Absolutely LOVE these boots.  I've always loved Frye in general but these are my absolute favorites.  Very versatile and super cute.  They are quality made and have that lovely leather smell!  Mmmm...  They are a little stiff to start with but that shouldn't be a surprise.  They are heavy quality leather and built to last.  After the first wearing they were pretty well broke in and comfy despite the heavier leather. Frye tends to run a little narrow but they are already good to go.  They have perfect style too. they are "rugged" but the heal keeps them from being too clunky. You can dress them up or down.  I really like the rubber bottom.  Some Frye boots are leather soled and therefore very slippery.  These are not.  If you buy these you will not regret it!
