Mine were full leather and not mixed suede/leather like the ones on Zappos. Maya seemed to think that the Zappos measurements are not always accurate. I have not ordered very much from Zappos so I have no idea. It might also depend on the size - I tried on the 36 &amp; 37 and the 37 was definitely looser around the calf. My calves are a little under 13" and I was able to tighten the straps to the last setting to make them work so the buckles are functional to some degree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-i-love-these-boots-but#post-99240 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:59:33 +0000 April 99240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. Shana, I am completely prepared to believe your measurement over Zappos, but they seem to think the Esmeraldas have a 15" calf? <a href="http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7421275/c/116860.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7421275/c/116860.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-i-love-these-boots-but#post-99237 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:39:40 +0000 April 99237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, pretty much just classic, flat black boots. </p> <p>Shana, I may have to try the Esmeraldas! They look *great*. I actually need something a little smaller than 13", but I think 13 could be made to work and unlike a boot with a 12-inch calf, 13 inches seems to actually exist outside of custom-made sizes. Do the buckles allow them to be made slightly smaller, or are they mostly decorative? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-i-love-these-boots-but#post-99143 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:02:30 +0000 Ana 99143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate when designers do that. I don't want to walk around with logos all over my stuff. I too have passed up a lot of otherwise great things due to logoing. </p> <p>What are you looking for in boots? Just flat, black riding boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-i-love-these-boots-but#post-99126 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 13:37:19 +0000 shana 99126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I hate that too!

If these are the only boots you can find that fit your calf, I wouldn't take these off your list just yet. They are really nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-i-love-these-boots-but#post-99017 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 21:26:56 +0000 April 99017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After frustrating searches for knee-high boots narrow enough in the calf (hello, Medusa) and costing less than a zillion dollars, I finally spotted this pair: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3033563?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=calvin+klein+in+Women%27s+Shoes&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a> But then I noticed the back view, and it turns out that Calvin Klein has branded his name on the outside at the top.</p> <p>I HATE that. There go my boots... </p>
