I received the burnt red Carson today. The color is beautiful and the fit is nice. I agree with other reviewers who have recommended going down a size. My only complaint is that there were not more neutral colors available for the price of the red. It doesn't matter enough to keep me from wearing them, but red just doesn't always go. I've searched everywhere for this boot at a reasonable price and will certainly keep it and now be on the lookout for a neutral. This is my second pair, I also own the Frye Billy (tall boot) they both fit wonderfully. I have a narrow foot that usually requires me to wear a zippered boot. But these are well crafted and the leather is perfect. I'll be wearing both for years.
