I had been looking at these boots for some time and decided to give them a try. They are so comfortable and so cute. They are great with a pair of skinny jeans. My calves are on the small side so they feel just a little roomy on their own. I'm 5'4" and the length is sort of mid-calf or taller which is just what I wanted. I haven't worn them outside yet so I don't know how they'll fare in the Seattle rain!
This is a great boot, soft leather and quite comfortable. Not to mention goes great dressed down or up. I purchased the black boot size 8. I got between 7.5 and 8. 8 was the right choice for length and width. I got wide feet too! I'm 5'0 ft, 115lbs, calves are average. I don't like to feel squeezed and this boot was roomy enough that I didn't feel that way. Wish the sole was slightly thicker. Short peeps could use a bit more height.. but overall a very good quality boot. I'm going to wear it for a long time!
Have these boots in three colors. They are so comfortable and look great with jeans. Love all Gentle Souls products.

Not for me

I had hoped to like these on me, but they were more rugged looking in person than in the picture and a bit uncomfortable. As for fit, they run a bit large, so I ordered 1/2 size smaller (8.5 instead of a 9) - that was fine, but even with the to strap opened up one more hole on the strap, the leather bunched oddly around the ankle, which made them uncomfortable. Just not for me, so back they went. However, for someone younger and perhaps with a smaller calf, they may fit better and I bet you'd love them - the leather is beautifully soft an supple.
