Frye Alex Heavy Zip Leather Boot, 7, Black

I am 5"1" with an athletic build. Often tall boots are too tall, hitting me on the knee as well as a little too tight in the calf. These are the first boats I've seen in a long time that are tall, but shorter than the average tall boot, making them perfect for someone who's shorter in stature. I am usually a size 8, sometimes 8. 5. I got these in an 8. 5 just to be. on the safe side. I honestly can't tell if an 8 would have been better, but these feel great. The leather is the quality I would expect from Frye. The height of the heel is more than I want but otherwise the boots are perfect. All the measurements as listed in the description I found to be accurate.
