Customer Reviews Frye Engineer 15R

These boots are gorgeous in person. I got Gaucho and it is a beautiful dark brown that will wear nicely over the years. I am normally a size 7 in boots (size 6-6.5 in flats and sandals). I got both the 7.5 and 7 to try after reading the reviews. The 7.5s were big, but still hard to get on. The 7s were even more difficult to get on initially but they softened up and now it's easier. They are super roomy. I can wear thick socks with them and still have some wiggle room. The heel slip on my right foot (which is slightly smaller) is annoying with thinner socks, but I may just get a heel backing to put on it and make it fit a little better. I probably could have gotten the 6.5s and stretched them out, but they would have been way too small initially. I'm hoping my 7s won't stretch very much because they are perfect (if a tad too big) right now. Also, the buckles at the instep are so helpful. I adjust based on what socks I'm wearing & get a better fit. Overall, these boots are gorgeous, tough but not too, and incredibly comfortable (if you get the right fit, which is hard). I would definitely recommend ordering a couple different sizes if you can, because they are tricky to size correctly.

Ordered on Monday. Received Tuesday morning! Great customer service. Loved the boots! Too bad that they were a bit too tight on the calf. I am a rather slim woman (but a runner) and normally don't think of myself as having big calves, so was pretty surprised to find they were so tight. They were truly 14" at the top so I strongly suggest that you measure your calf at the largest part before ordering. I am returning them and going with the 12R's. Even though I am returning them, I am giving all 5 stars because if they had fit the calf area, these would be simply perfect.

I love this boot, comfortable right out of the box, perfect thickness in the leather, great height. These are the best. Great with tights, dresses, jeans so flexible. And Zappos? Well, I can't say enough great stuff about them. My 2 favorite things Zappos and Disneyland: both know how to give the best customer service and still want to do more. I see lots of holiday shopping on Zappos in my future.

Love, Love, Love these boots! Got them in gaucho and the color is fantastic! Was worried about what size to order, but after reading many of the reviews I went with my regular size and it is a great fit. They are a little hard to get on, but I was expecting that. Think they will need some breaking in but they are so beautiful I will be a pleasure. Like many reviewers, this is a lot for me to spend, but once you see the craftsmanship it is well worth it. Also wanted to mention that they have just the right amount of heel. As for Zappos, I had them at my door less then 24 hours from ordering for free, doesn't really get any better than that.

This is a great, timeless boot that will last many years. I've had fun wearing them so far with skirts and leggings. It's the perfect height for me, hits under the knee. When I wear knee-length socks underneath they peek out the top an inch or two which I like. They do take some breaking in; wore them with thick socks so they were very snug, but that protected me from blisters. I find now that they're getting a little softer I can wear a slightly thinner sock and they're comfortable. Be prepared to break them in though, they're leather and need so soften up. Sizing: I am usually an 8.5 but ordered a 9 because the reviews said the boots run small. The 9s were way too huge and I had to return them for an 8.5, which fit great. I'd recommend ordering your usual size. Color: I ordered the dark brown and like the way they look, it's dark enough to match with many things.

This is my second pair of Frye boots (I own the harness boots and several pairs of heels). I've loved Frye's for years and these definitely live up to the high quality that I've come to expect from this company. I normally wear a size 9, which is what I ordered and they fit well. I might exchange them for a smaller size just to see if I can get an even better fit. Very attractive shoe which can take a lot of abuse and I'm sure they'll stay looking great for a long time!
