I wanted to love these boots and was expecting them to be a bit loose based on other reviewers. I have pretty small calves (most boots are too loose), but I could barely zip these up, and once on, the leather was dimpling. The ankle was huge on me and caused bunching - not the sleek or polished look I was hoping for. Lastly, it looked like this pair had been worn and was probably a previous return- there were some noticeable scuffs on the leather and bottom of the boot. Will be returning.
