Description
Perfectly sleek, this gorgeous leather boot incorporates subtle polished detail to accentuate a tucked-in look. If your foot is between sizes, we recommend you order the larger of the two. If you have a wide foot, be sure to check out our styles that come in wide sizes; however if only regular widths is available in the style you like, you might need to order a half size up.When you receive your boots, always try them on in the afternoon for the best true fit, as that’s when your foot tends to be at its largest The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. Founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well-to-do shoemaker from England, and family-run until 1945, Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers on both sides of America's Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-American war, and by Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. When home-steading drew adventurous New England families to the West during the mid and late 1800's many of the pioneers wore Frye Boots for the long journey. Today Frye remains true to its roots with its line of heritage boots, but continues to innovate as it introduces chic new handbags, pumps, and sandals to its collection.

These are riding boot perfection. Love the leather soles (I don't clip clop when I walk) and the high quality leather uppers. These are leather through-and-through, unlike other leather boots I have purchased in recent years. I bought these in wide calf and was pleased I did. I am always on the brink of a wide calf boot, but can usually can get away with the regular calf. In these, I read in reviews that the calf was small, so the wide calf weren't as wide as other brands. The length was also a smidge long but that suits me fine because I like to wear medium weight socks in these since there isn't a ton of padding. If you like to wear orthotics in your shoes, size a 1/2 size up and that should be equivalent to a whole size large to accommodate a full length insert. You should be able to fit a 1/2 length orthotic in you actual size since they fit generously. The width is also a tiny bit narrow, but my medium width feet didn't have an issue. Heel height is perfect and works great for shock absorption on hard pavement. I wore these on a long walk on gravel and my very flat feet were happy the entire day. These are the kind of boots you'll own for years if you treat them well (stay out of downpours and condition them a couple times a year). This, in my opinion makes them completely worth the price. I also own this exact pair (black) in the brown Cognac color as well and they are beautiful. My favorite boot purchases ever!

And pretty, well, "ta boot!' I have many problems with my feet .... bunions, high arches, bone spurs, bi plantar facitis .... O yes. I should have listened all those years ago when I was young and my matronly coworkers would tell me I was going to ruin my feet wearing high heels. My first experience wearing Frye boots I found I could not wear those particular boots so I always shied away from them and opted to get Danskos and Ariat. Well, I saw a girl on the street one day a few weeks ago in some Frye boots that I thought were glorious so I took a shot and let me tell you: These are hands down The Most Comfortable boots of ANY kind I have EVER worn and my plan is to one day buy MORE! The color is nicely distressed. The fit is like a GLOVE. They are feminine. They ROCK. I wear these for hours and hours and HOURS and they don't bother my feet at all. Look great with skirts and jeans. And probably leggings if I had any of those. My one and only complaint is that when I took them out of the box, they had obviously no doubt about it been WORN by someone who then had the utter audacity to RETURN THEM. What a loser you are whoever you are! The bottoms were scuffed and dirty! I ended up keeping these boots because I waited SEVERAL days for them just to ship and I had to wear something to work. Amazon was great about it and did try and make it right, but it was just a day late and a dollar short, so to speak. So BEWARE if you purchase these boots ... You just might pay the high price and get stuck with something someone else wore and then returned. And splurge on the Frye non aerosol oil spray to protect them ... it works great.

Boots arrived in a generic box, so honestly I questioned if they were Frye knock offs. But they are beautiful and appear to be leather and nicely made.

I've been a loyal Frye wearer for at least 7 years, and owned other Melissas, Veronica, Olive, Carson, Dara, Campus and some others. While I'm not a shoe and leather goods aficionado, my last two Frye purchases (including these) have been major disappointments. When I received these, they came in the notorious matte black box instead of the usual white glossy box. Upon unboxing, they smelled great, the gray color (Smoke) was really lovely, and the leather on the shaft was nice and soft as expected. With some difficulty and straining, I was able to pull these on. Yes, the ankle is very tight and so is the toebox. I bought an 8 and am a true 8, but have rather narrow feet and narrow calves/ankles. These fit just fine length-wise. Upon closer inspection, I was really disappointed by the quality of these boots. They're acceptable but not for Frye. Maybe Steve Madden? Or some shady "Boot Outlet" you'd drive by in the midwest where boots are "buy 1 get 2 free." The sole and heel are simply egregious. Those of you who have worn Fryes know that there are traditionally metal cobblers' pegs that run along both sides of the arch, something these are clearly missing. I own the Campus boots as well, and the "lug" bottom on these is not rubbery, grippy, or anything representing a "lug" bottom except the patterning. On these boots they feel more like a sad hard plastic (think Rubbermaid plastic totes). Even worse than the lug patterning though, is the heel. As my boyfriend (a more seasoned Frye wearer) said: "they look like outlet heels." The heel of a Frye boot should be a smooth stacked heel of good quality leather and polished to a semi-gloss when new. Smooth and heavy/dense to the touch. These looked like someone took a stack of beef jerky, half-heartedly squeezed them in a stack, and cut the stack with a dull knife. There's not polish to them, they look haggard and poorly cut, their density is on par with the budget line of Penguin Classics at Barnes & Noble, and are rough to the touch. The heels look like someone forgot to finish them, at the very least. Less major complaints: I understand that there is natural variation in leather, and it can be beautiful (this is the case in my other Frye boots, and they're beautiful). But the variation in the color on these boots isn't due to natural variation in the leather--it looks like someone took a 99 cent paintbrush from Home Depot and slapped some dye on these in one runny, thin coat. It's streaky and cheap looking. I always treat my boots with Frye's leather conditioner and waterproofing spray, so it doesn't bother me so much (they're much darker now and the weird dye pattern isn't really visible), but if you plan to wear these without treating them, beware the 3rd grade art project level of precision. My last and least concerning gripe: the little Frye logo buttons on the pulls look cheap. They appear to be metal, but might as well be plastic. The Frye logo and surrounding print look like someone took a rubber stamp and stamped too hard, smearing all the font. The distressing/weathering of the buttons looks hackish and overly done (think Hobby Lobby "vintage"). I don't like branding and logos being overly present in any case, so I'm glad these buttons are small but I wish they had stuck to well-chiseled, durable metal hardware. Remember the brushed metal Frye rivets that were flat and just had the double F? I wish these tacky shiny buttons were those instead. These look Michael Kors-level flash with no quality. On a positive note, the calves are really well-shaped for those with narrower calves (gaping riding boots--no thanks) and are nice and tall, and look quite elegant from a distance. Today is my second day wearing them and they are already feeling a little more comfortable/broken in, and the leather lining inside is nice and soft. The pulls seem well stitched and sturdy (you'll need them to get these boots on the first few times), but I am skeptical and will see if they hold up. I'm still hoping these will wear reasonably well and look better with age (as they should), but I suspect I will need to get them resoled much sooner than other Fryes, and I will be relieved to do so and get a decent quality sole put on. And yes, I could just buy the Made in America line, but why aren't Fryes made in America anymore? Or at least made in Mexico but with the same standards? I like my Campus boot, but a girl can't just wear square toed everything all the time. Frye, I beg of you--go back to making things in America and done well. No more flashy trashy aluminum hardware and plastic soles. I don't mind the $400+ price tag if I'm buying real Fryes that I can wear out in the field, around the office, and everywhere in between, but if this is what Frye has become, I'm better off buying some made in China garbage I'll trash remorselessly in a few months.
