These boots are absolutely gorgeous.  The two-tone effect is perfect and almost make these dark boots look like old-fashioned burgundy or ox-blood colored boots.  I've got three pair of Frye boots and they all fit the same, except for this pair, which run a little small.  They are difficult to pull on if you have a high instep and I could not wear a heavy sock with them.  Once your feet are in the shoes and they get broken in after several wearings, they get more comfortable.  I'll keep wearing them or maybe bring them to a cobbler to stretch a little.  Frye is expensive but they last forever.  I've got one pair for over 25 years and still wear them!
