Frye boots are notoriously narrow, and I was hoping that these were different but after a few months of wear I haven't been able to break them in because they hurt my feet. After about ten minutes of wearing these, the sides of my feet (just under the toe part of my foot) feel as if they're being pinched. Imagine a piece of paper with the longest edges being rolled downwards towards each other until the ends meet...that's how my feet feel while wearing these boots. When I have time before next fall I'll take them to a cobbler to see if they can be stretched but it may be the boot itself that needs to be wider and not just the leather needing to be stretched. I only deducted two stars for this, because they are super well made and of very high quality.
