She's been eyeballing by Frye harness boots for quite sometime. I have the brown ones and I didn't really want us to be wearing the same boot out. Saw these and picked them up for her as a gift. She loves them. Sized down half a size for her. Also, they can run a bit narrow so beware if you have wider feet. Hers took a bit of a break in period but, from my perspective, what good boot doesn't? I've worn boots professionally and in my off time for over two decades. Can't go wrong with Fryes!
