This is written for other skinny legged people. I actually found these boots online barely used, but I love Zappos and read all of the reviews here before I purchased them. I have always had the problem of trying to find boots that fit because many boots are so sloppy on my calves that they look like rain galoshes. I am 5'6 at 120lb. Many of the reviews of this boot said they were for people with big calves so I was worried these would not fit my leg. I decided to risk it and I love these boots. There is some wiggle room at the top, but they do not look sloppy. In the photos they are very straight, and like others have said they do slouch a bit, perhaps a bit more if they aren't fitted to your leg like a glove. I can fit skinny jeans in them, but because there is no zipper, I didn't feel like there was a lot of extra room. They are adorable with a skirt and tights. The leather is beautiful, the style is very fun and funky but extremely well made. This is my third pair of Frye's; I usually wear a size 8 in most shoes, but I wear a consistent 7.5 in Frye. Hope that was helpful!

These boots are amazing! I bought them in the grey and they match so many things. They look great with everything from leggings, to jeans, to dresses. They are the most comfortable pair of boots I own. I get compliments on these all the time. I was on the fence about buying these because of the money, but I am so glad that I did. The quality on the Frye boots is amazing!

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.

Being from Texas, I know good boots. I have worn all kinds all my life and I am not young! I bought these same boots last year in brown. I had wished for black after I realized how much I was going to love them. And when I found them on the Zappos site this year, I was over the top excited! I absolutely love these boots. I wear them all day comfortably and they are absolutely true to size! I am completely satisfied and have no complaints!

This was my first pair of frye boots and I love them. They are really comfortable and go with everything. I find that frye runs a little big, I usually wear a 9 or 9.5, the 9 in these fits well with room for a thicker pair of socks.

Not only am I loving these boots, but the way they arrived to me was very efficient. I had to call customer service because the boots would not have arrived on time to the location that I had originally given. The agent canceled my order, made an exchange, and sent a different pair of boots to a different address without charging me a penny and waiving the extra taxes since the state of delivery had also changed! This company and website are very reliable and have great customer service!

I love these boots! I usually wear a 10 in running shoes and a 9.5 in heels. The 9.5 fit perfectly in these - a bit snug at first and perfect when broken in. Very comfortable and work well with skinny jeans as well as leggings. Lots of room for me in the calf area even with jeans on.

I love boots. I have several other pair of Frye boots, including some rare and elegant riding boots. I love them all, but I must say these are the best. I got them in my usual shoe size, rather than half a size down as I usually do with boots so they are a little loose. I can therefore wear them with socks. They are comfortable, the taupe goes with everything and I can stand and walk all day in them. They are somewhat casual, and do not fit well under jeans that are not a full boot cut. Still, they look and feel awesome with dresses, skirts and jeans.

I absolutely love these boots! They are extremely comfortable and I have received so many compliments when I wear them. I went a half size down and they fit perfectly. I highly recommend these boots! I also love Zappos! I have had such great experiences with them. My shoes arrive within a few days of ordering them. Love the free shipping! They are the best.

These are the most versatile, flattering boots I have ever bought. People compliment them constantly. They make every outfit instantly more chic. If you are in the market for a relaxed yet stylish boot, you will not regret this purchase.

Love these boots! Great color (light tan leather)that goes with everything. The harness style is timeless, as FRYE in general! I purchased, actually exchanged for another boot that I didn't care for. Did the exchange online that night. Packaged and had ready for UPS to pick up the next day. To my surprise, when they picked up the return, these were waiting! Find service better and I'll shop there! Can't be done! Amazing service! Amazing boot! Zappos is great! The size on this boot is a bit larger than most FRYE. I normally take a 6 in FRYE. Sometimes will take a 6.5, but with the rounded toe (which I get tons of compliments on!), I wear a 5.5. Length is generous due to the rounded toe, but width is true to size. Pictures are pretty accurate as far as description, too!
Brands I'd also recommend: Old Gringo's, Tony Lama and of course FRYE!

Finally! Been lusting after a pair of Frye boots since the '70s. So glad I invested in these, I plan to be wearing them for the next 20 years at least. That's not a lot of cost per year. Can you tell I had to talk myself into splurging? But I have no regrets; they fit and feel great, and they are just cool. As for fit, I am 5ft 8, curvy and have muscular calves, and they fit perfectly true to size. Can't wait for the weather to get cooler (did I really say that?), so I can wear them more!

I love these boots. I was looking for a pair of knee high boots and ordered these based on reviews. The leather is soft but sturdy. The color is engrained into the leather and not floating like in those of lower quality. The heel is a perfect height and they look fabulous. I cannot wait to walk in them.

These are great boots. The upper is super soft. I slipped them on like I had had them for years. The size was true and the style is very hip right now. I got the waxed taupe, I like the contrast of the waxed effect and the color is quite neutral. The calf width is generous, I think some room there is cool as it adds to the look. The leather sole is too slippery for snow, I plan to take them to a shoe repair shop and get vibram soles put on. I have done this with other Frye boots and it looks fine and extends the use of the boots. Overall these are great investments and you get the Zappos service, what a great deal!

I bought these in a half size larger than my usual size because I wanted a certain color, and my size wasn't available. I took a chance. Unfortunately they were too big so I had to return them. These boots are very cute and pretty comfortable. I will definitely buy them in my size once I am able to. The shipping was incredibly fast. Thanks!
