Today's Special Value

Full-leather boot shafts can still be made comfortable, even for wide calves. It's called goring or lacing and that can be done stylishly when done right. I'm not a fan of the stretchy fabric backs on tall boots.

They had to make it mixed metal because the cost of leather is sky high now.  I love the name (have a few of his clothing)  I prefer all leather, but the cost would have close to a thousand.

Well, after due consideration of the fact that I've never had this brand before, have no idea if they are padded enough or have arch support, and that fabric in the back would be a disaster in the very rainy PNW, I cancelled my order.  I'd rather have another ankle boot, anyway, and from a brand I know and trust.

Vince Camuto name is very good in clothes.  I haven't tried his footware

I don't care for the style of this top.  I don't like the way the top flares or the buckle.  If you like it enjoy.

Not that more expensive.  Vince Camuto and several other great leather boot brands of wide shaft full leather tall boots are priced around $250.  I've shopped them.  Yes, there are some for 4-digits, but that's like any fashion in retail; some are priced for their name alone.

Easy pass for me.  Just not interested in wearing a tall boot at all.

I like this look, but do not need more boots. It doesn't appear that these are selling that well, bu tmaybe they just didn't bring in as many since they are offering 3 different widths.....

My size was sold out in all colors before 8 am east coast time.

The texile back is a show stopper for me. A full leather boot costs more, but looks so much nicer. I'd rather have no boots at all than ones like this.

I do agree with you @Quackeroo. I've never had a pair that's mixed material.

@beach-mom   I do like the overall style of the boots and the acknowledgement that women's calves are not all the same size. The colors are nice too, especially the thyme and the tortilla. I guess I am just old school about all-leather items. I do understand they are trying to make fashion affordable for more people.

I have been looking for boots just like this!  I have wide calfs and I love a style with stretchy backs.  It's not a price issue, it is a FIT and COMFORT issue.  My calfs are large, my ankles and heels are narrow, and if I can find an all leather boot that will fit the calf, there will be an uncomfortable excess of material at the ankles.  With a stretchy knit back, the boot will fit without a bunch of uncomfortable leather at the ankle.  So I am happy to see these!  I may buy a couple of pairs!  

This issue about bunchy ankles was noticeable in the presentation.  Jane decided to wear the regular calf boot, even though regular calf boots rarely fit, and she decided these fit.  I saw a bunch of material at her ankle, and if my boots fit like that, I would not wear them.

@NYCLatinaMe  I noticed the bunching around Jane's ankles and thought that didn't look like a good advertisement for the boot's overall fit. I am glad you have found a boot you like and that may fit you properly. Please post when you receive it if it works well for you.

I had hoped they would have come in navy, but caved and got the brown.

It has been years since I had a tall boot, so am giving them a try.

I'm so happy they didn't come in Navy because I wouldn't have been able to ride them if they did.  I have wanted a pair of navy suede boots for a very long time .
