Love these boots! So comfy! So stylish and cool! Love the "riding boot" look. The only minor drawback is that the lower part is not fully fleece lined, but I ordered a half size larger than my regular shoe size and there is room for medium-thick socks, even with the fleece insoles. Really not sure what folks are talking about on other website with sizing; these actually are at least true to size, if not a little on the big side. And, the calf is a little snug, but not uncomfortable, with jeans. The shafts were snug, but not uncomfortable at first, but have stretched just enough to wear with jeans tucked in. Also, the lacing adjusts slightly to customize the fit a bit. I am not a large person, but have had "athletic" calves my whole life and have struggled with boots. I can actually wear these. These are nice fashionable casual boots for those chilly, but not arctic, days.
