OMG! I just got these yesterday night and I'm wearing them today. They are beautiful and the dark brown old town color looks much better in person. They are true to size and are so comfortable. They were a little hard to get into but I'm sure it won't be a problem for long. No break in time needed. I had been debating on getting these for a long time and when I saw this color on sale I had to jump on it and I'm glad I did! If you are debating on these you need to go ahead and get them! You won't be sorry. I can tell they will last a long time and I'm going to have to find some new clothes to match because I don't think I ever want to take them off. FYI: The  top of the boot does rub against my leg in the back but I put some tape on it and it's bearable. I'm looking for my next pair of Frye boots now! So happy with this purchase.  :)
