text: First off I believe that Naturalizer makes some of the most beautiful boots and shoes.  Honestly, their styles are very fashion forward.  What isn't forward though, is the actual fit.  Twice now I've been burned by the promise of a wide boot/shoe  (not shaft, but boot) from Naturalizer and this boot was no exception...you'd think I'd learn.  It was not WW as promised, but instead fits like a D.<br /><br />Now to the calf sizing.  I suspect that they are accurate in marking it as a wide calf, but my mistake was in thinking that the elastic insert would add some inches onto their promised width and this was a mistake on my part.  My calves are 18.5 inches wide and these were not even close to being able to zip.  Again, my mistake in thinking that the elastic insert would afford me more room.
