Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button

These are my 2nd pair of Frye boots and I love them! I usually wear a US 6 in regular shoes and I wear a 6 in Frye as well. The fit is perfect with a regular sock, but also has enough room for thicker winter socks as well. I have small calves and find that these fit nicely without gapping too much. I purchased the Black Vintage leather color. This is a nice black color almost leaning towards dark charcoal. It has a nice not-too-shiny finish which I like. If you are looking for a black-black boot with a shiny finish, I'd go with the Black Brush Off leather. When the boots arrived, they were covered in the white, waxy "bloom" which made them appear much lighter. I just wiped them off with a dry cloth and then rubbed in some of the Frye Leather Conditioning cream (another product I highly recommend) and that took care of the "bloom". Overall very happy with these and glad I finally found the perfect pair of black boots to wear with leggings and jeans.

After reading other reviews, I was prepared to find these boots difficult to get on since I have high arches, but, Wow, it proved almost impossible! I found some tall thin socks and pushed and pushed and finally got my feet into them and it was well worth it! They are fantastic. After taking them on and off several times I am finding that each time requires less effort. If you love the look of these boots and have high arches, my advice is not to give up! The color Cognac is beautiful. I can't wait to wear them all winter.

Love these boots! My 1st Frye and I'm hooked. The leather is gorgeous and very well made. Had to use slippery socks since I have a high arch but easy to pull on. They are super comfy and perfect height/ width. I am 5'4" and a size 8 1/2. I have athletic calves so I was worried but they fit perfect. Worth every penny! I ordered the dark brown vintage leather. Also ordered the dark brown soft vintage and they were too dark and too narrow. Kept the regular vintage. I really want another pair!

I love these boots. They are gorgeous and were comfortable the first time I put them on and get even more comfortable every time I wear them. I feel guilty about neglecting all my other boots in favor of these! They are well worth the price. I wear them with jeans, leggings, skirts, dresses, you name it, they work. Now I have my eye on the Harlow campus boots.

Beautiful boots. They are everything everybody says. Wore them for 12 hours the first time and felt good on my feet all day.

I've been eyeing Frye boots for years, and my husband surprised me with these for our anniversary (he's a keeper!). They are gorgeous, so comfortable, and classic. I originally ordered a different color, but sent them back for these. They're a rich brown matte finish, not too light or dark. I wore them with an orange dress to a wedding at a ranch and they looked perfect! I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 and the Frye 8 fits me perfectly. I have small calves, but these don't gap too much. Highly recommended.

After ordering a half size down and agonizing over the still present heel slippage, I decided to take the chance and keep the shoes rather than ordering a full size down. Verdict? I probably could have handled a half size smaller but the leather does mold to your feet and the slippage has minimized after several nights of heavy dancing. The leather has stretched as well, hence my assumption a full size smaller would have worked. These boots are beautiful and well made - there's no argument they're well worth the money. I wore them out of the box, sans socks, and was able to dance/walk/spin/skip in comfort all night long. A slight hot spot appeared from friction but the leather has continued to soften and a bandaid does the trick while my feel get adjusted to being fully covered. Great purchase - I'm a Frye fan for life!

I just received the vintage leather chocolate and love them. I didn't even attempt to put them on without the plastic bag trick having owned Frye's in the past. I range between an 8.5-9 and ordered an 8.5 which fit perfectly. They are absolutely beautiful and can't wait to show them off! I'm rockin' them in my P.J's right now and I don't care. Don't be apprehensive - just order them. You will wear them forever and the more beat up they get the better they look and more comfortable they become.

Better than expected. I have been looking for a cowboy boot and couldn't find one that fit comfortably. The fit is perfect, not bulky at all. I am a true size 8 and the size 8 I ordered fit perfectly. Would not recommend sizing down! Would buy more in additional colors.

I am delighted with these boots. They look great with skirts, or with pants tucked in, or with just the foot showing beneath jeans. The antique gray, which I chose only because black was not available at the time I ordered, has proven to be a wonderful choice--better than black! It is what I would call taupe, and is very versatile. No arch support, which would usually cause me problems, but these have been fine. SmartWool socks are helpful in that regard.

The boots are a great fit. I have a high instep so it is hard to find slip on boots. These are perfect and very comfortable. I would highly recommend them to any one who likes to walk in thier boots.

I purchased these in a size 8, they are true to size, comfortable, look fantastic. I love them, super happy with my purchase. They are not cheap, most expensive boots I've ever owned, but I don't regret it for a second. Worth every penny!

I got these boots yesterday and am wearing them today. They fit fabulously out of the box. I ordered the tan; they will go well with all my dresses and skirts this spring and summer.

I love these boots. They are very well made and are really comfortable. They seem to be true size. They are a must for your wardrobe.

These are amazing boots! I love them! They are so comfy! And everyone loves them.

I love these boots! I had a little trouble with the first pair having glue on the sole, so I exchanged them, and the second pair had a button/rivet come off, so I exchanged them again, but the 3rd time's a charm! I love Fryes, and this style is so great. I kept coming back because I love Fryes so much! The fit is true to size, and once they get a little worn in and molded/stretched to your foot they couldn't be more perfect!

I love these boots. I've had them for a year now. They look great and are extremely comfortable.

Love these boots! I had to reorder a half size smaller, but now they're perfect! They also required a little breaking in.

Love these boots! I researched several different styles of Frye boots, and chose this one because I was looking for a more fitted boot at the calf and this one had great reviews and a classic look. After reading a ton of reviews regarding size, comfort, etc. I ordered the Fawn color (gorgeous color - more toward brown tones and goes with everything!) in my regular shoe size (9 - wide foot) even though the majority of the reviews said they ran big. I got them the next day (yay Zappos!) and was so impressed with the quality and suppleness of the leather! They were in fact too big and slipped at the heel, so I called to exchanged them for an 8.5. Zappos customer service was fantastic and sent the 8.5s out that day for next day delivery...and didn't charge my credit card for the replacement pair! They also gave me 14 days to return the 9s which was great so I was able to compare both sizes. The 8.5s were perfect -- even with thicker socks! The first time I wore them I had them on for 11 hours and they were very comfortable, although I did feel the crease across the top of my feet after a while. Wore them the next day for another 8 hours and they felt great. Note that the sole is a bit slippery but after scuffing them on concrete they were fine. I would recommend these boots to anyone wanting a classic boot that's truly comfortable!

Amazing boots my wife has been looking for. She says they're a perfect fit and quality is fantastic. Zappos never lets me down, what a greazt example of what customer service should be. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Beautifully made, timeless styling. Stitched and nailed sole means I can have them resoled for extended life. Outer leather is thick and smooth, like harness leather. The inside of the boot is lined with a smooth, soft leather so the seams don't rub against your calves or snag your socks. Fits more like a cowboy boot through the foot - i.e., no cushiony insole, just a leather lining. If you need squishy comfort, you might consider something else. I wear with skirts and under jeans - the boots are dress-up/dress-down versatile. Disappointed that they were made in Mexico, and not USA, especially since they are expensive! I keep and wear my "best" shoes for years, so the price per wear will be $1 or less when it's all said and done. My foot is 9.5 Narrow, and these seem to fit like a true 9.5 medium width, as expected.

Love these! Many compliments, they fit perfect (went for my usual size and they are great!). They go with everything.

To me, they felt a half size larger than marked (I am normally a 7½ and the 7 fit me better). however, it was not the length that was an issue but the tightness of the ankles - the heel constantly slipped when I walked around in the 7½. however, I do admittedly have pretty skinny ankles and feet, so if you do not, these boots might fit you true to size. Moving on, I think these boots look great, and smell great. I would recommend spending the extra money for a quality product, rather than spending less but replacing your boots every year.

These boots are gorgeous! I first ordered the brown vintage color, and they were really soft and beautiful, but not quite the color I was looking for. I ordered the Cognac for comparison's sake, and I decided to keep them. The Cognac boots are a little harder to pull on than the brown vintage and the leather is a bit stiffer. I normally wear a size 11, and that's the size I ordered. They fit perfectly with a thin sock. If I wanted to go barefoot or with tights I probably could go down 1/2 size, but Frye doesn't seem to make a 10 1/2. I am tall (about 5'10) and these come to maybe 3 inches below my knee. They have a slight western feel, but aren't overly cowboy boot-ish. They are just right! I've worn them with leggings, skirts, jeans, and with knee-high socks, and they are perfect. They go with black, brown and gray. They didn't require any break-in time to feel comfortable. I work on my feet all day, and they are comfortable from 9-5! The color is a very rich orange brownish color. Thank you Zappos!
