The color is very rich in person. These can be dressed up or dressed down. They make jeans look very professional which is hard to do! I've gotten many compliments on them. The leather is very good quality. They seem like they will last a long time!

Had my mine for over 2.5 years now. After a brief break-in period they mold right to your feet. Ultra comfortable. Look great at work or after hours. I wear them almost everyday so I need some new soles and a good refurbishment but I will have these forever. I like a roomier fit but if I didn't I would order a half size down.

They arrived in the mail today. I took some advice from online and bought them a1/2 size small. Perfect boots. Wore them all day and the gave me no problems at all. Craftsmanship second to none.

Debated on these for months due to price. Ultimately gave in due to the amazing look of them. Still a little shocked on price, simply because I normally don't buy shoes/boots near this price range. But must say they look amazing and are by far the most comfortable boot I own. Right out of the box, they were just as comfortable as tennis shoes. And they continue to get more comfortable as I wear them and break them in. Price aside, I'm so happy I finally made the purchase and only wish I wouldn't have waited so long.

The boots are excellent. Been wearing them daily for about a month now. They definitely run big size-wise, and you'll definitely need an insole, the foot bed is really flat and not terribly padded. But it's quality, that's for sure. Zappos, as usual, got them to me in an instant, I don't know how they do it for free.

These boots are extremely well made and are without a doubt the finest boots that I could find. I wear a size 10½ and after reading a few other reviews I decided to size down half a size. They were too snug and so I reordered my regular size for a perfect fit. I plan on wearing these for two weeks in rainy northern Italy this winter so having a rubber, non-slip sole was a requirement for me. Except for possibly Red Wing, I challenge anyone to find better made boots anywhere. And thanks, Zappos, for your lightning free shipping and very friendly return policy! This is my second purchase for footwear with Zappos this year and you can bet that I will be back for my other needs in the future.

I bought these boots for my son's birthday on Wednesday, and he received them on his birthday on Friday. Excellent service! The guy who took my order, Kurt, I think it was, was so very cool! Very professional but very cordial and helpful. My son "LOVED" the boots, he said... they fit perfectly. He really is enjoying wearing them. Zappos is such a great company with which to do business.

Nice boots. Evenly and accurately stitched throughout. Bought a 1/2 size down and they fit like I'm used to. They are not lined, except for the inside toe box lined with clothe and toe form. But the leather is soft and they break in very quickly, they are very comfortable on the second wearing. The rubber on the soles are hard, they feel and sound like leather healed shoes for the most part. That's really my only gripe, even if just the heel rubber was slightly softer for street/sidewalk walking etc.

I returned the boots since they weren't quite what I was looking for. However, here are a couple of comments that might help others. They run a big large--if I kept them, I would've ordered a half size down. The leather is first class--I'd expect it to hold up well. I'm looking for something a tad more dressy but if you are looking for casual, top-quality boot, this is great.

I've had these for about 1 year. Very well made and I like the style. They take a while to get broke in and if your not used to Frye is a bit of an adjustment. No padding in the sole so you may want an insert. Wish they sold wider widths

One month of wear in them and I'm very satisfied. Made in the USA and generally a good value for the money. I purchased them as a work boot/shoe, but they are quite handsome, so I can imagine wearing them with jeans or chinos on a casual day or evening out. Some of the details aren't so great however. They're only partially lined and they've absolutely no arch support. The profile of the shoe is also quite slim. So, if you want them for all day wear or cold weather, size up half a size to make room for inserts and/or thicker socks.

I sooo wanted to love this boot. I have recently ordered, and unfortunately sent back, several different pairs of Frye boots. This particular boot looks fantastic, made in American and has all of the qualities that I was looking for: lug sole, leather heel, style etc. However the inside of this boot, like the others I have tried lately are just not comfortable. The foot bed is uneven, lumpy in spots. The heel area inside literally has bumps and you can feel the holes where I guess the nail heads are under the liner, just not smooth and comfortable like it should be for a $300 boot. Frye, do you test your products??? Doesn't seem like it to me. The consistency is just not there. The quality of leather is great, the styles are fantastic but the comfort level is missing. Which makes me sad because I so want a pair of Frye boots. I do have some Frye wingtips that I like but it took me several pairs of shoes to find a comfortable set. Come on Frye, where is the comfort?

I really wanted to like this shoe because its a great looking boot but after trying them on, the heel on one of the boots was not level with the rest of the shoe so it literally wobbled and forced my foot to pronate. I couldnt believe that for the price of these boots that i would have this problem. I returned the boots and looked elsewhere.
