I normally wear a 5.5 or a 6. I bought these in a 6 wide calf and they were too small (but wearable) in the foot and too small in the calf. I am not really heavy, but I am only 5' and so my calf is located about 4 inches lower than most people's and so I usually need a wide calf. These fit me like regular calf boots. That is, the calves were way too small. I half expected this because of previous reviews. Thank goodness for free returns.
