These boots are absolutely perfect.  I ordered them in the cognac color; they are gorgeous and the rich color will go with everything.  I am petite (5' 1&#34;) and I have very narrow calves so I have always had difficulty finding a &#34;taller&#34; boot that works for me.  Most knee boots look ridiculous because the shaft is always too high and too wide, leaving a huge gap.  I think these boots would be considered a mid-height boot for average or taller women but, on me, they hit about three inches from the bottom of my knee and leave only a very slight gap around my calves wearing skinny jeans. I really wouldn't want them any tighter.  I truly could not be happier with these boots and they are by far my favorite Fryes.<br /><br />IMPORTANT: Frye suggests ordering a full size down from your normal size.  I was a little nervous about it but I followed the suggestion and I am glad I did.  I own three other pairs of Frye boots and sandals, all in size 8.  I ordered these in size 7 and the fit is perfect.  So, definitely order either a half or full size below your normal size.
