Love these boots, compliments all over the place. The back zipper is a bit hard at first due to a facing but working fine now. They are very comfortable. I feel cool when I wear them! Love the color, hard to find brown.

Frye boots are my favorite! Great quality made to last. I'm super picky about style and I have muscular calves which makes choosing the right boot even harder. This boot was that and more. Classy look. Fit right the first time. No break in time needed and slid nicely over my lovely calves over jeans! Perfect.

super fast shipping, excellent customer service!! The brand speaks for itself..I am never disappointed with fit and quality when purchasing a pair of Frye boots and these are no exception..For references I have atlethic calves (17 in at the fullest) these fit perfect with skinny jeans...esp utilizing my special trick..

No need to break these boots in, they are comfortable the first time I wore them. I have fairly narrow feet and calfs on the smaller side and they fit perfectly. The zipper was a bit hard to get up the first few times I wore them but beeswax works on that.

You know it's a good boot when they don't need breaking in! These felt great right out of the box, they are beautiful and I am wearing them all the time! The zipper was a bit tough to use, but a little beeswax did the trick.

These boots are beautiful. They are very comfortable and are true to size, I normally wear a size 8½ and I bought 8½ and they fit perfectly. Also I did get the extended calf since I am a runner and have muscular calves.

I adore Frye boots, but having the calf fit me is really hit or miss. Some do and some don't. I wish Frye would offer extended width in the boot shaft.

I loved these boots and they were even more beautiful in person; however, they would not zip up the last inch or so. I have athletic calves that measure under 16" and even with the extended calf sized boots they just wouldn't budge. I also would have to maybe size up since they felt like they could be a little tight. I have a pair of harness Frye boots that I love and was just hoping to get a little taller pair. I'm bummed!

I just got these boots in yesterday and I'm so in love with them! I have big calves so I was looking for something that would fit me and be as sleep as possible. I don't need help adding bulk. Well these boots are perfect! They are comfortable right off the bat, and I find the zipper works fine. I had read a lot of other reviews that people had a hard time with it so I was worried, but mine seems very durable and works great. The leather is very nice and already feels broken in. This is my first pair of Frye boots and I am very excited to have them for years to come!

Soooo comfy!!! Wide Calved Gals? They zip right up if my leg is extended upwards! Woohoo! This boot is amazingly comfortable and so fancy/casual! Love the style! Love the easy pairing with most anything! The leather is great and actually takes the pressure off of getting marks as they rub right off! So happy with this boot. :)

These are gorgeous boots. I love them. I've only worn them a few times due to the weather and when I did they were comfortable. I can't comment on how they will be after a long day of walking or if the leather holds up to wear and tear, but they fit well and look beautiful.

I love the look of these boots! I didn't think I would like the zipper, but it really adds something to the look. They are, however, not as comfortable as my other 5 pairs of Frye boots. They are all the same size, but these are tighter on my foot and actually rubbed blisters, which has never happened with any of my other Fryes, even right out of the box. I know they will break in over time, and I'll wear them for a long time.

These are absolutely beautiful boots. Thick, supple leather, solid construction, and quality hardware combine into a classic, rugged-but-somehow-elegant boot that is comfortable, sturdy and easy to wear. They look beautiful on. If they fit you, you will love them. Worth every penny, especially when you compare them to the cheap boots you keep buying that last only a year and don't look that good brand new. These will get better with age. The sole is leather, so it will not have grip; be prepared to have rubber pads/taps added if you expect grippy soles. The foot feels true to size; the shaft felt small, even in the extended size. I have 16" calves and well defined ankles; the size 10 fit my feet perfectly, my legs too snugly, with no room even for tights underneath. The size 11 was too big in the foot, and V-E-R-Y slightly too big in the calf, which made a slight slouch at the ankle. If I can't find a pair of good boots from another brand, I will probably reorder the 10 and have them stretched.

I just got this boots in 7 1/2 my reg. size, but had to return and ordered an 8 - now I am good, just wore them once for a little bit, so not sure yet, how comfortable they will be. I did already spray them to water proof them, just in case I get them really wet. But love the look of them, can't wait to wear them

Love this boot! I love the harness style! But unfortunately, since I have a larger calf I had to return these. I wouldn't be able to wear them with tucked in pants! At least Zappos has a large selection of wide calf boots and free shipping, so shopping for the right fit is easy!

My choice was between this one and the "Melissa Tall Harness" - I kept the Melissa as it was #1 - Correct size (even though other raters said it rain small - I'm a 7 and it was perfect) and #2 - The "Melissa" was more feminine and the style, although similar, was more beautiful. Thank you Zappos!

I strongly depend on reviews when it comes to buying boots because I am so short with athletic calves. I am only 5 ft tall and I was surprised that the shaft height of these boots was perfect. The shaft circumference, however, was not!! The 15 inch "extended" circumference is just not enough. If it was 16...these might just be the most perfect boots ever. Come on Frye...15 inches is not extended/wide calf!!!

While the leather and quality of these boots are 5 star, the fit is another story...I think that I have an average calf size, and went with the extended size based on other reviews, and it ended up being the right choice. I was able to zip these up with skinny jeans under them without a problem. I actually had a little wiggle room after zipping. The thing that I did not like about them, is that they made me feel like an old buccaneer. The shape of the boot kind of hugs your calves, it isn't straight, and I just felt that it looked odd. Like I should be jumping off of the mast of a ship all the while swinging a sword. I also thought the brown was darker than pictured. I thought it would be more of a cognac, but it's definitely more a of a chestnut. Overall cute, until you put them on, so they're going back. As always, Zappos' shipping is top notch.

Great looking boot but sorry to say that I have to return it. It has zero support and runs about 1/2 small. I'm a true size 7 1/2 and would have to go up to an 8 with this boot. But I also like some arch support or cushion in the inside and this boot has neither. A size 8 with inserts might help but I expect more from an expensive boot.

Very cute but difficult to put on and difficult to zip even when not wearing. I'm returning. I love Frye's so I'll try a different pair.

I read some of the reviews that said the zippers get stuck. I assumed it was just because the boots were brand new and would get better over time. I was not too concerned about it. When I received the boots one of them zipped just fine but the other one would not zip at all. It took two people hold the boot and tugging to finally get it zipped. And it did not get any easier the second time. I have no choice but to send them back. I would love to keep them but I cannot.

I bought these in a size 9, black. They were beautiful, but unfortunately they were too small in the calf. I couldn't zip them the last 2 inches. I could have had them stretched but given the price of the boots, I didn't want to risk ruining them. I have three pairs of Frye boots, but this was the first tall boot I've purchased. Sadly, back they go.

Loved the look of these boots. They did not fit. I ordered extended calf but they were too small. I'm not small but I am an average sized woman. I normally don't have this issue. I was disappointed that I can't wear them.

I loved the look of these boots but could not the the zippers up. It seems to get stuck where the strap comes together in the back. After much struggle I got them on but the second time I put them on I had the same problem. Even with the boot off it was hard to get the zipper up. Sadly I had to send them back.

I buy a ton of shoes. I have spent thousands through Zappos. I have never felt compelled to write a review before now, on these Frye boots. I bought these boots a little over a year ago. Out of the box, I loved the look and feel of them, and they were comfortable. However, I struggled each time I wore them to get one of them to zip up. As a consequence, I only wore them a handful of times, then the warm weather came and I put them away. This year, the first time I decided to try and wear them was on New Years Eve. I could not get the zipper on one of the boots to budge. It did not matter what I did or how close I held the two parts together before trying to zip, it would not go up over this one area toward the bottom where it sort of "caught" every time. Bound and determined to wear them that night, however, and having gotten them to zip up before after some considerable tugging and pulling, I finally got it to go up. It zipped up alright (zipper got to the top of the boot) - but the entire part in the middle was wide open. The zipper had busted! I have tried to get it back on the track but it is no use. Now I am going to see if I can get a shoe repairman in our area to try to fix it, but when you spend this much money on a pair of boots, you expect to wear them more than four or five times before the zipper busts. At least, I do. and, it has been more than one year so I cannot return them to Zappos. I could never recommend these boots to anyone.
