Love these! Do you mind measuring and providing the calf circumference? I have thick calves and I'm always hesitant when purchasing tall boots.

I can't measure them bc I don't have what with but I can tell u i have such a problem with calves. I don't think of them as huge but they are larger and I always barely fit into boots if at all. Always have lots of room for toes but can't zip.
These boot are great and my calves fit in them with jeans. Shocker. I think I did get the wrong size though bc after wearing 2 times now I feel even with a sweatsock I have room. I'm planning to put in the heel protectors I sometimes use for shoes and see if that makes a difference. Although I got a Zara size 9 which according to them is a 40 I think I should have gotten a 39 which according to them is a 8. But if I went with a 39 I'm not sure my calves would fit.
Hope this helps

I recently checked my bank statement and I got charged an "international" fee of $10.10 by my bank just for purchasing from Zara!!! Has this happened to anyone else?

I've been ordering from them for the longest time and I just recently received a fee all of a sudden. According to the bank it's due to international shipping although the items are shipped from the US and they have stores here. They are full of b.s. They are going to do some research on it. I really don't know what they have to research, but I have a feeling it's not going to be in my favor. This is so stupid.

i think using paypal is the easiest way to track those int'l fees. and the refund is so quick.
oh...email zara about this issue...i am sure they'll remove the fee once receive your email. i heard they're pretty good. but i thought they should have fixed this issues long time ago.

Call them and if u show ur bank statement via email they will refund the charges. I use Paypal since then to avoid charges and hassle.

Thanks for all your replies. I ALWAYS use paypal. The strange thing is the transaction didn't show up in my paypal account only in my bank account. I don't know how that's possible. The charge is from a week ago and I didn't notice it until now. The bank transaction says Zara Paypal even though Zara or Paypal didn't authorize a charge it only looks like it did. Sneaky. Zara said they will reimburse me if the bank doesn't waive the fee. They always have the best customer service. I'm afraid the bank is plotting something against me. I hope this is not a reoccurring thing.

I am in need of some stylish work clothes so I hit up Zara today. Got these two shirts (the white one fits SO WELL) and a black pencil skirt.

Also- anyone tried Zara's down coats and can comment on quality and fit?

And, I'm trying to find nice knee length or longer skirts, not just for work, also to wear when going out. But not maxi, because in the NYC winter if they drag on the floor then it's just gross. I'm thinking a-line just below the knee or lighter, flowy midi length. I went to the usual places such as H&M, J Crew and Zara, and while I had my hopes set to find at least a few nice things at Zara, I came up with nothing. Any suggestions?
