The ULTIMATE must-have boot if you live in inclement weather, where it's impossible to look good during snow/sleet/freezing rain, complicated by road salt, mud, grease/grime/etc. This boot conquers, all the while looking FABULOUS! Web page photo doesn't capture it's edgy, classic looks. Looks RICH in person. And is THE most comfy footwear I've ever owned--right out of the box. I LIVE in mine, wearing 16-18 hours daily, with NO foot fatigue at the end of the day. Heel looks substantial/mid-high, but maintains the foot in a flat stance, rather than "pitched". My feet, legs, & back are supported w/ a natural, comfy stance all day long, and the all-leather construction allows my feet to breathe--Hallelujah! No more sweaty, swelling, stinky feet. Most other reviewers advise these run big. Not me. My regular size (10) fit my wide feet perfect. (
Frye advises
boots are supposed to allow ample toe wiggle room, & slip in the heel.)
Slides on/off my feet effortlessly. Leather is thick & substantial, with a durable finish, water & dirt glide right off - I haven't even so much as wiped mine down with a damp cloth yet, but will do so EASILY if needed. Lug sole gets my feet up and away from direct contact with water & snow & keeps feet dry. This is an instant classic for so many good reasons! Worth every penny & more.
