text: Lots of compliments on these.  They are a little tight in the calf (mine are 15.5&#34; or so) so I can wear them with socks or tights, but not skinny jeans. They are also pretty tall, and I'm not. At 5'2&#34;, I generally unzip the top 2&#34;, down to the strap, while driving or prolonged sitting, so I don't crease the leather badly. I'd prefer a more cushioned insole, but they aren't bad, and the toe area is roomier than some.
