They look good and have a not so thick soul. They have more room in the toe than I wanted, and yes they fit a little like a cowboy boot. But that is just what I was looking for. I didn't care for the grey dusting to give it a worn in look, so I applied some Hubbards Shoe Grease and now they look really nice. It will take a little more time to break these babies in cause of the tight fit at the sides of the front part of the shoe, but over all I like them a lot.

Okay, these are the most expensive shoes I've ever purchased. Fortunately, they are also my favorite shoes and fit the best. I don't mind paying the price if the quality is there...and it is. Very pleased with the style, color, fit and quality.

I'm a woman who ordered these very beautifully crafted men's boots. Although I loved them, they were very narrow and I couldn't imagine a man fitting into them. I did order a full size smaller as advised by the reviews -- they were long enough but narrow.

Amazing boots! I love them completely! They seem to run big, I am a size 13, and I bought a size 12 and they fit perfectly! Amazing and comfortable. Quality product.

While I had already seen this product "live" at a local retailer & tried it on for size, the service given there didn't seem to care. I thought about the boot some more & decided to check online, i.e. Zappos. Their delivery, return policy etc. couldn't be better & as for the boot itself it has been everything I wanted & very comfortable to wear. It's true to size so no worries there; the only thing is the soles are very slick when new/wet weather. Break them in/scuff the soles/bottoms.

I bought these for my husband after he picked them out. They're beautiful, in usual Frye fashion, but we both felt like the toe was too pointy. It's more cowboy-esque than the photo shows. Also the boots arrived looking far more white washed than the photos. They look almost grey, like he's been walking through post apocalypse ash or something. We're returning them, although I think they're nice looking and some people will really enjoy them.

These are great shoes/boots! I expect high quality and solid design from Frye and am very pleased with the fit and finish of the Jayden Crosstrap. And my Birkenstock insoles fit perfectly in this shoe.

I have had these boots for three months now and still think they are great. The "grey dusting" mentioned in other reviews is all but gone after normal cleaning giving them a mildly distressed look around the stitching. I feel normal waterproofing would completely eliminate it if you so choose. I have wide feet with very high arches which is often a problem with boots. Not these. I wore them straight out of the box on a long night out and they were comfortable (even more so now). I wear between an 8.5 and 9 depending on the shoe and bought a 9 in these. Perfect. The leather and construction is what you would expect from Frye. High quality and durable. Love the look which is tough with a bit more style than most Fryes. Zappos, as always, was great and I received them sooner than expected.

These boots are gorgeous. Very high quality leather and fun, interesting styling. Footbed is very well cushioned. I got them as a women's boot, and they do work for that - not clunky at all. Having said that, they will also look great on a man, either with jeans or slacks-suit for a mixed casual-business look. Unfortunately it was hard to translate mens to women's size (and width of D was slightly too wide for my B foot in the heel) so may or may not re-order.

This was my first time ordering from Zappos. So I was tentative with my purchase for an expensive boot. But they turned out to be really nice with unusually good workmanship. The fit is comfortable with only about a day or two of breakin. I also received some complements on the style. I wear them for work and going out. I could not be more pleased with the purchase. Thank you.

My son uses this for soccer practice. It holds his water bottle, practice jersey, his ball (I didn't buy it expecting his ball to fit, but it does!), and it has a pocket to keep his cell phone away from his water bottle. Just what I needed, at the right price, and much more substantial than the "freebie" drawstring pack he was using.

This is fine. A little overpriced for what it is, but pretty cheap regardless. I liked that it had a mesh part for breathability, but that results in it being less practical when it's rainy out.
