I have to try on all boots due to my calf challenges that I have. Even though these stated the leg circumference was 13 1/2 to 16 inches I was a little wary. I saw these in both Nordstrom’s and Neiman’s so the last time I was at the mall I tried them on. 

I tried on a size 7 in the Charcoal/Almond and the fit through the foot-bed was great so these are TTS. Sadly, I could not zip them all the way up, with the zipper stopping right at the thickest part of my calf. No amount of strength used to tug and pull at the zipper would make it budge. I was so very disappointed. Now that I have these in my head, I want them. Sizing up only made the boot loose in the foot-bed so that is not an option, even with a thick sock. It just feels like I’m clomping around in shoes that don’t fit.

One possible option I found was the Cole Haan Air Kennedy Buckle Boot. This has a pretty significant heel with a slight platform. It comes in this Dark Chocolate/Gray Flannel, Black/Black Suede, Chestnut/Tweed and a neutral Greige/Greige Suede. I really would like a flat boot as I will wear that more often than a heeled boot. But I do not have any heeled boots since I grew out of them all.

So, I will have to live vicariously through one of you readers who might get this boot. Unless, I can figure out how to lose some weight in the calf area, or find a SPANX knee-high sock that will actually slim my calf.
