I am frugal so dishing out this much money for a pair of boots was tough. So glad I took the plunge though. They arrived safe and sound and it took me about two to three weeks to break them in. I applied a protective cream which darkened them up nicely. Then they went with me on a trip to Texas (such a perfect place to wear them!). I wore them for traveling as they would have taken up a lot of space in my luggage, and they were super comfortable. I also loved wearing them in the Hill Country, not having to worry about getting them dirty or scuffed up. They look great with shorts and short skirts, and also work well with skinny jeans in colder weather. The quality of these boots is superb and I am looking forward to many many years of wear out of them.

Note: My husband loved them so much I ended up buying him a shorter pair for Christmas. He too is now sold on Frye boots!
