Customer Reviews Frye Sabrina 14L

I like them a lot. The color is just like in the picture. I usually wear a 6M for boots, and I ordered the 6M for this - and they fit me well. The inside is a bit hard; I haven't used them for a long walk yet, so I don't know how they will feel after.

Love this boot! I am always impressed with the quality of Frye. I ordered them in teal and love the color. I wear them with shorts, jeans, and skirts. I get compliments every time I wear them. I ordered a half size smaller ad they fit perfect! I do have very narrow feet though. Zappos upgraded my shipping for free and they arrived in less than 24 hours I ordered them. Zappos, you are amazing.

This boot is so comfortable! Just the right calf width, so I can tuck in my jeans, and the heel is a little higher than the Frye Campus model. Good when you're not six feet tall. I can get my 9 1/2 foot into this boot without a zipper!

Adore these boots and bought the campus first but wasn't thrilled with the square toe. I found these and loved the clay color and they are a great neutral that goes with everything. They need to be broken in a bit but order true to size, great with skirts, shots and jeans. A real classic.

I ordered the Frye Campus boots first and while the foot fit great, the shaft was way too tight. I exchanged for the Sabrina style since they're so similar. I ordered my size, 7, instead of the usual recommendation to order a half size smaller for Frye boots. They fit perfectly right out of the box. I had to fight with the left boot a little but once my foot was in, they felt wonderful. I have fairly wide calves but they fit great over leggings and tights. I'm going to see if I can get them stretched just a bit to get them over jeans. I don't have particularly high arches so I find the support adequate. I ordered the Burnt Red color and was relieved to see that they're much less red in person than in the photo. If money was no object, I'd get these in the teal as well.

Very cute style and pretty comfortable. I'm used to wearing the Frye campus boot which I love. With that style and the engineer boot, I buy a half size down from my usual shoe size. I have to wear my true size with the Sabrina boot. The rounded toe and heel shape are nice. The shaft of the boot feels a bit slimmer than my other Frye boots but I can still tuck skinny jeans in them. The boot width is a bit more fitted than what I'm used to but they're still fine. Overall the Sabrina is somewhat more refined than other casual styles I own and it's very stylish. As always, Zappos shipped super fast and customer service is A+.

Just purchased this boot in both the Sapphire and the Burnt Red colors. I was planning on only keeping one of the pairs, but the color and the design of this boot made me want to keep both of the colors. I'm a huge fan of the Campus style, which generally fits me right out of the box because it is a little on the wider side. However, this boot is a bit narrower. I considered going up a half a size but decided against it because the length was fine. On the Sapphire pair, it was a bit difficult getting the right boot on my foot - it was almost as though my arch was too high. I managed to slide it on and to my surprise, it felt fine once it was in place. However, I wore them today to sort of "break them in" and unfortunately, I had to remove the boot because it was very painfully tight. I guess that I will need to bring them in for a stretching. That's okay because the construction and the colors are so gorgeous. The Sapphire boot was actually bluer than the photo - not as purple - and the Burnt Red color is a beautiful bright neutral. The shaft is also higher than I thought that it looked in the picture - but I don't mind at all. Fits well over normal sized (not model thin) calves and jeans. I plan on wearing them to jazz up a basic outfit - and also to compliment my vintage 60's and 70's wardrobe pieces. Would be great right off the bat for someone with narrow feet!

I absolutely love this boot! I am not a newbie to Frye, I have the Campus, Harness and several of the Carmen style too. With that being said, I think this is my favorite one yet! I really love the color, I got it in Clay and it is such a beautiful color...so neutral you can wear it with anything, although any color in this boot would be great. I did label this as no arch support though, but I have really high arches so that may just be me. Other than that, they are so comfy and I can wear them all day long with no problems. I spoke with someone at Frye and they said that these boots are flying off the shelves, so get them while they are here!

This is a fabulous boot, but seems to be narrow to me. I had to return.

Love these boots. The color is fun and the style both classic and contemporary. I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. Initially one boot was tight on the instep and my toes got numb. I had to walk around with them at home in order to decide if I could keep them. I went to a thinner sock and maybe the loosened up. I wear them to work and play and do not have issues now. I was worried that they would be hard to put on and remove, but they go on and come off easy.

I am not sure why almost every Frye review has so many gushing compliments! I agree that the quality is good and the leather sometimes beautiful, but the overall style of Frye boots tends to be bulky/heavy so you need to buy into that design style and as such (in my view!), the boots are not elegant. I can see using the boot on weekends and for casual occasions or for going out, but I could not wear the Sabrina with work clothes in my industry. Also for a petite person, the bulky boot doesn't always work well. Specifically about the Sabrina: I couldn't find any reviews in 2012 so I based my purchase on 2011 reviews (all very positive). The toe is much better rounded than certain other Frye styles - it tones down the heaviness of the boot. As for colors, the 2011 reviews tended to reference colors that no longer exist. I bought the camel color which I find a little odd - not sure I will keep it at this point and it is taupe but not as light as I expected. Last comment, I find that the calf fits fine but that there is a lot of leather around the ankles so it flares out a bit, which detracts from the elegance part of the boot.

Gorgeous boots. Ordered them in burnt red & almost cried when I tried them on. Circumference listed is totally off. By a lot. I'm guessing these are about 14" for size 10. Damn you, calves!

After debating what color to order, I ended up purchasing the Sabrina in Sunrise. The color is beautiful and seems to go with most everything. I am really impressed that these boots seem so light and well-fitting. The only downfall is the circumference of the calf. I am a muscular runner (not overweight) and I will need to have these boots stretched. Pay close attention to the measurements before ordering!

The Frye Sabrina boots are beautiful but too tight around my calves. I'm so disappointed as they are the second pair of Frye boots I've tried and no luck. Who are these boots made for? I thought my calves were 'normal' size! Feeling frustrated with Frye but loving Zappos. It's a shame I live in China so can't use them more often. They have happily returned 4 pairs of boots for me this month! Sorry, Zappos, it's the calves!

I am in love with these boots. I first bought the Frye Autumn boots but didn't like the way they are slouchy. The Sabrina boots look great. These hold their shape and leather is beautiful. The boots are comfortable, even right out of the box. I got them in Saddle which looks great with jeans.

Great boot for petites. It is the prefect height on my stubby legs, plus it's beautiful and comfortable. Looking forward to years of wear.

So in love with these boots. I am a true 6.5 with slim calves, and these are amazing! I ordered 6.5 and the fit is true to size for me. If your calves aren't slim you may have problems with the width of the shaft. I did not think I would love these as much as I do. They are slim, stylish, kind of cowboy, kind of chunky (if that makes any sense). Great with skirts, leggings, jeans - basically anything. I got them in the Fawn color (via Zappos sister-site 6pm.com). Great service, great boots! I highly recommend them!

I absolutely love them! First, customer service was awesome, I called to return my previous order and they sent the replacement right away. I cannot say enough about these boots, they are fabulous! I ordered Frey Calvary and did not like them that much, do not get me wrong, they still are very nice boots but I wanted something more of a feminine look so I returned them. The moment that I opened the box, wow! I fell in love right away - I got the sunrise (golden with a yellow hue, perfect), rounded toe, looks feminine and makes my feet look smaller (I have wide feet) the shaft height just perfect for me 5'2", does not make my legs short, circumference just right for my med. calf, just right for my skinny jeans and leggings. Overall, these boots look fabulous, feminine, nice to wear for dresses and skirt. This is my third Frey, I had the Melissa, and the Jane, of the three, this is going to be my favorite one. No break in time, I wear them first without socks. If money is no object, I would buy another pair, I saw another one that I might like to have, but had to save up for them for next year. I have been checking a lot of boots before I finally decided that these are the ones. I wear my Jane for a little bit formal occasion, the Melissa to run around, casual with jeans, but this Sabrina will overpower both, because these are going to be my favorites! Girls, if you have been looking for boots and are looking for something feminine and sophisticated, try Sabrina! They are highly recommended.

Bestest purchase in a long, long, long time. These boots are fantastic! After the initial break-in (one-wearing!) they fit like a sweet, soft, fitted glove on my feet. Plus, they are super stylish! I thought I might have to return them at the 1st try on because I didn't think I could get my foot in, but it just took a little shimmy at the on/off and now, they are awesome! I'll be wearing these babies for years!

This is a BEAUTIFUL boot. I am 5'7 and it hit me mid calf. The opening was large enough for jeggings but not skinny jeans. I have a 14.5" circumference calf. I had to return these boots because my arch is too high. I wanted them to work so badly, but need something with a little more "give" than these provided. I have several other pairs of Frye boots and these would have been a welcome addition to the collection. However, I felt that even with a little stretching of the leather, it would still be too tight across the very top of my arch, rendering the boot too uncomfortable for extended wear.

Love this boot so much I gave 3 more pairs as gifts and everyone loved them! Very comfortable and great looking.

I love these Frye boots. The color is beautiful! Just a note, I'm a size 8 but usually a 7.5 in boots. These boots run true to size so I bought an 8. I'm glad I did because they fit perfectly. My only complaint is, there is a "Frye" tag sewn to the inside of the boot & hits around the mid shin area, it rubs against my skin & leaves scratch marks. I assume that will go away after I wear them in though.

I bought the Sabrina in sunrise a couple of years ago and adored it. I recently ordered it in the burnt red pebble and dark brown pebble, and it appears that the design has changed slightly when they started using pebble leather in this design. The block heel used to be a little bit bigger (like the campus but taller). Now it's a bit less chunky like the Jane (which is disappointing since I loved the chunkiness). The shoe is a bit more snug in the foot and the shaft, but still fits in size 8. Also the foot is lined with fabric, and used to be all leather lining. I think the design changes are not for the better, but the Sabrina is still a beautiful boot, so I will still give it 5 stars. I would have given the old style 10 stars.

Is it fall yet? I can not wait to wear these boots. I ordered both an 8 and an 8.5. I am keeping the size 8. The round toe-box is very accommodating.

I love it, I love it, I love it! I got my Sabrina 14L in banana yesterday and excitedly opened the box,and was I instantly wowed! It's the color you see on the nice lady in the video. It's my first boots in this color (haven't strayed from the usual blacks and browns) and I'm so glad I went for this as I think it will just go with anything too .Anyways, I fit between a 5.5 to a 6 but decided to go for the 6 as there were lots of reviews saying theirs were a challenge to get on and off at first. I really don't know what my calf size is but I went straight to business and whoa!my feet slid right in without the slightest struggle-like Cinderella (lol). I walked around it in the living room and they are truly comfortable. The heels seemed to have a pad/cushion and the height is perfect for me as I prefer boots with heels since I am on the shorter side,a mere 5'2. the boots seemed to elongate my legs.the shaft circumference is right for me that when I tucked my pants,tights(even have enough room for thicker socks)it won't have that annoying gaping look that'll appear you have bigger or thicker calves.In fact, it slender my legs. It's not a femme fatale boots but I would describe it more as a smart chic boots and classic. I can move easily with it or even run!quality of the boots, leather and all, uber good! I am so happy with my purchase and Zappos are amazing for delivering me the boots immediately the next day after I ordered it.thanks very much Zappos! :)
