Okay, I never leave reviews...I should for the amount of online shopping I do & I always read them before I buy.  I had to leave a review for the FRYE brand boots because my experience has been so frustrating.  I love the style and the quality which led me to purchase 3 different styles of this boot ( tall and short) all with the same result....HORRIBLE heel slippage.  Not just with my normal size...with all sizes....yes, I tried going smaller too.  I understand about breaking the boot in as I have read in other reviews...at least I think I understand.  I tried wearing the boots around the house for hours with no relief from the flopping when I walk and my heel slipping in and out.  Tried extra socks, inserts, padding...I really wanted these boots to work. I mean how long is this breaking in period?  Months?  Years?  What guarantee do I have that this will even happen?  I'm sorry I am not willing to risk my hard earned dollar and go through an undetermined timeline of being uncomfortable for the FRYE brand.  There are plenty of other brands out there with the look and quality that don't require this frustrating heel slippage.  Too bad...they make a cute boot.
