GREAT LOOKING SHOE BOOT - Just received these in the brown --which is more like a light antiqued color, which is just what I wanted. Looks great under jeans or slacks. The heel is low and the front has a nice rounded toe, so makes a large foot look smaller. Very comfortable and beautifully made. Usually in Frye, I take a full size smaller, here I went half size and was perfect.

Great basic - I have wide calves so I am always looking for good short but everyday boots. These fit my bill. I am so glad to find them and hope to get them in black too. Short and comfortable for all day wear, but gives that pulled together look. Thanks Frye! I can even add my orthotics.

This a great boot! I'm really happy with my new my Dorado Frye boots, although I found they ran 1/2 size large. Thankfully, however, Zappos makes returns so easy this wasn't too much of a problem. They're very cute and totally recommend them!

A must for skinny jeans wearers! I have been hunting for great booties for a year. Not cheap ones, just great ones! I love these boots and the Frye quality means they will last forever. The brown is gorgeous so I got that, too. These fit like cowboy boots, so I ordered a half size smaller and they were perfect. Thanks for the free shipping so I could try on two sizes...

Dorado Short - The length seemed pretty true to size, but the heel runs very wide on Frye boots. I found that I could keep my heel from slipping out of the boot by having the strap at the ankle shortened. Otherwise the boot is comfortable and the look is great.

Love them! I've always wanted some Frye boots. I've had three foot surgeries and cannot wear a boot with a thick sole and it seems that practically all Frye boots come with the thick rubber sole… until these. I have them in brown and black - the thin leather sole is perfect, the toe is not too pointy and not too round! They are just right and I look forward to wearing them for years and years!

Beautifully perfect boot! Although quite expensive, this is worth the money. It’s a boot that seems like it will last many years. The leather is incredibly soft, the look is awesome and the fit is great! It was a little loose in the heel at first, but most boots do this at first until you wear them awhile. If you want to feel good about yourself, get this boot, you won't be sorry! If they were on sale, I'd get another pair!!!! The opening at the leg is quite roomy as it does NOT hug the leg, it’s baggy a bit and you could even put your pants inside (although I wouldn't) but just such a comfy boot! Great with a skirt too, probably because of the roomy loose fit.

Frye Dorado Short - I am having such a problem with these boots. I fell in love with them immediately because they are beautiful. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 so I ordered a 7.5 in these and the heel slipped a lot and I just thought they looked big overall. So I got the 7 (thanks Zappos for e-mailing when my size came in!) and they felt a little snug but I figured they would stretch. Anyway, I wore them out today for the first time and after about an hour I literally had to buy a pair of flip flops to finish the day because the back of my heels hurt so much! The shoes are very stiff! So I just took them to a shoemaker who said he would soften the heel and stretch them for me. I really hope it works because they are fabulous looking boots. The brown is beautiful. If anyone has advice for me, let me know. I will not return them because I love them too much.

So Cute - I felt these boots fit true to size; however, the heel is a problem. The heels slip constantly; I used a heel insert and used the strap to tighten more putting an extra hole in it. I think a lot of it is I have very small ankles. However, they are great boots and love the look, and you can't beat the quality of them.

Love these boots - Okay, so these aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world. Like others have said, the heel is definitely loose and when I walk my heel does come up (like a flip flop). However, they are so unbelievably cute, so I don't mind. I ordered down half a size like some suggested, but they were too small. I bought my regular shoe size and they fit perfect, and thanks to Zappos great service, they overnighted everything for free! I'm definitely happy with the service and the boots.

Best pair of comfort shoes ever. I have a pair of these boots, a bit big (a gift) but it is so darn comfortable that I wear them everyday as my slippers. I use them to get mail, do chores around the house, and if my pair was a bit more snug, I would wear it to do shopping or whatever. Unlike the cheaper copies, these Uggs are very tough and well made, the rubber soles are very tough and wear resistant. My pair have been worn for quite a while and it still looks practically new. I swear, if you start to wear these uggs, you will never take them off.

The WARMEST boot for seriously cold feet. I've been wearing Uggs (both the Ultra and the Classic) for 9 years. If they had an arch support under the sheepkin liners, they'd be the perfect boots. Period. One thing people must know about their sizing: the Classics run a half size short, men's and women's. The Ultras run a half size large and will stretch out a lot (especially in the heel - they'll slip if not snugly fitted) with wear. Also, the Ultras have removable innersoles (you can wash them or replace them) and the Classics don't. Hope this helps other folks.

OUT OF THIS WORLD - Super comfortable and warm. I still can't believe that you are able to wear these boots without socks in the nasty cold winter yet your feet stay warm and dry. The inner sole may be removed and/or replaced. Order them in your normal size and wear them barefoot for best fit.

IF you can find them in your size, BUY THEM! They are the best shoes I have ever bought. I usually hate boots but these are great.

50 year old Male - Warm! Great to go out quickly as no socks are needed. Waterproofed with the UGG stuff. Looking forward to some cold weather! My size 13 Men's fit fine. Zappos came through, size, quality and excellent delivery, also very good email communications.

They became a wonderful gift - I bought my friend the Ugg's as a Christmas present. He absolutely went "bananas" over them. He loves them so much, he hates to take them off.

I don't have a need to use winter boots often but the last pair I had are about 25 years old! I knew it was time for a change! I have heard a lot about the comfort and warmth of Uggs so I decided to give them a try. I am a female with a very high instep and wide foot so I opted to order a pair of men's boots in hopes that they would accomodate my foot. Thankfully they did and I love them. Just returned from a few days in Maine where I needed them. I found myself wearing them when I didn't need them, just because they were so comfortable and warm. My teenage daughter thought she better try them on for fit and now she thinking of ordering herself a pair. So far, so good!

Great Boots - These boots are great, I would suggest going a half size down not up. I wear a size 10 1/2 and I got an 11, they are a little big, but they work just fine. One down fall of the color black is the trim turns grey when they get scuffed, they do not stay black.
