Lisa Knee High Boot (Women)

I ordered the size 8.5 Lisa Knee high boot in black suede in WIDE CALF; the box says wide calf, but there is absolutely no way these should be marketed as such. I do have wider calves, but have no trouble at all with other brands’ wide calf knee high boots (Vince Camuto, Marc Fisher, and Dolce Vita to name a few - their wide calf boots fit like a dream). I’ve been on the hunt for black suede knee high stiletto boot (with gold or neutral hardware) for a while, when I came across these beauties. And they are beautiful boots. It’s a shame I could not zip them half way up to my calf! VB should be ashamed of themselves for trying to say these are WC, I even measured the top calf width and I don’t think I got the right pair. Even the details say 16 inch circumference (which is usually taken from a size 7, meaning 8.5s would be even wider). See for yourselves from the picture - definitely not 16 inches. So so disappointed. I was thrilled when I found these, and heartbroken when they didn’t fit.

I thought I had wide calves but this was too big for me I’m relieved to say? Perfect for someone who does have wide calves but I looked like a storm trooper in it. 😅 I wear a size 9 in most shoe brands so the foot part was perfect and would have been really nice otherwise. I’ll try her other regular size calf boots and hope I get a better fit. Shopping and returns were smooth as usual thanks to Nordstrom!
