Amazing - These are the best boots I ever had. Frye sizes run a little on the large side. I usually wear 9, but 8 1/2 fits me better in this boot. Excellent quality, really classic look, soft leather... Don't normally splurge on shoes, but I don't regret going over budget on these! I'll enjoy them for years.

Dorado Riding Boot - Brown - After being obsessed with these, decided to splurge on the brown boots. And although they come with a hefty price tag, these boots feel high quality - worth it! They go with skirts, dresses, skinny jeans, and even my boot cut jeans I thought I'd never wear again! Genius. My one complaint is that there is little to no arch support. Although they fit, my heel is constantly rubbing the boot. Hopefully this will stop once they're broken in?

Looking Good - I purchased these boots to go with my kilted skirt and wear to an event that had a lot of walking. They made a real statement - the look is fabulous. I am a 3-inch heel person and I thought a boot with a heel would be sexier but after trying these on with the outfit, the knee high length pulls the look off comfortably and sexy. Even though the fit was exact, my heel pulled up just enough to rub; while I was aware of the friction, it was nothing that made a blister and I walked all day long in them the first day. Now I wear short socks with them. They are worth every dollar, all 400 of them. The leather is soft and it is not too tight around the calf. No zippers so the look is continuously clean. A very sharp looking boot.

Heel slippage - So, I'm madly in love with the look and quality of these boots. Unfortunately, when I walk in them, my heel slips up a bit each step causing a rubbing that I just know would be a problem long term, so I'm returning them. It might just be that I need a smaller size, but I kinda think it is just the boot.

About Frye
Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.
The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

Riding boot - I normally wear a 9.5, but the size 9 fits well. In fact it's roomy enough for a thick sock. Comfort and quality are excellent and boot is exactly what I wanted in a stylish riding boot.

YES!!! I agonized over spending the money on these, but I had my first pair of Frye boots in high school through college. Wore them for YEARS, and loved them. After a week of online boot shopping, looking at other boots, I decided that I just had to have them. And I am glad I did. Beautiful and well crafted, comfortable and much more my style, than high heel, tight fitting boots. Look great with anything except maybe a cocktail dress!

FANTASTIC BOOTS! I as well agonized over the price tag of these boots, but do not regret my purchase now. I love them- they look great with jeans and leggings. They do run a little big, the other Frye boots I own are a half a size larger. I did need to have these stretched in the front width area- they are narrow. I also noticed that these boots were made in Spain not like the rest of the Frye boots I own which were made in china and therefore were less expensive.

When I received these boots, I was a little surprised. I didn't pay attention to the measurements on the website and they ended up being both taller and wider than I thought. They do go all the way up to the knee, which I didn't know. This wasn't really a problem, though, because I still liked them. As for the fit, they felt very true to size. I wear a size 10 and my foot is on the narrow side-- the 10s fit perfectly. I was glad of this because I almost bought a half-size down by recommendation, but I feel they would have been too tight. I agree with the other reviews, these boots are totally worth the price!

Dorado Boot - This boot looks great, but unfortunately the fit wasn’t the greatest. It does run true to size, I am a 9.5 & that was the size I needed. When I walked in the boot, it felt too loose in the heel & my foot kept coming out. It also feels hard on the sole, it doesn’t have a lot of cushioning. You might need to place a foot pad for cushion & to keep the boot in place.

Love 'em - Love everything about this boot! Except that it ran about a 1/2 to a full size smaller than marked. I got the boot stretched out and they fit better but are still too snug but I love them so much...no pain no gain, they will eventually stretch over time anyway.

Expensive...but worth it - The boots are beautiful. Truly the look of an authentic riding boot, but fashionable enough for daily wear. Very well made, fit true to size (I'm a 9.5). Love love love.

Frye Dorado Riding Boot - I love this boot! You can dress it up or down. Pair it with you favorite denim, dress, or try a pencil skirt and tucked in blouse for the office. The color words with black or brown and the leather is the perfect balance; just stiff enough to stand up tall, soft enough to keep the blisters away. They are a little stiff when you try them on the first time, but I wore them around the house for 10 minutes and they broke in very fast. I am so pleased with this purchase and Zappos upgraded my shipping to overnight! Amazing!

PERFECT - I have been looking forever for tall riding boots. I am tall, 5'9' and also have very small calves so it was difficult to find a boot that would fit well. However, these are absolutely perfect and the way they are made, I can see them fitting just as well on many other body types. My jeans fit well under them with room. Usually I wear a size 9, but these in 8.5 were just right. These look even better on than you can imagine...

Wow - even more beautiful in person - Love these boots - they are a welcome addition to the family. Excellent quality, nicer than other Frye boots I have had. Gorgeous line - comfortable, easy to get on and off (even given pull on style); it IS possible to wear these when flying commercial and slip them on/off at security to avoid packing. Returned the Marc Jacobs because these were so very much more attractive. Fit is similar to other Frye items - a bit larger than average shoe from other makers (true to size for Frye). Might slip in the heel w/o socks or insert; trade-off is that these boots will continue to fit even after walking all day and most of the evening at food & wine fest. 12 straight hours of compliments. Lovely!

I previously rated these blades poorly because I could not get them to stop hurting my feet. After more than a year, I figured out the trick: I adjusted the frame to the outside of each blade. Now I love them! I have no trouble with my feet even after blading for over an hour. They are fast and the bigger wheels are very forgiving of hitting small stones or sticks in the road. These are my second pair of Rollerblades and I highly recommend them. Please disregard my previous rating!

These boots are beautiful and sexy and comfortable. Gorgeously made, they fit like a dream and weigh next to nothing. I just wish the fall would hurry up and arrive so I could wear them more often! One note is that these Fryes don't run large like many do. I'm a solid 8.5 and I had to return the 8s I had originally ordered for 8.5s, which fit perfectly.

Dorado wonderful - I just received them today and they fit great I hardly had to break them in. Very east to get on and off. I am so pumped; thanks again. I have a wide calf and they fit beautifully. I might purchase the dark brown ones later.
