Everything about this shoe was perfect except for the opening. Most of my jeans are straight leg or skinny jeans that aren't skin tight around the lower half of my calf and down to the ankle. So wearing these boots with them just didn't look right. The opening of the boot is too wide to put the bottom of my jeans over them, but it also looked weird if I tucked my jeans into them because my jeans were too loose in that area. These boots only look good with tights, which I rarely wear. I really wanted to like these boots because everything else about them was perfect - the shape, the length of the shaft, the heel height, and the comfort of the soles (which is usually what sets Cole Haan shoes from the others in my opinion).
