Purchased these boots a few weeks ago. I have very wide feet and I was reluctant to squeeze my foot into a narrow toed boot, but these boots are so gorgeous I am tempted to buy another pair for fear I will never find them when I have finally worn them out. They are fairly flat so no cushion on the sole. Wouldn't want to stand on them all day; however, width was great. Very comfortable and they look expensive and I wear with jeans as I am over the high heel thing at my age - mid 50s. I highly recommend.

Gorgeous boot, but many of the previous reviews are correct, the heel slips badly (deal breaker) and they are much stiffer than they look. I would have loved to have kept them, but they are just not comfortable. Maybe a redesign with softer leather, a snugger fit, and maybe a rubber sole instead of hard leather?

These are absolutely amazing boots! I love the color, texture, everything. They are worth the price. I love Zappos, excellent service, and they came before I expected.

Stylish, well made, and comfortable, though it does not have a padded sole, this boot is great with skinny jeans, legging/legging jeans, and pencil skirts with tights or leggings. Bought it in black antique pull-up and wish I'd bought cognac while it was still available. Arch support isn't important to me (I have high arches), so the lack thereof was no problem. It's worth the price.

About Frye
Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.
The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

I love these. They do slip off the heel as mentioned by others but no danger in them falling off. They are beautiful. Comfortable also, but I wouldn't want to walk really long distances in them. Very versatile for fall with leggings and skinny jeans.

I love these boots! They're super cute and incredibly comfy. And the craftsmanship is really amazing, too. The heel is loose, but I'm almost entirely sure it's supposed to be that way--a Dankso-ish heel that allows for free movement and more normal of a stepping action. I really like the movement and don't find it painful/uncomfortable at all!

These are my second pair of Frye boots. I read the reviews and decided to get my true size which is 7 1/2 they fit good. They do slip off the back but you do get used to it. The leather is soft and durable. I would highly recommend if you like boots. I wear them with my cropped boyfriend jeans and they look great!

Beautiful, comfortable boots right out of the box. The usual butter-soft leather and great craftsmanship. They do fit loosely at the heel, but this is a personal issue – doesn’t bother me because I know they are not going to fall off. And, I wear orthotics, which alters the fit a little. Zappos is the best - I had these on my doorstep practically as I completed the order! Love Fryes! Love Zappos!

I bought the boots for my daughter Katherine, who lives in Chicago. She loves them. The fit is perfect, and the look and feel of the boot is typical Frye stylish and comfortable. She recommends them.

Now that these boots are broken in, I feel a need to update my review below. I live in these boots. On the first few wears, they pinched my toes and the heel slipped uncomfortably (which I complained about in my review below). However, they broke in beautifully after a few wears and I'm so glad I didn't send them back, because they are now the most comfortable shoe in my wardrobe. I will wait to get past the break-in period before posting a shoe review in the future!

The back of the shoe slips off my heel because the shoe is too big. This seems to happen to a lot of people. I bought the heel inserts that go on the back of the shoe, and it helped a tiny bit, but almost not at all. That being said, on my first night out I got complimented on them. They are a very nice boot, but if they fixed the back of the shoe, they would be perfect.

These are great boots! Super cute styling, and fit true to size. Like others said, the heel is loose, just like a Dansko clog, but it\'s not a problem at all, and actually is how boots should fit. The leather and finishing are quality, and the color (the brown) is amazing. I will get a lot of wear out of these, either under jeans, with jeans tucked in, or with skirts/dresses.

Beautiful style and quality; note that the short version fits more true to size than the new tall version, which ran small. A classic that will remain in my wardrobe for years and years!

There is something a little funny about these boots. I wanted them to be the everything-skinny jeans-dress- boot but they don't deliver. Even when I use the smallest buckle setting the leather at the ankle looks off. Bummer.

I love these boots! They're so cute, well made, and very comfortable! The heel does slip, probably even more for my big narrow foot, but you get used to it after a while and it doesn't cause rubbing. I think they are true to size, although the pointed toe might pinch a wide foot.

I. Love. These. Boots. They have paid for themselves in compliments alone. I wear an 8.5 usually, that's the size I got and they fit great. I've had them for two weeks, there was a very minor break-in period and now I'm wearing them without socks! I love, love, love them. I work in food service so it should be a testament to how comfortable they are that I wear them to work all day. I don't find the heel to be an issue; it's loose but it doesn't rub and I personally prefer it. If you are considering them GET THEM! You will not regret it!

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.
