Kalina Boot (Women)

Love this boot exactly what i wanted with elevated dress of heel. Warm caramel color with some darker tones at edges. True to pix and true to size. I am a size 10M wide calf. Calf width is perfect. I did order 10W because it’s what they had in stock and actually they fit great not too wide in ankle at all. So if on fence I’d go with 10W unless you are super narrow. Very comfy soul does wear like a heel but has that naturalized softness. Nice leather feel.

I really loved the style of these boots and thought the quality would be on par with my previous boots from Naturalizer; however, it seems that now that they have switched manufacturers and gone online, the boots are not only more expensive, but also made with much poorer quality. When I buy a tall boot, I expect the upper to be sturdy and not sag. This upper not only sags, but does so almost immediately after wear! Comparing them to my old boots was pretty eye opening an I could immediately see the differences in leather thickness and quality. I can't imagine wearing these for more than an hour, only to have a saggy boot that looks cheap. Nope! Super disappointed as Naturalizer used to be one of my favorite stores!

I was looking for a black leather boot that would work with skirts, slim pants, and dresses. AND in both the snow and rain. I’ve been looking for three+ years, not joking. I’ve tried so many styles and brands. The calf options on this pair made a big difference as I have narrow calves. The height is perfect, not too short, not too tall. I like the heel height and find these are perfect for work. I feel like they’re easier to dress up than down and haven’t worn them casually yet.

I am 5 feet 3 inches shaft top hits mid knee (needs a bit tucking in behind your knees when you sit down). My calves with pants measure at 15.5 inches when using a measuring tape. Therefore, I bought wide calf size because it measures 16.5 inches on the boot. I have medium size feet, however, with Naturalizer brand, I always prefer Wide feet size. So, I got 7.5 W Wide Calf.
