I had been pining after these boots for a very long time and decided to finally bite the bullet and order them. In terms of quality, they are (mostly) outstanding. The leather and soles are solid in every way.

In terms of comfort, I agree with most other reviewers in that they are a bit stiff at first but do start breaking in as you wear them.

As for sizing, they are definitely true to size. I'm a solid 8.5 and they fit perfectly (with a regular and also a thicker sock).

Only thing is that I couldn't ignore a nagging sensation in the heel of my left boot... sure enough, when I pushed down with my fingers, I could feel a nail poking through. Darn it. I really wanted to keep and love these boots but it seems to me that if I'm going to pay this much for a quality boot, that I should have received a quality boot.

They'll be sent back shortly... thankfully Amazon has an amazing return policy. I may risk buying another Frye product again, but I'm a bit skeptical. At the same time, it's hard to ignore the other (very positive) reviews.
