These boots are iffy for me. They're easy to walk in, stable and comfortable except for the shaft part. There is a band or something at right about the calf area that is VERY constricting. If you have bigger calves, don't even waste your time. Now if you want to wear them like a slouchy boot, then you'll be good. But if you plan to wear them as They're pictured, it will not work if you have thicker legs
