I saw these boots online and had to have them. I know the the Frye brand tends to be a bit more pricey but will last a long time. These are so comfortable as is, soft leather, decent cushion in the soles, and they don't hurt when I walk around in them all day. I did put in extra insoles in the bottom to get that extra cushion, and now they also feel even better. I normally wear size 5.5 and I would say these run pretty true to size. The leather is pretty nice, has that worn in feel so it's really soft. My calves are a bit on the bigger side, so I have trouble finding boots that go on easily and these slip right on with room to spare (no zippers!), even if my jeans are tucked inside. They look cute with jeans and skirts. I also had a 20% off coupon when amazon was opening the shoe shop, so I saved over $60! I think I've worn these almost every day since I've bought it and two of my friends are already splurging on them as well. I would recommend treating the boots with leather lotion to increase their wear and avoid ruining the leather once the rainy season sets in.
