Customer Reviews Frye Logan Cap Toe

I got a great deal on these boots from another retailer (I think that they discontinued the color) but I felt like this might be the best place to give feedback. These are nice boots, but I would say that chippewa and red wings are a bit better. I own pairs of all three and I find the frye's to be the most expensive and probably the least well thought out. First the leather they use while very very soft, is also very thin. The tongue of the boot is made of the same material and is not sewn into the sides so I flops around freely they have a slot through the tongue where the laces can pass, but because the leather is so soft and thin the laces do not pass very freely. The laces are terrible, they look nice but because they are made of leather they don't slide through the lace holes very easily so you almost have to pull the laces out every time to put them on a snug them up. Couple that with the slot in the tongue and these are very difficult boots to throw on and go out the door. These boots also don't have speed laces on the upper holes, which also exacerbate this issue. I changed the laces for iron laces and they work a lot better, though look less nice. The boots look nice, and the toe box is wide so if you need the space these are good for that, I use orthotics and they run a little big, so they are good for that. They do not have a removable insole, which a lot of chippewas, even on the cheaper end come with. Overall these are pretty good, but for the price I would probably go with an red wing iron ranger, or chippewa homestead boot. They are also made in USA, and probably are a better bargain.

The stonewash was exaggerated. Which makes the shoes less worth what is charged on those shoes. I think I will return them because I still can not come up with a reason for which I have paid this much for this shoe. I was looking for style and durability but it did not work.
