Review on Women'S Frye Harness 12R Boots - Italian Leather, Goodyear Welt Construction, Durable Rubber Outsole, Nickel & Brass Hardware, 11.5" Shaft Height by Natasha Davis

Made in the USA. I bought this black boots for traveling during winter season so I don't need to pack extra shoes. It's strong enough for daily long walks; the design is okay for afternoon tea / fine dining (because it's plain black). Easy to remove (I have a couple of Charlie Horse boots by Lucchese – my husband always helped me to remove). I put "Fit as expected” because I read some reviews mentioned it’s running small, and I learned from experience, so I always bought boots that 1/2 size larger because I need rooms to remove boots that don't come with zippers, and better for long walks. I normally wear 6.5 US, so I bought 7M US. I could have bought 6.5 but I might have problem to take it out because of the "narrowness" (please note this if you have wide feet). More rooms for my toes and heels are better for long walks - more relaxed.Leather (no lining) insole – which is very important for me because my skin get itch with synthetic materials. Nice look of square and hard toe box. Vamp feels strong. It’s comfortable to wear for three all day long walks. The narrowness doesn’t feel narrow anymore. Shaft: smooth and soft leather. Outsole, welt, heel are not leather – I intentionally choose this hoping it will not slippery. Good boots!
