These are my second pair of Frye boots and I love the style and quality, but I made the mistake of ordering a size up in my first pair of Frye boots. Now that I have had them for a while and they are worn in, they are too big. I ordered these true to size and the are hard to get on, but I know after wearing them for a while the leather will form to my feet. But, in the mean time, these boots hurt my arches so I can't wear them all day. I am considering taking them to a cobbler to get the shaft stretched a little. That being said, these are beautiful boots and an investments, I will be wearing these for years.
