Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button

I will never buy another pair of boots that is not Frye. I am going on my fifth pair! But I live in New York City and no other boots were able to withstand the concrete jungle like Frye. They all are a bit hard to get off, but are so comfortable and high quality that I do not mind breaking a little sweat to pull them off. If you are looking for expensive looking boots, that will last for years and years, this brand is for you!

Love these boots! These are one of the most comfortable and stylish pair of shoes/boots I've owned. True to size I felt the boot was a bit snug, went up a half size and can comfortably wear a wool sock in them. These boots are well worth the money.

Love these boots. Have had them for a few months, nice leather, worth the money. Can wear with jeans or a dress.

So, I spent months agonizing over this purchase. Despite all the reviews here and from my friends swearing they're worth the money, it's not like you often have an extra money lying around. But, I finally took the plunge and treated myself for my birthday. I couldn't decide between the cognac, brown soft and saddle. Based on some helpful advice from the Zappos team, I went with the cognac, and they are beautiful. Exactly what I was looking for, not too stiff not too slouchy and the perfect brown color that goes with everything. Maybe a teeny hint of reddish color in them, but only just. Exactly as pictured here. The leather smells wonderful and the soles are perfect. I ordered a half size too small based on the advice of a friend, so I would say that you should size up a half size from your normal flat. For instance, I wear a 6 in flip flops and sandals, a 6.5 in flats like Sperrys, a 7 in high heels and a 7.5 in sneakers. A 6.5 was just too tight, but the 7 went on smoothly. The exchange from Zappos was easy and fast. Here is my one issue: They. Hurt. I wore them around for a bit when I first got them to break up the bottom because they are slick on carpet and tile. I didn't feel any pain, so I decided to wear them to work. I walk about a mile to and from my office, and by the time I got to work in the morning, my heels were bleeding and my toes were screaming. The walk home seemed like a nightmare. Maybe I needed more time to break them in before such a long walk, but I'm kinda disappointed since I read basically every review on here and they all raved about how they never want to take these boots off. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they just need more breaking in and they'll get better with time, because I won't be able to wear them if this keeps up, and since I've already scratched up the bottoms I would feel too guilty returning them.

These are wonderful boots. The leather is thick, yet soft and buttery. They fit me well, and my feet are a bit wide. The leather conforms to your feet really well after a couple of wearings. I feel like I will be wearing these boots for many years, as they are beautiful, classic and top quality. With all of the footwear we dispose of after one year, I can't imagine why anyone would pass these practical, fashionable, timeless, gorgeous and beautiful pair of riding boots. Get them!

After a 10-year search, I finally found my dream boots. The picture didn't catch my eye, but I tried them on in a store and immediately fell for them. They're a little snug at first (rubbed my little toes the first two times I wore them), but quickly molded to my feet/legs and are completely perfect and amazingly comfortable. I love that there's no zipper or significant detailing, the silhouette speaks for itself.

Having so many color choices, I felt a little indecisive at first going back and forth between the Cognac, Brown and Bordeaux colors. I wanted a boot that would be versatile and wear easily. With a little convincing by my sister, I finally settled on the Brown color because they were the exact color as the boots I am replacing with this purchase. First off, I have to say this is my first pair of Frye boots. I have been aware of the company for many years, but due to my 15in. calves, I have never been able to find a pair that fit. This exact model, the Melissa Button, fits perfectly around my calves, not too snug but with no room to spare. I also find these to run true to size in my usual size 9. The color is a tad bit lighter than pictured, but not so grossly misinterpreted that I would send them back. I just received them today in the mail, but have been wearing them non-stop since they arrived and the comfort level is great. I haven't even noticed that I've been wearing shoes the majority of the day. I cannot comment on arch support, because I usually never have problems with the arches of my feet and this is not a determining factor when I purchase shoes. These boots are a little tight when pulling them on initially, but because they are leather, with more wear they will stretch to fit well. I think once I save enough money, I will definitely purchase a pair in the Black color and possibly the Bordeaux.

Love these boots! I found that they fit true to size and are quite comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on them.

These boots are everything I have heard online and more! :) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! One word of caution is that they do take time to break in...as they initially are hard to get on and off. These boots do stretch, but they are true to size so they do not stretch a whole bunch. They are really comfortable once worn a few times & had time to stretch to your leg/foot. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for these boots. And they do not go on sale...hardly ever, so get these Melissa Button Frye boots today!

I love these boots. I didn't know which color to get, so I ordered the dark brown and the brown. I stuck with the brown. The dark brown was just too dark. But still a great boot! I ordered a 9.5 and it fit perfectly.

Love my boots. A little hard to get on at first but getting much better These boots are worth every penny. Love the color. True to size.

I have been on the search for a "perfect" pair of black riding boots for quite a while and I have finally found them in the Frye Melissa boots - extended calf. I tried several designer boots and they would just not zip up. I ordered these thinking the same thing, but I have plenty of room to tuck in my skinny jeans. These boots are super comfortable & the perfect height (I am 5'8") that I wanted. Today is my first day wearing them and I have received a ton of compliments. I am going to New York City next week for Christmas & I can't wait to rock these!

After fitting on many different boots in various stores, I finally decided to give these a go after reading the reviews, and am glad I did. This is a simple classic style which you can pull on and feel comfortable in, without looking like you're trying too hard. I have already had several people stop to ask where I got them. Agree with other reviewers that the gorgeous leather feel and smell are a bonus. I got the 'dark brown soft vintage' leather. What I'm happiest about though is the ankle fit. Some of the other boots I tried previously looked good in store, but while walking in them at home, frustratingly had the tendency to looking 'bulgy' around the ankles, perhaps because my legs and ankles are thin. These however kept their shape and looks like they will continue to do so. As far as size and comfort, my usual size is between 6-7 so debated between 6, 6.5 and 7. 7 was way too big and I finally kept the 6.5 to use with socks and a thin insole. They haven't stretched out much so I'm glad I stuck with them. I wouldn't say they are cushy since the sole is leather, but certainly comfortable enough to walk around in for say 4 hours without discomfort. In case anyone is also trying to decide between sizes, there was a much bigger difference between the 6.5 and the 7, than between the 6 and 6.5. Finally I have to say Zappos customer service was great, they were very patient and helpful while I was trying to decide on the correct size!

I stared at these boots for a year before finally taking the plunge and buying them. I'm normally not one to buy expensive clothes or shoes for myself, but these boots are 100% worth it! I'm so pleased with these boots, and on top of the great product Zappos, as everyone knows, provides top notch customer service. Saving my pennies until I can buy a second pair of Fryes!

Love these boots. They fit true to size (I wear an 8.5 or 9 and ordered a 9). The distressed leather is an excellent quality. The boot looks fabulous with jeans or leggings. They are super comfortable - I walked all over NYC in them and my feet didn't hurt at all. Frye quality can't be beat. Zappos has the best return policy too. I ordered another pair of Frye's that didn't fit and they refunded my money right away. I love Zappos!

I have had these boots for about five months now and they are only getting better. When I first got them, they felt a little stiff and I wasn't sure how they would break in but they are amazing! It took a lot for me to summon the courage to purchase these boots because of the price point, but they are definitely worth it. The leather is gorgeous and so well made. Zappos customer service is amazing. I originally ordered the antique brown full grain leather but decided that I wanted to see how the dark brown brush off leather looked and they sent me another pair without charging me so that I could test them both out. I ended up keeping the antique brown because I really like the richness of the brown. Overall, a great purchase! Thanks zappos!

I love this boot! The only thing I will say is I had to buy a half size larger than I normally would've in a boot.

Frye boots are amazing and these do not disappoint. The style is super relaxed and casual, but enhances everything you where them with. The chocolate vintage leather has a distressed look and feel and goes well with boot jeans, skinny jeans and skirts. Very comfortable with plenty of toe and calf room.

I have been wanting these boots for years! I received them as a surprise from my husband for my birthday this year. The boots, while gorgeous, are made for a tall and thin calved lady. Not someone with a 5'5' soccer player build. The boots wouldn't fit with skinny jeans. The sole also hurt my high arches. However, they look gorgeous in the box and the leather is to die for! So back they go.

These are my second pair of Frye boots from Zappos. My first pair, Shirley Riding, continues to get compliments from everytime I wear them, even the clerk at Nordstrom commented on them when I was there last week. I wanted a black pair this year, again in a flat. I put these on the day they arrived and like the Shirly Riding, these stayed on for a full week. With the button tab they are easy to take off and on. Very comfortable for all day wear. Looks great with skinny jeans or under a nice boot leg jean too. Invest in a great pair of boots, it is well worth it.

LOVE these boots. They even look better in person. They fit really well and never give me blisters even with sporadic wear. I got a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear at a friend's suggestion who buys Frye boots often and they fit perfect.

Love my Frye boots! Was nervous due to the cost but after a month of wear, they seem to be worth it! I have muscular calves, have had difficulties with other brands. Loved that even though I purchased them on a Saturday night, they had arrived by Monday.
