I have five pairs of Frye boots and these are my favorite.  Please note, these are really 14G boots, not 14L, which have leather soles.  I have them in Tan, which is a lovely, dark golden color that goes with absolutely everything.  The leather is thick and high quality, and they are leather lined.  These Fryes are made in the USA, unlike some of the other styles, which are made in Mexico.  The rubber soles make them a tiny bit more rugged looking than the 14L and makes them useful in wet weather and on slippery surfaces.  I am 5'11" and these come up about four inches below my knee. I love that they don't look huge, even on my size 11 feet.  They fit easily under boot cut jeans, and have enough room to tuck in jeans if that's what you want to do.  As for fit, they run pretty true to size.  They are slightly larger than normal, but I would say less than half a size.  They definitely run smaller than the Frye harness and belted harness styles, both of which I also own. With a thick sock, they fit perfectly without the need for an additional insole. If you are planning to wear these as a winter boot, I would recommend ordering your normal size.  They also seem to have better arch support than the harness style, which is nice.  All in all, you can't go wrong with these!
