Absolutely gorgeous boots and I love them! Frye always delivers and these are perfect! For me, all the Frye Melissa Short Boots fit somewhat narrow, but they do stretch enough for me with some wear. Takes a few days to a few weeks to stretch, depending how much you wear them. I'd prefer to buy the women's size 10 but it seems to be a very difficult size to find in the Fryes. Luckily, I can also wear a 9.5 in the Melissa, with still plenty of room in front of my toes, as long as I wear thinner socks. I do put a thin insole in them to offer extra cushioning as I find the insoles to be very hard. All in all, I am loving my new Frye Melissa Boots in black!
