These are exactly what I wanted. They look just like they do in the pictures. They are true to size and feel great on first wear. They are not as dainty as other women's oxfords but I wouldn't describe them as clunky, either. They are beautifully crafted, solid shoes. Love them!

I love this shoe! Looks so stylish. No other oxford has as much unique personality. At first, I was worried about comfort, because the leather is so stiff. However, after wearing for a couple of hours, they feel great! I just wish Zappos carried other colors, because I'd like a pair in black, too.

These are just like men's wingtips, but not quite as bulky. They are very comfortable right out of the box, and are clearly very well made. I would highly recommend them, but they do run just a bit large.

Shoes are gorgeous. They do have a very "worn" in look. Well made. I'm an 8 to an 8 1/2. The 8 in these was VERY big. If you have the same sizing issues, I'd go another 1/2 size smaller. I did return them, they weren't quite as polished as I was looking for, but they are nice!

Excellent quality, unique wingtip. I liked this shoe as a comfortable option with work trousers. It has comfortable padding in the footbed, and no spots that rub on my foot. I wear a size 10, and found that these run a half size large. I also have the Frye Erin Oxford, and would add that with a cap toe, the Erin makes my foot look shorter than the James. I was sad to return these, because my size is not available. They have a timeless look, and would last years. I hope they are available next season in more colors.

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 shoes- However, they are slippery - hard leather soles (I've slipped twice now...) they run half a size big. Otherwise, gorgeous.

Okay, I've shopped all spring for wingtips and sent numerous pairs back that didn't meet my expectations. Including a pair from the Vintage Company. These are what oxfords are supposed to be: authentic old style cool. They are not some cheap patched together variation of an oxford these are the real deal and I love them! For what it's worth I also bought the Erin Oxford in Grey. I will wear with skirts jeans shorts etc...true love! FYI, as with all of my Frye's I am a full size smaller.

The James Wingtip is a solid crafted shoe with style. I decided to go with my normal size 6 1/2 and was glad I did. It's true to size and not clunky, meaning, it looks like a heavy shoe but, it isn't. In fact, I wore them all day, no break-in time required. Very comfortable from the outside. Frye is my new best friend.
Brands I'd also recommend: think, camper, giraudon

Amazing shoes! I am a reformed sneakers-with-everything wearer. These felt tight when I first put them on. I almost sent these back, and I'm so glad I didn't. After applying a bit of rubbing alcohol to the insides of the shoes at tight spots and wearing around the house a few hours, they were perfect! In fact these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I checked these out on the Frye website and found that the James Wingtip is also available in black and burnt red. I hope that Zappos will stock more colors before I'm forced to purchase my next pair elsewhere. Also reccommended: Frye Erin Oxford.

These are very beautiful shoes however, they run very narrow and long in the toe. I wear a size 7m but these shoes were to long and a bit snug so I ordered size 6.5 but they were way too tight. What a shame that I must return them.

Yes, these really are as awesome as everyone says. I usually wear between a 7.5 and an 8, so I ordered the 7.5 and they fit perfectly. These do require a little breaking in, but they are good quality shoes. The black ones I ordered have an interesting dusty look (what we used to call "distressed" about jeans back in the '90s). I haven't worn them all day at work yet, but so far I'm pretty happy with them.

I loved the looks of this shoe, but it was too big and too wide. When I opened the box, I thought they had sent a Man's size 7 by mistake!

I was really surprised by how tight these were across the top of the foot. They fit nicely in the toes (even a bit big), but long in the front for sure. I know they would loosen up nicely since they're Frye and excellent quality, but I'm sending them back because the style is just a touch too masculine. I ordered the brown bush off and it's not nearly as red as it looks on my computer screen. Beautiful shoe as usual for Frye, and Zappos is, as always, wonderful!

Okay, I don't think the quality of service and customer care that Zappos offers can be overstated. Zappos is amazing. That being said, this purchase was another winner for me. After reading the reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size smaller, which was a mistake. For me, this shoe runs true to size. I wear a size 9 and the shoes fit like a size 9. And speaking of the shoes, they are fabulous! I have worn with cuffed jeans and shorts and I can't wait for cold weather to wear with skirts and tights. These shoes are incredibly comfortable and surprisingly lightweight. Great investment as I will have for years to come.

These shoes are ultra cool. They are serious black wingtips with a vintage vibe. They are very substantial shoes with serious quality so you can count on wearing them for years to come, and they are a classic, too.

I love these shoes. So comfortable from the start. I mean really cushioned, surprisingly. I got the brown pair, size 8.5. Fit like a glove - perfect. I wear them with jeans and love the look and Zappos.

These are amazing shoes. I ordered half a size down, but they are still too big. I would love to get this in a 6½, but they are out of stock. Hopefully they will come back so I could get these.

Great shoe, fun to wear. Looks great with jeans or khakis. As with most Frye shoes it was pretty comfy right away. Wore them all day at work the first day I got them.

In love with this shoe. I have been searching for a woman's wingtip that wasn't all feminized (beyond the necessary narrowing, etc.), and this is the one! Felt great right out of the box; I was expecting to have to break them in but not the case. Have received lots of comments and amazement that they're built for women yet look as sharp as the mans version.

Fun and comfortable shoes. I bought a half size smaller as recommended. The fit is good. The break-in time was short, felt great after walking from the car into the office. Don't forget to scuff up the leather soles.
