I received the boots only to find that the zipper on the left boot would not go down all the way. It is a very difficult zipper even when it does work. I returned them after I called Zappos to let them know of this defect. They were out of stock so I didn't receive a replacement. I reordered a week later and again zipper did not work on the left boot. Could this be the same pair that I ordered a week prior? Also they are very tight around the calf and I have average size calfs. I did order on Amazon when Zappos was out of stock and again the zippers were very difficult to work. I feel that Frye needs to re-look at this product zipper since the price point is very high for this kind of issue.

These are cute boots. They looked good on, but they arrived damaged. Thanks Zappos for the free/easy return.

Great boots! They will be perfect with dresses, leggings or skinny jeans. They have a very nice shape, and they are not slouchy, but at the same time also not really tight. Love them. The only thing I have to mention is that I ordered both black colors: stone antiqued and soft vintage, and they looked almost exactly the same. I definitely did not see the difference as on the pictures. I ordered half size down, since I noticed most of the Frye boots run large. I'm glad I did. The size fits perfect!

These boots were gorgeous! Unfortunately, they were a little too snug around my calf and created a "muffin top" type look on my calf (and that was only with tights...didn't try them with jeans because I knew they wouldn't fit). I'm 5'6 and wear a clothing size 8. While I have slightly athletic calves, I've never had a big problem getting boots to fit. Zappos is wonderful and I'm now trying another pair of Frye's.

These are great boots! At first, I was a little skeptical of the zipper in the back, but if you flex your foot up a little when zipping, there's never a problem... it straightens out the zipper! I love these. They are nice and sung around the calf, but not too tight. They work great over jeans or with a dress.

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 the style of this boots; however, the zipper is impossible! The boots are at least one size smaller, and I would not risk to order these boots again until they get better zipper function!

I have purchases many shoes and boots from Zappos over the years, I have never written a review before. These boots are the cutest ones I have seen in a long time. I bought the Cognac Stone Antiqued, they are gorgeous. I always buy boots in size 8 1/2, I go 8-8 1/2 in shoes. They fit so well, I love the flat heel, they are fab. If I had the money, I would buy more colors. Love.

I've been looking for this boot for a long time. Luv em. I got the black antique style. They fit like a glove and were comfortable right out of the box. I was concerned about the zippers. They are a bit tough to zip, but have gotten easier the more I wear them. They look so good with tights and skirts. They were pricey, but worth it for me. I have already worn more than all my cheaper boots put together.

Love these! I got them in black and brown. Had no problems at all with zipper and felt true to size. I'm 8 1/2 and they fit and feel great! Very comfortable right out of the box! I love them with my skirts and jeans! Room enough to tuck jeans too. Love the flatter heel for a change! Worth every cent! :)

First of all, Frye is the best. They have been making quality leather goods for many years. They set the standard. These boots are soft on the top, roomy in the calf, and the styling gives them just that bit of edge to make them special. They're great for every day and casual events.

I have ordered 4 pr so far, in 2 diff sizes of the black stone antique. While I love the look of this boot and want to keep them, I am thinking I would like to have a pair that look a bit less worn and perhaps darker in color, but does any one know if the black vintage color looks any darker or not? While I absolutely love the look, I will say some of the zippers haven't functioned properly like others have mentioned. Still, I am thinking I will get them anyway.

I got these in black antique and they look almost gray. So cool. Very tall biker chic-ish. I have 3 pairs of Frye and these are my faves by far! Yes, the zipper is hard but it gets easier. These look great with skirts, very sundance catalog. The only issue is black dye came off my fingers. Rubbed them with a towel to get excess dye off.

I have bought and returned 4 pairs of other Frye boots cause they were no good. These are the greatest boots I have ever owned. They fit my calves perfect. They were the right amount of Vintage worn look and they are very comfortable! I bought the dark brown and the finish is perfect!

I ordered the antiqued pair and I love that they look like I've already worn them many times! They aren't comfortable at first, obviously because they've never been worn, but once you wear them in they are just fine. The zipper seemed a bit touchy but got better as I wore them more and it is not a huge problem. For anyone who is looking for a boot with not much heel this is it, I'm not fond of heels and this has just the right sole and very little heel!

I really wanted to keep these boots but they were too tight in the calves. I could zip them up over skinny jeans but barely. The zipper was also very hard to get started, regardless of whether your foot was in the boot or not. Also the insert flap on both boots came up as you took your foot out (like it wasn't glued or sewn down) which was not a sign of good workmanship. The boots were very comfortable otherwise, although a little shorter than they looked in the pictures/videos. I wish they'd have fit better but don't think they'd have stretched enough through wear to make them what I was looking for. Also the heel was pretty slick, I slipped a couple of times walking on my wood floors. I'm returning them and hoping to find the right pair of Frye boots at some point. Thanks to Zappos for a great shopping experience, as usual.

I had the same problem as another customer--the zipper on the left boot wouldn't completely unzip and I was unable to get my foot in the boot. The right boot fit perfectly, but since my left foot is slightly bigger, this was a deal breaker. For the price, these boots should be problem-free from the start.

I bought these boots directly from Frye and they are absolutely beautiful. As other people have noted, it's a bit of a struggle to zip them up initially but I've had them for a couple of weeks and they are a lot easier to zip up now. They have a very snug fit around the calf, which I like. I ordered the black and they are not distressed at all...just really soft and supple. I'm 5'2 and the shaft hits below the knee. All in all, a fantastic-looking, great-fitting, quality boot.

The best boots ever! I hesitated to buy these due to cost but then caved because I didn't want to miss out, and I am so glad I did! Love these boots. I normally wear an 8.5-9 and the 8.5 fit perfect and pose no problems for my wide feet and bunion. The leather is amazing, the boots shaft is straight with no slouch (which I love), and no problems with the zipper. If you're on the fence about buying these boots, do no hesitate!

I love these boots! I was a little worried after reading comments about the zippers sticking. They were difficult to zip where the ankle strap is quickly resolved after a couple zips, the other still sticks occasionally. It is not enough to turn me off to them as they are so comfortable. I wear them all the time.
