Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button

Better than expected. I have been looking for a cowboy boot and couldn't find one that fit comfortably. The fit is perfect, not bulky at all. I am a true size 8 and the size 8 I ordered fit perfectly. Would not recommend sizing down! Would buy more in additional colors.

I am delighted with these boots. They look great with skirts, or with pants tucked in, or with just the foot showing beneath jeans. The antique gray, which I chose only because black was not available at the time I ordered, has proven to be a wonderful choice--better than black! It is what I would call taupe, and is very versatile. No arch support, which would usually cause me problems, but these have been fine. SmartWool socks are helpful in that regard.

The boots are a great fit. I have a high instep so it is hard to find slip on boots. These are perfect and very comfortable. I would highly recommend them to any one who likes to walk in thier boots.

I purchased these in a size 8, they are true to size, comfortable, look fantastic. I love them, super happy with my purchase. They are not cheap, most expensive boots I've ever owned, but I don't regret it for a second. Worth every penny!

I got these boots yesterday and am wearing them today. They fit fabulously out of the box. I ordered the tan; they will go well with all my dresses and skirts this spring and summer.

I finally found the perfect boot after a 2 year search for flat, leather riding boots. And it took me 5 months to buy the Melissa Button because the price was so frightening. But this boot is amazing and well worth the "shoe investment". I ordered this originally off of the Nordstrom website in Cognac (because they didn't have that color/size combination on Zappos) in my true size, an 8.5. Three weeks later, it finally arrived, only to be too big. So I returned them and searched the internet for a Melissa Button in Cognac in a size 8 - no such luck. Disappointed, I turned back to Zappos to see what other colors they had in the boot. I ordered the Fawn color on a gamble and I have to say I absolutely love it, even more than the Cognac! My boots arrived just 2 days after I ordered them (and I ordered them on a weekend!). The second I tried them on, my boot search was over and I could finally sleep at night. This boot is very comfortable, stylish and versatile. I wear it with jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts, whatever! I have no trouble getting it on or off, but I do have slim calves and narrow feet. For me, most of the time, boots are too wide in the shaft, but these are just fitted enough. The Fawn color is amazing, kind of a rustic brown that looks great with everything, blacks and browns. I do think they run a half size larger, all of my shoes are 8.5, but in this case the 8 fits perfect. Of course, many thanks to Zappos who has been with me through this boot journey and has accepted all 6 times that I bought and returned boots to them. Zappos service rocks!

After coveting these boots for a year, I finally took the plunge. Like my three other pairs of Frye boots, I love them! Did go for the the extended version. I don't have particularly large calves but I've tried the boots on in stores a few times, and not only was the shaft a bit tight to wear with skinny jeans, they were also really hard to pull on...getting my foot in past the heal area was tough. The extended version fits perfect. Note, they are narrow! Fine as I have a narrow foot but will need to break them in a bit. If your foot is wide, seriously doubt you'll like this style. I'm a consistent size 8 and they are true to size. It's March and even though I can't wait for summer, kind of hoping the weather allows me to wear these for a bit before its too hot!

Love these boots! This color in particular goes with everything, can be casual or dressed up. Expensive, but worth it! Very comfortable!

Great boots but very hard to put on at first. Don't give up - once you get your foot in them, they feel great! I am a size 9 and have 9's in two pairs of Frye boots. They fit perfectly!

I have three other pairs of Melissa Button and I love them. I am trying to get a pair in the Bordeaux color but I have tried on two pair and I cannot get them on. I am trying my third pair today and if they don't fit I guess I will not be getting this beautiful color.

These are beautiful boots! They're not as stiff as I expected compared to the ones I had in the late 1960's. I have had foot-morph over the years, and sometimes I wear a 9 and other times a 9.5. Since Zappos has such a fabulous return policy, I ordered both sizes and decided on the 9. They were a tad tight in the toes, so I wore them around with thicker socks for 2 days, and now it is perfection! I normally don't spend this kind of money on shoes/boots, but they were just what I was looking for, and hopefully they will last me many years.

I love these boots. I was hesitant to get this color because of other reviews saying they weren't a true black, which may be true if you held up two different black boots next to one another, but they are perfect! They do have a worn-in look, or a wrinkled leather look, but I absolutely love that. Totally worth the money, and they will last a lifetime.

I love, love, love these boots! I got them in Fawn which is great because I can wear them with just about anything. I am a size 6 and these boots are true to size. The leather is beautiful and soft, these boots will last me for years to come. I do use the pull straps to get the boots and off and prefer that over seeing a zipper. I can hardly wait to get my next pair of Frye boots! I highly recommend them. Worth every penny!

Freaking love these boots...cost a fortune but you get what you pay for, excellent quality! Western feel with a touch of class!

These boots rock! Right out of the box I wore them at a trade show where I was on my feet for 12 hours and they did not disappoint. Classic, comfortable, what more could you ask in a boot?

Most amazing boots I've ever owned. So comfortable and Frye makes a true quality boot. I get compliments every time I wear them.

I love these boots! I am a true 7-1/2, and that size fits me perfectly (not too tight, some space, but not too loose) with a good sock, which is how I like to wear boots to avoid blisters. So far, I have bought Chocolate Vintage Leather, which is quite beat-up looking, but I love it, and Fawn Vintage Leather, which is a soft smooth brown/green leather, absolutely gorgeous. I am 5'5" and have skinny legs, and the shaft is perfect over skinny leans and leggings. The boots are comfortable right out of the box but get better every time I wear them. I am 59 and I don't feel like an idiot wearing these boots. The only problem is that I want at least 3 other colors. Highly addictive! An easy solution to the slippery bottom issue noted by others is to have a shoemaker add a rubber sole, which also preserves the life of the boots. It costs about $30, but I do that with all of my high end boots and shoes and it is cost effective. I have 30 year old shoes and boots that still don't need new soles.

I hardly need to add to the tons of rave reviews about the style of the Melissa Button Boots, but I do want to describe the color I chose: the chocolate vintage. It is very different. It is a medium brown without and red tones. It is extremely distressed does have traces of some shine. It is as though the boots had originally been a high gloss boot that you had worn every day out in the desert for about 10 years. The effect is hard to describe and more understated than you might expect: they invite you to look twice and check them out. This leather makes a tremendous impact without (in my opinion) looking tacky. If you like distressed, worn in boots the chocolate vintage may really call out to you. (Frye has so many different leathers that look similar on the screen but very different in real life, especially in black. It is very helpful to me when people write which particular leather they are describing.) I found the boots true to size and very comfortable. I run daily and so have muscular calves and have no trouble wearing them over my skinny jeans.

Let me just say I heard angels singing when I opened the box. The smell of the leather and the awesomeness of the boot had me from hello! I am a size 6 1/2, and that's what I ordered. They fit perfectly. They are frickin' gorgeous and so comfortable. I almost slept in them. Totally getting another color. Thank you Zappos for partnering up with Frye and always providing outstanding customer service!

I love these boots! Took about a day around the house with boot socks to break in. Very comfortable (a must) and very stylish (also, a must). I also own a pair of Frye cowboy boots that I bought 4 years ago. Since they still look almost new and I love them so much I decided to spend the money on another pair of Fryes...well, I'm not disappointed and I know these will be a staple in my wardrobe for years to come. Also, I love Zappos for their great customer service.

I absolutely love the Melissa boots. This is my fourth pair of the Melissa. I have rather athletic calfs and they fit well. I would not be able to tuck in jeans with these boots without stretching them, though. The design does not offer much arch support but I must wear custom inserts so that does not matter to me. The leather is beautiful. Each color I own is great. I plan on wearing these for many years. They are made to be re-soled so I know I will wear them for years.

These boots are amazing and look vintage. They do mark up easier than other Frye's because the leather is so soft and worn, but it adds to the look.

I saw these in cognac at Nordstrom's back in November tried them on and almost walked out with them. But I already have cognac boots. I went home and found them on Zappos and noticed all the other colors they came in. Fell in absolute love with the Fawn. But it was sold out in my size, had to go through hoops to find them in fawn from the Frye company's website. Finally had them ordered only to get a phone call 2 days later saying "out of stock". Two weeks ago I found that there were two left in the fawn/size combination I wanted on Zappos only to find that the site had gotten hacked and was unable to make any purchases. A week later the boot gods finally decided to be kind to me and I snagged a pair. 2.5 months it took for me to get these boots and probably the best shoe decision I've ever made! Thanks Zappos (and Frye)!

This is a great boot. I recently purchased before a trip to Europe as I knew it would be cold and I would be walking a lot. They were very comfortable and are great to wear both with dresses and skirts as they are with jeans. This was my first Frye purchase, but it will not be my last. They are worth every penny!
