Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button

I usually wear a 9.5, but the 9 ended up being the right size. At first I was sure the 9 was too small because at first try I couldn't get it on. When I tried the 9.5 though it felt sloppy. So what you have to do to initially get your size on is wear a knee high or stocking of some sort and point your foot and pull on the boot. Once on, mine did feel snug in the instep, but I could tell my toes had room to move and were not near the front of the boot. After wearing them around for less than an hour the instep felt perfect and they were much easier to get on an off. I got the Grey Antique full grain, and they are like a fawn color. More of a soft brownish grey. They go very well with brown and I am wearing them with black too. It took me a while to find a boot I liked that fit. I am a size 10, with muscular calves. (the wide calf Melissa boot was too big, the regular fit) Pay attention to the shaft height and width to the boots you like and don't like. I wish they made these with a straight top as opposed to the Western scalloped top.

Love these shoes! Normally my shoe size is between a 6.5 and 7 and I bought a 6.5 and they fit perfect! Only took a couple wears to break them in. I would recommend these to everyone! Not good for icy conditions since there is no traction (learned the hard way).

I love these boots. I contemplated them for a very long time then my husband got them for me for my birthday. I wore them for 15 hours straight, running through airports, no break in needed, right out of the box and they were so comfortable. I usually wear 7 1/2 in Frye boots but I got the 8 because they were a tall pull on style and I have a high arch. They are very easy to get on and off. I've worn them barefoot and with smart wool socks and they feel great. I got the antique slate and they are beautiful. I wear them with black, brown and grey. You won't regret it. Zappos rocks!

These boots rock! My first pair of Frye boots and I have to say, great right out of the box. Comfy and I get compliments every time I wear them.

These boots are beautiful and very comfortable! Like most Frye shoes, and leather shoes/boots in general, they take some time to wear in. But once they are worn in they feel great!

These are everything I wanted them to be! The perfect staple leather riding boot, and worth the splurge. I really recommend waterproofing despite the slight change in color, it's not too noticeable. I've worn them in the rain and there are 0 spots, and don't scratch as easily. It's safe to say I am a Frye lover for life now. Will definitely be buying other styles.

Gorgeous boots, have already gotten a ton of compliments on them! They are well made and the style is classic, I will have them for years. That said, it's worth mentioning that the leather on these is VERY stiff out of the box. (I got the dark brown brush-off, size 7 which is my usual size.) The first time I wore them I thought my toes would fall off they hurt so much from the pressure on top of them (they are wide enough-I don't think a size bigger would help)! They do seem to be softening up/stretching a bit with wear, but especially around the toe box the leather just feels very inflexible. Hoping this will resolve with more wear, because otherwise I do love these boots!

I LOVE these boots. After about an hour wearing, they feel as they mold to your foot since the leather is top quality. I'm looking to get another pair, different style but haven't decided yet. Oh and don't buy the cheap leather cleaner/conditioner - spend money or so and get the Frye stuff - it's worth it, makes your boots clean, shiny, and gorgeous.

These are my first pair of Frye boots, although I have been coveting a pair for a long time. The scent of leather wafts out of the box upon opening. The leather is buttery soft. I wear an 8 1/2 and these fit with a little wiggle room for thick socks later on. The calf is roomy enough to stuff my boot-cut jeans in them (couldn't be bothered to run upstairs and change jeans). I am a runner and an equestrian; my legs are not thin. Would now like a pair in brown!

Extremely comfortable and a beautiful color! Obviously too hot for DC summers, but I cannot for Fall to come so I can start wearing them again. I wear a 7.5 and it was true to size!

Love these boots! I usually don't spend so much money on shoes. But these have been worth every penny! They are stylish and comfortable. Will save up for another pair of Fryes!

After wearing $70 boots for the last several years, I finally broke down and decided to buy myself my first pair of real leather boots. I've only had my boots for one day and I can already tell what a big difference they are going to make! As I said before, I usually buy boots for under $100, thinking that they are going to hold up, but they never do. I was tired of replacing them every 4-5 months. From fall until spring, my go to shoes are boots, all day, everyday. I wear boots more than any other pair of shoes I own. I decided to go with the Melissa Button in Cognac because I love the easy, pull-on style and since I have runner's calves, anything with zippers is an automatic no for me. I chose the cognac because I've always gotten dark boots and wanted to try a lighter color this time around. When I first put the boots on, I almost couldn't get my left foot and leg into it, but, from reading the reviews, I new if I wore them around the house, they would stretch. I also wore them to work to help stretch them out more. The only thing I would say needs some work is the arch support. I'm finding that these boots don't really have any, but I've always had to go out and by insoles so it's not a huge issue for me. I also bought the Frye's weatherproof cream that I'll be testing out shortly. In all, I'm very happy with these boots and can say this won't be my last pair! I plan to get a pair in dark brown and in black...when I have the funds! Now if only I had a horse!

These boots are my favorite that I've ever had! Beautiful, classic style. The leather, that the cognac comes in, is unbelievably soft and supple which makes them extremely comfortable and gorgeous. They seem to melt onto your feet and legs. I absolutely love them! My favorite boots I've ever owned and I'm 60, so I've owned a few! I conditioned the leather to protect it with Frye's Weatherproof dressing (not the Waterproof dressing with mink oil). It did not darken the leather. Since I've learned that Frye will recondition the boots if they ever need it, hopefully these are the last boots I'll need to buy! Superior quality definitely makes them worth the price!

Love Frye boots. Very stylish and durable. Always high quality leather and workmanship. Outstanding customer service by Zappos. First time Zappos shopper and will definitely be a return customer.

I love the fit, the look and the quality. You get exactly what you see. This is a classic riding boot, well made and comfortable.

I am a true blue Frye girl. This is my 5th pair. They're definitely a luxury, but well worth the money! I live in Colorado where it could be sunny, raining or snowing any day and I need shoes that can hold up. Also it's worth it to me because boots are all I wear! I'm 5'3, so I'm not a huge fan of boots without heels, but this style boot is an essential for any wardrobe. They're classic and can be casual or dressed up! The leather and craftsmanship is unbeatable. I'm looking forward to wearing these with jeans, shorts, skirts or dresses - I know my feet will enjoy the break from my every day heel that I typically wear! For girls that are looking for a heeled look, I HIGHLY recommend the Frye Jackie - for something more wide legged, I would recommend the Frye Jane. I have the Jackie in black and cognac and they're perfect for any type of occasion. The Frye Jane I have in brush off brown and I love them for when I'm wearing jeans that are flared or not skinny. Zappos is always the best and I don't think I'll ever order from anywhere else. My order took a few days to go through but once it did it came the very next day!

Love my Melissa button boots in cognac, a beautiful brown with golden tones. I've been waiting for over a year to buy them, and once I put them on, they fit perfectly from day 1. Frye is a great product, all leather, and so comfortable! Surprised they were made in Mexico, not USA.

The perfect boot. I ordered a size 9.5 B & the fit was true to size. Comfortable to wear all day and the leather is beautiful. I would recommend.
