Reposhing this item. Love the style and fit. I have regular sized calves based on my equestrian boots. The leather on these boots is thick, a sign of superb quality...but then again, these are vintage frye boots, so you would expect that. 👌 I'm selling only because the color doesn't work with the outfit I had in mind. I think I'm a black boot person 🤔. Sizewise, I'm typically between 8 and 8.5 in Frye Sabrina lace-up boots....I wear both sizes comfortably, and these boots fit just like my 8.5 Sabrina (just for comparison).
