... So it describes my wife. Because the trend in women's boots clearly lies with extremely narrow upper shanks - possibly even the description should be changed to "Mädchenstielfel"? Often it is seen that women sometimes even accommodate jeans or dress pants in bootleg (which must have just as thin legs / calves?). My beloved wife was by no means a "tight Waderln", and yet this works best with nylons / pantyhose or with very thin leggings with this here. People - also women belong to nunmal this species - are just different (not every (r) is spindly and has just such, possibly "rickety chassis") when going the manufacturer and seller finally it with the right amount-information (eg in cm) a? In the shoe size it'll work but also because no giant fuss is á la medium to medium in size, possibly a little larger than, or how would you like it? made - GRRRRR! The manufacturer advertises, inter alia, order a large, extra wide (in other models sometimes even slightly adjustable) stem bust offer - why then, but in almost all exclusively only the heel is always specified exactly (as well as here at Amazon), so the buyer relatively important information not, or are only conveys succinctly, we must now do not really understand, or what is one (woman) among otherwise "normal" be interpreted? The really nice boots and the innovative "Walking on Air" system are according to my wife a real improvement over other competitors -. Therefore the strong buy recommendation! However, a reliable shaft length written would mE times imperative to assume to have been really set in advance in knowledge of what one wants to acquire - or even at all can (at least this is true of my understanding to product information and transparency: Who likes to buy even the " pig in a poke ") - because it is missing here as well, there's just 1 star deduction.
