These boots are wonderfully broken in. Soles and heels are in amazing condition. Insides are super clean. There are a couple campfire burns on the outside of the left boot. Barely noticeable especially under jeans. The size stamp wore off. I am estimating they are a size 6.5. I put comparison pictures of an 8 Ariat boot and a 6.4 Carimua sneaker next to the boot for comparison. Smoke free home. "Nothing says American craftsmanship like the Frye Harness Boot. Inspired by the Civil War cavalry, this iconic boot is American craftsmanship at its best. Not for the faint of heart, this boot is uncompromising and gets better with age. Unlined with rugged, rubber bottoms, it needs a certain type to make this boot her own. Made in USA and sourced from domestic and imported products."
