I love these boots! I have been watching these for a year and the price Amazon had on them a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't wait any longer.  They are snug fitting in the foot area so hopefully they will stretch a bit for a sock rather than just tights. I'm giving them 4 stars only because I'm disappointed that an American icon like Frye is making some boots in another country including these. And hey Amazon...how about posting country of origin for folks who prefer to buy American...meaning MADE in America!
