Madden Girl Women's Jaylyne Flat Scrunch Boot

I got these boots for my girlfriend for Christmas. I think they're adorable, the ribbon in the back distinguishes these from other boots.

However, I had to return them because her calves were too large for them. I was hoping the ribbon in the back would allow for more adjustment, but it didn't provide near enough. But since that's just the design of the boot, I'm not going to give it a bad rating. Once again, this boot is NOT for wide calves.

The foot part of the boot runs big.

I thought I was saving an extra 10 dollars by buying the Madden girl version of Steve Madden's nice and popular boots. They look nice on the website, and upon their arrival, I was confused. The shoes I had ordered were not suede as the description states. They felt as if they were made out of cardboard. Within the first 2 weeks of wearing these boots (I was not wearing them everyday), The back heel began to rip and peel, despite the fact that the shoes were about 2 sizes bigger than I had ordered. Shoes of this quality should not be almost 70 dollars, and if you are looking for quality these are not a good purchase for you. I'm sure you can find shoes on Amazon of equal quality for a reasonably lower price.

I was so excited when I purchased these boots. They look great, but the sizing is really off. I normally wear size 8.5 and my sister wears size 10. I bought size 8.5 and they are so big that they fit my sister!! I'll just have to wear thick socks with them. Also, they are very slouchy- I have 13.5 inch calves and these boots are really loose on me (with slouchy jeans tucked in), but they still look very nice. Oh yeah, I'm 5'7", and these come up to my knees. I would've given the boots 4 stars if they would've been closer to an actual 8.5 (and not a 10).
