Love this boot! I usually wear a size 8½, but I have a wide foot and short toes, and for some reason, I always wear an 8 in Fryes.
Super slippery leather sole at first, but you just need to scuff it up on some rocks once you decide to keep them. The bordeaux red satisfies my childhood dream of red cowboy boots without being too flashy or hard to match.
I have thick calves, so I can't wear knee-high boots comfortably, so this shortie boot with inside zip is really easy to get on and off (for a boot).

These boots are incredibly comfortable to wear. Took them out of the box and wore them for three days, all day, and no problem. Plenty of room in the toe box, not too floppy given the wider toe (vs. traditional cowboy look). True to size (I'm 6.5 - 7 in general, these fit at 6.5 with socks). Great arch support, not too floppy at the ankle and I have very thin ankles. Love them.

Bought these for my mom for X-Mas and she is thrilled! Although these would surely look good with skinny jeans, mom just can't bring herself to get on the skinny trend and prefers slim straight leg styles. This makes her boot choices harder because the shaft must fit under her pant leg... these are perfect! No problem fitting under her Levis straight legs. With a classic low profile riding boot look, these boots are slender in width, but I would say they run true to size. Perfect for a narrow to average foot. Plenty of length as the toe tapers in and no need to size up unless you have wide feet.

I have been wanting to get a pair of Frye boots for a while and I just could not find the right ones. Some of the other models almost seemed overkill and clunky for a climate that does not get too cold. These are just perfect, they look very stylish but I can tell they will last for a long time. They are comfortable and look great with leggings, tucked in skinny jeans or just regular jeans. The color is a very smooth camel, true to what's shown on the website. My only complaint is that the left boot puts some pressure on top of my foot that gets uncomfortable after wearing them all day. Owners of Frye boots tell me they will break in at some point.

I wanted a short boot, but have trouble accommodating a bunion on one foot, so I needed something a bit wider than many stylish boots run. This one does it. I bought a half size larger than normal, and with the zippered entry and a bit wider toe box, it is comfortable and good support for walking and for all-day wear. The one caution: those side zippers are hard on the opposite leg's tights and socks! Frye makes a good boot, so I know this one will hold up well.

The low heel makes them completely comfortable and beautiful. The zipper makes for easy on/off, pants tucking and barefoot wearing. I'm a teacher and these are perfect. Gorgeous, stylish, cute and comfy. I'm short with chubby legs and they look great. My friend with skinny ankles looked less cute in them. They kind of swam on her. Like most Frye's, the sole is slippy at first. Expensive, but lovely.

The Melissa short button boot is good quality leather, well made, and generally a good fit for my narrow foot. They run true to length, if not a tiny bit long. I should have ordered my regular 9.5, but opted for 10, as I wanted to add an insole. The 9.5 would have given ample room. My only complaint is that my socks work their way down as I walk, if I pull them above the top of the boots, so I end up having to fold them down shorter. There is a bit of heel slip, but I expect that from most boots. The front is actually a pretty good fit for my narrow feet. I'd highly recommend these boots to wear with a casual wardrobe.

Unbelievable boots. I have a narrow foot, AA, and was hesitant to give these boots a try. I ordered a half size smaller and they fit perfect. I don't even need to wear thick socks to make the boot fit better. I've worn these boots 3 days in a row and not one complaint! Really comfortable. The leather is really nice and I can't wait until it's really broken in! Go buy a pair!

I love these boots! I have a wide foot so ordered a 1/2 size larger, they are a tiny bit loose - but feel awesome and were comfortable from the first day. I was worried they would be too flat but they have a good support in the instep and I was able to wear these hours from day one. My last Fryes were in college in the '70s so it is fun to be 'cool' again. Great service from Zappos and next day delivery. I had initially ordered a smaller size - Zappos made the return easy.

This is exactly what I was looking for in a short boot. Frye does an excellent job of matching style and function. My first thought was, well, I finally have a boot that I can wear under AND over jeans. The boot is true to size (I'm a 9), and roomy enough in the toe for bigger socks as it got cold, but not so much that I had any trouble this summer. I have thin ankles, but the boot, again, seemed to fit well. I had no problems wherein my foot slipped side-to-side or back out of the boot. Excellent construction, the leather is top quality and the stitching is perfect. The zipper is smooth and easy to work, even with gloves on. All in all, a beautiful boot. Highly recommended.

This boot is gorgeous, well made! I bought it in the bordeaux color. Unfortunately, they were out of my size 9 so I tried a size 8.5, but it was not going to work. Like my other Frye boots, this is true to size. So sad I had to return. Hopefully they will get more of this beautiful color in my size!

I bought these boots for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved them. I own a pair of the man's harness boots and you cant beat the quality and look that comes with a pair of Frye's. I got her exact size and she said they fit perfectly.

An extremely cute, versatile boot. I see myself wearing these all the time. As usual with Frye, I always get a half size smaller than my usual.

Very comfortable well made boots. I did return the original size and ended up finding a 1/2 size smaller to fit the best.

These are by far the greatest boots I've ever bought. I read another reviewer's comment about the pretty color, so I decided to get the red ones, also. They are a subdued red (more like burgundy), and they coordinate with so many outfits. They are classy, well-crafted and consistent with the Frye reputation. I love them.

Wow, is this a gorgeous boot in the rich bordeaux color! I've been searching for a pair of Frye boots and these fit the bill. I generally wear a 9 and these feel a teensy bit big but that's perfect for thicker socks. I foresee them looking great with jeans as well as slacks and they are definitely going to Paris with me next week! Ever grateful to Zappos for their generous and quick shipping that allowed me to try a few styles before settling on these.

Yikes, I loved these right out of the box. I bought them in Fawn which is a beautiful golden brown. They have been comfortable from day one. I have a narrow foot but they fit great with ample room for my toes. There is plenty of cushion so I don't even need to add inserts. They are so gorgeous and I find myself staring at them a lot. I even hate to take them off! Well worth the money for this kind of quality. Thank you Zappos for the fast free shipping!

LOVE love love these boots.
I gravitate towards red shoes, I'll admit it - a holdover from my childhood love of The Wizard of Oz - so I was drawn to these as soon as I saw them. They are gorgeous, soft and fit like a glove.

Love the cognac leather/canvas combination! I'm sure you can wear them all year long, but it is great to have a pair that is not as heavy looking for the warmer weather! True to size length/width wise, so I highly recommend you get your regular size. Very comfortable and didn't have any issues from Day 1 after walking around for hours.

This is my first pair of Fryes and I made a great choice. The shaft of the boot is unique, but that's one reason I ordered them. I like that they feel a little lightweight. The shaft is a little slouchy. They are easy to get on and off even without zippers. These boots were comfortable from the moment I took them out of the box. There was absolutely no break-in period necessary. I won't do it all the time, but I once wore them without socks and they were fine. My feet are narrow...I normally wear an AA, but even so, these are perfect and I won't have to wear super thick socks. However, if I wanted to, there is room to do so. I would not hesitate to recommend these boots as well as Zappos. Shipping was fast and the transaction was flawless.

These boots are beautiful! But they run large for me so I am going to get another pair that fits for me. I am very satisfied with Zappos' great customer service, it is not my first time buying here and I have had the best experiences ever.
