Strong chemical smell on opening the box and still present on the boots 2 days later, from 4 feet away!
Boots appears to be well made with somewhat quality but thin material. The inside is lined with some kind of felt, so the boot is hot.
I don't have that wide of a calf, but I had to loosen the two uppermost buckles and leave the last lacing hole opened to fit them, and have enough lacing to make a knot and a loop.
The boot leg is high, reaching just at the fold of my knee, and I'm 5'-11"!
True to size or a wee bit larger. Put socks or an insole and it's good enough for me.
They feel sturdy and the sole is rigid, not wobbly.
They are vinyl and looks and feel vinyl. I got boots from another site, better quality, for a lot less, where you can hardly figure out that it's vinyl (vegan leather).
I feel they're a little expensive, even at the 55% sales price I got them (so the regular price is a joke). That's the reason for 4 stars. The ratio quality/price isn't there.
I was planning to get another pair after receiving those (to see the quality), but by the time I got them, their sales has ended and the ones I was aiming for got too expensive for what I feel they're worth. Might wait for another sale.
I am a male, high heel shoe fetishist with over 30 pairs of high heels shoes and boots. I wear them everyday, for many hours a day.
