Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button

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!

I love these boots! I got them in brown vintage leather and they look great with practically anything. I'm 5'9 and they hit a few of inches below the knee. Run a little snug. I normally wear an 8 and I got an 8.5 and they were a little difficult to get on. But, I know that once they're worn-in they'll be perfect. I recommend the plastic bag trick for when they're new...put plastic bag that they come in over foot to try them on. Your foot will slide in more easily.

Like everyone else, I love these boots. I found if you relax your foot while putting them on, they slide right in. I'm having trouble choosing a color as the pictures aren't clear enough. Trying burgundy vintage next; hope they work; can't wait to wear them.

Buying a boot like this is an investment but the Frye brand and has proved countless times that it will be well worth it. The leather is of excellent quality and broke in upon a few wearings. I feel like I have had them for years, not weeks. I have a wide foot and would normally have to wear thin socks and suffer on cold days but these conform to your foot and I can wear SmartWool socks easily. They look great with skinny jeans or leggings; overall an excellent investment and will not disappoint.

I have lots of boots in my closet and these are my favorite! They fit like a glove the first time I put them on, and they are so comfortable that I can wear them all day and into the night without any problem. I wear everything from stilleto-heel boots to cowboy boots, and these are great crossovers - timeless style with a Western flair. I highly recommend them!

I have been wanting a pair of Frye boots for years...I always hesitated because of the price. These boots are well worth the money. The Melissa style is classic without a lot of detail, so they can be worn with almost anything. I typically wear either a 9 1/2 or 10. After reading reviews I decided to go for the smaller of the two sizes. They fit perfect. I don't have any issue getting the boot on, but it does take just a strong tug to get them off...I would say I have normal to slightly narrow feet. They don't have a lot of cushion and the heel feels a little narrow, which could pose an issue for some. Don't get me wrong, these boots are not at all uncomfortable...I just want to let others know what I've found. I was a little confused about color. There are so many choices...that's another reason I choose the Melissa boot. I wanted a color that would go with anything, black, brown, gray, anything. I chose the Fawn Vintage Leather. I love the color, I would say it's a tan with olive tones...perfect. Just go ahead and do it, get these boots...you won't be sorry.

Very comfortable, my favorite boots. Molded to the form of my feet. Love the vintage look. Perfect.

This is a classic, stylish riding boot. It fits mostly true to size, but felt a tiny bit snug in the toes the first time I wore them. If you have wider feet or ankles, they might pinch. They're comfortable now after a few wears, though. The color is beautiful, and they feel very durable.

LOVE these. I have wider calves and they fit perfectly. I wear between 9 and 9.5. I went with the 9.5 and couldn't be happier!!

Nice, comfortable boot of good leather, but after vacillating, I've decided it's a little looser for a tall boot than I want. I'm considering the back zip version, which I hope will be closer to the leg. I have the short Melissa Button boot, which I've found very comfortable and looks particularly nice with cords and jeans. I only wish that the zipper were on the tall boot and that the short version were zipperless.

These boots are worth every penny. They fit me true to size (I'm a size 8), but if you have big calves beware! They just barely fit around really tight jeans but look amazing with tights! I couldn't be happier with this boot.

These are the perfect, classic riding boots that go with anything. Hits a few inches below the knee on me. True to size, easy to walk in, easy to pair with anything. Worth the investment!

I definitely needed to break through this boot. I have received many comments about the the boots. They are a pair you can wear and walk for a whole day without discomfort. The only problem is struggling to remove the boots especially when wearing socks. Otherwise worth every penny. Looks good on skirts, jeans and dresses.

These boots are great! A little slick on the bottom but the are so comfortable.

I love these boots! I have received numerous compliments - even from strangers on the street! They are not only stylish, but extremely comfortable.

Love these boots! If you are considering them, just save yourself the time and buy them today! Super comfortable, beautiful leather, fit true to size - love them!

This is the 4th pair of Fyre boots I have ordered; I love the look and quality but all of the pairs prior to this didn't fit quite right. I ordered this pair in hopes that the fit would be better and I'm so glad I gave Fyre another chance! I love these boots! They are so comfortable and look amazing. I wanted the Dark Brown Brush Off but they didn't have my size so instead I ordered the Light Brown Brush Off. The color very versatile and could be worn with black pants or jeans. I normally wear a 7.5-8 but based on other reviews I got an 8 and they fit perfectly.

Got these today, and wow. They are perfect. They slipped on very easily for me. I wear a size 7-7.5 normally and ordered these in a 7. They fit like a glove. I have fairly flat feet and had no trouble getting them on like some other people did. I'm 5'5 and they are a few inches below my knee, but they look super cute with bunched up socks above. I have thin calves and with skinny jeans and socks, they fit perfectly. Not snug, not loose. Finally a pair of boots that don't slouch or gap. Hopefully they continue to hold this perfect shape. I have them in black and they look beautiful!

These boots rock. I love them. They stretch a tad, so prepare. But they are good looking, comfy, and look great. Price is really high, but they are worth it! I get lots of compliments. =)

Very comfortable boots. The calves were a little tight when I first got them but they loosened up quickly and now I love them. I wear them almost everyday. Frye makes the best boots!

The quality of these boots is amazing in every way. They were a little tough to get on my feet right away, but with a little patience I got them on and they were very comfortable. I ordered the light brown brush off and they were significantly lighter in person than the photo shows which was a little disappointing. I might send them back for a different color.

These boots are awesome. Seriously. I have wanted to buy them for the past three years but they were too expensive. I finally broke down and bought them and I love them. I had to exchange for a half size smaller than my usual size, but they are perfect. And actually quite comfortable. They fit perfectly with skinny jeans and leggings. They are quality leather boots and are made well. I know they will last for years and years. They are worth the splurge!!
