Well, the popularity of Frye boots seemed to have skyrocketed, so I thought I'd give them a whirl. I love cowboy boots and have a few pair, so I did my research before I jumped on the bandwagon.

I really appreciate the fact that the "Carson" style will fit a smaller calf! It is such a relief---so many boots are way huge on the calves and it looks ridiculous. It may be because these boots don't "stand up" on their own, but are more of a slightly stretchy pull-on. To me, they easily fit over skinny jeans, leggings, or hosiery. You can dress them up or down, and they have a beautiful, quality feeling leather.

Many reviewers said they sized down, but I didn't think this seemed necessary. Other brands I have are at least a half or full size different. I usually wear an 8, but bought a 7.5. On one side of my foot/toe area, it really started to hurt by the end of the day, but the other foot was fine and fit great. Next time, I would order my regular size (or go somewhere to try them on first).

I wouldn't pay full price for these, it seems a bit silly....like the company is taking advantage of their popularity.  But to sum it up, they really are quality made, versatile and being a simple style, will be a piece of your wardrobe for years to come :)
