Needed to update my review. These boots are awesome looking, but trying to figure out what size is insane. I ordered my size 8.5 in Smoke Old Town. They arrived in box that said 8.5 Smoke Old Town, but they were actually size 8 Tan boots....which I only figured out after I ordered another 8.5 Smoke Old Town to compare due to reviews saying to order a size down. I could hardly fit my foot in the 8s, and my foot is swimming in the 8.5. Madness. So I ended up liking the tan. I've ordered the 8.5 in Tan...yes, I have three pairs of boots (one on the way)...I need my money back!!! But I have to see which works best. I really love the tan 8s, but I'm afraid they won't stretch out enough and I'll be stuck with very expensive boots that I cannot wear. My advice to all thinking about ordering these boots is order two pairs, your true size and a size down. I believe people are wearing these and stretching them out and then returning them, because there is no way the 8.5s I received are the original size without stretching. I say this because there is too much of a difference between the 8 and the 8.5 I have.

Love these boots. Style with a bit of attitude! Easy to dress up or down. I have narrow feet and the fit is conducive with that. I would like to add that my experience with the customer service team regarding this purchase was exceptional. The first pair that I received had a defective right boot. Submitted an inquiry regarding an exchange. My submission was promptly addressed. The resolution went above and beyond my expectations. I have had good experiences with Zappso in the past but the most recent update experience has made me a loyal customer.

Well, these beauties arrived today. Love the look of them. Color is a great rich brown, but had a few scuff marks here and there and the color is not consistent, meaning there are lighter parts and darker parts...but that just adds character in my opinion. I ordered an 8.5, and on the inside of the boot, it reads 8 M, but the box reads 8.5 M. Not sure if that is normal ;-/ I managed to squeeze my feet into them and they are becoming more comfortable by the second. After reading several reviews, I decided to go with my normal size. I think if you haven't read enough to realize that they are supposed to mold to your feet, you may not give them a proper chance if you just try to get your foot in and decide they are too small, because they really are too small :-D The leather will mold to your feet..or so I've been told ;-) But I've had them on for 15 minutes, and they've very comfortable now. I will update if necessary.

These boots are absolutely beautiful. The leather feels like butter. They were hard to get on at first, but have become so comfortable. Was a bit nervous that they may look a bit too blocky/manly. But they make my feet look quite dainty and feminine. Get these...you'll love them :-)

I received these for a Christmas present from my husband. I was super excited because I have always loved Frye boots. We also ordered a different style for our daughter. Unfortunately, the size is too big, so I have put myself on a waiting list for a size 8 1/2 and I hope it doesn't take too long, I can't wait to wear these.

Good quality but my 11's were too large and I'm not sure I like the square flat point at the tip. For larger feet it looks long, like a clown.

I am a comfort snob so I was a bit leery when I ordered these. I usually wear Dansko boots and shoes so this seemed like a big step. This boot was easy to get on, felt the slightest bit snug, and was comfortable on day one. Loosened a bit to make them perfect.I am POSITIVE your heel is suppose to move up and down when you walk. My foot is narrow and it hugged my foot. This is the type of boot you can have for a lifetime. I hate going out to buy boots every year because I have to. I want to buy boots to ADD to my collection. I have worn these two days in a row and both days got compliments from strangers. My husband even said "wow, you look sexy as hell". For that compliment I was only wearing a simple black cotton dress, tights, and these boots in black. I wear 91/2 and thats what I ordered. Side note: I also ordered the "belted" harness boot (similar) in size 9 for comparison. and that one was bigger. If you are choosing between the two you better look at those reviews. It is not the same boot.

These were my first pair of FRYES, and I loved them so much I've added 3 more pairs over the last month. I had no idea what I was missing out on. I thought the FRYE name was all hype, but really it is lasting quality and fine craftsmanship. I'm a lifer now. *note: there IS a breaking in period with this stiff leather...but it is not unpleasant.

I love these boots! They are classics and really well made! The leather is thick and the soles are solid. They look super cute with skinny jeans or dresses/skirts. They are kinda spendy but they will last and I think they are totally worth it. Also, they are totally true to size. I wear a 7.5 and I'm really happy with the fit.

Bought it Smoke color--the boot was absolutely beautiful. Looks very high quality. Ended up exchanging for a different style (that's on me tho) Hated to, because quality and color of the boot was gorgeous.

These are great boots, I bought a 2nd pair in brown. I can wear a women 12 with a nylon, possible thin dress sock after they've broke in some. A 12 wide is perfect for me. I had both pair stretched by a cobbler and they are wonderful, I can even wear a bit thicker sock. One pair for dress (black) and one for me (brown). I have only had them a month or so but I can tell they will stand the test of time and age beautiful. I wish they would do a 12 in more colors and a wide would be good. Very comfortable, heal is just right, the black is very dressy. Would love a belted harness as well.

The first time I put them on it was very hard to get my heel in, but once in the boot it was a comfortable fit. I was used to my old broken in Frye's. They came off easily so I hope next time putting them on goes a little smoother. It literally took me minutes to put each boot on. Fabulous quality and construction though and as I said, a very nice fit once on.

I purchased these boots on a whim and halfway intended to send them back. Once I tried them on, I knew that wasn't happening. They are extremely comfortable and can be dressed up or down. Unlike some similar boots, I find them easy to put on and not too stiff, even the first time I wore them. I have several pairs of Frye Boots and these may now be my favorite.

I LOVE these boots! Based on other reviews - I am wearing them in over a couple of weeks, so have had them on 2-3 hours a day for the last week. The leather is slowly softening to fit my feet, and I have to say apart from some minor rubbing on the front of my foot I haven't experienced any discomfort. They are heavy - be prepared for that and aren't super easy to get off - need some yanking, but hopefully as they wear in they will be easier to remove. I've had compliments on them from my mother-in-law, friends AND my teenage boys so clearly they appeal to everyone :) I live in Maine so they will be well tested in adverse weather! Looking forward to owning these for years to come!

I absolutely love these boots for the good quality leather and comfort and wanted a pair for almost 2 years. I finally bought them and when I got them in the mail and tried them on I was disappointed that they were defected. One boot shaft was almost a half inch higher than the other. I would have expected that they are inspected before they sell them. I am exchanging them for a different pair since I love Frye boots... fingers crossed that the next pair is a keeper!!

I have been looking at these boots for about two years and finally pulled the trigger! I ordered the tan color, and they are beautiful in person. The leather is a rich color and has some difference, but I think it makes the boots look even better! Every time I've worn the boots, they get a ton of compliments. I also like the 12R length is more a mid-calf length (I'm 5'4"). From Day 1 they were very comfortable and I know they will only get better in time. You can't go wrong with Frye and these boots do no disappoint!

I have worn these a few times, I bought them a couple of weeks ago and there is a hard lump underneath the left heal cushion. It is very uncomfortable and I didn't notice it until I wore them outside for a couple hours. Very unfortunate, I wish you would be able to replace them for me. They are a beautiful boot and I own several pairs of Frye boots. Unfortunately a photo will not show the lump in the foot-bed.
