LOVE these boots! Good quality and nice and slim around the calf. I always have trouble finding boots to fit my 33cm calves that don't look like wellies but these fit perfectly. The buckle actually works as oposed to being there just for decoration so you can adjust the fit. Comfy from the first wear. Could have done with some care instructions, I used a leather protection cream and when I went to polish it off the boots became covered in yellow fibres from the duster. I'd advise using normal shoe polish with brushes.
