I love the look of these boots. I've been searching for months for the perfect boot and these are just right. I'm 5'3" and the boots hit just above the widest part of my calf (about 2-3 inches below the knee) and the calf width is just right (I have athletic calves). The heel height is just what I wanted and would be comfortable for all day wear, but still enough to give me a lift and look feminine. I'm normally a 7.5 to 8 and the 8 was definitely too big for me, so I exchanged for the 7.5. If you aren't sure of your size growth the smaller
end. I was only slightly disappointed that there were some marks and inconsistencies in the leather, but I'm sure a good conditioning will take care of that.
