I have no bad notes. My foot is size 9, slightly wide around the toe box. My weight has fluctuated throughout the years and I wanted something that could wear with me in all phases of life. I put these on and they were instantly comfortable!
A note about the wide calf, and this is only specific to me so take it with a grain of salt. According to BMI, when I was obese I could not have worn these shoes. However, in the upper level category of overweight, they fit with enough room to put a boot sock in. I dont have a naturally thick calf though. I think the upper leather would stretch over time if need be, but consider the zipper placement and how that will help take on/off. Overall this boot is so worth it and gorgeous.
