Great basic - I have wide calves so I am always looking for good short but everyday boots. These fit my bill. I am so glad to find them and hope to get them in black too. Short and comfortable for all day wear, but gives that pulled together look. Thanks Frye! I can even add my orthotics.

This a great boot! I'm really happy with my new my Dorado Frye boots, although I found they ran 1/2 size large. Thankfully, however, Zappos makes returns so easy this wasn't too much of a problem. They're very cute and totally recommend them!

A must for skinny jeans wearers! I have been hunting for great booties for a year. Not cheap ones, just great ones! I love these boots and the Frye quality means they will last forever. The brown is gorgeous so I got that, too. These fit like cowboy boots, so I ordered a half size smaller and they were perfect. Thanks for the free shipping so I could try on two sizes...

Dorado Short - The length seemed pretty true to size, but the heel runs very wide on Frye boots. I found that I could keep my heel from slipping out of the boot by having the strap at the ankle shortened. Otherwise the boot is comfortable and the look is great.

Beautifully perfect boot! Although quite expensive, this is worth the money. It’s a boot that seems like it will last many years. The leather is incredibly soft, the look is awesome and the fit is great! It was a little loose in the heel at first, but most boots do this at first until you wear them awhile. If you want to feel good about yourself, get this boot, you won't be sorry! If they were on sale, I'd get another pair!!!! The opening at the leg is quite roomy as it does NOT hug the leg, it’s baggy a bit and you could even put your pants inside (although I wouldn't) but just such a comfy boot! Great with a skirt too, probably because of the roomy loose fit.

Frye Dorado Short - I am having such a problem with these boots. I fell in love with them immediately because they are beautiful. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 so I ordered a 7.5 in these and the heel slipped a lot and I just thought they looked big overall. So I got the 7 (thanks Zappos for e-mailing when my size came in!) and they felt a little snug but I figured they would stretch. Anyway, I wore them out today for the first time and after about an hour I literally had to buy a pair of flip flops to finish the day because the back of my heels hurt so much! The shoes are very stiff! So I just took them to a shoemaker who said he would soften the heel and stretch them for me. I really hope it works because they are fabulous looking boots. The brown is beautiful. If anyone has advice for me, let me know. I will not return them because I love them too much.

So Cute - I felt these boots fit true to size; however, the heel is a problem. The heels slip constantly; I used a heel insert and used the strap to tighten more putting an extra hole in it. I think a lot of it is I have very small ankles. However, they are great boots and love the look, and you can't beat the quality of them.

Love these boots - Okay, so these aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world. Like others have said, the heel is definitely loose and when I walk my heel does come up (like a flip flop). However, they are so unbelievably cute, so I don't mind. I ordered down half a size like some suggested, but they were too small. I bought my regular shoe size and they fit perfect, and thanks to Zappos great service, they overnighted everything for free! I'm definitely happy with the service and the boots.

Hate to send them back - The boot is beautiful as is the workmanship. I just wish they weren't so big in the heel. I have a fairly normal foot size and usually wear a Medium width. The heel is just so big that even with two pairs of socks, when I walk, my heel comes up and almost out of the boot. It is so loose that I can take it off without undoing the buckle. I would love to have this boot and would even order it in black as well if it fit properly. Maybe Frye will work on that for next season.

Come on home little doggies... Had a pair of tall Frye boots in college in the 70s. Loved them although with me having a wide foot & wide calves, I suffered a bit but looked great. Now, I'm older and wiser, but still lust for Frye boots. When I saw these shorties I had to get them. Also, now that I'm not a cattle rancher or never was I really don't have a need for "cowboy stitching" so this style fits me. Not sure why Frye people don't think wide feet women have money to spend on their shoes/boots, but I guess it's their loss not to offer wide sizes. With a shoe stretcher, I got the boot to fit just perfectly and with use, I look forward to them molding to my feet like a wonderful loving hug. As Nancy Sinatra always said, "These feet were made for walking and that's just what I'll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!"

Fab boots! Love, love, love these boots! They are beautiful and great looking. I have a real problem with boots since I have big legs, but these fit perfectly and look great. I wear them with pants and long skirts. I wish they had a little padding in the sole, but that's easily fixed with inserts. The heels are very loose as others have mentioned, but once I got used to it, I stopped noticing. They are expensive, but I don't regret one penny. I'd love to get another pair.

Sized a bit small - I had Frye boots in the past, but this is my first boot purchase in many years. These were just too cute and I just love leather soles. Many folks have commented on the size. I'm a typical 7.5-8.0 size so I tried the 7.5 first. The toe is fairly pointy so the 7.5 really pinched. The 8's fit much better. The heels are loose but if you are used to wearing loose heels (e.g. Dansko clogs) then it probably won't seem so odd.
