Frye Riding Boots - Lindsay Plate Redwood - Size 8.5

The Frye Lindsay Plate "Redwood" boot is a classic, high-quality leather riding boot known for its smooth full-grain leather in a rich brown color, featuring equestrian details like slim pulls, a woven strap, asymmetrical collar, and an antiqued logo plaque at the heel, available in tall and short styles, and generally considered a durable but initially snug fit that may require sizing up. These are my wife's. She usually wears an 8.5, and bought her size in these. They're a bit snug (narrow), but still wearable for her! She says it's the nature of the boot. Key Features: Leather: Smooth, full-grain leather in a deep "Redwood" brown. Style: Equestrian-inspired, knee-high (or short ankle boot), pull-on design. Details: Woven strap through the vamp, asymmetric topline, logo plaque on the heel. Construction: Leather sole, low block heel, zip closure on some versions. Fit & Comfort: Snug Fit: Many wearers find them tight initially and recommend sizing up a half size. Break-in: The leather can be stiff but softens with wear, with some users suggesting a plastic bag trick to help get them on at first.
