Don't let the high price tag scare you away from purchasing this beautiful pair of boots. The quality and craftsmanship is unbeatable. You will have these boots for a lifetime. I purchased the bordeaux color and couldn't be happier. It's a rich, beautiful wine/brown leather without screaming "here I come in my red boots." A truly neutral, luxurious shade that looks great with black gray or brown. I especially love them over a pair of dark washed jeans. The elastic gusset is fairly hidden and allows enough stretch to wear over tights, leggings or jeans. My calves are medium - athletic, but they would also fit thin calves. The leather is heavy and thick enough to stand up on their own. The square toe is the same as my favorite Frye harness boots, but the heel and shaft is a bit more riding boot style. The perfect, timeless mix. I'm 5'8" tall and the boots come to just below my knee. As with all Frye boots, they take a bit of breaking in time, but it's well worth it. Frye boots are a true investment, I'll be wearing these for years.

Love these boots! I have owned a pair of Frye boots (Campus zip) for 10 years and they still look great. My only regret has been that they are too short to wear with skirts, so I finally decided to buy another pair of Frye's. I expect I will still be wearing these in 10 years, so they are worth the investment. They have the same sturdy construction as my Campus boots. The leather is not soft, so they don't collapse at the ankle even though they are not tight. These boots are tall; I am 5'9", and they come right to the bend of my knees. Also, I think they run narrow. My feet are a little narrow and I ordered my usual size 9 and they fit perfectly with thin socks. If your feet are wider, ordering up a half-size would probably take care of it.

These are impossible to get on! And I have super skinny legs too! Neither me or any of my roommates could get out feet all the way into them. I guess with leather you really have to break them in, but I don't have the patience. They should fit right the first time. So cute though.

I don't understand the review below. I have pretty muscular, athletic calves and the boots went on just fine without any trouble. I didn't even have to use the straps to get them on; my feet just go in. In general, these are great boots. The shaft is a little unusual and kind of has a Hunter rain boot feel. But the leather isn't slouchy (just as I wanted) and is softer than it looks in the picture. I got these boots in cognac which looks great with everything. I've only worn them once so far and my day started off fine, but my feet were in a bit of pain by the end of the day -- likely because the toe box is a bit narrow. Overall, though, I'm happy with my purchase. I have flat feet that can't bear really hard soles, and the soles of these boots were surprisingly comfortable. There was way more give than I anticipated. I bought a 9 and they feel true to size -- even though one of my feet is 1/2 size bigger than the other.

I'm 5'5" and these boots were too tall on me - they go all the way up to my knee and it looks awkward on. Other than that, the boots are great leather, light (contrasting with the campus harness boots which I have and are very heavy) and comfy. Too bad, wish they were a bit shorter!

The typical worry with high boots is if they will fit your calf. My calves are pretty big, usually tight with knee-high boots, but fit perfectly in these boots! The grey-brown is more brown than grey, but they are super gorgeous.
