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.

I was looking for a classic boot - not too "Western" and appropriate for wearing to an office that's a bit more "business" than casual. This is my first pair of Frye boots, in black suede, and they are right on target, style-wise! These will be very versatile with my staple layered look of dressier leggings/tapers with tunics, long tops and a jacket or cardigan. As for fit: I'm usually an 8, which allows a little room for a full-length cushioned insole (which goes in all my shoes). Since boots can mean sizing up, I ordered an 8.5. It provided a nice amount of wiggle room in the toes but was otherwise too loose and sloppy with too much heel slippage (even with the added insole). I could tell it would likely affect my gait and lead to problems. I ordered the 8(B) next and tried them with the same insole. The fit seemed perfect, except for being tight (particularly on the right foot) across the widest part of my foot, from the ball joint to the pinky toe. Enough length, but little wiggle room for the toes, leaving my right pinky toe feeling squished. That said, I know that suede can stretch. And I also noted that other reviewers said they stretched over time (and some mentioned having them stretched by a cobbler). So, I decided to wear them indoors for the day. They do seem to be stretching a bit. I tried the 8.5 again and, though the extra toe room was nice, they just feel much too loose and wider in the shaft than I'd like. So, I'll bring them to our (excellent) local shoe repair to get some professional advice on stretching. But, at this point, I think the 8 will work. Other points to note, which have been raised by other reviewers: - Yup, the leather bottoms are very slippery! To a scary degree on carpet and more than I'd like on my kitchen tile. Since my office will be carpet and slick floors, I've got two options: scuff them up or have the cobbler add a non-slip sole. I'll consult with the shoe repair shop on the latter, as covering the sole would also help to preserve the leather and stitching and extend it's like generally. - Shaft may not work for wider calves. I measured mine (for the first time, actually) and they're just under 13". The shaft on the 8 feels like the perfect fit; it lightly "hugs" but I can still slide my thumbs down each side with ample wiggle room. So, those who said the B width may not work for calves over 15" are probably spot-on in suggesting the wider width. - I had no trouble at all sliding my foot into the 8 or the 8.5 and didn't need to tug on the straps; I was able to pull them on by grabbing the top of the boot on either side. But, please do note that these have no zipper and that others had issues with the pull-on style. - Also, as others noted, it appears these are not pristine and untried. I got these for nearly HALF the stated retail price, so I expected these to be factory seconds OR floor/show models OR retail returns OR some combination of those factors. One pair arrived in the original box with half the original packing missing and barely scuffed soles. The other pair arrived with no original packing, loose in an Amazon shipping box, with more scuffing on the soles. Honestly, the condition didn't bother me on either pair - the condition was still better than I was expecting based on some of the reviews, and I was quite happy to enjoy the savings! I hope this review is helpful. I'll update it once I've made a final decision and have worn them a bit more.

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.
