I love the look of this boot but I sadly agree with the other reviewer. I couldn't even pull the boot on! I'm tempted to order a size up. Hmmmm?

Although this boot looks nice, it is impossible to get it on your foot. I couldn't even try it on! I wear a size 7 and I have never had a problem getting a shoe on before. Weird design.

I was so excited to get these... But then I could not get them on! I tried a size larger, in which I still could not even begin to get my foot in! These need a side zipper as I have normal feet! They are made for extremely tiny arches and ankles. That is the only way to get them on.

After reading the feedback on not being able to get the shoe on, I was worried but ordered anyway. I didn't have a problem getting them on and actually had to reorder a half size down (I ended up with a 6). I love the look and they are as comfy as my other Fryes.

I love these boots!!! I ordered them a half size larger and they fit perfectly with thick and thin socks! I had no problem putting them on and I definitely did not want to take them off :)

I bought these boots a couple of weeks ago and have worn them a dozen times. I l love them. I was afraid they would be hard to get on because there were a few reviews that complained about it. I got them in an 8 which is my normal size and had no problem getting them on and found them to be really comfortable. I've worn them with skinny jeans, dresses, and skirts and they look great with everything. Every time I wear them someone comments on how cute they are.

I saw the Frye Shirley Strappy Short boots in black and knew I had to have them. I read the reviews on size and still decided to order my true size… an 8. Very glad I did and yes they are a bit hard trying at first to get on, but the leather does stretch and the fit is dreamy! I can wear these all day! I know I will have these for years and they are a boot I can wear my skinnies in and put under my bootcuts when I wear them... Very versatile and high quality, durable leather. The black rocks! I love them... There is no way these are going back! Ladies go get yourself a pair... You won't regret it... This is my 7th pair of Fryes! An addicting habit I don't mind having.

These boots are, with no doubt, beautiful. And they'll probably never wear out because, I CAN'T GET THEM ON!!!! Shoe horn, thin sock, whatever, I broke a sweat before I actually did get the right foot on and never tried my left because once on, they were too big and slipped up and down on the heel. Boo Hoo, because they were really cool.

I own numerous pairs of Frye boots and shoots. And if there's one thing I've learned with Frye, it's to size down. So I purchased the Shirley Strappy Short in fatigue in a size 9. I'm a perfect 9.5 with every other shoemaker. The size 9 fit fine. I couldn't understand why other reviewers complained about not being able to get their foot in the boot. Looking at the photos, I assumed you could just unwind the leather strap, and the shaft of the boot would open up. I own a pair of Jeffrey Campbell boots that do this, so I thought, "Oh, these Fryes must be like my brown Jeffrey Campbell boots." Yeah, they're not. The front of the shaft is stitched together with the back of the shaft. This explains why some folks had issues. And while I was able to get my foot in with no problem, I'll be returning the boots. The fatigue color just didn't appeal to me in person.

What can I say? I love these boots so much. I wear an 8 and found the 8 to be great. I have a high arch and yes the boots need some extra time to get into, but not bad. They look amazing and I have been looking for a short, flat boot to replace my old boots and these are it. Amazing... This is my 7th pair of Frye boots and I love them all, but these will be my everyday boots! The quality and craftsmanship is amazing! Ladies go get yours! Love, love, love them!

I love this boot! I expect them to be the first of many Frye boots I will own. I have somewhat narrow feet and did not have trouble getting into these as other customers did. Further, I live in New Orleans and heavy socks are rarely necessary. I am a size 7.5 to 8 and I ordered these in an 8. They are so cute and look great with skirts, leggings, jeans, shorts - you name it. I loved the two toned fatigue suede combo, but decided on the dark brown, so that I could get more use out of them with my current wardrobe. The color is nice, but I will be saving up for another pair of Frye's in the fatigue color combination. The Shirley strappy short is not as bulky + clunky as the Veronica Shortie that I started out with. If your feet are not too wide, get them - you'll love them. Plus, buying from Zappos is fantastic!

These boots are definitely true to size. I ordered a half size up based on reviews and they were way too big. Returned and got my regular size. The leather is great quality and very thick, so a long breaking-in process is required. Wore them for a holiday party and was hobbling on my way home. Probably my fault for not wearing wool socks, which reduces abrasions. But I looked great and had the best boots there. These will last years and years, unlike other brands. If you like them, get 'em before they sell out.

I am terribly disappointed with this particular Frye Boot. I am a small framed 5'6" woman, 120lbs, wearing a slim 6.5-7 shoe, and I can barely get my foot into this boot! The ankle area is cut so narrow that even with a boot-horn it was painful to get on, and once on, far from comfortable! I am so very disappointed - I ordered these at the last moment hoping to be able to wear them on a trip to France, that I leave for tomorrow morning, but there is no way. Not sure what I'll wear now, I was really counting on these to be right. My fault. I think I'm off Frye Boots for awhile, as I went through a similar poor design fit last year, as have a couple of friends. Plus they looked much better in the photos. Sigh.

I agree that these are difficult to get on, but once you do, they fit normally and comfortably. I just always need to allow a little extra time when getting dressed to get them on. Love the look!

I love how these boots look, but they absolutely will not go on my foot with a thin sock; can't get my heel in at all. They do go on barefoot, but no good in 25 degree weather. Can't to up a size as they are already a bit roomy in the foot/toe. Perhaps a wide width will work. Sending them back, unfortunately.

Love these boots. I generally wear a 7.5 and that is what i ordered and the fit is perfect. I have no problems pulling the boot on and can wear with boot cut pants covering the top or with skinny pants with the pants tucked in.

I just got these boots today in the lighter color. First impressions: love them. I have very narrow feet and low arches, so I had minimal problems getting my feet into the boots. The styling is so cool, and the straps are adjustable, which yields different looks. I can see them looking awesome with skinny jeans, boot-cut jeans, leggings, or dresses. They are very versatile.

Love these boots! Got the grey/green color which is so less "army" in person. Not too tall but this way I can fit my larger calves and jeans into them. They run about a 1/2 size large like typical Fryes. These are my 3rd pair.
