Fryes are my favorite brand for boots and I haven't been disappointed yet by anything from them. This style is no different. It's super well made, and lined with thick shearling. My feet are always cold and these keep me warm with just a thin sock. The rubber soles grip well, no worries there.

Regarding sizing. They do run a little small due to the thick shearling. If you want them to fit perfectly out of the box, order up a half size. However, the shearling will compress after just a few wears, and the leather will stretch. You'll will end up with boots too big. I would recommend your regular sizing and wear them a lot to break in.
