These are gorgeous boots! Wish I could keep them, but there is no way to get my 16" calves into this boot and still pull it all the way up. I'm so sad. I thought about taking them to the cobbler to get them stretched because I like the style so much, but it's not even close. There's not even a zipper or goring to make it easier. These boots are made for very narrow calves. The footbed felt true to size, though.

Not for muscular calves! I am 5'8, with very muscular 15 1/2 calves. Could not pull these size 8s on with no amount of stretching or breaking in could ever make these work. Beautiful boot if you have average sized calves - gorgeous thick leather with a lovely feel. So sad and these are going back.

I love these boots! I was hesitant to purchase this style at first because the Melissa Button style did not fit me very well at all. These fit WAY better! Are very comfortable. I purchased the 8.5 which is my typical size in Frye in the all black. The leather is very durable, yet soft. They have a classic look while still being very unique. The circumference is 15 in and height is 17 in. Long story short, I'm in LOVE with these! Highly recommended.

Gorgeous boot, but sadly not made for anyone under 5'6". It doesn't hit your leg in the right place. Had to send back.

Loved the idea of this boot. The monogram cutout accent is really cool. They are too tall for me and too wide in the calf, so they are going back. I am 5'5" if that helps anyone. I am going to try a Born riding boot next.

This boot looked and felt like a stove pipe on. The leather is incredibly stiff and the ankle is huge. Every time I tried to walk, the bulk ankle would make this loud noise that sounded like I was a little kid wearing my Mom's rain boots. On top of that, the boot came up behind my knee, making walking and sitting difficult. I rode for years, so I know boots, a riding boot would come up that high so that when it dropped at the ankle it was still high enough to protect the leg. It would take years for these to break in like that and I really don't want my fashion boot all wrinkled at the ankle so it fits at the knee. The sole was very slippery on my carpeting too. On the plus side, they have a nice footbed and you can get skinny jeans into them easily. But I shouldn't have to talk myself into keeping boots this pricey simply because they at the house and I'm tired of the boot search. Back they went and on to the next pair.

You get what you pay for...it's a great boot and a head turner. I have the black and brown. I would totally buy it again. This is a quality boot.

I love this boot! I got it in the black/brown combo. So cute and not super common. At first I thought I might need to order a half size down from my regular 9 (a little slippage in the heal and room to wiggle my toes). But then I read on the Frye Company website about those things being desirable in a Frye boot. So I kept my size 9s (my size in every other shoe I own) and I have worn them for an extended period once so far and at this point I think I have the perfect size and boot! They are fitted around my foot (narrow in a good way) so they definitely don't feel too big, and like I said, I have room to wiggle my toes (unlike the suggested fit for some cowboy boots). They are snug on my calves when I wear straight leg jeans, but it is definitely doable and they are perfect with leggings and skinny jeans (I tried them on with all my pants to be sure they would work with everything)! I love these boots. That is really what it comes down to.

These are stunningly gorgeous boots. I got the two-tone and, like other reviewers have said, they go well with anything. I had some difficulty getting them on initially but solved the problem with the shopping bag trick. For reference, my calves are 13.5 inches and I have a rather high arch (which might explain the difficulty getting them on). I did not size down or up. I felt they run true to size. The only mention I will make about fit is that there seems to be a little extra room in the ankle. My skinny jeans fit with just enough room. I would not, however, recommend for someone with athletic calves.

These boots are amazing, they were slightly snug around the calf at first but quickly loosened up to have that classic riding boot look. They are very tall and come up right below my knee (I am 5'8"). The all leather footbed molds to your foot quickly and they did not take very long to break in at all. They are gorgeous and I wear them almost daily and get tons and tons of compliments. They are definitely a great buy.

Great suit. Fits well, not too long, not too short. I got the medium. I am 5'8 at 160, 33 inch waist. I like this suit because its not too crazy, has pockets, looks good, functional. I will probably get another.

I chose this short for a multi purpose snorkel/swim and touring short and it was great. Good pockets, perfect fit and held up well in sea water.

Bought these for my husband for an upcoming cruise. He says they have good pockets and a great fit. Haven't tried them in the water yet, though.

Love these swim trunks. I'm a little bottom heavy from working out so I would recommend getting a bigger size if you are too. Love VIP because I needed them the next day because of my vacation plans to Puerto Rico. I got a size large and they weren't comfortable and Zappos took care of my exchange right away. VIP is so worth it.

Durable, strong, and (dare I say) stylish! This swimsuit is great. I like how the string is on the inside, and the material doesn't scratch against the skin like some sandpapery swimsuits. The shorts fall an inch or two above the knee, so I guess in an ideal world they might be a little longer but they work for me!
