I am petite, 5’2” and have a narrow foot (typically 8N in other brands) and small calves, so it is difficult to find boots that work for me. Some reviews said they run a bit narrow so I decided to try them in spite if their standard width. They fit me perfectly in both height and circumference and they do have some hidden stretch panels to accommodate slightly larger calves or jeans tucked in. They are very comfortable and roomy enough in the toe box for me but might not work as well for someone with wider feet. I purchased in black and then immediately ordered a second pair in brown because I think I have found the perfect tall boot for travel days requiring a lot of walking. The leather is gorgeous and soft, no break-in period required. (Also, I am in the USA and paid extra for quick shipping and they arrived from the UK so fast!)
