I love them! Comfortable, classy, and stylish. They look great with skinny jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, and work fine without socks. They definitely do run 1/2 size large, I am normally an 8 and after reading the other reviews, purchased an 8 and 7.5, returned the 8. They are my first pair of non-boot Fryes and I will definitely be getting another pair of their low top shoes in the future, as it is nice to have some Fryes to wear for the warmer months of the year.

These are seriously the best shoes I've worn in years. I have hard to fit feet with high arches and a high instep and a slightly wide foot, and these are just so comfortable. I've walked all over my neighborhood in them with no problem. The heel is a perfect height. They're great with dress pants or jeans or even a cute dress. At least on my screen the Tan color is very true to color. It's beautiful and so well made. They'll last you for years. Can't recommend more highly.

Beautiful, comfortable and lovely. I have a tiny foot - 6 or 6.5 and these fit perfectly in a 6. Snug on the first day, but felt much better on the second. They looked great with a pair of colored jeans and a light leather jacket. Well worth the price.

Shop no more, these are your go to everyday shoe. They are snappy but not overdone, and the famous Frye footbed make the heel just fine. When you wear these you look like you care about your appearance enough to look good but not too much to look like a poser. An excellent purchase as they are highly versatile and will not kill your knees. You will not regret the Frye decision as the craftsmanship is fabulous! If you are at a half size, I would order a size up. Also good for wide feet.

Best oxford for a great price! I bought a pair of these over a year ago in the dark brown (I wear an 8 with narrow feet and the size 8 fit really well). Wearable right out of the box. Go with everything (jeans and skirts with tights). Love them so much still that I bought a black pair a few months ago, which I also love. And because the design is so excellent (no stupid details except for the Frye logo at the side of the heel, which isn't very noticeable), I bought an extra pair of the brown and the black so I can make sure to be able to wear them years from now. A good investment, I think.

Very comfortable, and classy looking. I loved them so much I bought a pair for my mom, she loves them, too. I have narrow feet, so I ordered a half size smaller than normal, and was really happy they fit.

I love, love, love these shoes! I normally wear a 10 1/2, but had to buy the 11, as Frye doesn't make that size. They are a wonderful fit. They look great with dress pants and jeans. Work requires me to stand on my feet most of the day and my feet are in bliss with these shoes.

This is a handsome shoe, like an oxford with a cool boot heel. It looks great with jeans and dress pants. It feels like a boot on your foot.

I love these shoes. Very well constructed, and a beautiful color. I wear a 7.5, and found them very true to size -- comfortable from the very first wearing! Full marks on these!

These are really great shoes. Half a size down was plenty. It is comfortable out of the box and looks great with skinny jeans or tights. The leather is soft right where it needs to be. The heel height is perfect. Well done, Frye.

Decided to go with my regular size 8, but am returning for the 7 1/2. These shoes are so cute and comfortable. Great with jeans. Love the heel which has a 'modified' cowboy boot look. Extremely well made and well worth the money!

I love the quality and fit of this shoe. I typically wear a 9.5 and this shoe was a great fit in a 9.5. My feet run on the narrow side, although they are no longer AA, and I still had plenty of room to tighten the laces. I bought these to wear to work with "business-casual" wide-legged trousers. I'm sending them back because I didn't realize that the shoe essentially looks like a citified western boot when a pant cuff covers the laces. It's a very cool look, but I'm happier with with a more traditional NE business look. I'm trying the Paige Oxford next, and if that isn't it, I'm going for the James Oxford after that. I should have asked Zappos if they would include a photo of their shoes with a "typical" wide leg cuff in my return feedback, but I forgot. I think it might save on some shipping for them?

These shoes fit perfectly and look great - they are so comfortable, I've been wearing them almost every day and I walk a lot. The quality is very high; they are well made and sturdy. Definitely worth the price for a comfortable, stylish shoe that will last a long time. I looked everywhere for oxfords with a little heel like this and was so thrilled to find them - at first Zappos didn't have them in my size, but they notified me as soon as they came in and I got them. They look cute with skirts, pants and jeans - a cool "schoolgirl" look that works great for me.

I was surprised by how comfortable these shoes are. The hard soles take a little getting used to. Stepping on any kind of gravel sticks to the soles and keeps grinding which is weird for me. BUT they're super cute and comfy, and I love them. Totally great investment.

I love these shoes; they felt great right out of the box. Soon after I bought my first pair in black, I ordered a second in brown. These have a lot of room in the toe area, and seem slightly long compared to other shoes, but I think this characteristic adds to the overall comfort level of the shoe. A cool, classic shoe that will not go out of style.

Really, really REALLY like this shoe! You know how you read these reviews and see, "Runs big get a half size down..." ? I always ignore that advice. With this shoe, though, I did have to go to a 6 instead of a 6 1/2. I can still wear a thinnish sock comfortably. I'm becoming a big FRYE fan.

Bought the 9 and had to exchange them for the 8.5. I wear these with rolled up jeans and love them! They are comfortable enough to wear shopping at the mall and walking around for hours.

Other folks say they run big, but I'm barely a size 5 (and a bit wide), and I'm wearing the 5.5 in total comfort. There's a little extra room in the toes, but the laces keep the shoes snug on my feet. They are sturdy and old-fashioned with good arch support and a nice patina to the finish that makes them look both vintage and fresh, with a handmade feeling. The taupe color is a nice addition to my wardrobe and neutral enough to go with almost anything.

Gorgeous, delicious shoes. These run freakishly large, though, and soften considerably on wearing. I went down a full size, and though they felt tight at first, they became perfect after a couple of days of wearing. The Frye Carson Oxfords look great with skirts and skinny pants. I don't like them so much with wider pants; even straight leg jeans look wrong with them to my eye. But absolutely chic and delightful with the right outfit.

I give this shoe 5 stars due to comfort and fit. The sole is well padded. No aches while walking on the streets of Manhattan. The heel cap does not make noise: very quiet shoe overall. If only everyone used this type of construction!

This shoe is soooo cute. I love the look and the quality. Unfortunately, for a widey like me, this didn't work. I could get them on and lace them up, but the laces were too tight, and it made them buckle at the ankles. This shoe looks great with anything. I'm sorry they have to go back; I wish Frey would make wide width shoes. :(

Cute, comfy, trendy and work appropriate! This is my 4th pair of Frye shoes and the first pair of shoes EVER that I have had to size down in. I very consistently wear a 7.5, but the 7.5 was way too big. The 7 works a lot better and will accommodate some thinner socks. I have relatively wide feet too, but the 7 is still comfortable.

I can see why some people think this style runs a half size large. I ordered my normal size and a half size smaller based on the reviews. Both felt like the right size. I ended up keeping my normal size, and I am glad I did. It may be a matter of personal preference. I found these shoes felt like good, solid shoes; they have substance without being clunky. The insole has a nice padding. Although there is no arch support, the modest heel works fine for my foot issues. I can wear these all day. And based on the quality, I expect I will have them for years to come.
