Very nice boot. Slim looking, beautiful leather, and a comfortable heel height. A little taller than the equally lovely Melissa Button (which created a boot muffin top on me). Paige was muffin top-free.

The most beautiful boots ever. AT FIRST they will be close to impossible to get on and off... but this goes away after a few wears. Very comfortable. You might have a few blisters, too, for the first few wears, but it gets better. So worth it.

I finally decided to buy these boots and I am so happy that I did. I was worried because I am short (5'3), but they come up just below my knee cap. They are the perfect height! I decided to ignore the comments about ordering down a half size. I am a size 8 and ordered a size 8 and they are perfect. I found that putting on thicker socks when I wear tights takes care of any heel slippage. I have thicker calves so I was worried they would be tight, but they are perfect. I have plenty of room for skinny jeans. I also had no problem getting them on and off. These are definitely my favorite boots and I have been wearing them constantly. I can't wait to order some other colors!

I bought these January 2010 and had a love-hate-love relationship with them. I'm 5' tall, 120 lbs, with a 14.5" calf at the largest point. I usually wear a size 4 or 6 in clothes and a 6.5 or 7 shoe. I bought them in a 6.5 in black and they were beautiful from the start. The leather is like butter, there was absolutely no breaking in period and I loved them. But after a while I felt like they were too tall for my frame, they came right under my knees, and then the extra pieces of leather started to flare out making my legs look wider than they actually are. I took them to my shoe guy and he sewed the outer flaps down on the sides which definitely helped, but it didn't solve the problem of the shaft being too tall for me. Plus, I found I couldn't wear them with skinny jeans; I could only wear them over leggings or with tights & a skirt. Being so petite, I could only wear them with a relatively short skirt or else the proportions were all wrong. For the price I really wanted something I could use all the time. So began the hate part (sigh). Now it's November 2010 and I'm back to loving them. The leather has softened even more so they slouch just enough to bring the shaft down about an inch or 2 which is perfect for me. Plus, I can wear them for 13 hours straight without a problem. People have reported the soles are thin and they are, compared to my Campus 14G lug sole boots, but they've held up really well. Overall, I'm happy I kept them.

I absolutely love these boots. I've had so much trouble finding boots that fit me because I have really wide athletic calves (17 inches around the widest part). I'd basically given up on finding tall boots that fit, but fell in love with these ones and figured I'd give them a shot (I heart Zappos shipping policy). I could actually get them on! They are a little big snug with my skinny jeans, but I'm assuming that the leather will stretch a tad as I wear them in. And with leggings or tights they feel just great. I'm normally a size 10, and my feet slip around a little, particularly in the heel area. I'm not sure it's a full half-size larger (I think the 9.5 might be too small for me), but it's definitely roomier than other Frye boots I've tried on. I bought them in Tan, although I was also really tempted by the Grey color. The tan is beautiful; it's sort of rustic looking and very unique. The color is lighter than most boots I've seen, though not quite as light as it looks in the photo. Fantastic boots, I'd definitely recommend them. If you have more slender calves (lucky!) though, you might be swimming in them a little.

I have read almost every review on this boot because I just could not decide what my new Frye boot was going to be for this season. I just got my Zappos box with these and they are GORGEOUS! I ordered the cognac color and it the most beautiful leather... BUT, sigh... sadness, they will be going back. The reviews about the top fanning out are true. I haven't ever given much thought to my ankles but I guess they might be skinnier than I thought because there really is a lot of room at the top of these boots for me. I keep trying them on in hopes that my calves have gotten a wee bit bigger for them to fit, but I just think it's like extra leather. The size for me was good. Although, after wearing them in my house, the heel does seem to have a bit more room and the leather isn't tight against my front calf, like maybe the Frye Chelsea riding boot, my next choice! I also read plenty reviews about the soles being thin, and they are definitely thinner than other Frye's I own. So sad to have to send them back as they are gorgeous but as you know if you're reading this, it has to be just right if your going to invest in a new Frye boot! Love Zappos for their great service and easy returns... onto the next boot!

Really good quality boot. Calf isn't as wide as some have reported, and ankle is kind of bunchy, but it's a good fit overall. I've gotten multiple compliments.

I love these boots! They are beautiful and incredibly comfortable. I have been looking for knee-high black boots for about two years and could never find any locally that weren't made out of plastic, worth the money, or were big enough to fit comfortably around my apparently "large" or "athletic" calves (these are the terms that I have learned over my search). Who knew that my legs were that big? Anyways, these boots fit incredibly comfortably, are knee high, and are gorgeous. I own another pair of Frye boots and can't say enough about how wonderful they are. I could not find these boots locally, so a huge thanks to Zappos for being awesome and helping end my search! If you have been looking for a beautiful pair of black boots, these are the boots for you!

These boots are awesome! So beautiful and definitely worth it. Since I'm on the short side (5'3"), I was a bit concerned they'd be too tall, but they hit in just the right spot below my knee. I decided to order half a size down from my normal size based off of other reviews and they ended up fitting perfectly. If you re waffling about whether or not to get them, go for it. You won t regret it!

I love these boots. I figured I could either buy a pair of $75 boots every year, or spend the money on these that will last forever. They are so well made; the leather is beautiful. At first try-on I thought they were a bit too motorcycle boot-ish but they have loosened up to a softer shape with only 2 or 3 wears. Highly recommend.

I'll have to say that I was really excited when I ordered this shoe, but ultimately disappointed when they arrived. Based on soles and overall condition, it was obvious that these were already worn by someone else who decided they did not want them. The soles were worn and the leather had scuff marks from wear and tear. Great quality, but did not feel they were worth the price. I'm definitely returning these.

I got these for my sister for Xmas, and she loves them! It's the perfect color for those who are stuck between black and brown and these are right in between! She absolutely loves them! Fit her true to size, and calf area was also perfect even for stuffing jeans...it's a probably she tends to have with tall boots.

I love these boots. However, you definitely need to order a 1/2 size down. I always wear an 8 and when I got the 8 they were to big. I returned and got the 7 1/2. The 7 1/2 fit perfectly... and with zapppo's free shipping and returns, it was so easy. Deff recommend these boots to all. Worth the $ and will last forever.

I do not typically on-line shop, but w/ daughter's help found the exact boots she wanted. Full disclosure of time, shipping rates, etc. Then when they arrived, there were some questions and they were handled so quickly and with such helpfulness--I was shocked. Thank you, Zappos, you rock!

These boots are amazing. I ordered the saddle color and it is absolutely gorgeous and feels like butter. I have a larger calf and these fit perfectly, even over jeans (with room to spare!). They are tough to get on at first and you need help getting them off, but with each wear it gets easier. These are absolutely beautiful riding boots and I hope they will last me a long, long time! I would highly recommend them, especially to those looking for a classic, vintage looking riding boot. Even though they are pricey, nothing really compares to a Frye!

These are absolutely amazing shoes! They are a little snug at first, but like all Frye boots they take a bit to work in. They go with everything and are super comfortable. They did not have my usual size, so I went with an 8½ which worked great!

These boots are perfect! They are true to size and have wonderful cushioning; instant comfort from the first wear. I would highly recommend them. Quality boots made from durable leather. Well worth the price. You will have them forever.
