Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button

I wear between an 8 and an 8.5 and I went with the 8. Perfect fit. The boots are extremely comfortable and are easy to get on and off. I went with the black since I couldn't figure out online which brown I liked the best. Too many options! If I saw the brown in person I would purchase another pair and get brown.

These boots seemed to fit true to size, but when I had them on, I felt they were a little more "cowgirl" than I was looking for. Without a zipper, I thought they were too much work to get on/off, and it was hard to get my pants to be arranged nicely (not bunchy) inside them.

I'm crazy about these boots. They are cute and practical for (trail) riding. They have something of a western look, but are still stylish. Pull-on boots will never have as sleek a profile as those with zippers, gore, etc. since the ankle area needs to be wider to allow your foot through. I got the "dark brown washed antique" color and the leather is really nice and thick, but comfy and soft. It is very authentic and classic looking leather, and smells great too! I normally wear an 8 and I ordered both a 7.5 and 8 just in case. I kept the 8. The 7.5 was definitely too small (noticed mostly in the width). The 8's felt a little loose at first, but I think I was just too accustomed to wearing lace-up type shoes. I've been wearing these every day and they are comfortable and the craftsmanship seems to be really top-notch (only time will tell).

These are great boots that are very comfortable. They are a little hard to put on but once on they fit perfectly. I usually wear an 8 or 8½ and had to go with the 8½ on these.

This is not my first pair of Fryes and these are as wonderful as the rest! They are comfortable after a break in period. The Melissas have such a classic look.

Ahh. Just what I expected - beautiful, comfortable, and high quality. I'd looked everywhere online for a red-brown color like Bordeaux, and just couldn't find anything close. Out of the box, the boots were perfect. My feet slipped right in, and I had no problems getting them back off. I'm petite, 5'0, and have fairly thin legs. The boots hit about an inch under my knees and they don't gap too much around my calves. Perfect! The only thing is, I'm not sure how anyone with larger calves would wear them. If you're on the fence, buy these boots! If you've got the money, they're worth it!

I love the looks of these, but they are huge in the calf! I seriously had to double check that I didn't order the extended calf boot.

Hemmed and hawed about getting these boots for years. I'm not a cheapskate by any stretch of the imagination, but I've never spent this much for a pair of boots, just not my thing. Finally bit the bullet and placed the order. But what size should I order? Most on here say they run true to size, but some said half size big. Ack! I'm a solid 9 (do not own anything other than a size 9) so I ordered a 9. Too big all around. Ordered the 8.5 to compare. One boot fit like a glove, the other one was pretty tight over the top of my foot. What to do? Googled "do Frye boots stretch." Consensus was no. So undecided. Wore the 8.5s all day in the house and they got more comfortable. Finally ventured outside today and walked around all day long...and they are perfect. So moral of the story, on some they do run a 1/2 size large and if they are a bit tight they will soften up a bit. Also, they seem a bit narrow. I have pretty narrow feet and rarely do I find a shoe or boot that fits tightly on me like these did.

Love these boots. My first pair of Frye and I hope there will be many more. I am normally an 8N...I got a 7.5 medium, though they are just a tiny bit wide, I still love them and they are super comfy...comfy from day 1! For medium feet, be prepared to pull them on and off...easy for me but probably a little challenging for the average foot. Get them!

Great boots and great service from Zappos. There was a minor issue with the boots and Zappos went above and beyond to make sure it was right. The boots themselves are great quality and great looks.

Awesome boots. They slip over my calves neatly with the loops, and they fit like a dream right away. I have wide-ish feet, either 8 wide or 8.5 regular in shoes. I often take a size 9 in boots but these 8.5 regulars were sized just right for me. The finish was just a little shinier than I expected, but it'll hold up better than a more matte finish would have. I plan to wear these for decades.

Ordered these as a gift for my niece and to say the least, it was the perfect one! It was the hit of Christmas! Perfection. If you are looking for the perfect boot, then look no further. Everyone will notice!

I love these boots. They look amazing and feel amazing. I am on the verge of buying a second pair because I think they are timeless. They are simple and classic. I do not wear or even need to wear socks with these boots!

My husband got me these for Christmas. I about died. I feel like they are a bit pricey but it's the thought that counts right? :) I always wear a 9 and I couldn't get them on. Like COULD NOT GET THEM ON. Then I read a review about putting a plastic sack on your feet. Slipped right on. Thank you to whomever put that! Wearing them around a bit to break them in and totally love them. Have athletic calves and they fit perfectly. Is it bad that I am already contemplating my next pair?

Amazing boots...worth the money. I'm a boot snob and have tried on so many different pairs and styles. Trust me, these boots in Cognac are amazing! Run true to size. Break in after about 4 wears. So comfortable! Enjoy!

These are the most comfortable boots. So happy with my purchase. They fit true to size. You can't go wrong with this boot.

These boots are very comfortable. They are a classic style and will last for years to come. I love them so much, that I purchased another color. The leather is soft. It fits true to size. I normally wear an 8.5 in boots, and the 8.5 was perfect!!!

I have been drooling over these boots for several years now. Finally broke down and ordered a pair and am so sad to have to return them. It has nothing to do with the boot. They are as beautiful and well crafted as I expected. Excellent quality boot! Unfortunately because I am short, these gorgeous boots hit me right at the knee and look very awkward on me. As much as I love them, I have to return them.

These boots are beautiful. Absolutely love them. They fit well and took a couple wears to break in but then were very comfortable.

I usually wear a 9.5, but the 9 ended up being the right size. At first I was sure the 9 was too small because at first try I couldn't get it on. When I tried the 9.5 though it felt sloppy. So what you have to do to initially get your size on is wear a knee high or stocking of some sort and point your foot and pull on the boot. Once on, mine did feel snug in the instep, but I could tell my toes had room to move and were not near the front of the boot. After wearing them around for less than an hour the instep felt perfect and they were much easier to get on an off. I got the Grey Antique full grain, and they are like a fawn color. More of a soft brownish grey. They go very well with brown and I am wearing them with black too. It took me a while to find a boot I liked that fit. I am a size 10, with muscular calves. (the wide calf Melissa boot was too big, the regular fit) Pay attention to the shaft height and width to the boots you like and don't like. I wish they made these with a straight top as opposed to the Western scalloped top.

Love these shoes! Normally my shoe size is between a 6.5 and 7 and I bought a 6.5 and they fit perfect! Only took a couple wears to break them in. I would recommend these to everyone! Not good for icy conditions since there is no traction (learned the hard way).

I love these boots. I contemplated them for a very long time then my husband got them for me for my birthday. I wore them for 15 hours straight, running through airports, no break in needed, right out of the box and they were so comfortable. I usually wear 7 1/2 in Frye boots but I got the 8 because they were a tall pull on style and I have a high arch. They are very easy to get on and off. I've worn them barefoot and with smart wool socks and they feel great. I got the antique slate and they are beautiful. I wear them with black, brown and grey. You won't regret it. Zappos rocks!

These boots rock! My first pair of Frye boots and I have to say, great right out of the box. Comfy and I get compliments every time I wear them.

These boots are beautiful and very comfortable! Like most Frye shoes, and leather shoes/boots in general, they take some time to wear in. But once they are worn in they feel great!
