Customer Reviews Frye Oliver Chukka

These are the best looking, least comfortable shoes I've ever had. After wearing these shoes for a few months I was hoping the sole would wear in to provide a lot of comfort, but instead it started falling apart. The foam at the front of the insole (by your toes) starting falling off and the heel of the shoe wore to the next layer of the sole only after 2 weeks. This is consistent too, because I replaced a pair thinking it was a defect and the same thing happened again in the same time frame. Long story short - the shoes look great, don't count on durability if you plan on walking with them. (Wait, aren't they shoes? Yep.)

Very poor construction, bought two pair and within one year first pair had upper separate from sole. Grossly overvalued, made in Mexico.

Very nice, good quality and comfortable but heel is slipping out and I will have to return them. They need another eyelet to prevent this.

The biggest problem with these shoes is that after wearing them for a week or so they looked like total garbage. I bought the ones in "Dark Brown Full Grain Leather." The uppers creased badly, even in the toe, and the leather puckered all over. The soles spread and deformed at the edges, and the "rubber overlays for added traction" came unglued. When I complained about them to a friend of mine he said "they look like you stole them from a homeless person." This was not the look I was going for, and not what I expected from a pair of shoes at this price.

Very stylish shoe, but be careful with the fit. It will feel right at first, but then destroy your foot. I ordered a half-size smaller than my actual size after the suggestions of the other reviewers. My heel slid just ever so slightly when moving, but I figured this was natural from what the other reviewers said. If you heel slides any return them though. I wore mine outside once and the leather quickly stretched, making my heel slide more than it naturally should. My heel got sore very fast, and the bottom has a flaky stuff on it that wore off within a minute of walking, making them nonreturnable. Wasted a lot of money. If you get these, make sure you heel does not slide even the slightest, or it will get unbearably bad after the first time you walk in them and I recommend ordering a full size smaller.
