Overall, these are really great boots. I have 16 inch caves and they fit with leggings and knee high socks. I could have used a *little* extra room in the calf, maybe half an inch, but they are not tight, just snug. They go better with thicker socks, so the ankle area is a little more filled in, the rubber tends to crunch in a bit at the ankle but the more I wear them the better it gets, not really a big problem. They look really good on, they are very flattering and very high quality rubber, with wool socks your feet will be warm. I ordered grey and I am very peased with how well it goes with many different outfits. I can tell they will last me many years. I have tried many different rain boots out there, these are the winners for sure.
