"I ordered these shorty boots to go with a fancy black dress that I was wearing to a 'country western' wedding just outside Nashville last weekend. I added one pair of simple CVS brand foam insoles and I was in heaven. These boots compare admirably to similar Frye styles, but cost less than half the price. They do NOT look cheap. I look forward to wearing these all year round, with jeans, dresses, and shorts. Super versatile. The stacked heel has a nice weathered look and does not look like those cheap plastic stacked heels. Great boot all the way around."
