**Frye Carson Piping Tall Boots for Women – Genuine Antiqued Pull-Up Leather, Western-Style Piping, Inside Zipper & Low Heel – 15" Shaft – Perfect for Cowgirl Fashion, Rodeo & Western Outfits**

These are classic boots. Well made. Some things to know: They run long in the foot. I ordered a 5.5 which is my usual size and there is extra room at the toe. I made them work by adding a gel arch support insole, this helps with comfort also. The heel is a nice medium height, easy to walk all day, but they are not going to make you look taller. The leather is flexible so they are comfortable from the start - ankle area flexes easily. The boots are not lined or insulated nor do they have a cushioned sole. The style is form fitting and the calf is snug. The look is sleek and tailored - classic english riding boot. I have worn them with thick fleece leggings and they zip alright, but they won't zip over corduroy pants. Plan accordingly. Overall I really like these boots. I am used to Ariat boots in western styles which are built differently. Once I added the insole on these they are as good.
