The boots are wonderful except for the calf area. I could not zip up all the way because they were so narrow.

These are beautiful boots, but heel runs very narrow and are difficult to get on. I usually wear an 8 but found these ran a bit small. I’m hoping to size up.

These were nicely made boots however I did return them as the "shoe" part was a bit too chunky for my taste and the top of the boot did not fit snugly (I have narrow calves) so my jeans bunched up.

I'm 5'4" tall and the shaft of the boot hit right under my kneecap, making it uncomfortable as I walked. There was also a small puncture mark on one of the boots, which is more of a quality control issue.

I have needed a new pair of tall black boots for 2 years but I couldn't find a style I liked until I saw these! They just arrived tonight and they are gorgeous! Top quality, these will last forever. They are nearly impossible to get on however; the heel cup (for lack of the correct term) is super stiff, so I'd suggest thin or slippery socks and a shoe horn. I managed to get them on eventually and I'm sure the leather will give with time, but I think I gave myself a hernia. They rather remind me of my first pair of professional English riding boots when I used to ride horses. Stiff and challenging but they broke in with several wears. If your calf is any larger than 14" including jeans, get a wider version. These fit my calf perfectly but it's tight. The odd thing is that they stick out a bit on me on the outside of my kneecaps. But I guess everyone is built differently. All I can say is try them and if they don't work, send them back. I'm keeping mine :). They smell great too!

I have been wearing them in short intervals for the past week and they are still very stiff. Specifically the toe and food area is very stiff and inflexible. However, I do have faith they will eventually break in.

This is a beautiful pair of boots. It should be noted that the measurements here are for a size 6 and that they go up as the size goes up (I think by half an inch for each full size increase). So, the calf width was too big for my 14.25 inch calves- I could comfortably put my hand in the space that was left. Otherwise, beautiful boots.

I just got these boots and was initially heartbroken about it because it is very pretty, high-quality and just the style I wanted, but it was just so difficult to put on and snug on the foot bed. I was ready to return it and actually already requested a return label, and was already in a hunt for a replacement but couldn't find one as pretty as this Jayden boot so I decided to give it another try, walked some more for a longer time around the house and realized that the leather actually has some give and stretch to it! So I decided to keep and I really think it would have a better fit to it the more I wear it. I'm usually a size 6.5 and ordered the same size and I don't really want to go half size bigger. I have skinny legs and the shaft still have about 1.5 in gap with just tights on, but with jeans, the gap doesn't look that big.

The leather is too rough and it’s not as comfortable as expected. The color and style look great.

I bought this boot and was happy when I had it in my hands! Quality felt good and the weight of the boot was not too heavy. Then I tried it on. The calf was too large for me. I have an average calf size but this did not fit. Was sad to send it back!

These boots are beautiful and I love the look of them. Can be dressed up or down. I rated them 4 stars instead of 5 because they are initially very stiff and hard to break in. I've worn them several times, but can only wear them for short periods of time before they become uncomfortable. Hoping they become more comfortable with wear.

Lovely boot, love the bordeaux color, sizing is just a little off for me - I'm normally a 9 and the 9 is just a little large on me.

Purchased my first pair of Frye's in 1972. In the Campus style. I still have them and thought it was time for a new pair. I did need to purchase the Jayden's in the wide calf as my right leg is slightly larger than my left; I am 5'9". I can tuck in a pair of jeans, but will wear my riding breeche's with these. The "last" of the foot bed is very comfortable and shouldn't require much breaking in; I have thought about wearing wet socks for the break in period like breaking in a new pair of top line Riedell ice skates. I am not giving an excellent rating for this review for I have not worn these for any length of time. I did have the cobbler put a pair of taps on the heel as I tend to run the outside edges of my heels. They are very comfortable to start.

I needed a new pair of tall black boots. These are perfect! Gorgeous combo of soft suede and leather. Only complaint is the shaft was a bit narrow. They have stretched out;)

Beautiful boots, they are just a little stiff around the ankles at first and need to be broken in to be comfortable. They run a tad big.

I bought this for my daughter for a Christmas present for next year. She tried it on and it was a little stiff but after walking around the house felt it fit well. She loves the bi colors. She has to wait til Christmas to get it though. Looks lovely.

These boots are beautiful in person. The color is true to the picture. They are a little tight around the calfs but they are leather so they should loosen with time. The fit snug around the ankle and the leather is stiff so they stay up very well and don't sag or bunch around the ankles. I am 5'7" and it hits a little below my knees so the height is great if you are tall. The price is a little steep but they do seem to be really well made so hopefully they will last a long time.

These are beautiful boots, well made and and classic style. Everything about them was near perfect, except for me the fit was not right. My heel was slipping from the gap in the back yet it was tight on my foot. I hate to return them, but I must.

The Frye Jayden Button Tall are beautiful boots - the craftsmanship is evident the moment it comes out of the box. It is true to size. I wear 10M. But, it was tough to get them on over my thick winter socks (so it is on the smaller end of true to size). The leather is wonderful and these boots will no doubt wear to an incredible softness. Unfortunately, I returned them because the calf circumference is quite small. I can usually just squeeze into standard sized circumference boots (15 to 15.5") in pants/leggings/boot socks, and get them on easily in tights/stockings, but these are about 2 inches too small in circumference and have no give to them at all (they will likely soften extensively over time as a result of the superb leather). I'm 5'9", wear Size 32 Jeans, and wear a 10M, so the top of the boot hits me lower than someone shorter than me (and therefore on the widest part of my calf). Also, they don't hug the curve of the leg the way some boots do, and looked a bit masculine on me, especially in the front of the ankle (even though they were so tight at the top, I couldn't zip them). But this is style to taste, and could change based on your opinions. Hope this helps :)

I loved these. The suede really sets them off... it's gorgeous. They are true to size and have a thicker, grippier sole than my other Frye Paige's. The brown is so beautiful. I am 5'11'' and they could be taller but the height is all right.

Extremely difficult to put on due to very stiff leather. I assume it'd soften up over time but I don't have time to wait for that. I need them for a trip this weekend. Seems like they are very high quality.
