Timberland Women's Lexiss Street Boot -- 'These boots were made for walkin'
Based on other's reviews of this boot I was leery of buying without being able to try them on. What may help others interested in this boot is the following: I am 5'10" and am very athletic (full contact sparring in Tae Kwon Do; other sports). I have 17" calves wide feet high instep and a flexible/flat arch. I have had foot surgery (bunionectomy) so I am very careful about the types of shoes I wear.
I have never ever been able to find a boot that fit my claves. This boot FITS!! The top of the shaft falls about 1.5" below my knee. I wear tights with them and had to work at getting the right boot zipped up the first few wears but they are fabulous leather and have relaxed a bit (I can even wear sock liners with my tights for extra warmth).
Because I am curvy and athletic I don't know that I'll ever be able to tuck my jeans into the boots but I really don't care. They are comfortable warm have survived a pretty rugged midwest winter with lots of snow/ice/arctic cold blasts. I wear them with skirts (short or long) dress pants & jeans fall/winter capri-type pants. If I could sleep in them I would. If I had a million dollars I'd buy a pair in every available color. I've searched for a boot like this for at least 3 decades -- These babies totally ROCK! They may not be the classic shiny leather rider's boot but I certainly feel a little Nancy Sinatra coming on :)More detail ...
