If you want style, comfort, and some height, these boots are the perfect fit. You won't get the aches from the height of the heel and you definitely will get the benefits of the style wearing pants, skirts, or dresses. My issue with tall boots have always been the circumference of the calves which tends to always be too small. These boots fit my calves while also giving my calves a feminine look. There is no struggle in zipping up the boots and what a relief to have a pair that I can do that with! I won't look at boots that have a circumference of 16-1/2" or lower. Any boots that have a lower circumference means I'll have a tug-of-war. I'm not sure if my fingers will fall off first or the zipper will break first. I love these pair of tall boots. I love it so much that I bought a second pair as a backup. Looking for the same boots at a later date is never an easy task because they're never available due to manufacturer style changes. These are classic wedge heels and I doubt they'll go out of style any time soon. I normally don't do this but I may buy a third one for the backup's backup! LOVE these boots!
