For me it is to find 38 boots a big problem in shoe size, where my thick walls fit into it. Here I find virtually no boots. These boots I've seen on the internet somewhere else, where was seen on the image more clearly how far along the shaft of the boot. Therefore, I ordered this in my shoe size 38 and there was to read here that the boots be large, ordered me following additional insoles: The insoles are perfect for these boots, you have with you a very different footing in the shoe and your own size is then no longer too big. The insole I ordered in size 39 and it fits perfectly into the 38iger shoe. The boot has a height of 30cm measured in size 38 from the floor, so sole inclusive and has a length inside the upper shaft edge of 39cm. Here so I can finally time a tight-fitting stretch jeans pocket with inside. The boot has a beautiful soft leather and the insole sits the boots really good at walking. Without insole it feels more like a slipper and sits very loosely. With insole me the seat of the boot personally like better. Highly recommended boots, especially for women with wider calves.
