Customer Reviews Frye Billy Shorts

Ok, I was a bit wary due to the many comments on fit not being right in this particular style. I was planning to give these but ended up giving them to myself! I just love them. They are a little roomy with a thin sock but I think that's a good thing. Love the fit, comfort, and style! I bought the cognac and it's a perfect, burnished shade of cognac that will work with everything I wear. No breaking in was needed. And customer service was wonderful since I ordered these over the phone. I'm so thrilled, and know I will wear these often. These are a winner!

These are beautiful boots, but I am an 8 to 8 1/2, I ordered the 8 1/2 and could not get either foot into them. I am not even sure if ordering the 9 would make much of a difference. Too bad, they are really nice boots. And of course Zappos is the best.

I usually wear a size 8, sometimes 8 1/2. I ordered these in 8 1/2 and I can't tell if they feel good on your feet because I cannot get them on at all! Too bad because they are just beautiful, but they are going back today. So sad!

Zappos, you rock! I have never seen such fast shipping. Love these boots but order 1/2 size up or you won't be able to get your foot in them. Leather is soft and pliable. Perfect for my needs. Love you Zappos. (:

First I must say Zappos customer service is spectacular! I wear a size 8 but when buying boots I thought to buy a half size down in case they stretch a bit. Well when I received the size 7 1/2 they wouldn't go on my foot. I called Zappos the same day the shoes were delivered and they overnighted me a size 8 without having returned the 7 1/2 first. All Zappos asked was that I return the 7 1/2 within 14 days. WOW! I will pick Zappos over any other online retailer out there. And the boots... too cool. Just order true to size. And after a day of getting used to them, they feel great on your foot!

These boots are amazing! They’re more beautiful than the photos. The redwood color is a rich reddish brown. I ordered the size 7. I have wide feet and was a bit worried that they would be too narrow. They actually fit a tiny bit big but I think ordering a 6 1/2 would be too small. I’m definitely keeping these!

I read reviews suggesting to size up a half size but that particular size was sold out so I ended up ordering my actual size 7. It fit true to size. Love the black billy boot which matches all black, brown and blue jeans. These boots are great with skinny jeans, boot cut jeans, leggings, dresses and shorts. They are real leather and the distressed look is cool. I was worried about putting my foot in the boot and taking it out. But not a problem and I hope it just gets easier as I wear them. Highly recommended.

Based on the other reviews, I ordered a half size up and the fit is perfect. Love the red color. Really comfortable.

I love the look of the Frye Billy Short but they just did not fit perfect for me. I've tried a half-size up (9) and that was actually too big. I run between 8-8 1/2 in Frye and 8 1/2 would have been my choice Billy. My opinion is that if you are BETWEEN sizes, size UP, but I think it might be less than a half-size up. It is a narrower/pointy toe box which has awesome look, but just not the room my toes need. If I would have kept them I think I would have loved them. But also noting that the bottom is smooth (not rubber like the Harness 8R) I made my final decision to go with the Harness 8R--An equally awesome look but a little more versatile with the rubber sole.

When I first ordered these I went w/the folks who said to order up a half size. Big mistake! I now hv my usual size 7, & when I put these boots on they fit like they were made to order. Color is the burnt red & it is delicious!

I couldn't have done this exchange without the awesome Customer Service Representative Diane. The fit is perfect and the boots are wonderful! Thank you Zappos!

This boot has quite a few negative reviews for running small so I considered going a half size up because of the comments, but in the end I decided to risk ordering my normal size. The boots fit perfectly and I had absolutely no issues getting them on. I got the Black Full Grain Brush Off color so maybe other colors/types of leathers fit differently. I love that they are distressed and have an "edgy rock star" shape without any stitching on the toe. I'm taking a star off for comfort because I could feel a bumpy ridge rubbing on the bottom of my right foot after wearing them for several hours. They are slightly less comfortable than some other Frye boots I own and less comfortable than Dan Post boots on first wear. I think they'll be great after a little breaking in.

I have pure size 7 UK and was very concerned what should I choose according US size chart. I checked Frye's website, they have 7 UK to 9 US, but after reading all these reviews, I decided to take 9.5 US. Well, I have a little difficulty to put it on, but inside size 9.5 runs wide. Therefore, these boots runs true to the original Frye's size chart, they definitely not suitable for women with a High Medial Arch...how to check put your foot into a ballerina's position (heel up - toes down) and measure with a tape measure around your heel and the Medial Arch...if it much more then 12 inches or 30 sm, you would have a great difficulty to put on these boots of any size, because Billy boots have a standard product measurement for all sizes. About me, I have decided to keep my wide boots and I am going to wear them with a medium thickness sock, which for an autumn season is alright

I bought the Smoke Old Town/Navajo in a size 7. I am a 6.5 typically and I am happy that I got a half size up they would have been too tight in a 6.5. These boots look so cute and are beyond comfortable. I can wear them all day walking and they are great!

Beautiful boots. They are true to size. I ordered a six and it fit like any of my other size 6 shoes. Some reviews have stated they are difficult to get on. I personally haven't had any trouble. They slip on fairly easily and slip off easily for me.

I love this boot! I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 and tend to have a narrow heel. I got the 8.5 and it fit perfectly. I ordered the taupe, but had second thoughts after reading the great reviews about the grey boot. I wanted something a little more brown that would still go with black. The taupe is perfect. I love the color and I would say that it's true to the photo. I was worried that it may be too obviously "two-toned", but it wasn't at all. I took them on vacation the day after they arrived and I walked around all day in them. I found them to be very comfortable. I have no problem slipping them on and off. Keep in mind these are cowboy boots. If you are looking for great arch support, you may want to consider another style or just put inserts in them. It's a great boot - very attractive and great quality. I highly recommend these boots!

Fabulous boot. Wish I had ordered a 1/2 size bigger. Cannot wait to wear with skinny jeans and skirts.

These boots are so cute. They are tough to get on at first. I use a plastic bag on my heel to help. Once on, they feel great.

I am not a big shopper. And historically shoes are the last thing I would buy online because every shoe fits differently and I would never pay for shipping when I knew in advance that my chance for satisfaction was small. But I decided I really wanted these shoes- a birthday gift to myself. And I needed them by the weekend. So I first tried them on in several shoe stores. Each pair fit differently. Each size 7 1/2 fit differently. I wanted taupe, and could only find taupe in 1 store, and they did not fit at all. But I hoped that if I could try on several sized 7 1/2 taupe, MAYBE one would fit. Where else to turn? So Zappos gave me free overnight shipping, guaranteed free return- plus they are pleasant to speak with and most people know their products. Next day air. Perfect fit. Zappos comes through, again.

I LOVE these boots. I have terrible bunion problems and was concerned that the pointy toe might create a problem- but NO; no problem!!! There was plenty of room. I ordered my regular size, which is a 10M- I measure less, but always end up ordering a half size up because of the bunions. They are comfortable to wear even walking for long periods of time; they are both casual and "classy" in an atypical way. I like the "arty" look and these fit in perfectly. I wore them with a grey dress and sparkling jewelry and received many compliments. I wish I could afford them in other colors because they are wonderful.

Love these boots!!! I originally order by regular size which is a 7 but they were too tight in the toes. I went to a 7 1/2 and they are great! Just what I wanted:)

Great boots. Just like pictured, good fit. Was not disappointed. Pricey, but all Frye boots are.

Been "flirting" with these boots for a while now, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it online but wasn't sure whether they would fit me or if they would look good on my feet. I have to say that after my boots arrived, I fell in love with them even more (I purchased the gray ones.) The leather is so nice and soft, the smell of leather is so good and they are oh so comfortable, didn't have any problem getting them on or off. I bought my regular size 6 1/2 and they fit perfectly. They look good with leggings (am wearing them today with black leggings) but I wanna wear them with skirts and dresses. My legs are a bit too thin but I love these boots so much I am sure they'll look good anyway!!! First time Frye buyer and a very happy one. A little too pricey but awesome quality and very cute!!!
