The height of the shaft worked well on my 5' figure and zipped somewhat snugly over my calves over pants. I wear a 5.5 or a 6 in this brand, but I ordered a 7, knowing boots usually run small for whatever reason. The foot and width felt fine, but I think the arch support is lacking. My foot kept falling towards the center of the boot. Also, the top of the boot facing away from the center of my body stood a good 2 inches away from my leg, yet the top of the boot sitting against the inner side of my knee dug in. Returned.
