Exactly what I expected!
I have this boot in a slightly different style. The heel is the same height but the cuff is higher. I love this shorter version. These boots are heavy and heavy, stiff and leathery. A good thick sock is the perfect companion. This will be my summer version. My Frye "flip-flop" if you will.

A Super Boot -
The top could be an inch higher. Otherwise it is a great boot. It felt great from the first time I put it on and as it gets broken in it feels even better.

Super comfortable -
These boots are REALLY comfortable. I wanted a pair of pull on boots that would be a little more durable than tennis shoes. I'm a carpenter, so the heel wouldn't work on a roof. But I wear them around the shop. What I didn't expect is how comfortable they are! You won't believe this, but they feel better than tennis shoes. I have narrow feet, and they fit like they were custom made for me. I LOVE THESE BOOTS.

Frye Engineer 8R Gaucho -
Overall this is a solid boot, classic engineer. They look excellent and have a sturdy construction. They are comfortable enough to wear every day after a little breaking in. They are a little heavy but that is expected of a work style boot. The shaft is a little too large to fit slimmer jeans over compared to a zip up or a chelsea boot but that may or may not apply to you.

Cool boots -
I tried a number of Fry boots on, and this it the pair that fits the best. I have a high instep, so I couldn't even get in the other ones. This one is better, and now it slips on easier. I am a lineman (power lines, not football) and the boots rugged style suits me great. The footbad is not very padded, but that doesn't bother me, it's fine with a thicker pair of socks. And my wife finds them "hot", so all the better.

Frye Engineer 8 R -
Initial impression and first day's wear are positive. Fit is good - toe box is roomy. Leather is thick and on the stiff side - should soften with wear and conditioning. These are unlined, so expect your tube socks to come out of the boot slightly stained. Sole is stiff - comparable to a work boot. OK traction on snow and ice. Insole padding and support are good - better than most boots. Boots are surprisingly light. These look very rugged and stylish. Gaucho color is a deep brown with light/dark variation. I have to undo the buckle and strap to get the boots on. Not a big deal - some type of a hidden quick release combined with the buckle would be a cool improvement. They will get a treatment of Huberd's tonight. Bottom line so far - a very good boot.

Good looking pair of boots -
These boots are beautiful. Unfortunately, I wasn't used to the hard sole - I felt like every step I took was giving me a concussion.

Very nice boots. Ordered them at 4:00 ET and received them the next morning. I'm between sizes and went for the smaller size; is recommended. Fit great (a little tight in the arch but mine are very high, I'm sure they will stretch to fit). Very happy with the boots and Zappos.

Cool Boot, Great Service -
These are great looking, comfortable, American made boots with much better quality and fit than certain brands made elsewhere that I have tried. The "gaucho" color is a very dark brown. Do as others advise and order a half size down from your usual size. Mine felt comfortable right out of the box, which arrived on the doorstep just two days after my order thanks to a Surprise free delivery upgrade. Great experience all around.

Gift for my Husband -
He loved these boots as soon as he opened the box. They are a little uncomfortable, but need to be worked in. Otherwise a great purchase. I have them so know that within weeks they were become a staple in his wardrobe.

Very cool pair of boots!
I bought my first pair of these boots in black and loved them so much I ordered a 2nd pair in brown (Gaucho). They are comfortable, very hip, masculine, and someone always tells me how cool they are. They look especially good with jeans, but I've also worn them with army fatigues and cargo pants. Great boots.

I was very pleased with the purchase overall. I have a similar pair of another brand and I can really tell the difference between the two. These Frye boots definitely seem superior in many ways: fit, workmanship, comfort, and quality of leather. When it comes to boots like these, good-old American brand is the way to go. I recommend these boots 100-percent and Zappos, especially. Great service from Zappos.com and very professional when it came to price protection and fast delivery.

 |  | I don't know who to thank for this process, but it was unbelievable! I ordered a pair of shoes for my wife one day. The next day they arrived... that night she tried them on and decided she needed a 1/2 size larger. I forgot to bring them to work the following day, but the next day I brought them here and called in the exchange. The representative (who was absolutely fantastic (but whose name I have sadly forgot n)) e-mailed me a return slip and shipped out the correct pair of shoes that arrived THE NEXT DAY!!! Which my wife really appreciated. To say we just became loyal customers is an understatement... even more impressive when you consider my wife is a Podiatrist! Thanks again! Chuck
