I really wanted red boots and already had these in black so I knew they would fit. I was so instantly disappointed when I opened the box and saw these pretty brown boots. They are not red. They're very pretty, but more brown than red. Now I realize what red clay looks like though.

Loved the look of the boots. Although they look more old than distressed. First day in boots caused horrible painful blisters. They were the right size. Maybe my socks were too thin. Idk. But I returned them immediately.

I should’ve known, only 1 pair left in stock and I knew immediately these had been worn and returned and not just once, these were worn, scuffed and broken in. Zappos, please don’t send out worn used shoes as new, especially when they cost $200. Thank you.

I wanted to not like these shoes, because they’re expensive and they look like military dress boots. But I couldn’t help it, I love them so I’m keeping them. They smell amazing so I know the leather is excellent quality, and they’re soft but tough. They shoes themselves are very comfortable and I like how they look with the laces only done up halfway and tied around the ankle.

I love these boots! I would recommend getting them professionally stretched before wearing them. It will improve comfort immediately for wearing all day

Following advice in many reviews, I purchased a half size larger than usual, and they fit fine. I"ve not worn Frye in a long (!) time, and am pleased with the quality and comfort of these silver (!) combat boots. The leather, reasonably soft, is becoming more supple with each wear; the rubberized bits of the sole will, no doubt, extend the life of the sole. These are a great workhorse of an urban boot, and will be easy to coordinate with casual outfits.

After reading the reviews, I went up half a size. They fit great, however, you have to undo the laces to get them on. The opening is tiny. If you don't have the patience to sit down and put them on, these are not the boots for you. Otherwise, they are very nice boots. A little pricey, but that's the brand.

Wonderful leather and construction. Tried several colors and because I went up a half size it was tricky not to have them look too long with my slim legs. Settled on the gray.

I have 4 pairs of Frye Veronica boot styles, and the fit of these boots are like most Frye boots for me, meaning I wear a size 8 in other shoes, but in Frye I take an 8.5. They are tight, but with wear *should* break in and mold to my feet. Some Frye boots take only a few hours to break in and become the pair I reach for almost daily (like my Veronica Strap short) and some can take longer, like I feel these will do. The style is simple but ruggedly cute, more feminine looking than Doc Martins. I got the waxed chocolate vintage. They do cut into the insides of both ankles as I wear them in my house, not sure if I will keep them because of this issue.

Ordered in my usual size and a half and one full size bigger, just in case. I kept the 1/2 size bigger pair, as they were the most comfortable with six width wise. If you have a narrow foot you should be fine with your regularly size. They are very stylish and well made. I will change out the laces though, as I like to wrap them around instead of lacing up the front like normal. I need about 2 more inches of string to do that. Thank you Zappos customer service for helping me with my return. I ordered a Kodiak boot as well and the quality difference in the leather and materials was so obvious. Frye might have a lifelong customer now. This is the third pair that I love.

Boots are solid. They seem like they will last forever. I do a lot of walking and the boot is rubbing on the side of my left heel which hurts but I’m sure I have to break them in. Little more masculine looking than I would like. Overall I am
Happy with them. Size is true to

I wanted the doc martin look but when I tried those I looked like a japanamation. My slim body type is much more suited to this style, and I just love these! I wear them as commuting type shoes, but don't get weird looks when I wear them around the office.

After a couple returns I got the right size. Returns are really easy.
I am a size 61/2. I ended up with a 7.5. Perfect fit. I can wear them with thicker socks or not.
They look amazing. Feel amazing. I love the black in stonewashed. I wanted worn and weathered looking and these are it without looking to worn or weathered. Theres really no beak in time if you size right.
They look good with everything.
These boots will last forever and when I actually break them in better they will look . They already contoured to my ankles. I wear then untied not tight to my ankles. The leathers softer not hard. No zippers. I'm tired of zippered combat boots. Seems yo be the thing the last 2 years. I'm not loving it. This is the classic combat boot with a edge.
If your on the edge cause if price buy them. They will outlast any boot and never look bad. . They ate timeless boots.

Love the look of these boots! Exactly what I wanted. You do need to unlace them quite a bit to get your foot into them as they have no zipper, but that's what I love about them. They leather is fantastic, soft and smells wonderful. I wore them all day teaching straight out of the box and they felt great. If you are looking for a fair amount of arch support then these are not the boot for you. Ordered them in whiskey and Love the color.

Absolutely in love with these. The quality of leather is fantastic. I got the pink and am smitten with the color.
I'm between a 7.5 and an 8, got the 8, and could possibly have gone down a half size due to the fact that they're leather and will stretch a bit, but being boots that problem can always be solved with extra socks. Almost no break in time needed, they're great out of the box!

Beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous boots. I am too impatient to deal with this many laces however and will have to wait until a style with side zippers is in stock. Lovely boots.

I was comparing this boots with Dr. Martens Boots, and decided to get this pair instead. I'm happy with my choice, comfortable and great looks!

I think it seems to be made well (in India, for Frye) of Vintage (or vintage-looking) Italian leather. It feels like butter & isn’t too hot with insoles & medium wool sox on. They look gorgeous & allow for you to use creativity when lacing them. I’m wearing a couple to a few times a week. I’ll update on if the hold together or ‘melt’ apart. ?

I truly hope Frye got these right as far as manufacturing because I am in love. I purchased 1/2 large as I normally do so I could fit my cork Birkenstock half insoles in them. Then wore medium thick socks just to make sure no blisters on the heel. Day one was like end of year one with regular wear. I haven’t had quite as comfortable as well as kick@&& boots in a long time. They are fully leather lined and not half way, stopping where you can’t see on the top at the ball of the feet. I leave a few holes at the top unlaced. They really are feminine while still being edgy. I hope they grow more pleasant as the years past.

Beautiful and very comfortable, even from the first wear, boots. I have wide feet with high arch and it is usually hard for me to find shoes that I can walk with or in some cases even to put them on. These surprised me!

I followed my past Frye boot purchases and ordered a 1/2 size larger and they fit great. I did have to return first pair ordered as they were defective, one real tight and one large like clown boot! But Zappos stood by me with a full one time refund instead of exchange and sent me a perfect new pair of boots. I am now returning the defective pair today, which they sent me a return label. I love the grey color. The water proofing smells strong but will off gas soon.

These are even prettier in real life than the photos show. Beautiful black with silver metallic sheen. They do run small, I always order a half size up in this boot (I own four pairs, love them) but if your feet are wide or you want to wear thick socks, order a whole size up.

I love these boots. I bought my true size 7.5 in the grey waxed full grain. My feet are more on the narrow side. I love them to be a bit snug at first because the leather stretches a bit after a few weeks. I have the black soft vintage leather too and loved them so much got these. The feels different, but the fit is the same. Trendy and cool. I wore them the first day all day with no issues whatsoever.
