text: I have several pairs of Frye boots both in tall and short and they have all fit true to size so I ordered these in my size.  These boots are tall and do not have a zipper therefore you have to shimmy your foot down the shaft of the boot to get it on.... IF you can.  I could not in my size and back they went to Amazon.  I ordered a 1/2 size up and I was able to SQUEEZE my feet into them, then the heel area was a little loose and slipped a bit.  I know you can wear thicker socks but I probably  would not be able to get my feet through the boot shaft. I wore them only a couple of hours before they became unbearable. They are very stiff and there is no arch support in this style.  I was surprised that they were marked &#34;Made In Mexico&#34;.  I always thought that Frye was made in America.  I love the look of the boot and plan to take them to a shoe shop to get them stretched widthwise. I hope this helps.  I thought Amazon had free returns. I was charged additional money when I returned my first pair to exchange even though they were the exact same price. All my other Frye boots have been so comfortable from the start ....IF these boots were not on clearance I would send them back again but the discounted price is letting me give them a 3rd chance!  :)
