I cannot believe how supple and beautiful these boots are!  You can wear them cuffed, or not cuffed. Since I'm rather tall, I prefer to wear them un-cuffed so they come all the way to my knee.  I have the "fawn" color which goes with black as well as brown and pretty much every color in between.  I am dissapointed that Frye is no longer made in the USA (Mexico now), but the boots are still the high quality that I have come to expect from Frye. They seem to run a little large, but there's no way I'm returning them. HIGHLY recommend!
