I searched on amazon for a long time trying to decide which Frye boot to order.  I thought from the reviews and pictures that this would be the perfect boot.  When I took them out of the box, I was surprised to find the calves were larger than expected and the over all look of the boot was clunky and awkward.  I hate to say it but they almost look like gum boots.  I admit, I'm somewhat disappointed on the overall look since they don't look at all like the picture.  They definitely run a half size larger and would be better suited for someone with larger calves.  Too bad they didn't work since they are very well made and the leather is lovely.
