These are my most favorite boots in the world. I have other Fryes and I love the quality. I saw the Paige Talls and intended on getting them. But then I saw these. I snatched them immediately and I am so thankful I did because there are only teensy sizes left. I wear a 9 but get my Fryes in 9½ so I can wear my thicker wool socks. These boots, in particular, are exceptionally comfortable. The sole is not cushioned but is remarkably easy wearing for hours of walking. I am a runner and was concerned about the snugness around my calves but these boots hug them. My skinny jeans slide right into the shaft and do not get hung up when I sit/stand. I just love them. I got the Vintage Cognac, which is a gorgeous tobacco color. There was bloom all over the boots when I got them and I have since buffed it off and the color is rich and perfect for fall. I highly recommend these boots.

Zappos said that they have one in stock. I ordered it and then Zappos said that they have zero in stock. Then I go back to the site five minutes later and it still says they have one in stock. Come on, Zappos, get your act together! You are wasting my time!

Frye boots are wonderful, and these were a great addition to my wardrobe. The sizing for me was a bit smaller than my other Frye's; I had to go up a 1/2 size, but then they were perfect. The fit is comfortable. The distressed, vintage leather is exactly what I was hoping for. They have a beautiful, high-quality look and feel. Originally I ordered both colors that were available to compare, and honestly they were indistinguishable from each other, and I kept the Cognac because it seemed a little darker.

I bought these boots for my daughter and she LOVED them. She is 5’6” and the height of the shaft was perfect for her calves. She is able to tuck her jeans inside or wear them under her boot cut jeans. The picture doesn't even begin to showcase how beautiful these boots are. I am so in love that I may have to buy a pair for myself. They are breathtaking.

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 just had to write a review for these boots... they are really incredible! I was looking for the perfect pair of flat black boots for the season (I think I tried about 8 different pairs) and these fit the bill perfectly. Not too casual, not to dressy, and very comfortable. They are taller than a lot of other boots - I am 5'3" and they hit just below my knee. I just love everything about them... and Zappos too! Great customer service, as always.

Beware!. Circumference is 14 inches not 15 inches. The boot top does not fold over as the description says, and the shaft is very tall. The boot is beautifully made for very skinny calves on tall people. I am 5'3 but my calf is a 15 inches and these do not fit well.

Beautiful boot, but couldn't get them on. I have another Frye slip-on in a size 9, so I ordered the same in this boot, but I'm going to have to go with a 9 1/2 because I couldn't get my foot into them.

These boots are absolutely gorgeous. They are worth the money. The only bad things about them is that they are a tiny bit stiff and difficult to get on. Otherwise, they're great.

Lovely boot - but, absolutely impossible to get on! I have kind of high arches and could not get my foot in the boot! They need a side zip for easier entry. Leather and style is great but, I have to send them back (and I do not think even a larger size would work either).

This is a gorgeous boot but it is definitely grey, not black. It's very tall, size 11 would hit right underneath my kneecap, and I'm 6' tall. I have a high instep and can't get my foot in so it's going back.

Love these boots! I struggle to find boots that don't swim around my thin calves (under 14") and these do the trick - still a little room with my skinnies on but not swimming. I was concerned about putting them on/taking them off based on my experience with the Frye Harness boot (my hubby has to pull them off so can't wear them if he's not going to be around that night). I was very pleasantly surprised at how very easy it was to put them on/take them off - slipped right on/off. The color is not as black as I was hoping for but they will still go with a ton of stuff. A keeper!

I have debated whether or not I should return these for a week now and think I will be returning them. They are exceptionally well-made, but there are some problems. The leather is stiff at the top and hits right below my knee (5'3 ). This causes any pants I try tucking in to bunch up and is also kind of uncomfortable (imagine something digging in right below your knee). I'm aware that with time the leather will get softer and will stretch causing this issue to fade, but I don't feel like wearing only tights with these boots till that time. Also, the color is NOT "antique black," it is most definitely a dark gray with a hint of black. The color was the most disappointing factor for me. As others have mentioned, my boots arrived with a thick chalk-like dust covering them. My first instinct was to immediately send them back, but after way too much elbow grease for the price of these pair of boots I was able to rub off most of this strange finish. Still, they are not black, don't look right with jeans/pants tucked in (yet), and are insanely difficult to get off. I have other Fryes, but these are way harder to get off. They are truly beautiful and if you like grayish-black then go for it!

Super cute boots. I have received lots o' compliments. Leather is a bit stiff and it is taking time to break in. Little tight in the toe box. Ouch. Love the distressed color. Super beautiful leather. Nice comfortable heel height. Will wear these forever and ever.

These boots are great! They fit true to size. The color is really nice and unique. I had to get them stretched out just a little to fit around my calves. The more I wear them, the more comfortable they are. Love!

These boots are so beautiful but they just didn't work for me. They are super stiff and they seemed a little gappy at the ankle. I wanted them to fit because they are a really cool boot. The search continues.

I love these boots! I have a bad back and I can wear them all day long. I can wear them dressed up or dress down. One of the best purchases on Zappos!

Love, love, love! I have these in Cognac - the colour is fabulously rich and deep. Also bought the Antique black, but returned because the colour is more like faded black and doesn't look good if paired with black clothing. I'm 5'8, calf 14.5, size 8.5 (8.5 fits true to size, same as all my other Frye boots). As a point of comparison, I also have the Paige Tall boots in Grey. These fit perfectly around the calf and they hit right below my knee. The overall fit is snug (calf, ankle and narrower foot) compared to the Paige's and they're ~1 inch taller. Need the pull tabs to get on, whereas I can just slide into the Paige's. Super comfortable all around, no breaking in required. I wear these with a variety of black dresses and hoodies - easy uniform. As always, Zappos makes the shopping experience ridiculously enjoyable. Oh, and the compliments I get aren't hard to receive either. Yay all around!
