Strange Boots
I ultimately returned these boots. I purchased them in black, which is more of a charcoal color, and REALLY wanted to love them. I had followed them for months and was going to purchase the stone color also. I read other reviews & decided to purchase true to size (9.5) although I usually get a 9 in Frye boots. I felt the boot fit my foot length wise, but had a strange width to the foot - looks kind of pear shaped - which made my feet look larger than usual. The shaft is tall; I am 5'8" & it comes right to my knee. It makes my leg look a little odd from the front, but the narrow shaft is flattering from the back & side. If you have larger calves, this is likely not the boot for you. I can only wear it with tights/leggings/very thin skinny jeans. The waxy leather is unique & I like how different it is from my other Frye boots. The area between the base & the shaft is baggy, not just slouchy as Frye can be. The boot doesn't taper in towards the bottom so there is the same distance outwards from your ankle area as there is from your calf/knee. Worth ordering - a steal if it fits you or just return!
