I mean honestly a review is not even needed - I think everybody knows that these boots are awesome! They are super comfortable and I would wear them every day if I could - makes me ready for fall again!

I bought these boots a couple months ago and I haven't regretted it yet! Best quality and so comfy!! These boots literally go with any outfit and are well worth the investment!

These boots are GORGEOUS!!! You can feel (and smell) the incredible quality of these boots. I've been searching for a nice pair like these for years and I'm so glad I found them. My calf is 15 inches and I wear a 7 but I bought these in 7.5 to accommodate for thick socks and I can wear leggings with these, but not jeans until they give a bit. The cognac color is rich and lovely. Worth the investment!

These boots are great! I have 16" athletic calves and have a very hard time finding boots. These slipped on no problem. Going to order another pair. I also have a fairly wide foot, I usually wear a 9, and that's what I ordered. Perfect fit, it not a little big

I am very happy with my new boots! They are beautifully made. It will take a little time breaking them in, but the very first day they were actually pretty comfortable. I got the extended version, and find the little bit of extra room nice. They look super cute with my leggings, skirts and jeans.

I thought about these boots for two years before I finally took the plunge. Unfortunately I have to return because the shaft is too darn small! My calves are 15 inches, but I am also short. As a result, the boot was extremely snug, not allowing it to extend all the way up my leg, causing slouching in the ankle area. Such a shame, they are otherwise beautiful boots!

I bought these shoes in black almost exactly a year ago and have worn them almost every day since. They are beautiful on, make every outfit look elegant (including my yoga leggings somehow), and are very comfortable even after 12 hours on my feet. To my disappointment, the lining in the inside of the heel ripped about 2 weeks ago so I called customer service. They were luckily still covered under warranty (it'd been 51wks), they promptly sent me a shipping label to send my old ones back, and gave me store credit once they determined the lining couldn't be replaced. At first I was angry that the lining ripped on such expensive shoes and was going to get an unlined pair as the replacement. I was also disappointed they couldn't be fixed because they were so perfectly worn in. But considering how good the customer service was, and how great of a boot it was even for 51 weeks, I decided to get the exact same pair. Reflecting, some things I did may have led to the tear. 1) I'm between an 8.5 and a 9. The original pair was an 8.5 and I would often have to yank the boot off at the end of the day due to my feet swelling (especially in the summer). 2) My heel would often get stuck if I wasn't wearing a tall sock (they'd roll under my foot) to the point where I would need help getting the boot off due to the skin on leather friction. I know caused the lining to stretch. So for the new pair I ordered a 9 and have vowed to myself to only wear tall socks with them. As a side thought, I would describe myself as a person who "has sticks for legs" as some of the other reviewers have called us, and the wide doesn't seem that wide to me as a heads up for anyone who may have more athletic calves (I'm 5'10" 130lbs for reference). The original pair was purchased in a wide because that was all that was in stock. There is definitely extra room in the calf, but so much room that I didn't want the wide this go-around. I hope this review is helpful for anyone on the fence about this boot or about The Frye Company in general . I haven't received my new pair yet, and I'll certainly amend my five star review if a tear happens again despite the new precautions.

I have wanted these boots for years and I'm happy to say my purchase lived up to my expectations! They are gorgeous. I'm glad I decided to go with extended calf. I measured my calfs the best I could and they were 15-15&1/2 approximately. These are perfect! I can wear them over leggings and jeans and they are not too tight (but not too big either). The length runs pretty true to size in my opinion but if you are in between sizes, I would go to the larger 1/2 size. These boots are so high quality and just beautiful. I'm so happy I finally splurged to get them!

I own these boots in brown and black. I agree with others that they are initially tight but they do stretch. I wore mine around the house, tags on, over a period of a week before deciding to keep them. Glad I did. Very comfortable. I have had strangers stop me to compliment and ask if they are Frye and where they were puchased.

Love these boots! They are well made and were comfortable right out of the box. Getting them on my foot wasn't an issue, even with my high insteps. The extended calf gave me plenty of room. I had tried the regular calf in these boots and they were just a bit snug at the top, as well as a struggle to get on. Thank You, Zappos for your patience while I tried on and returned so many boots.

These boots are beautiful and timeless. Very well-made and gorgeous detail. The calf is a bit narrower than most other boots.

I absolutely LOVE this boot!!! My calves are 14.5 inches around, so the non-extended boot was way too tight, but this boot fits perfectly. Getting the extended calf also lessened the ankle bunch that was occurring with the regular calf size!! It took several tries, but I am happy I didn't give up because I've been wanting this boot for years! I'm normally a 7.5, but the 7 in this boot is what fits me.

Fit great, look great! The leather is nice and soft. I have a muscular calf and find it hard to fit tall boots, but the wide calf were perfect. They didn't gap at the top and look great.

Love these! I'm 5'7 140 lbs and the extended calf was great. I originally ordered a 10 but returned for a 9.5. I might've been able to go to a 9, but my feet get bigger with each pregnancy. I can easily wear leggings or jeans with them.

I have been searching for a long time for a pair of brown riding boots that fit me and I finally found them! They are beautiful and of very good quality. I am short (5'1") and these come just below my knee...not too high. I also have thicker calves so I ordered the extended calf which provided just enough extra room to fit with skinny jeans. They look great! Very happy and look forward to wearing them many years to come.

These boots are worth the price. I was hesitant to spend the money at first, but when the boots arrived I knew I had made the right choice. The color (I purchased black) and leather quality are like no other boots. I purchased the extended calf and they fit perfect. They were difficult to slip on the first couple times I wore them, but now my foot slides right in the boot with no problem. Worth the money, especially when they are over $100 off.

These are beautiful, well made boots. I purchased them in black and they look just like the picture with a nice matte leather. In my search to find a boot for a wide calf, I read all the reviews trying to see how others sizing compared with mine. I will list my measurements with the hope that it may help some of you trying to decide if this boot will fit you. Age 59- therefore my calves are a bit flabby, however I am a walker. Height 5'4- The boot sits 2inches below my knee which is perfect. My widest calf measures 14 7/8. FYI, my left calf is only 14 1/2 so make sure you measure both calves. I am able to pull these boots over a pair of skinny jeans. It was not a struggle, but there is no extra room. Size 9-My foot is barely a 9 so these were true to size. Plenty of room in the toe. I have a medium width foot with a very slight bunion and it is fine. I have a high arch and I had no problem pulling them on. I had a bit of a slip in the ankles with nylon footies. My husband has custom boots and was told that an ankle slip is normal until your foot & boot conform. I wore them with a lighter weight cotton knee high and they were comfortable with no slip. They would be too tight with a heavy sock. These are a riding boot so you are not going to find comfortable arch support or cushion. They do wrinkle a bit at the ankle but it doesn't rub or affect comfort. I have only worn these for one full rainy Seattle day. They were comfortable, my feet did not hurt by the end of the day and after walking through multiple puddles my feet stayed dry and the leather looks great.
