I was on the fence whether or not to purchase these bc they are expensive but they are totally worth every penny! I LOVE them and they are sooo comfortable. After reading the reviews I did size down, Im normally a 6 1/2-7 and I went with a 6 1/2 and they fit perfectly! Yes, I did have a little trouble as others did putting them on but thats what the pull loops are for to help.. and after they were broken in alittle they slide right on. I purchased the tan vintage veg and the color is gorgeous, will go with anything! My first pair of Frye boots and definitely not my last!
