text: I bought these knowing that they were wide calf.  I had planned on wearing them over jeans or leggings and with socks.  The calf was still way too big and the bottom of the sole was lined with felt which made these really slick.  Not good for what I was going for.  They did look good though.  I found the same boot in a regular calf size without the felt and loved them.  One thing that is nice about Torrid is that I was able to return these at the store.  They were immediately snatched up by another customer.
