Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button

Just as the description! They are gorgeous. They are not as comfortable as I anticipated based on reviews but maybe I have not broken them in yet. Fast shipping as always with zappos.

Too big around the calf. I must have the most stick legs in the nation because these were too baggy around them and created more of a cowboy look than I would have preferred. Comfortable though! But I will be returning these.

Here is my review after wearing these boots for one month Design: I got the brown antique soft full grain boots and they looked just like the picture. Deep brown with a slight reddish tone. The side buttons and the top dips create a great silhouette from the front and back. I love the little bit of slouch at the ankle. While they are a western boot, they can be dressed up easily, and I wear them to my business casual (emphasis on the casual) workplace. Wear and Tear: I was disappointed that my boots have 2 spots where the stitching would probably come out a bit if I fiddled with it. I didn't notice this until I had worn them for a few days. It is a minor problem, but I was expecting perfect stitching for the price of the boot. I've gotten a few scuffs on the inside/front of each boot from the hard sole of the other boot grazing it, but it doesn't look out of place because of the other natural aberrations in the antiqued leather. The only traction is on the heel, but I haven't had any slips. The inner sole in one boot had an annoying bump near the ball of my foot at first, but that went away after a couple wears. Apart from that there was no real break-in period. No blisters! These boots are very comfortable and very warm! Sizing: In other shoes I am a 6 1/2; wide, or a regular 7. I ordered a 6 1/2; to start and tried on the boot with a sneaker sock. My foot made it in with a little effort (standing up, and with the help of the side tabs), but I didn't have any wiggle room. A friend of mine has had these boots for 2 years and said that my heel should be able to move up just a little with each step. I reordered the boot in a size 7 and they fit perfectly! There is a little extra room in the toe of the foot , but it does not look or feel strange. The boots fit nicely over my average-sized calves with leggings, tights, or skinny jeans.

Very stylish and comfortable boots. My only problem has been getting them over my ankles. I've worn them only a few times so hope that they will stretch so that I can get them on easily.

Ugh, these boots. i have had my Melissa Button ones for over a year. they are my 3rd pair of Frye boots. I love love love them. sole on one side has worn out and I've had another pair resoled but I wear them almost everyday. This is a beautiful pair of boots.

I have grown to adore these shoes but they were hard to get on at first. I ordered an 8.5, I usually wear an 8. I think Frye boots in general run a little small. But after breaking them in a little they are very comfortable, I personally can fit my pants in them and they look great with everything.

These are great quality boots as far as leather, fit and style. My only problem was getting them off because there is no zipper.

I got these in the chocolate vintage leather, the distressed one. I love how the boot looks, but they are not the most comfortable. This boot has no arch support whatsoever and my heels are sore at the end of the day, which is surprising because the heel is so small. Also, the leather is pretty thick, which is great, but as a result, it is very hard to break into. I just got mine and they stretched a tiny bit after walking around in the city for a whole day. These boots will accommodate those who have trouble finding riding boots that are too big in the calf; the shaft tailors to calf in a flattering shape so there is no "gap"; however, they are snug with skinny jeans and are difficult to get off. Also, I am disappointed to say that after 1 wear, I notice the threads coming off on the side tabs. It hasn't fallen apart, but I am worried with each wear they will loosen and come apart. Overall, love the style, but I'm not sure if I'll be buying another pair any time soon.

I purchased the brown Melissa Button boots. They are a very well-made boot, however, for me the type of leather was not what I wanted. It is very cracked/antique mottled looking leather and I really wanted a smooth finish. So just be careful of that. They are much more casual looking than I wanted. I wanted it a little bit dressier for work. The size was perfect. I am usually a 7 or 7.5 so I ordered the 7.5 and they are perfect. A little push to get them on and off, but with a few wears I am sure they will soften and stretch. Once you get your foot in, they are perfectly roomy. Also, the color was not as rich looking, so I would go for the dark brown if you are looking for something a little more classic.

Overall I like these boots, but I am hoping that they break in quite a bit over time. I have problem feet; they are narrow at the heel but wide in the toe area. The leather on these boots is pretty stiff, unlike my other two pair, the Dorado Low and the Paige Tall Riding, which have soft, supple leather. Anyway, the stiffer leather makes it feel like it will be hard to stretch these boots out to fit at the toe box. Also, after walking around at a fair all day on soft ground my heels were sore. These boots offer very little cushioning or support. But, I did get some compliments on them. They are just not as comfortable as I had hoped. Overall these are nice boots, but not my favorite Fryes.

I got the Melissa buttons in cognac. I am 5 feet tall and they are just the right height. They are super high quality leather. I had no problem slipping the boot on, I know there has been other reviews where that was an issue. Plenty of room to tuck pants in, I can't wait to wear them out! Only drawback is that the sole is smooth. I'll have to get a non skid sole to put in the bottom. So, for that reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. I do believe they run a 1/2 size large. I am usually a 5.5-6 the 6 was huge. My heel lifted and I immediately sent them back. You want them to be snug to prevent chafing, but loose enough you don't get sores. As always, Zappos is great with returns an exchanges. I tried 2 pairs of Frye boots before finding my 'true love' with these. Why buy shoes anywhere else?

I ordered my usual size, 9.5 and they were really roomy and floppy. A half size smaller felt really narrow and constricting but I decided to give them a go and they did stretch enough to wear thinner socks. I'm hoping by next winter I'll be able to cram in my usual Smartwool socks. A sales clerk told me that Frye runs big and not to buy my usual size because they'd feel like boats. Glad I listened and avoided a sloppy fit. Love the fawn color. Goes with everything.

My heel slipped so much in these I had to return them. I wear an 8, sometimes a 7.5, and bought these in an 8 because my foot is quite wide and I have a very high instep. Boots went on like a charm and were comfortable in width, just too long in the toe box. I could have lived with that if not for huge heel slippage. Cute boot, I got the fawn which is an olive color.

I've always wanted a pair of Frye boots. Unfortunately I have to send these back. My heel slips out when I walk and I can't go to a narrow because it fits perfectly on the rest of my foot. So sad.

True to size. Comfortable. I love them. Only one complaint: small cut in the leather.

I got these in fawn and they're a gorgeous, unique colour that matches all. I've gotten many compliments. The size was true, but I had to use a shoehorn for the first week to get them on. The price has been raised since I purchased them. I wonder about the leather sole's durability, but love them too much to care right now.

These boots are so well made and adorable...perfect for a good daily use boot. Unfortunately they are going back because there is just too much of a gap between the boot and my calf. I have to say that they are perhaps the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever put on, even more than Cole Haan (which I am loyal to). I would definitely recommend Frye boots if you have an average calf size and are looking for style. One drawback: these have no traction on the bottom and could potentially be slippery on ice or other surfaces that are slick.

I love these boots! I ordered a half size smaller and they fit nicely. Like someone else had mentioned, however, they are a little difficult to get on. But once they are on, they feel great! Love the chocolate brown color too.

For as much as I spent on these boots, my calves hardly fit in them. I have larger than average calves, so tucking in a pair of jeans to these is out of the question. I still wear them because they are so comfortable, the leather is beautiful and they look great under a pair of boot cut jeans. The leather will give a bit after much wear, causing bunching around the ankle, but I pretty much play in the dirt with these, so I'm not too concerned about that.

I splurged for a pair of red Carson's last year so I expected this boot to be just as fabulous. The leather wasn't even close to being as soft but the color (natural brush off) is amazing (just like the picture) and style is what I've always been looking for. Very casual but chic. The sizing does run large but I think they'll be too small if I size down. I plan on adding a foot cushion inside anyway as the heel area has a bulge that can felt that's a bit annoying. I'm 5'2 and the height is just fine, it doesn't reach my knee like other shorties said. I have larger calves and it will be a struggle, if not nearly impossible, to fit jeans inside. It will only work if they stretch some. I wouldn't have even thought about buying them anywhere other than Zappos - they are always wonderful.

This boot is very classy but also casual looking. I am 5'3 and have athletic calves (14), and there is definitely no room for anything other than the skinniest of skinny jeans or tights. It is also extremely difficult to get the boot on and off, but the 7.5 size feels like an 8 in any other shoe so it won't work to get a bigger size in order to get more calf room in the boot.This boot feels like it will last forever! Once it's on, its very very comfortable. The hard part is just getting them on and off. Hopefully they will stretch out a little bit.

Finally the search for the perfect boot is over! I wanted a high quality boot with a timeless style that I could also actually go horseback riding with. Well, I haven't ridden with them yet but I plan to and I think these will work and will clean up well for regular wear. I have a really hard time finding boots because I have pretty thin calves. These fit perfectly over skinny jeans and maybe even with tights. A little gap but something I might be able to have taken in if the shaft stretches at all. I have tried the Frye Harness boot in the past but ended up selling them on eBay because I just couldn't break them in. The Melissa Button was much softer and more flexible. The toe box feels a little tight but I wore them all day today...even on an easy walk/hike in the woods and they felt very comfortable. I am usually a size 10 or 11 (probably a true 10.5 although very few shoes come in that size). I ordered the 9.5 and they seem to be just right. If I got the 10 I worry they would end up stretching too much but I felt that the 9.5 would end up perfect after a brief break in period. I love the Cognac color too. A really nice, medium brown. Not too red. Yes, the bottom is a little slippery. But I like the leather soles and they do get roughed up with wear. There is also some heel slip but it is my understanding that it's normal for boots like this. I don't find it uncomfortable but I do like wearing clogs so maybe it's me! I didn't have too much trouble getting them on either as others mentioned. They need a little shove but no major struggle. Good luck in your boot shopping. I recommend giving these a shot. They are really gorgeous!
