I was so disappointed! These boots are gorgeous and just what I have been looking for, but I can't get them on! If you have a high arch don't try these; you can't slip your foot in the heel of the boot! Too bad they don't have a zipper, although the way they are made I'm not sure the fit for a foot with a high arch would be very good.

I. Love. These. Boots. I got them in tan and I get compliments on them every day. They can be tricky to get on, they only work with skirts/dresses or skinny pants but they\'re gorgeous and comfortable. When I\'m going to be on my feet all day I put a gel insole in, but they\'re still quite comfortable without it.

These may be expensive boots, but they are by far the best shoe purchase I have ever made. I know they are excellent quality and will last me a very long time. I got these in Red Brown and they are beautiful. I get so many compliments on them! They are definitely worth the money. They also look like they're high-quality leather boots. There are some leather boots that just look cheap or poorly made, but these are incredible. They look like the high-quality boots they are. I'd recommend these to anyone.

Nice, but not for wide calf - Ok, I have 15.5" calves and don't know how they got their circumference measurements on these. It doesn't help that these are pull ons either, which just made the whole thing more difficult. But the construction is solid and the look is great.

A beautiful comfortable boot. This is a timeless style that works with both dresses and skinny jeans. I wear a 9-9 1/2 and have a 15 1/2 inch calf. I have these in a 9 and there's still room for a small orthotic to enhance the cushioning and arch support. They fit my calves comfortably with room for normal weight socks and skinny jeans and still a little room to spare. They are not overly tall, and stop about two inches short of my knee on my 5'4'' frame. I have noticed it can take a little effort to get my heel in the boot; however, this is fairly common with pull-on boot styles. As a plus, once your heel is in, it does not slip, unlike the very similar Frye Dorado riding boot. The black leather is not quite as luscious as the other colors are reported to be in the reviews; it's a little more stiff, but I have noticed this effect with shoes as well as bags. It must have something to do with how the leather is treated. (I have been very torn between these and the similar Frye Dorado boots; the Dorado are slightly prettier and more expensive but less comfortable, in my opinion. I may, however, still splurge on the Dorado in a different color.) Overall, a very beautiful, comfortable and versatile boot that I plan to wear for years.

The wide flappy part at the very top is too piratey. I thought it looked silly. Foot is okay, but not amazingly supportive or anything. And the little buckles just didn't look that good on.

These boots are smart looking, great with leggings. They are extremely comfortable, no worry about breaking them in. I loved them so much I now have a second pair.

Love these boots! I debated about the money I was spending on these but they will be worn for years to come. Absolutely some of the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. The leather is so soft! Also, my calves are a little wider and they fit perfectly. I can wear them with or without pants.

I love these boots! I bought the 8 1/2 at first, which is generally my size, but I had to return it for the size 8 because my heel slipped really bad in the larger size. The 8 is great - still a little heel slippage, but doable (might be my foot shape). I have never considered myself to have small calves, but I have plenty, plenty of room in these boots. Can wear with jeans tucked in no problem. I am wearing them with the cuff up, not down, and they come to my low knee. I’ve gotten lots of compliments and am very happy with my first pair of Fryes! They aren’t the most comfortable shoes ever (I live in TOMS!), but pretty good.

I have owned these boots for about five months and really liked them up until last week when I realized a hole had worn into the bottom of one. I do live in New York and walk quite a bit. However, there is no reason why boots that are this expensive, made by a company known for producing quality footwear, should wear out after such a short period of time. Also, be aware that if you have high arches, these boots can be difficult to pull on and off. Overall, very disappointing.

These boots are worth every cent. I finally have a pair of knee high boots that my calves fit into comfortably and are incredibly comfortable to walk in.
