text: I bought these boots in the whale print and though they're adorable they don't fit properly - there is way too much material around the ankle and lower calf and then they taper off at the top pinching the widest part of my calf.  There is a strap and some extra material that would seemingly allow for adjustment but adjusting the strap doesn't make a difference. They also split, both boots in the same spot along the inner edge of the foot within a month. I would have returned them but they ship from England and it's not worth the hassle.  I will use a patch kit to repair them but for the price I paid, they should have lasted a heck of a lot longer. The design and durability of these boots earns them negative stars but I had to give one. The pattern earned them the second.
