Love these boots! Bought them in Tan a few years ago and wear them almost daily in the fall/winter. Just ordered the Charcoal as well! The fit is perfect and although they are roomy in the heel area, that's comfortable to me. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Charcoal pair!

I have several frye boots and these seem to go with anything. I wear 8 1/2 and had to go down to an 8. The more you wear the better they look!

I have two pair of these boots and love them! But this pair has a weird waxy residue bubbling up all over the boot. It scrapes off in a disgusting yellow wax.

I had coveted these boots for several years before finally getting them in December 2014. They are amazing! Frye has spoiled me on boots for the rest of my life. Super well made (made in USA!), I feel like I could go work on a ranch in these boots. (But I'm actually just feeling super cool walking my city streets.) I have a narrow foot and its rare to find boots that fit. When I first got them, I felt like there was too much extra space in the heel area and my heel was moving around a lot but now I realize that was part of the 'breaking in' process. They felt comfortable from the beginning and have only gotten more so with time. If you have been eyeing these boots for awhile...get 'em! They are so worth the money.

These are my third pair of Frye's and they did not disappoint!! I wear them all the time and they go with every color and every outfit. They are so versatile and comfortable. Frye boots are well worth the investment!

Perfect durable boot. Heavy duty, high quality leather. Comfy and needed NO break in time. A little heel slippage on the first wearing but by the end of first day I wore them they felt perfectly comfortable and I am a bank teller on my feet for 8 hours a day. They can be dressed up or down...I wear mine with dresses and skirts. A classic timeless boot that will never go out of style.

I am sill wearing the tan oiled Frye boots that I bought in Philadelphia 22 years ago. Mine have Vibram soles and they are still as awesome as the day I bought them.

These boots are amazing! I have wide feet, and the square toe gives my feet plenty of room without making them look long. The leather is tough and gorgeous, feel like I could trek through muddy puddles and they look great with skinny jeans and dresses. Love!

I bought this pair after two other frye boots and a pair of pumps. I read a lot of reviews before making the purchase. my previous frye boots were true to size (7) and despite a lot of other reviews that recommended a half size smaller, I purchases size 7 and in Tan. the color is close to the picture, and I would say even prettier. I had a tough time getting my feet in, and once in there was a good amount of slippage. I wore the boots in the house (and was recommended by other reviewers) for a couple of hours for two days and then was able to get my feet in with a normal weight (not too thick or thin) socks on-and walked in them (in the house) for another day before I finally decided that this the right size for me. I wore them out last night and my feet felt fully comfortable in them. These boots, as others have mentioned, are so comfortable that I can imagine that they become my everyday boots/shoes. I love the color, and the feel of these boots-they are pretty and stylish. As a final note, I have a medium size (not too wide or narrow) feet and my calves are on rather small/thin. there is plenty of space for my skinny jeans to get tucked in the boots.

I have had these boots for about three years now. Best investment I have ever made. These boots look brand new! The bottom of the shoe is not slippery like the riding boots. If you're thinking of buying these boots, do it! They are super comfy and not many people have the chocolate, distressed ones. :)

Excellent boot, true to color, quality grain leather, perfect fit. Remarkably quick Zappos shipment, even during the Christmas rush. Best price available, as well.

I ordered the smoke color but they arrived in grey, think they were in wrong box. Ordered in size 7.5, but no problem with Zappos, promptly exchanged for correct color & I sized down half a size. Arrived in 24 hours! Amazing. They were a little narrow so I reordered again in a 7.5 & this pair fit fabulous, nothing like the 7.5 in the grey which felt more like a size 8. Finally got the perfect pair & I love them & there is no company as fantastic as Zappos! Not sure if my UPS man thinks so. I will continue to shop at Zappos, they still continue to amaze me & I'm always encouraging people to shop with them.

These are great boot that are very well made with supple leather. I am usually a size 7½ (8 in some boots) I first ordered the harness 12R in size 7 because after reading the reviews I realized that they ran large. Once I got the 7 I thought they fit pretty well but my heel lifted up way too much, a little bit is normal but this was too much heel lift - I could not run in the boots so I returned them and tried the 6½ on at a store. That fits much better. There is a little heel slippage which is good and of course the front is very tight but will break in and become very comfortable. I must add that they are hard to get on but that changes over time. I was shocked at how large they run - I went a whole size and a half down from 7½-8 to a 6½. I would recommend going down a whole size.

Fabulous color! Love these boots! I normally wear an 8 in Frye but the 7 1/2 fit better in this style. A more narrow type fit across the toe I think due to style, so probably not for a wide foot. A break in period is recommended - so I haven't taken them off! Great boot!

My wonderful mom bought these for me for Christmas and I just got them in the mail today. I never want to take them off! I always wanted Frye boots but these stood out to me because of how unique these are. Mine are slightly darker than the website photo and they are a little tight around the toes but with wear they will look and feel amazing. I can't wait to have them broke in. Best pair of shoes I own!! The photo uploader is not working for me, but mine are very similar to the other review- the tan parts on the toe and such are just darker.

I've had these boots for 5 years and I have worn them out to the desert, Black Rock City Burning Man 3 years in a row...in the snow in NE winters and all over South Florida and the Caribbean with skirts, jeans, shorts...you name it. The most gorgeous pair of boots I have ever owned. I adored them. I have had 100's of people ask me about these boots. I was traveling this year and some how one boot went missing. I'm buying a new pair right now! That doesn't change how I feel about the loss. I was absolutely devastated. I loved how they fit and felt when I wore them. I'm 5'8" and the boot was perfect height on my legs. Once they were broken in and worn from use they looked even more gorgeous. I kept the one stray boot! How crazy is that?! Buy a pair you will have them for life...if you don't lose one.

This boot is consistent with my other four pair I've purchased. They are comfortable, structured, and built to last. The oil slip outsole just happens to be a plus to this fashion statement. However, If you have a low instep like I do the harness strap is not functional to tighten. Otherwise, it is very true to length fit. I would not do a half size down unless you were narrow, flat footed/low instep, or in between sizes.

I bought these as a gift for my daughter. Having read all the positive reviews, I was sure that she would like them. She did but, they do not fit. She has problems with her feet and the boots were painful for her. No fault with the boots, just her bad feet.

I have been watching these boots over the years, and talking myself out of paying the cost. I'm so glad I decided to break down and buy them! They are my favorite boots! And so worth the cost. I did order 1/2 size down, as the reviews suggested and they fit perfect. This color is a good rugged brown that can go with brown or black. And, they are not too wide in the calf (I have small calves). These are well worth the money! I will have these for years!

After coveting these boots for some time, I finally got them as a early Christmas present! The boots shipped right away and arrived exactly on time. I ordered the smoke color and it is perfect! Just distressed enough to be beautiful, not at all worn-out looking. The picture here is pretty exact to the actual color. The craftsmanship is outstanding and looks like it will last forever. I love the smell of leather and these boots deliver! Absolutely worth every penny! I ordered true to size, which is a good thing because a half size down would have been WAY too tight across my foot. I don't wear wide shoe sizes, but perhaps my foot is wider than most. The boot shaft is comfortably snug but not too tight. my skinny jeans fit down inside them. They are amazingly comfortable right out of the box, so I can't wait to feel them when they are broken in a bit. Overall I am beyond happy with my purchase and they are my new favorite boots!!!!!

These are amazing! I ordered them and got these beauties in 2 days. The leather is Top notch quality. The soles, heel, stitching and harness are amazing. I have an arthritic heel, as a result from two (old) sprains. I wasn't sure if my ankle would make it through the boot without a zipper but with the help of the pull tabs, my feet went right in! I wear a 9 shoe and usually get a size 9 1/2 boot and ordered these in a 9 1/2. They are perfect! A little room in the toe and the heel doesn't slip and slide. A wonderful addition to my Frye collection!

I bought these after years of coveting my sisters pair, they are so comfy not sure if I can wear them with skinny jeans yet because my left leg is a little bigger than my right but I am going to give it a shot tomorrow. So thrilled with my purchase I couldn't be happier

LOVE! Worth every penny. First pair arrived and the appearance of the boots did not match. I called and within 24 hours a new pair were at my door! It did not take long to break in the leather. I have to force myself to wear other shoes because I want to wear these every day!
