Customer Reviews Frye Tyler Lace Up

Man, I really wanted to like this boot. It looks great and was exactly what I was looking for, however, these boots are incredible mis-sized. I tried several pairs, but just could not make it work. These boots just did not like my feet. I am a standard D width, so I can only echo what other reviewers have said - they run very narrow. Every foot is different, so maybe you can squeeze into these, but I wore them a few times and they were just painful. The only other option is to size up a lot, but then you have a very long boot with too much toe room. As always, Zappos heard my concerns and I was able to return them. It just was not meant to be.

Yes, these look great and appear well made. They better be for that much. My gripe though is the lack of any arch support or comfort for the innersole. The flat piece of plywood they designed for the foot bed is glued in and you can't get it out. Good luck finding super thin inserts. Even then, it's just annoying as all heck that these guys refuse to think about the foot anatomically. If they would just be comfortable I would spend even more just to have these but NO. Tradition trumps evolution. I tried on a total of five different models from this manufacturer and it was the same outcome - zero comfort. Try for yourself but be prepared to be bummed out.

Great shoe. However, this particular boots leather is very soft. Not like any other leather boot I have owned. Its quality leather but if you are looking for something a little more rugged as opposed to stylish you might want to try on a pair before ordering. I wear a size 13 and the 13 boot I got feels more like a 14 or 13.5. Also these boots will soak up water! I would recommend some sort of waterproofing because a quick walk in a rainy downtown will mean wet socks. Overall great shoe but more show horse than plow horse.

Boot came unglued around the toe portion after 14 months. I expected a lot more from these considering the name/price.

All the comments about inaccurate sizing,foot bed width issues,premature wear,glued parts failure, seam stitching coming apart and difficulty in putting on should be a BIG RED FLAG to those of you who have not had the pleasure of purchasing Frye products. It comes down to their corporate choice of outsourcing manufacturing to Asia and other areas known for low wages,inadequately trained shoe makers and poor managerial oversight. Frye can advertise that the hides are from Italy or Spain or wherever but that becomes irrelevant once that leather is brought to the Asian sweat shops. Corporate greed drives this and the uninformed customer ends up carrying the burden that greed creates by struggling to make their new shoes fit and wear properly. Can you imagine being pleased because you were able to finally find a size that fits you after several inconvenient returns and then to wear your new shoes for a whole eight hours and not have a blister or a whole two months before parts come unglued or seam stitches give out? Shoes and boots made in Italy, America, the UK and Spain are the only footwear you'll find in my closet and every single company represented backs up their product with a lifetime warranty against premature failure and the belief that if they provide quality and service they will have a repeat customer for life. I'm not naming names...do your own research and you'll soon know who they are. Until Frye makes the decision to once again provide the highest consistent manufacturing quality and respect their customers and their own historic legacy by providing the best that they can, I'll not support them with my hard earned money.

These are BEAUTIFUL in the picture. They are not shaped like human feet, though. They're extremely narrow, and the toe box is incredibly long. I ordered a US size 11. They were about as long as a size 12, but about as wide as a size 10. They looked VERY odd when I put them on. That being said, the build quality and materials appear to be just outstanding... which is a shame, because they are simply unwearable. I'm super bummed.

These boots are beautiful, but their price far outstrips their quality. I had these for about three weeks before the metal eyelets began popping off apparently the stress from unlacing the top pairs to put the shoes on and off was a bit too much for them. That did not, of course, bode well for a pair of boots I hoped would last me at least a couple of years. Thankfully Zappos Customer Service (to whom Frye directed me, to their credit) was incredibly helpful, as usual, and allowed me to return the defective boots without issue.

THIS BOOT IS TOO NARROW. I BOUGHT THEM FOR MY HUSBAND AS A VALENTINE'S GIFT BUT THEY WERE NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL! HE ASKED ME TO RETURN THEM.

They look fantastic, fit true to size, feel fan-freaking-tastic right out of the box, but aren't well made. I expected more from Frye, considering my mother still has hers from back in her 'flower child' days... I wanted to invest in a pair myself, thinking they'd last forever. Not this pair... I ended up getting them as a gift, before I could buy them myself. My only criticism is with that rubber 'insert' on the sole, for traction. They've GLUED on.... and come unglued far too quickly. (less than a year, without any 'hard' use, and only as PART of my shoe rotation). I tried to contact Frye for replacement, since I hardly wore them at all... Nothing, except for me to send them out to get resoled for $75-100. Does that sound ridiculous to anyone else? Expensive boots should last longer than that before coming apart... Tried to leave a negative review on their website, so other potential buyers know what they could be getting into... and they never posted my review! what's the point of a review system if you're just going to filter which ones are visible to buyers?? Zappos is fantastic. Great company to deal with. But these boots aren't worth the money...

Do not buy these shoes. I wore through the soles in less than two months of wearing them every day. I returned them and got another pair. In just over one month the rubber on the sole is already worn through. If you just sit or stand around and want to look stylish - these might be good for you. However if you actually work on your feet and like to party, these are a terrible choice. Oh yeah - and they do not grip a wet floor at all. I might as well wear banana peels on my feet. Very disappointed for a pair of boots costing this much.
