This boots are the most amazing boots I've ever owned. I own a lot of boots and they look great but they are not comfortable. These boots look great and feel great. I wear them all day and walk all over campus and they don't hurt at all. I didn't even have to break them in! They look worn too like they've been your favorite boots for years. They come up over the ankle so they aren't super short either. I like to tuck the bottom of my jeans in them and they look great. I went with what the other reviewers said and ordered a half size up than I normally do and they fit perfectly. Frye just makes the most amazing boots. I plan to get many more pairs in the future. Highly recommend these.
