I bought these boots to go with a full body suit I would be wearing to a sporting event. I knew that I would be on my feet all day for two days straight so I needed something comfortable that also added a few inches of height (so I could be taller in pictures with my tall friends). The wide, square toe box is what sold me on this style. It may not be the sexiest design since the wide toe gives a slightly clunkier look BUT the shiny red color and "painted on" look the tight calf gives make up for that.

I wore these for two days which included miles of walking, some jumping, stairs and uneven terrain. They kept my feet comfortable and my legs only overheated a little bit while standing in the blazing sun for an extended amount of time.

The biggest downside and the reason I am giving three stars is because of the scuff factor. The black soles of these boots scuff the insides of the boots with every single step. By the time the weekend was over the boots looked like they were very old. As if they had been worn through many holiday parties and poorly cared for.

The only way to prevent the scuffing would be to walk like a dude, but even more exaggerated. Kind of defeats the purpose of being sexy, doesn't it. Instead I just model strutted like usual and dealt with the scuffs. I was careful to not sit or stand in a way that showed off the inward facing sides of the boots for this reason. I was wearing a skin tight, sheer body suit with these boots and the scuff marks are the only thing that made me self-conscious... if that says anything about how bad the scuffs were. I will try to add a picture later.

Also, I have rather normal sized calves. I'm thin and my calves aren't very big. I'm athletic but I've never had trouble with boots being too tight. These boots were ALMOST too tight at first. They did loosen up after wearing them for a few hours.
