I love everything about these boots. They are a gorgeous deep"antiqued" color. I chose "Somewhat Large" instead of "Fit as Expected" but honestly I never know what to expect with Frye. My ONLY issue with Frye boots in general is that I don't have a consistent size. For the last 20+ years I have always been a size 7.5 with very few exceptions ...but once I discover that I am a size 7 in another brand, then I am always a 7 in that brand. Not so with Frye's which means that I have to return a lot of boots to Amazon/Other Retailer. 12r Harness boots? Size 7. 12r Engineer? Amazon recommends a 7.5 but I am a solid 7 unless it is a Veronica or Natalie and then I am a 8 and honestly, a 6.5 would have probably been a better fit in a few styles but I am never ever a 6.5 so that isn't even on my radar until I have already worn the boots and it is too late to return them...so then I spend more $$ on inserts trying to make the boots more snug.

Often I will read the reviews that say "true to size" or "size up" and honestly, I find that I need to size down. It's crazy. I sometimes wonder if us reviewers are all phoning in from the same planet...myself included! Am I alone in this?
