VANELi Women's Niron Boot

After buying the wide calf version of this boot and having to return it, I was thrilled to grab the regular calf version in my size after it had been out of stock. I have been wearing these at work all day today and they are very comfy (and I'm on my feet a lot!). I would say that the calf on these is a little wider than most "regular" boots, as they fit me well and I would say I have an "athletic" calf (bigger than average, but not huge!). AKA not for chicken legs. :)

I got these boots in black, size 7W. The sizing was true, though I'm realizing I may need to get double wides, but that is no fault of these shoes. These shoes are very comfortable so far right out of the box; time will tell if they are comfortable for extended periods of time, which is the real test and will earn it that 5-star rating. The heel is very stable and I feel very balanced when walking in them, not like I'm wearing a high heel at all. The shaft is very tall, goes right up to my knees, and is more snug than I expected, but it has elastic goring at the top for a custom fit. They arrived a little dirty with white marks on them, but that came off with a little quick brush. Overall, I'm pretty happy with them, especially since I got them at a very deep discount.

I am disappointed that these were too wide at the top. They fit well around the foot and were attractive but gapped a great deal at the top (and I don't have particularly skinny legs) so I will be returning them.
