These fit smaller than all my other size 8's of Frye Boots. I would have ordered and 8.5 had I known. I know with time these boots will stretch out some as they are made with leather but I was a little disappointed in the tighter fit. I own 2 pairs of Fryes 12R's, 1 pair of Fryes 8R's and the Fryes Paige Tall Leather Riding Boots and these Fryes Deborahs fit tighter than any of those. Also I was surprised that the gold on the foot part didn't match the gold on the shaft part and back heel of the boot. They will need a longer break in time due to the tighter fit. They are gorgeous boots though and am so happy to have gotten a pair. You just can't beat Frye Quality.Really like the boots. I did have to return the first pair because I ordered my normal size 8. They were too small so I went up to an 8.5 and they fit fine. Also, the first pair was Gray. They were pretty but when I reordered I chose the Anthracite color. It looks like the Gray. I expected it to be a black/charcoal color.They are a high quality boot.Beautiful stylin’ cowboy boots for this Texas Gal. Too damn expensive but absolutely stunning boots made from quality materials. They are not your every day boot of course but they are not fragile sissy boots either.I have several pair of Frye boots, and these are my favorite! As always, Frye boots are very tight when you put them on for the first time. It takes about 3-6 months of wear to get that perfect fit. They’ll last for 10 plus years after that. I wear an 8.5 in most shoes, and that’s what I ordered for these boots. I’ve had so many compliments! Love them!After exhausting all of the reviews about this boot from not only this website but a bunch of others, I ordered the boot in my true size which is a 7.5. I was so disappointed when I tried the boot on and it was 1/2 size too small. I promptly returned it and wanted to reorder the shorter boot in a size 8 but it is sold out. So sad!!These shoes are extravagant, beautiful, and unlike any other boots I've seen. I really like them and found them very comfortable, even the first time I put them on my foot. I get many compliments when I wear them, strangers coming up and commenting. If you want a unique pair of shoes that will get you lots of positive attention, buy these. Just know that beauty comes at a cost.These are beautiful boots, however, I bought the Grey and was surprised to see so many of the studs had a dot of white paint on them, too much for me. The picture zoom doesn't really show the amount of white dots over the metal studs, so I wasn't expecting that. Would have loved them if not for that, sadly returning this pair.They fit true to size they look awesome every time I go out I get double take and people always say oh I love those boots they fit good but they are new so they feel a little stiff I'm sure they'll get more comfortable as I wear them more
