text: These boots are absolutely gorgeous. I got a half size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfect, however if you want to wear thick socks with them, you should get your regular size. I got the size 9.5 and the shaft is quite narrow, I have a 14.5 calf and these are snug on me. They are 2 inches taller than the regular Campus boots, and the detail on them is amazing, and the leather is incredible,, so beautiful, much finer than the leather on the regular campus boot. The fit on me is perfect, the width is perfect just wish the calf was a little wider but I know they will stretch out after wearing a few times.I have about 20 pairs of Frye boots and these are my absolute favorites, had I bought these first I wouldn't have bought so many Frye boots, these are exactly what I have been looking for all along. I highly recommend these boots, they are very expensive looking and classy. I.am so glad I got them..For ladies with larger than 15 inch calves, it might be a slight struggle, but you can stretch them out with water and alcohol, which I night add works wonders for stretching out leather. I know I will have these boots for years, as  they are very well constructed, .Take a chance, they are beautiful boots.
