Do these boots fit wide calves?

Yes. The shaft is listed as wide and the boot comes in normal and wide widths, so it suits larger calves better than most tall boots. Slimmer legs may find the shaft loose.

How tall is the shaft and heel?

The shaft is 14.5 inches tall and the block heel is 1 inch, with no platform. That puts the top around mid-knee for most wearers.

Are the Kellie boots waterproof?

No. There is no Gore-Tex or other waterproof membrane, and the lining is synthetic. Treat leather versions before wearing them in wet weather.

How do you get them on?

A side zipper plus lacing opens the boot up. Most owners say they slide on easily once the zipper is open.

What is the insole like?

It combines leather, foam, polyurethane and cork with a midfoot support bridge. Owners describe it as cushioned rather than hard.

Are they real leather?

It depends on the colorway. Some versions use leather uppers, others faux leather, velvet or polyurethane, so check the material listed for the color you pick.
