is my personal opinion that no one should spend the big bucks on flat suede boots in general because the bottoms wear out so fast and they ALL will get your feet wet in the rain. So if the heel backing is folding over, making your life a pain, I'd say these were a good buy.
