These are really beautiful, real Frye Boots. All leather and made in Mexico. The studs are silver in color. They are cozy and the leather gets nice and soft after being worn for a bit. They literally form to your ankles and feet. I bought a pair in black and brown. I wore the black a lot and still do. I just never seemed to have the right outfit for the brown. I have never worn them, they have only been tried on and in storage. The fit is a perfect 6 and as you wear them the leather on the sides gets softer and easier to slip on. I have worn the black pair with jeans and also with dresses. Trust me you will not want to take them off, they go with pretty much everything and can be worn for every season. We have a smoke/pet free home. A great buy since I paid $290 for them.. Please do ask questions, I would be happy to answer. Thank you!
