My go to boot!

I have owned over a dozen pair of Frye boots/shoes and these are my favorite hands down! They fit right out of the box, no stretching needed. The leather starts out a bit stiff but softens somewhat over time. The material the soles and heels are made of create the most comfortable cushion to walk on. I can be on my feet all day with these no problem. The only thing more comfortable are maybe my slippers and tennis shoes, which don't work well in bad or cold weather! This is the second pair of this style I've owned. The toe box is roomy so no pinching at all! And they are made in the good ol US of A! One more reason to buy them!

Very Clunky

So I am a huge follower of reviews on this boot people said buy a size up which I did....big mistake...too big. Unfortunately I had to return them for the high price I wasn't going to wear a pair of thick socks.

Good boot choice

I really like this boot. They ran a little big so I had to go down a size. Also, the boot shaft is loose so it's a different feel than most boots. It takes a little getting used to but I love them. Beautiful craftsmanship and quality that you come to expect from Frye.

Almost Perfect

I ordered a 7.5, which normally I can wear an 8 but they didn't have an 8. When I tried them on in person, there was too much room in the front of the toes and the top calf part was WAY too big around on my ankles/calves! That look was not attractive so unfortunately, I have to return them.

Frye Boot Lover

I have many pair of Frye boots. Was happy when I saw this style at an old discounted price before a price increase. Ordered a size 7 in black & the fit is perfect. No break in time required. American made craftsmanship is noticeable compared with other styles that are made in Mexico. Excited to add these to my collection.

Hard To Get On/Off But SOOOOO Cute.

These boots are adorable and the perfect shaft height for a petite girl like me! I sized down to a 7 based on the other reviews, although I normally wear a 7 1/2 in Frye. I'm glad I did even though they are a bit more narrow in the toe. They would have been way too big otherwise. However...as other reviews state, these boots are indeed hard to get on and even harder to get off. It's the only reason I knocked off a star. Otherwise, they're perfection.

Beautiful boots, but my heels slipped

I have been in love with these boots since high school. With that said, the quality is outstanding however, the boots continued to slip at the heel on both feet. I changed socks multiple times using thin socks, thicker socks and really thick socks to no avail. Unfortunately I had to return these boots. Wished they fit my feet.

Didn't work for me

Beautiful coloring, quality made boots but could not comfortably put the boots on without a struggle. Once on they were mostly comfortable, however I needed something I could put on quickly and go. Sadly returned.

love frye

Love these boots! They are amazing with jeans or a sundress. A little stiff out of the box like most boots, but will break them in easily. Width seems to run a little snug compared to other Frye boots, but not worried.

Boot that will adapt to everything.

Love the boot. It has a more slender fit, so your foot doesn't feel lost within the boot. The boot also complements several different looks. It has a biker look, that can move into a Country Western look, then into a Hobo looks with long flowing skirts. Lastly, since it's Frye, you know you'll have it for decades to come. Very versatile boot.

Difficult to pull on

I debated how many stars to assign these. They are gorgeous boots of course. I love the height and they will go with jeans or dresses. My only two problems with them (and other Frye harness styles I've tried) is they are hard to get on and off for some reason. I've had other boots without a zipper and they have been fine, but these require a bit of work to pull on. They also are not the softest leather, which is maybe the reason? I have not decided whether to keep them or not. They style is perfect for my needs but I fear they will be annoying
