These boots are everything I've been looking for. Yes! They have a simple but tasteful engineer look. (I had tried Fyre's combat boot but it was too narrow even going up half a size and that was with having an average wide foot. But not these beauties.) I couldn't be more excited. The leather is gorgeous and will only look better with time. They are pleasantly comfortable out of the box and should fit like a glove after a day or two of wear. I got the basic black as the Frye website indicated that it was full grain leather. The other black option did not mention that on Frye's description so do keep that in mind. I could have easily ordered them from Frye but I am a die hard Zappos fan with their bar none customer service. (No messy paper work on returns unlike the maker of the boot.) Consider this a quality investment. Also, I have a sligh bunion on my right foot which won't be a problem with these. Couldn't be happier.

Love them, well worth the money! I cannot wait for cooler weather to wear them. I had tried 3 other Frye motorcycle bootie styles, and this one is the most feminine and comfortable one.

This is a gorgeous boot. it is beautifully constructed and made with beautiful leather inside and out! Unfortunately I had to return it because the size 10 was just a bit to short and the next size up would be too big!

I love everything about this boot. Beautiful leather. Well made. They look great with leggings or skinny jeans. I have worn them with leggings and a dress and they look really stylish. I have very high arches and need really good support so I may add an arch support since my orthotics really didn’t fit in them well. Nevertheless, I decided to keep them because they are so pretty. I usually wear 7.5-8 and ordered 8.5 and they were perfect. You may need to wear them a few times to break them in so they don’t feel too tight.

I love this boot, but it runs small and a little narrow. I originally ordered an 8.5 (my normal size), and I couldn't even get it on my foot. I exchanged for a 9, and the fit was better. They were still a little snug, but they stretched out nicely after a couple of wears.

Love these Frye’s. You heel slips. That’s intentional and your get used to it. Love them right out of the box.

Comfortable from first wearing, great with skinny jeans as well as boot cuts! Love the unique smoke color...not like everyone else!

To say I love these boots is an understatement. I am a size 9 and I bought a 9 that fit perfectly. They are stiff and I was worried about breaking them in, but it was easy and not uncomfortable at all. I will have these boots forever.

Love the style of these boots. They felt narrow on me so after several wears I took them to my local shoe cobbler and they were able to stretch them a bit. Now they are perfect!

These boots are gorgeous! Wear thick socks with them when you first break them in. They will feel tight at first. But like any FRYE boot, once they are broken in they will fit like a glove! I? love them so much I? bought two other colors! ;)

Absolutely love these boots!!! I got the sand soft Italian nubuck and definitely didn't disappoint. The leather is so soft and comfortable. I normally wear 8, but I bought these in 8.5 and the fit is perfect right out of the box, I just received them last night and been wearing them since. I love everything about the boot, heel is exactly what i've been looking for goes with everything. And ZAPPOS customer service is outstanding!! I wish all customer service was just like Zappos :)

Loved, loved, loved this boot! Beautiful leather and Frye quality. The only concern is the actual weight if the boot. Quite heavy to lug around all day.....but the look is fantastic!

The fit is perfect, even with inserts, and the color is the same as my living room rug, so I just leave them out. I am very pleased.

I have purchased many Frye boots and shoes over the years and have loved all of them, but this pair will be my absolute favorite. The style, fit, and color are perfect. Having these waiting for me to wear this fall is the only thing that is helping me deal with summer coming to an end! I've even slept in them!! Next I want them in the other color "fatigue".

I've been looking for a pair of engineer boots for over a decade. Every pair I tried on looked like clown shoes on my feet -- too big, round & clunky in the toe box. Tried the Natalie Short on and was so happy with the more streamlined fit. There was no break in time required and they fit like I've had them for years. I found that they ran true to size for me (9.5, semi-wide forefoot) and are comfortable in the toe/forefoot area. If Frye ever makes this style in Cognac with a silver buckle, I'll be the first in line to buy. I'm considering buying the shearling-lined version for the Winter. Loving the Natalie fit!!

These boots are absolutely beautiful and the leather is super soft and comfortable. Unfortunately I have to return them. I wear a 10 or an 11 based on the particular fit of the shoe. Actually I wear a 10.5 but they are harder to find. I tried the 11s in this boot first and they were too big, my foot slipping up with every step. Next, I tried the 10 but it was too tight across the forefoot.

Been waiting to buy these gorgeous things since they came out. Perfect fit, true to size. Gorgeous soft but sturdy leather. Perfect. Will probably get in black too. :)

I chose the Grey nubuck and found it fit just like my other size 7 Frye boots, despite other reviews. Very comfortable, right out of the box. Great looking boot with Frye quality.

Super cool boots. I feel rock-n-roll when I wear them. Not as cool with skirts and dresses as I thought. But, love wearing them with jeans.
