When I opened the boot box I could smell the wonderful scent of real leather and the boot is gorgeous . However, I could BARLEY zip it up and it was way too tight at the very top of my calf, then bunchy/loose below and it doesn't stretch. Based on the description I ordered a 10, thinking surely it will fit (I wear 9.5 & sometimes 10). The 10 was really too long but because of my calves I ordered up. My calves are 17.5 so if you have 16" calves or smaller, they may fit. Once again boots are too small or too big for me! I really wanted these to work :(
