When I saw these boots on sale for $148 I did not hesitate.  When they arrived and I took them out of the box, they were absolutely beautiful and extremely well made.  The fit was true to size and the fit in the circumference calf was perfect.  The only thing that I do not like about them is that the indentation in the boot where the calf should be is shorter than where my calf actually is by about an inch.  Now I am over 5' 10" so it might be due to my height.  I am still keeping them.  I have to say, although these boots are fabulous, the Paige Clover  and the Philip Harness boots have both become my personal favorites out of the Frye collection and the fit is perfect for a woman of my height.
