I have mixed feelings about this boot. I was really hopeful because overall the reviews were pretty great for the wide calf population (which I am apart of, and did order the wide calf option). The calf was not as wide as I expected on this boot. I can barely (takes some finesse) fit a thin pair of skinny jeans in this boot and zip it up. It can happen, but there is no extra room to speak of. I measure at about 17 1/2 inches.<br /><br />As far as quality goes, it was about what I expected for the price. Faux leather is a little smelly (fine when aired out). There was a missed seam on the interior which was not a big deal because it wasn't structural. Fuzzy interior was nice. I wouldn't call these a warm boot but good for fall. With some waterproofing these will work just fine for a season. The style is great and I really enjoy the back zipper which is completely functional.<br /><br />Overall I would recommend this boot for the price. I saw the same boot listed at kohls for $80!<br /><br />On another note: I do wish this store wasn't using fed ex for shipping. Frankly they are so slow!
