Customer Reviews Frye Rider Logo

Money well spent! These boots are not only well made, but they are also quite stylish and very comfortable. Opened the box, put them on and off I went---comfy from the start. I would definitely recommend these boots to all.

I love these boots! Both the black & redwood colors are beautiful &, of course, very well made. But the boots are absolutely stunning in the redwood! The logo shows up much better & they are more unique looking in the redwood color than in the black. Strangers stop to ask me about them & both male & female friends notice & compliment them! I had wanted Frye boots for years but not only had the price stopped me from buying but I have a narrow foot & the Frye boots I had tried on were always too wide. The Dorado Riding boots were beautiful but were so big on my narrow foot that I could just kick them off. I initially ordered my normal size 7 1/2 in black & the redwood in size 7. I wound up sending both back & getting the redwood in a 6 1/2, a full size smaller than I usually wear. Not only are these boots gorgeous but they were very comfortable from day 1. There was no break in time as I had expected. They are very well made. The soles are textured to avoid slipping & the rubber on the back end of the heel makes walking very easy & comfortable too. Even though I've had them a few weeks I have worn them many times & they are extremely comfortable, they fit well, are beautiful & I get so many compliments! They are well worth the money! And I am so thankful to have these boots! Did I mention that I love these boots?

These boots are of amazing quality. The online video helps to eye the quality or lack of. I have ordered several items through Zappos and have had excellent results. Their no hassle return policy only adds to the pleasant shopping experience.

This boot is stunning. Superb styling. Stiff (stands straight, doesn't bend) but gorgeous leather. I'm 5'2 and the back of the boot hits 1.5" below the bend of the back of my knee. I was afraid it would be too tall but good thing I wear a 6. Of course, the bigger the size, the taller the shaft.

Really pretty boots. Quality leather. Unfortunately, I had to return mine because they were just too tall. They were so tall on my leg that I was unable to sit down comfortably. There is more than enough to tuck pants into them if you have to. Best to buy straight leg pants though. But lots and lots of room if need be. Since they are Frye, a predominately western style boot, they do have a pointy, upward turning toe. Frye quality definitely seems to be there.

These boots are amazing! I've had them for about a month now, and wear them a lot. They are very comfortable, stylish and look good. I'm thinking about ordering them in black as well.

OK, I literally just got these 15 minutes ago. OMG, they are amazing. Stunning quality. I am a Frye boot girl from way back. If you want statement boots, riding boot style these are it. I know they are pricey but you will understand when you slip them on. Absolutely a 1/2 large so go down. I am 5'11; with long legs and the back of the boot is just an inch and a half below the back bend of my knee. I also have slender legs but they look great and will accommodate skinny jeans. I hesitate recommending to ladies with larger calves but hey the quality is worth giving them a try.

I am finally purchasing my first pair of Frye boots. I have been drooling over Frye boots for years now. Well, this is my second pair I have ordered and had to send back. I wear a size 11 in every shoe and boot except in Frye. I will be ordering a size 10 next. This boot is beautiful. I love the strong tower of leather. I wish more boots were like this. I bought a pair of Charles David over the knee boots and the quality didn't come close to this boot. Frye was cheaper. With the Rider Logo, I wish it came in a cognac color. I want more contrast with darker jeans. This boot was a little darker than anticipated. The calf was a little wider, but great for skinny jeans. I think that will change for the better when I go to a size 10. I also wasn't too happy with the sharper toe look. What I am really looking for is a Frye version of an English riding boot. Love the top half of this boot, but would really like a more rounded toe... less western. Otherwise, I am excited about continuing to try out all the Frye options.

These are beautiful boots and the shaft height being too tall I would think depends on how long-legged you are. I'm 5'4" and they're perfect. They are tight around the toe but I have bunions and am hoping they'll break in. I thought about purchasing the Dorado, but these are better with one pull tab on the outside. The shaft circumference is a tad, just a tad large, but that's ok because you can fit jeans, other than just skinny jeans, into them. They're pricey, but I'm hoping for years of wear as advertised. I recommend purchasing these boots, and I'm just hoping I can break the width in after some wear.

Oh jeez, I loved these boots, but my leg is just too skinny for these. Had to return them.

This boot is gorgeous. I tried the Frye Dorado Riding boot first, but as great looking as it was, it just didn't fit. Like most reviewers I found it tight in the toes and wide in the heel. I called Frye directly to ask advice about whether it might "break in," but she suggested I try this boot, and she was right. This boot fits perfectly, and it feels comfortable right out of the box, just as most Frye boots I have tried. The only issue is that the shaft is very high. I am tall and long legged, but it still hits the back of my knee when I bend my leg to sit. It's not a problem, but I could see that it would be if someone were shorter.

I received these boots as a gift and I have had them for almost a week and I love them! They are super comfortable and very stylish! I normally wear a 7 or 7½ and I received a 7. They are a little big but they work! I wouldn't want them any smaller! I got the dark brown color and now I want to order them in black, they are really great boots!

Just received these boots. Boot is nice, color is beautiful, except; I would have been happy if they were not so pointy-toed. Not really looking for the Texan look. Apart from that I believe (would have loved) a zipper would have been more user friendly. Would be easier to put on and and take off. My daughter had to help me pull them off. Not liking that! I'm returning them.

Beatiful boot but too narrow for my calf. A little bit too western for my taste.

These boots are GORGEOUS. If only they fit me! The shaft is PERFECT. First boots I've ever had that truly fit like a riding boot. However, my feet won't stay down when I walk. In other words, my heels slip up with every step. I've never had anything like that happen. I was also a bit disappointed that these are made in Mexico. However, the leather is gorgeous, the cut-out logo is stunning. I was crushed that they just didn't fit properly.

I am so sad that I have to return these! The length was about a size too big and the calf was so narrow that I could not even get them on all the way! I do not have large calves by any means so this was very odd. These were my favorites and I am so sad that they did not work out.

These are beautiful boots, but the calf dimension is very skinny! I have other Frye boots and they are perfect, but these fit very tight around the calf.

Love them. Bought them in both redwood (gorgeous) and black. Get compliments every time I wear them. Great fit, true to size.

These are truly an elegant riding boot. Not since I left the equestrian world have I had a boot this beautiful. Wonderful craftsmanship and stunning logo on outside of the calf. I normally wear an 8 1/2 and took a 9 in these because the 8 1/2 was out of stock. I will be keeping the 9. With a heavier sock they are perfect. No slip at the heel at all. Again, another Frye keeper that you will have for years. This is my 3rd pair.

These are the most beautiful shoes I own. I am usually a 7 to 7 1/2 and the size 7 in these boots fit perfect. I wrote this review to tell women with normal sized calves (i.e. not plus sized, no offense) that these boots are perfect. I am 5'4 and 115 lbs and these boots can fit skinny jeans, tights, nothing. The leather is so beautiful in person. I bought to redwood color. They honestly go with everything. They are so comfortable sometimes I forget I have them on. Also, they do not cause blisters. You can wear the for miles. These are in investment but will last for years. Also, They are stiff so they stay upright.

These boots were a gift to my daughter. She loves them and so does her boyfriend. I think they look great and considered buying a pair for myself!

I own a number of Frye boots. The Frye Rider Logo is a very nice slips on boot with a very nicely applied logo on the side. I chose the black because I wanted a relatively low key boot in black that would have a well constructed appearance and compliment whatever clothing I choose to wear with them. My calves are on the slim side and the shaft of the boot is adequate so that the boots pull on easily. The boots are comfortable. I will wear them casually as well as what I refer to as casual elegance. Velvet tights and a semi dressy jacket.

I have always bemoaned my skinny calves but for once there is a silver lining...these boots fit! As others have said, they are beautiful works of art, I am almost afraid to wear them. I did go a half size larger and am glad I did. There is probably not room for jeans to be tucked into the boot, just leggings or tights. They are tall but I only notice when climbing stairs, so not really a problem (I am 5'3"). No zippers or gussets, so it takes some effort to get them off, but worth it for the look. Bought my last pair of Frye boots in 1979 for $100 (a lot at the time) and loved those too.

First off - this boot is amazing in person. Exactly as you would imagine, super quality leather, beautiful detailing, I could go on and on but I'm sure you're already sold on the style. I got it in Redwood and it's a perfect color. The cutout shows up nicely and it will go with both black and brown. Now, as for fit - I read a TON of reviews on this boot before I bought them. A lot of the reviews said to size down a half size. I would say that really depends on the person and your best bet is to order two pairs - one in your normal size and one a half size smaller and see which one works. I think the key thing is there is no side zipper - so if you have a smaller calf or slimmer feet I think a half size down would likely fit better. Also it will depend on what type of socks/tights/jeans/leggings you want to wear with them. For me, the 9.5 was too tight in the calf to wear over jeans and would not go on when I was wearing socks. I had to exchange for a 10 to be able to wear over pants though it's still a bit tight on the calf and takes some wiggling to get on and off. I also ordered the Frye Melissa logo boot (just couldn't help myself) and the fit is quite similar but with a larger calf. If these boots are too small in the calf I would suggest the Melissa as an alternative.
