Thanks for the tip OP! I also ordered these - they arrived today and I love them. I like a loose calf fitting whether with a dress or over jeans - I just prefer that look so I'm delighted. They are very slightly big but nothing an insole won't solve.

Mine arrived today & I love, love, love them Grin They are so comfy.

I had to adjust the buckles a bit as they were a bit wellie like otherwise but now they are fine.

Love one of the tops I got (for work) not so sure on the other but will probably keep it.

All in all, a happy shopper Smile

Well, I've had the email to say they've received my return so now I'm just hanging on for the exchange ones! Will let you all know what I decide to do when they arrive!

Has anyone else ordered a four and is able to tell us the measurement round the top?

Received mine today.

First thing I notice is that they're scuffed along the top of the boots. They're also too big.

I like the style and they fit my chunky legs. A little disappointed that the leather is quite flimsy, though...

So, I'm returning for smaller size and, hopefully, someone better on quality control.

Well I promised an update - and I'm still whining! The size 4's arrived, and as predicted are indeed an inch smaller round the calves, = good, and they fit along the length of the foot. However the section round the ankle still isn't right for me. I think it's to do with the fact that the ankle opening has to be larger because they're pull on, and with where the buckle actually sits - it's not so much the ankle as across the bridge of the foot. The total result of which is that they give me the appearance of whacking great fat cankles :( as the styling detail sits too low. And the fit is still a bit generous up the calf. Whoever said they are like leather wellies was right, if I had nothing similar I'd go for them, but given that I do already have flat brown calf boots and heeled brown under-the-knee boots, I just can't justify another £50, even though that's an amazing price for DM's. And there wasn't another return ticket included so I'll still have paid a total of £5 for the privilege of trying them on. Bah, I want new boots!
