My very favorite boots until my feet grew! In my experience, Frye runs a little small, these fit more like a 9, but they are marked as 9.5. Black short cowboy boot, intentionally factory distressed (light scratches and lighter leather color) on toe and heel. These boots have been re-soled once. There is wear on the bottom heels of the boot as well. Heel measures 1.5 in, shaft of boot is 7 in
