These boots are crafted extremely well. Be warned: There is a "break-in" period, and you may have to get some insoles, along with some tall socks if these are your first pair of boots. You will need them, especially if you generate a lot of body heat like I do. I ended up getting some Thorlos socks that Zappos does not carry that allow for more ventilation. There was no heel support, which was disappointing and sometimes painful when I'm on my feet for an extended period of time. The boot itself is extremely well-crafted, and I can't thank Zappos enough for being fast and great.

Great looking and feeling boot. High quality USA made. I have a narrow foot with higher arch. It doesn't fit as snug as I'd like, but still very comfortable and not broken in. I'd even go to the 8.5's when I should wear a 10 or 9.5 in regular shoe.

This was my first encounter with buying shoes without seeing them and trying them on prior to buying. I thought it would be a huge hassle. The first pair of boots I ordered didn't fit and I didn't like the color. The return was really easy. Then I talked to a customer service rep that helped me order a different color and size that I got in two days. Perfect fit and look. As for the boots, I love them. I suggest ordering one size smaller than you normally wear especially if you have a narrower foot. I highly recommend both the Frye boots and getting them from Zappos.

I purchased these boots (in a different color) for a friend as a gift. They were of such good quality that I wanted a pair, too. I bought the vintage/distressed chocolate for myself and couldn't be happier. The boots are very comfortable out of the box. The only thing about their styling that is new to me is that the upper diameter is smaller that expected. I don't have a very large calf, but they were snug at first. They have since worn in fine. I like the squared off heel better than most engineer boots. Also, the sole is very thick and well-made. One of the reasons that I chose the Frye boots is that they are still made in the USA. Awesome boot and will buy more!

These boots have thus far proven to be a worthy investment. After a standard boot break in period, they feel as comfortable as anything. I fully expect them to last for many years to come, as I have seen this happen with a friends boots from the same brand; it’s going on about 7 years now and they are in immaculate condition. The grip on the bottom of the sole surprised me, as previous boots (cowboy style, not work or hiking boots) did not have much to offer here. These boots were just the opposite. Also, the rubber portion of the heel is about twice as thick as in other boots I own, meaning that unless it becomes a comfort issue, I will have a tremendous amount of time before I need to have this part of the heel replaced.

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 ordered my sneaker size 10.5, they arrived a few days later. Felt just a bit too sloppy around the heel. Zappos offered to ship a size 10 pair next day (!) to see if they would fit any better. They did, but they seemed a bit too narrow in the toe. I ended up keeping the 10.5's but I did add some cushioned soles to fill in the extra space. They look and feel great. Thanks, Zappos!

I purchased these boots for my 27 year old son. He's picky about his feet and shoes, how they fit and how they look. He opened the boots, put them on and didn't take them off. Literally. He came down Christmas evening in his boxer briefs and boots with drink in hand. Reminded me of Pierce Brosnan. I think they just might be his most favorite footwear of all time. He loves them. Says they are true to length and a tad bit wider than usual. And Zappos? The greatest of all time. Won't buy shoes anywhere else. Ever. Happy New Year!

These boots are the real deal. In so many ways. I will begin by saying they require a break in period. What good things don't? About fifteen all day wearings, with a day off here and there for good behavior. They feel good. Real good. All day long good. But let's face it, these are boots, and it's about how they make you feel, right? I'm a forty-six year old guy, and I haven't walked so tall since my last pair of Frye boots twenty-eight years ago. I'm not about stylin' but these boots are stylin'. My wife loves them. I've had half a dozen women comment on them. When's the last time that happened to you?
Brands I'd also recommend: For a sweet contrast, the Uggs slippers are insane.

I love these boots. They're comfortable, keep me warm when riding, and the best part my girlfriend thinks they look hot. They run true to size. Only complaint is the left one is a little difficult to get on but this may just need to get broken in.

These look great and fit true to size. My husband wears a 10.5 and the 10.5 was the perfect fit. They stretch a little after wearing around. And can't say enough about Zappos' excellent customer service.

Always trust Frye. This is my 4th pair. Outstanding quality and durability. I usually wear a 12, with FRYE I go 13, they seem to be cut small for their size. Zappos of course rules. Quickly becoming my 'goto' for all fashion. They surprised me by overnighting my boots. I had no idea, I mentioned to the phone lady I was going to an event and should have ordered earlier. I really love Zappos. I miss the long gone days of excellent customer service. Zappos never tells me 'no'. I wish Best Buy and most other vendors would take a lesson.
Brands I'd also recommend: Quality, none. Style, I dig some of the Harley Davidson boots.

These boots are absolutely beautiful and very well made, but I did have some sizing issues with them. I wear a 9.5 D in regular (oxford style) shoes, but I have tall arches, so I tend to order my running shoes in a 9.5 W and my pull on boots in a 10 D. However, these boots in a 10 were still a bit small. I had to order the 10.5 before they fit properly.

I love my boots. I originally purchased my actual size then did have to return them because they were 1/2 size too large. Zappos was so accommodating with the exchange. They have awesome customer service! The boots are great. They look great and are comfortable, although a bit hard to get on at first. My husband got the exact same ones in guys. He loves his, too! There is quality all the way. We are happy customers!
