Returned - concept is sadly half-baked
In theory, this boot is almost perfect. Beautiful leather, a nice tall shaft height, perfect toe box shape, perfect not-too-short, not-too-tall heel height. But the there are two terrible decision decisions that take an almost-perfect boot concept and make it a huge, huge waste of raw materials: 1) the shaft is just way too wide (on the regular calf version; I can't speak to the wide calf) and 2) the boot bunches up around the ankle due to the manufacturer's decision to only install a zipper 1/3 of the way up the boot. Both elements make the boot look very sloppy. Having a full-length zipper would allow for a much tighter fit around the ankle and reducing the width of the calf opening would also help make for a much more elegant fit.
