I ordered these Frye Harness just like my previous pair, 1/2 size up from my normal shoes. Boots (for me) are just more comfortable when your toes are not pinned up into the front of the boot, not to mention they slide on and off much easier, if you get them 1/2 size larger than normal. Also this allows you a little exra room to wear a nice cushioned marino wool sock, that is cool in summer and warm in winter. Boots typically have harder soles, so  a good sock really helps with comfort.

These Frye Harness boots are just Wicked Cool looking and all day comfortable. This is my second pair, now have the 12r in Black and the 8r in Gaucho.
