Vintage 1970s campus lace up knee boots gum cognac brown tan leather tall frye 8

Vintage campus lace up boots from the 70s. Leather and soles in amazing condition. Could use new insoles. Marked a size 8B. True to size, Fits me well as someone who is typically a modern women’s 8 or sometimes a 7.5. I do not think this could fit an 8.5. My sister who wears either a 7 or 7.5 also say they are a good fit for her. Ultimately please go by the measurements. Slight smoke smell to the leather. Similar to frye, zodiac, Bort Carleson. I believe they are JC Penney but I am not 100% certain.
