Frye Women's Paige Boot

My first pair of Fryes!
I ordered the dark brown calfskin. They are a lovely deep dark leather, nice and tall (I am 5'6 and they come right up to my knee.
I really like these boots however I have a few gripes.

This wa to be my first pair of Frye boots and I went bold ordering them in cranberry, only to be disappointed when they got here.

I have these boots, although I didn't purchase them through amazon. They were my 2nd pair of Fryes and I love them. They fit true to size, and the leather is top quality.
