Timberland Women’s Lexiss Street Boot — ‘These boots were made for walkin’, February 18, 2009

Based on other’s reviews of this boot, I was leery of buying without being able to try them on. What may help others interested in this boot is the following: I am 5’10″ and am very athletic (full contact sparring in Tae Kwon Do; other sports). I have 17″ calves, wide feet, high instep and a flexible/flat arch. I have had foot surgery (bunionectomy), so I am very careful about the types of shoes I wear.

I have never, ever been able to find a boot that fit my claves. This boot FITS!! The top of the shaft falls about 1.5″ below my knee. I wear tights with them and had to work at getting the right boot zipped up the first few wears, but they are fabulous leather and have relaxed a bit (I can even wear sock liners with my tights for extra warmth).

Because I am curvy and athletic, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to tuck my jeans into the boots, but I really don’t care. They are comfortable, warm, have survived a pretty rugged midwest winter with…

Made for “cankles” not for wide calfs, August 29, 2008

my boots just arrived and at first glance, i was very happy. the color is beautiful, i loved the style, very nice leather quality. then i tried them on and the fit is weird. to start, i wish they were a good 1″ taller. i’m 5’10″ and they hit right at the middle of my calf. on even a shorter person, it wouldn’t be considered “knee high.” and the shape of the shaft is so odd. it is really wide in the lower area and gets tighter at the top. i guess if you were a much shorter person, this might work if it went all the way above the calf to the knee. so i have a boot that’s snug around my calf and has a good two inches of loose leather around the upper ankle/lower calf. not very flattering. i can’t decide if i’m going to return them or use them with jeans….

Stylish, rugged – will stretch!, October 14, 2009

** Update to below review **

Ended up ordering the C/D wide width and boy were they sloppy! The fit was bigger everywhere, not just in the toe box! The heel was slopping around on me and the calf circumference increased quite a bit. Decided to keep my B (medium width) and hope for the best ~~ so glad I did! Being a high quality leather, these stretched out and have become my all time favorite, go to boots!!! They are SO COMFORTABLE! I can put these on in the morning, go to church, go walk the mall, come home later and my feet feel great! If they are a little snug for your first couple of wears, just give them time and they should stretch to fit you perfectly. Best wishes! >^..^< Kat

I have been looking for a couple years for the perfect “with leggings and skirt” and “over skinny jeans” brown leather boot. This is almost perfect! I have skinny calves (13″) so I was concerned about the circumference listed at other sites for this very same boot (here it…
