I bought a pair a couple months ago and they're so comfortable! They hold up very well, rain or snow. I decided to take the plunge after having to replace my boots every 1-2 seasons. No regrets!

I bought these boots a few months ago as I had been looking for a pair like these for a while and was skeptical when they first came, but I LOVE them. They are structured and look so cute with skinny black jeans and can be dressed up or dressed down. I have worn them so much more than I thought I ever would, and I have gotten a bunch of compliments.
They are true to size and do not take long to break in.

I have these in 3 colors! Please, please, please bring the burnt red back as these are my favorites and my dog managed to add his teeth artwork to them! :( These boots otherwise will last forever and will always be in style

I recently purchased these boots in the dark brown color. Every Frye boot I own has become one of my favorite boots and these Engineer boots are definitely becoming one of my favs. I normally wear a size 6 1/2 and ordered these in my normal size. They fit nicely with a little extra room for thicker socks. I have thin legs so I was concerned that they might look too clunky on me but luckily they do not.
I get tons of compliments when I wear them. They are a little heavy but you get used to it. I have worn these boots for over 12 hours in one day and my feet did not hurt at the end of the day! I wear these with skinny jeans but plan to wear them with skirts and dresses in the spring and summer. I have been very impressed with the quality of these boots. I will say that since they do not have a buckle or zipper to undo, they were a little tight when trying to put them on so I bought a shoehorn and that really made all the difference. Overall, I love these boots and look forward to many years with them.

I bought a pair three years ago. I had them nice and lived in, perfectly broken in. I wore them to clinic, to the OR (with boot covers of course) and out on the town. I must have delivered at least 180 babies while wearing (covered) these. Then tragedy struck. I left them in a cab in Dublin, Ireland almost a week ago now. There followed phone calls, memory jogs (I just know the driver's name was Liam Mc-something) and pleading, sadly, to no effect. Maybe some Irish person is wearing them now. I hope so. I hate to think of them out in the wide world alone.
In any case, after a mourning period, I'm ordering another pair today.

These are very nice boots. Well made and will last a long time. They are just not for me. I have a high arch it took much effort to try to get them on. I am sure with more wear they would be fine but I am just not willing to put in the effort.

i had been periodically looking at these boots over the last 2 yrs. I finally purchased the engineer 8 in my true size, an 8 in charcoal.I'm in love. Took about 3 days to break in. Have received many compliments . Will definitely purchase another pair. Hmm, what color? Decisions. Decisions.

Took trying three different styles of the Engineer boots, but this one worked best for me. I can get it on, and with some help of magic boot stretching solution (3:1 water to rubbing alcohol) I have them fitting perfectly. Quality boots take some time and patience to break in, but they're worth it. Am looking forward to wearing these for years to come.

In 1973 I purchased my first pair of Frye boots, and had them for many, many years. Times, styles and I changed but I vowed to one day have another pair of Frye boots. I found them, the Engineer 8R, while browsing your site. The ordering process was seamless. They arrived in no time, and since then I have been diligently breaking these new, old friends in. Superiorly well made. Proud to have them home. Thanks for a great experience

These little boots are awesome! I am about to celebrate my 61st bday, I am 5'4" with flat B width feet and A width heels. Until two months ago I had never heard of Frye boots. I was browsing zappos and started reading reviews and decided I had to try them! Now I am hooked! After ordering and returning many pairs, I learned that each individual pair can be very different and that they are very well worth the process of finding the right ones! Keep trying, don't give up! I wear either size 8 or 8.5 depending on the style. As you age, you loose the padding on the soles of your feet, so I need the more cushioned boots. Also I don't want to slip and fall in the winter weather, so need "R" for rubber soles. For these reasons, I love the sweet cute Engineer 8's and also the 15's. They are my favorites! Super comfort and support! No rubbing on my ankles, like the harness boots did. I also tried the 12's, but due to my height, they hit my calf in a ugly way. If you want Frye boots that are cute and comfortable, these are the best! I don't even want to take them off after wearing all day! Very cute with leggings and skinny jeans! Best birthday presents I ever got myself! I have the short ones in black and the tall ones in gaucho color. Very pretty!

I've been wanting another pair of Frye boots forever. My college Frye boots were my favorites, until now. The shorter boot is perfect for someone of short stature, and from the moment I slipped it on it felt soooo comfortable. Love the dark brown color too. I would recommend this boot to anyone!

I purchased my brown boots years ago and they are still going strong. I am about to buy another pair but in black this time. I absolutely love them! I wear and 8 1/2 and these were true to size. Sturdy as all get out!
