I purchased these boots less than a week ago and they have already become a wardrobe staple.  By expanding my research slightly beyond the Amazon.com horizon, I was able to see how these boots really fit, and make sure they were what I wanted.

These boots are slightly more slouchy (baggy in some areas) than the images represent.  If you want to see a true example of how the boots will look, I recommend heading over to Zappos.com and watching the video that comes with their product description.

I bought my pair in Tan (size 9.5) and found it to be a true fit, with enough space in the shaft to tuck my boot-cut jeans into comfortably.  The 2 1/2 inch heel gives me a touch of extra height and are still super comfortable to walk in.  I have put these boots through their paces, spending hours walking around town in them, and they don't hurt my feet at the end of the day.  The straps are adjustable for slight customization of size on the shaft.

I am typically not one to buy clothing/shoes based on designer names, but I specifically sought out a pair of FRYE boots based on the excellent word of mouth I've heard and their reputation for well-made, long lasting shoes.  Check back on this review in 20 years and I'll let you know how they've held up! ;)
