These are excellent boots, even though it says made in China. I have returned the size 9, my usual size, and replaced them with an 8.5 which fit perfectly. They are rugged enough to last until the next ice age.

This is the third pair of Frye boots I have owned, and like the other two, they are outstanding. This boot is beautifully constructed and a great fit. There is ample toe room in the forefoot, something often not found in boots. The heel snugs up like a glove, so there is no rubbing right out of the box. The uppers are fairly thick leather, yet quite supple. I typically lace up all but the very top set of hooks, and they are as comfortable as oxfords even so. The footbed has a form-molding foam beneath the insole, and it provides a surprisingly soft feel under the feet, despite the fact that the boot is very supportive. I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned that the heel is somewhat stiffer, yet I have not found it troublesome. I have walked a good distance in these boots in the past month, sometimes up to two miles at a time, and easily find them to be as comfortable as any other shoes I own. All in all, a great buy and a most satisfactory product.

Nice looking boot, but a little too big (a half size bigger than posted). After wearing them for a week, the stitching came apart. I don't recommend this boot.

These boots are great. They are true to size. They break in easily. They have nice, soft leather. Highly recommend!

These are great boots, no winter snow boot but other than that they fit well, are well made. I ordered a size smaller than I normally wear in a shoe.

Very comfortable boot! As always Zappos offers the best customer service around. Always ships ahead of schedule without added cost for expedited delivery.

Great boot! Super comfort. I am in mine for up to 12 hours a day and never a problem.

Overall this a great pair of boots. But when I first got them the backs were a little stiff and dug into the backs of my calves a bit. I found that not lacing the last two sets of eyelets helped with this. I've had them for about a month now and the ankle sections seemed to have softened up and are more comfortable. Other than that aspect they're very comfortable.

I bought these as a snow and mud boot, and they have excelled. Heavy wool socks fit nicely in my size, but thin socks I would have to size down. Leather molds to my feet after a few weeks of steady use, and they are warm and comfortable. Lugged sole is great for hiking. True work boots.

These are great. They kept my feet warm and dry this winter and they have good traction in snow.

I think these boots are great. Took me about two days to break them in and after that they feel very comfortable. They might be a tiny bit heavy but they also feel very rugged and protect well from elements. The inside of the boot has a soft insole which keeps feet comfortable the whole day plus it seems like it absorbs moisture pretty well. I am very happy with this purchase.

These are great boots from a great company. Also thank you Zappos for upgrading the shipping. I received them next day from when I placed the order. The boots are rugged, well built, everything a "boot" should be. Thanks.

Great looking and super comfortable right out of the box. Very high grade pebbled leather gives these rugged boots a subtle hint of high class. There's almost no break-in time, which is rare for a high leather boot. And after a couple months of wear they're really holding up well. Quality construction. Great boots.

The boots run very large. My husband normally buys 9.5-10. We went to an 8.5. The boots are great -- really sharp. Thanks Zappos for the wonderful service.

Like all Frye's - a great boot. Great construction. A little stiff but they like all Frye's get better with wear. I am a firm 10, but had to get a 9.5. They do run a bit big. But Zappos handled the exchange like champs. Zappos is the best! Seriously!

Purchased a boot a full size smaller then I normally purchase, as recommended elsewhere. Fit length wise, but boot is very narrow. I must have missed the other review, I was very disappointed to learn these were made in China.

Great shoe and very comfortable, worth every penny. I could wear these the entire day, and they don't hurt my feet. This boot is for casual and normal wear. Having worked in a warehouse before, where shoes take a beating, I wouldn't say it's a per se warehouse work boot, although it feels tough. I had the luxury of trying a different color on in a local store first before buying the color I wanted online. I would have bought them from the store to support local business; however, it would take the store a couple of weeks to get the ones I wanted whereas I received them in 2 days from Zappos.

I bought these shoes for my 18 year old son. He likes them a lot. He says they fit well and perhaps run a bit larger but not uncomfortably so. He likes them because they go with everything, chinos, jeans, etc. The color is very rich, and although the boot is rugged, it has a classy shape and clean lines. The quality is exceptional, not surprising for Frye. Assuming he is done growing, I'm sure he will have this boot for a long time. Overall, we are very satisfied with the boot, and of course, Zappos never disappoints!
