These are absolutely beautiful but too tall and they hit me in the middle of the knee and if looked like I had "knee fat". So I returned for Melissa button zip-ups. Great boot and just have to have longer legs.

Beautifully made boots! They were too big around the calf for me and looked more casual than I wanted. I ended up with the Melissa and love it!

I originally ordered the Melissa Button Boot in Fawn from Frye directly (because my size was not in stock at Zappos). The measurements listed on all websites were very off, the shaft height was not 14 inches as listed, more like 12. I am short 5'4", and these were way too short for me - a very awkward height. So I decided to try the Melissa Trapunto in Olive. Love at first sight, amazing! They are not as olivey in real life, a little darker and more grey toned, but a wonderful neutral that will go with everything and not just basic black or brown boots. The leather is a little stiff, which may be a complaint for some, but I actually like this as it keeps the boot upright and tall. I am sure it will relax a little with wear. The only complaint, the sole had a big (dime size) gouge where it was ripped. It is not noticeable, and I normally wouldn't even care. But for the amount of money that I am paying, I couldn't let it go. I called Zappos and spoke with Chandra, who was amazing, totally agreed with me and sent me a new pair! I love Zappos, their friendly and helpful customer service makes all the difference. I wish they carried everything I wanted to buy online, I would never purchase anywhere else! Thank you Zappos, you are the best! And to anyone hesitating on buying this boot, do it, they are not too tall...even for a shorty like me, and they are beautiful!

These boots are just beautiful, I love them! They are very stylish, rustic and I get compliments on them every time I wear them. The leather is quite stiff, but I think it will soften with time. They are a little difficult to get my foot into, but with a little push, they are on! I would recommend these boots, my all time favorite Frye boot!

Beautiful boots! They are a little stiff out of the box, but I am sure they will loosen up like my other Frye boots have. I am happy to end my search for the perfect black boots.

I returned a different style for these boots. I have very narrow feet, and these fit so well and are so comfortable, from the moment I put them on my feet. The high top of the boot is soft at that point, so it just gives with my legs, when needed. The color is beautiful. I may consider having a non slip sole put on these, in order to avoid any falls in winter weather.

These are awesome all around. Love the finish, the boot is hard to get OFF but there are two inner, simple ribbon loop pulls on each side for pulling on, great design by Frye.

Loving Fryes for many years, I decided to update my wardrobe and ordered several pairs from Zappos to try. These antique black boots are exactly what I was looking for: not shiny black, an Emma Swan appeal, big enough at the top to comfortably tuck in any skinny pants, and classic enough to last for a very long time. Dress up, dress down -- wear them every day. Leather is gorgeous. Happy with my choices.

Love, love, love them with one caveat: they're a little TOO tall. I'm 5'9 and usually find that boots aren't tall enough. The color is beautiful. They arrived with a grey/white waxy coating that we brushed off with a little bit of effort. I wish they came in a lug sole.

I was able to score this boot in the Antiqued Tan size 11 for a great price. They are awesome! I was really wanting the Frye Paige Tall in the Cognac, but they were sold out. I ended up getting these and love them! I'm tall with very long legs, so the extra height in the shaft is exactly what I was looking for. Very comfy with right out of the box and I am so glad I bought them. The color is beautiful! Like always...Zappos rocks with shipping the very next day.

I absolutely love these boots. I've been wearing them around the house for 2 days now and each time I put them on they are more comfortable. I ordered a 9 in the cognac antique and it is the most beautiful color. Dark brown undertone with highlights of deep brown almost black. So these "brown" boots look awesome with black or brown. One thing I was nervous about was the height of the boot. I'm 5'6 and the boot is a big snug around my calf and hits right below my knee - so I was worried my pants might bunch. But the more I wear them they are slowly getting looser. Haven't worn them outside yet cause I'm in guilt mode with the price. These are very expensive. But the are so beautifully made with such quality material - I am slowly justifying my purchase. I also ordered Melissa Button and Carson Riding to compare styles and the Trapunto are by far my favs and the ones I want to keep. Thanks Zappos for such quick shipping.

Gorgeous! They did come with a little white powder on the leather that I had to "buff" out with a towel and they are a little tight in the calf where the braiding is, but they are also beautiful and stylish. I somehow snagged these in the antique tan for a steal of a deal (a huge percentage off) and am so excited to show them off this winter.

I wanted a tall black boot that could actually use on horseback and for fashion. I ordered three different Fryes, and, while I loved the Paige Tall Riding in pictures, it didn't fit nearly as well as this Melissa--an 8 was too narrow and was uncomfortable. Admittedly, I wear fairly thick socks most of the time. And the look was just a little too pirate-y in person. This boot is tall on me (I'm 5'3") but is very comfortable because of the slit at the back top. Beautifully made, as all Fryes are. The heel is a little wider than I need, like many boots, but heel/arch supports will take care of that. A good investment.

This boot is amazing, I ended up getting in brown, but ordered both to compare. Love them both, but one can only afford so many pairs of Frye boots.. ;-)I normally wear a 9.5 or 10 and this 9 fit me perfectly.

These were beautiful boots, but they were too tight around the calf of my leg making them very difficult to get on and off. There was no way possible I could have got them on wearing jeans. A very small fitting boot, shank wise; foot size, 5.5, they fit perfectly.

They are definitely more olive than they look in the pictures and run a little large. They are definitely well constructed and look cool but I'll have to exchange them for a 1/2 size smaller.

These are gorgeous boots. They look vintage-dressy, not too boho. However, they are tall. I am 5'3" with short legs and the boots came up to my lower kneecaps. I debated keeping them because they are such a good looking boot. But I looked like a munchkin wearing my mom's boots.

These boots are really beautiful... but they are probably only fit for models though. If you do not have slim long legs, this is not for you. I'm pretty skinny and the boots weren't too tall for me (like on other reviews where people complained of them hitting the knee) but still had issues getting them on/off. It literally took me 3 tries to slip them on and my boyfriend had to pull them off. This makes them totally impractical. Also, the leather is super stiff, and this isn't true of all FRYE BOOTS. Last, but not least, DO NOT make the mistake of wearing them in anything other than a flat surface... the first day I tried them outside I went down a ramp and wiped out, they are VERY SLIPPERY. Overall, a boot to die for, but almost too literally for my taste. Returning them thanks to ZAPPOS and their AMAZING customer service <3 !!! Will keep searching for the perfect riding boot (NYC-friendly).

When I ordered these boots, I was so excited about getting them in the mail. Before buying them online, I went to a department store that carried Frye and tried on these exact boots to figure out what size I would need. When the boots arrived (the day after I placed my order - Zappos always rocks it out in the shipping department) I was so disappointed to discover that the left shoe was defected. The leather lining in the boot was so baggy and stretched out that any time I but my foot in the boot, the leather would gather at the heel and stop me from being able to pull it on. Remembering that I had gotten a "only two left in this style" message when I placed the order, I quickly called Zappos in hopes that I could arrange an exchange before they were sold out. Zappos customer service is top notch. They had a second pair rush delivered to my house and it was there by the next day. The only issue was that the second pair they sent wasn't the original color I ordered. I figured that I would still try them on though and to my shock and awe, the right boot had the exact same baggy leather lining issue as the first pair. Once again, I called Zappos and they were more than willing to help me get the situation sorted out. They rush shipped a third pair of boots after I decided to go with a different color and the customer service rep I worked with made it a point to verify that the next boots that we're shipped came in perfect condition. And boy are they perfect. The leather is so sturdy yet supple. The color is magnificent (I have the olive). And they fit wonderfully. Thanks Zappos for making my shipping experience so fantastic too! You guys are the bomb!

Unfortunately these are just too tall for my short legs. Accurate sizing. The ankle area is wider, kind of like a Wellington boot. Lovely olive color.

I was thinking these boots would be more roomy around the calf because they have a slit in the back, but they are still very tight right at the top where the stitching is. I always have trouble fitting into boots though, so this is not very surprising, but...they are not extra roomy around the calves.

Gorgeous color and nice quality leather. However, I have to return the boots because they are wide around the ankle and the inner leather lining is so loose that it pulls down when putting the boots on and wraps makes folds around the heel.

The boots are cute, but a far cry from black. They are closer to gray, which is disappointing since the overall style is more indicative of a professional boot rather than a casual boot, which is all I would wear them for. Unfortunately, I can't afford to spend close to this much on casual boots that I can't wear to work. I will be returning them ASAP.

Unfortunately this item did not work for me for the following reasons: 1) The boot definitely runs a half size big. I am between an 8 and 8.5 (I wear an 8.5 in other styles of Frye boots). I ordered the 8.5 and this one felt more like a 9. For reference, I usually wear thin workout-type socks with my boots. 2) The shaft of the boot feels like there is no taper between the ankle and the upper calf, therefore making the ankle area of the boot feel very large and bulky. For these two reasons I had to send the boot back. However, I did order another pair (Melissa Button) and am hopeful that that pair will be the elusive "wear everywhere" boot.
