I love these boots! I have wanted them for a long time! I finally broke down & bought a pair. I was not disappointed. They are quality boots, comfy since day one. The only thing I noticed was the backs took a few days of wear to break in. Love the arch support, the soles are great & they don't slip. They look great with bootcut, skinny jeans & tights. I couldn't be happier. I expect to be wearing these boots for years to come. I wrote this because other reviews encouraged me to purchase these. Go for it !

Ordered these in Gaucho Wednesday afternoon and received Friday morning, yay! Zappos is the best! I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 and ordered a 7.5 based on reviews. Used a butter knife as a shoe horn to get them on the first time, no problems after that. Need a little breaking in around the ankles. So glad I ordered these. I am tiny and was afraid they would be too chunky, but they are perfect. Tried the Frye Veronica Shortie and they were too flat and not chunky enough. Love the Engineer 8R and want black ones, too!

Edgy, yet feminine boots. The only problem is the instep is very tight. If you have a wide foot, a little in between, or a high arch, I definitely suggest you go up a full size. I'm an 8, the 8.5, was still a struggle to get on my right foot; 9 here I come! Fingers crossed.

I love these boots. They are so comfortable, I put them on the first day and wore them all day at work without any problems. They look great with jeans! And I love the color, too.

I bought the boots in brown and I love them. I have wide feet so they are a little narrow for me but after two wearings they are better. I usually wear a 7.5 so I got the 8 for the extra width. Very cool boots!

These are my favorite boots in the world! I got them about a year ago, and have worn them every day (even in a huge snowstorm) and they have very little wear and tear. They are still just as cute as the first day I got them! one problem I did have was that it took a long time to break them in. Also, I am a ballerina and have extremely high arches so at first the boots were very painful, rubbing against the tops of my feet. I am so glad I did not give up! I know I will get many years of use out of these.

I saw these boots in a magazine and absolutely loved them. They are true to size and so comfortable! Even wearing thick socks the boots are a perfect fit. I have flat feet so I always need a lot of support in my shoes. These boots are perfect in every way.

LOVE these boots. Comfortable from the moment I first put them on, gorgeous, and sturdy as heck. The only two small problems: first, I really wish there was a tab/loop at the top to help pull them on, as the leather is quite stiff (mine are still new, so I\'m hoping they\'ll wear in a bit and get easier). Second, at the top of the back of the leg, the stitches are a little rough and if my socks don\'t stay all the way up, it rubs and irritates. Easily fixed with a couple little patches of moleskin, though.

Awesome stompers -
I have wide calves and needed a short boot...these are great and easy to wear with almost anything. Also, I have heel spurs and these boots do not bother my heels! I love them.

I finally gave in and bought these boots after eying them for months, I could not decide between these and the square toe version. I went with my normal size and they are a great fit. There is some extra room for thick socks for the winter. Have no trouble getting them on (with boots like this, just put the shoe on the floor and step into it… if that doesn't work, they are too small). I wish they offered different color choices, but love them and know they will last forever.

Cute, rugged, but a little too tough.
I have always been a fan of boots, having ridden horses my whole life, so these really fit my lifestyle and need (run around town and can still go to the barn without ruining my good shoes). They look good, are high quality, but in the future, I will stay away from boots that are this short. The leather is sturdy and it hits me right in the shin above my ankle. If my socks don't stay pulled up, I get a sore spot where the top of the boot hits my leg. A good pair of thick socks will remedy this, however, thick socks make it difficult to get the boot on since it is snug around the ankle (not a fun task when you are 7 months pregnant). I see that many people comment about their heels slipping in Frye boots. That is actually a trait you want in boots… so I have always been told. And my heel does slip. Since they are a good fit, it does not cause any irritation. I'm not going to send them back, but I will try to find some good socks that work.

Sturdy low boot -
I actually have the Frye Engineer 12"R, which are an inch or two taller than these 8Rs. The fit, material, construction & general style are the same. These are sturdy boots made with thick leather, straight stitching, and overall, construction that feels solid and durable. I justified the price of purchase by the fact that my sister's Fryes have held up for 8 years and are going strong-- I expect mine to as well. Fit-wise, I'm wearing a 6 with thin socks. With most shoes, I wear a 7. They feel snug around the forefront of my widish feet, but they don't hurt, and I expect the leather to wear in/stretch a little bit. There is arch support, but it's a little farther back than you'll find in most shoes, so it may feel weird at first. THEY ARE A PAIN TO GET ON at first, but after a few ons and offs, I don't know if the leather gives just a bit or if you just figure out a trick that works for you or what, but it gets easier. Now I can slip them on and off as easily as I can get in and out of the Born ankle boots I've got, which have an elastic goring. They look great w/ jeans and skirts, are built to last, are made in the USA, and are a great all-round boot.

I love the look of these boots, but the instep/vamp is too tight and I can't get them on no matter what I do. Back they go. I am sad.

 |  | You need a portal just for testimonials! I am an enthusiastic fan of Zappos! I live overseas but I have a home in USA. I shop the latest styles and fashions on Zappos.com in Denmark, ship them to my USA address and pay with my Danish bank card...no hassle. Your “competition” will not allow me to do that and they place the burden of identity verification on me. When I try to place an order from Denmark to ship to my house in USA they cancel my order. When I call in to determine why they do not use a more sophisticated method of credit card verification like “Verify by Visa” they tell me they cannot reinstate the order. I spend about 3K per month in shoes alone and I am more than happy buying them all from Zappos now. I shop Zappos exclusively now for the great customer service, ease of use, selection and confidence in knowing that the purchases I make will be honored in a way that provides service to the customer. I started with buying shoes, I am now looking at all the other wonderful things Zappos offers as a result of the service and value provided through this company! I love Zappos! |  | ~ Johnna C., November 08 2009
