I LOVE my Frye boots!  I recently purchased a pair of 12R's and decided they were too nice to wear around the farm, so I got a fantastic deal on these 8R's and wear them daily.  A word of caution to all of you guys that have normal to wide feet - Frye boots run narrow.  I have an extremely narrow foot and these fit me like a glove.  The 12R's, I ordered in a medium (D) width and was sent a WIDE width.  I got such a great deal on them, I kept them.  They are -without question- wider than the 7M but the 7W fits me like most 7D would fit.  These 7M's fit more like a womens boot in width (not length).  Regardless, I am VERY happy with my Frye boots.  I may order a second pair for when these wear out!  But, for those of you with normal mens width feet - my suggestion would be to get a Wide width in Frye boots.  If you have a very wide foot - Frye may not be the best option for you.
