I'd been looking everywhere online for these boots, and my size (8M) seemed to be selling out fast. Frye did a great job with the quality and look of these boots; I'll definitely buy the brand again. I'd love free return shipping Zappos-style, but at least I didn't have to pay sales tax on this higher-priced item. Something to note about Frye: check where the specific product is made. I've been happy with USA-made, Italy-made, and even Mexico-made, but the Frye products made in China are definitely of lesser/cheaper quality. Thanks again for these Italian boots, Frye Company and Amazon!
