I've pined for Fryes a long time and read reviews about fit. Different reviewers took different approaches with varying results. Some went up a half size, some went up a whole size, some stuck with their actual size. Since my feet are vanilla 8s (nothing complicated) I went with size 8. Big mistake. The boots are drop dead gorgeous, making the outcome all the more painful. I would love to  wear them, but couldn't get my foot far enough in to touch the inside sole. I still long for a pair of Fryes but will have to find an actual store where I can try them on. Very, very bummed!! I think the boots nevertheless deserve five stars. I almost gave four, because I believe there should be some kind of better fit guide from Frye, but I wasn't sure I could fault the boots for that, as they appear to be flawless, and sturdy enough to last forever.  Arrgghh!
