I absolutely loved these boots and was really bummed that I couldn't keep them! I am 5'4 and they were just slightly too tall for me. The leather is gorgeous, supple and smelled wonderful. They were also extremely comfortable to wear - with the one exception of them being a bit too tall. Alas, they went back but thanks to Zappos' wonderful return policy I am trying other styles of Frye boots. If you're taller than 5'4 or have long legs then you won't be disappointed with these boots!

They look amazing. I look amazing in them. My husband had to carry me to the car after walking in them one hour. I still wear them, but only to places where I'll be sitting down a lot or it won't be a long trip. Very sad, but they cause a serious foot cramp and I can't help but limp after a while.

I usually wear size 9, but based on previous reviews, I bought 8.5. The boots fit, but with socks and jeans tucked in, they fit very tight; I should have ordered my normal size. If you intend to wear these boots with only tights, then go ahead and order 1/2 smaller, but if you're thinking about wearing socks, then order your usual size. This is my first pair of Frye boots, but I'm not very impressed in terms of comfort. There is absolutely no arch support. In comparison to other "comfort" driven brands like Born and Gentle Souls, these are like walking on a flat wooden floor. Not comfortable AT ALL. I love the soft leather and the way they look on, but unfortunately, I'm going to have to return them because if you can't walk in them, boots are that useful in Manhattan.

Nice well-constructed boot and I can see why someone might like these especially if you want a more substantial western style boot. They run small, however, and it was ultimately not the style I was looking for.

Awesome fit - I was worried OTK would look "too much" on me (I'm only 5'2"), but these are perfect! I can't wait for cooler weather so I can wear them!

I bought these for winter time in DC. I walk to work everyday and needed something versatile for the office and weekends. These are perfect. There sturdy enough for the miles I put on them but sleek enough to dress up an outfit. LOVE THEM!

Absolutely love these boots. Waited& watched for the price to go down & pounced. Beautiful rich color, great fit, & can wear all day in comfort which is amazing for my poor feet. I loved them so much I bought 2 pairs. You will not regret buying these. Worth every penny .

I am a 7-pair Frye girl. But the Over-the-Knee boots are going to go down in history as my favorite of all time. Comfy. Chic and while not cheap, ladies you are paying for quality craftsmanship...trust me!

These were my first ever Frye & OTK boots so they hold a sentimental place in my heart. I wanted tall boots that wouldn't "slouch" around the ankles like many leather boots do. After trying on many tall boots, I got these per the suggestion of the sales associate who recommended these wouldn't slouch as much. I haven't really craved another leather OTK boot since! Provided you get these babies conditioned & professionally cleaned at least once a year (I do mine at the end of the winter, so around March, before they get tucked away for the spring & summer) they will last you for YEARS to come. I've had mine since January 2014 (nearly 3 years now!) and they STILL look fabulous and I still get compliments from strangers on the street as to how stunning these look :) I agree with other reviewers that they do fit a bit snug at the beginning but they break in quite seamlessly. I've been bad and have worn these beauties in the NYC snow/sleet and even in the Seattle rain but I try to be good about drying them off & conditioning them with Frye's leather conditioner ($10 and lasts YEARS so it's worth it) so they still look great.

These books looked and felt amazing. I truly wished that they would cover my knees like over-the-knee boots are supposed to do. I am 5'10 and have yet to find the perfect OTK boots. Now that I know the quality of the Frye brand, I will look for other style boots made by Frye. Again, these boots looked and felt AMAZING.

The perfect over the knee boot! Great quality leather. The ash oiled suede is gorgeous. A little expensive but worth it. The fit is true to size and as always with Frye immediately comfortable.

I absolutely love this boot!!!! I have several pairs of Frye Boots but this by far is my favorite. I fits lovely on the foot and very comfortable. I would love to see it in more colors. Like grey. I would highly recommend this boot to anyone. A friend of mine at church said she kept eyeing my boots that she loved them too LOL. I am very pleased with this purchase!! I hope to get another color in this boot soon.

I own four pairs of these boots in different colors. I absolutely love them! They are so comfortable, versatile and good looking! I have muscular calves and love that I can easily slide these boots on with no problems. I highly recommend them. Every time I wear them I get compliments.

These boots are so nice. The calf area is not as roomy as I thought it would be. Even so, they look really nice on, they are comfortable, and they are so well made . Quality. Love them.

I am very happy with this purchase. The leather is very soft and the boots are comfortable. The are true to size and fit right over my knee. I am 5'7". I've been looking for a pair of flat OTK boots and these are it!

I've had my eye on Frye over the knee boots for some time now, but the price always stopped me. I finally did it and I must say, I am so glad I did. I was between these and the Melissa OTK style. I decided to go with these because they are leather all around, which is what I prefer. Melissa OTK has the elastic gore panel in the back of the boot for extra stretch. In my opinion, Shirley style is roomy enough for the average woman calf. These boots are perfect. The leather is beautiful and they fit so great. I am 5'8" and they fall perfectly over the knee (unfolded) without causing any discomfort/tightness. They are sturdy boots, but they still look feminine enough to wear with skirts/dresses as well as skinny jeans. I wear a size 8 and that's what I ordered. They fit true to size.

Saw an ad...Leggings with over the knee boot. I love this look. Onto Zappos in 2 seconds have the Shirley in oiled Ash...color is darker than the picture but it is the color I would choose because it goes with everything. These arrived. Comfortable...gorgeous. Perfection! I have drop foot (no muscle and nerve damage) and I can easily get in and out of this boot because of the side zipper. Don't hesitate. Get these!

The boot runs a bit in the narrow side. I found them to run a bit long as well. I measure a true 9.5 and I went with the 9 on these. They are a very high quality leather and hug my legs perfectly! I have slender calves and these aren't baggy at all. The fit really nice. I have read that fry boots can be snug at the start and this I found to be very true. However they break in nicely fairly quickly :). Over all I am so very pleased with my purchase. I don't think I will buy any other brand after owning these. Excellent boot.

These are lovely boots and the leather is gorgeous! I would have loved to keep them, but unfortunately, the zipper rubbed on the inside of my ankle. I will be returning them, I am very disappointed. Zappos is the best - I would not shoe shop anywhere else!
