I have been wanting a pair of Frye boots for a long time, ordered them and am very happy with them. I read previous reviews and ordered a half size down but had a hard time getting them on where the ring is. I would stick with original size.
I bought these for my husband. He normally wears a size12, but read the reviews and bought him a 11 1/2 and it fit perfect. I got him the brown tone which he liked and it really goes with everything. Husband said they only took a short time to break in.
The boot does run a bit big; I usually wear a 14 and I got the 13 and it fits great. It takes a bit of time to break in the boot but after wearing them 3-4 times now I can feel the leather starting to give and fits even better. These are really well made boots and I can see them lasting for a very long and are worth the price. I would suggest not wearing them a full day when you first get them since they are a bit stiff and you need to allow some time to break them in. The color, workmanship and over all style are great and I am now looking at getting the same pair in black. Great boot!
