I love these boots. I wear them at least 4 times a week. Jeans, leggings, dresses and skirts. Loooove them.

I purchased these for my wedding this summer and wore them to wedding dress shopping and fitting. I'm so excited to wear them on the big day. The heels are a little tight but I've been working on wearing them in and stretching them and I think they will be ready to go. They are very comfortable and I've been able to dress them up (with the wedding dresses) or down (with jeans and skirts) and they look great for all occasions. Awesome boots. I'm so glad I finally had a legitimate excuse to purchase a pair of Frye Boots.

So comfortable. The leather is beautiful and durable. I get so many compliments on these. I wear a size 6 and they fit my small 5'1 frame perfectly. They took little to no time to break in. I live in NYC and I can walk miles in them. Additionally they go with everything and can be wore during every season.

This was my first Frye boot purchase and I could not be happier. The quality is great and they go with everything! Would definitely recommend.

LOVE these boots!! They are perfect - they go with everything! True to size compared to other Frye boots. They are really comfortable and don't need to be broken in. The Charcoal color is beautiful in person. My new favorite boots!!

This boot is really nice. This boot is extremely small. I have other Frye boots in size 10, but couldn't even get my foot into this boot!

Typical work/moto boot. Nothing special. First time I ordered Frye and based on the reviews I expected more.
Also, no zipper. It took some effort to pull this on. I just don't have time for that in the morning when I'm trying to get out the door.
Don't know about the comfort. I barely tried them on.

I bought these for my 16 year old daughter and she loves them. They must run small though, we had to go up half a size.

I bought these boots about 2 weeks ago, at first they were snug but since then they have stretched some to give me a perfect fit. I wear a size 6 1/2 - 7, the 7 was slightly big so I went with the 6 1/2. I absolutely love these boots, they look amazing with skinny jeans and leggings. I would recommend these boots to everyone!

Love these boots. I have a high instep so pull on boots can be a problem, but not these boots. Very comfortable, little to no break in. Fashionable design that looks edgy enough for the motorcycle but dressy enough to wear to the office.

These boots are beautiful! I have a wide flat foot and usually wear a 7/7.5, I bought these in a 7.5. They were a little tight right out of the box but loosened up some after a couple of wears. I plan on getting them in another color.

I've always admired Frye boots but had never bought a pair because of the price. But with the $30 coupon for becoming a rewards member, I had to try them. I have to say that these are, by far, the most beautiful boots I've ever owned. In fact, I would like to get the Natalie Mid engineer now. They do run about a 1/2 size smaller than other boots. Perfect with skinny jeans or tights.

I bought these boots in black about a month ago for a European vacation. I knew we would be walking a lot but I did not want to wear athletic shoes on this vacation. The Natalie Short Engineer Boot was the solution for me. Once broken in, this boot is very comfortable for extensive walking. I wore these boots 8 out of 10 days on vacation and I didn't develop blisters or callouses. Generally, I am rough on my footwear, but these boots stood up to the challenge. After the vacation I polished them and reapplied the weatherproof dressing and they still look great in my opinion. I absolutely love these boots and look forward to wearing them for years to come.

I've had these for around a year and they're everything I've come to expect from Frye. I wanted a casual pair of flat brown boots and they fit the bill and were even on sale at the time. They also have enough tread on the sole to wear when walking on snow, but dont look overly chunky. I kept one star only because it takes me an extra minute to pull them on due to a bit of tightness on the front of the shaft - doesn't affect the wear at all, just the initial pull on. Still excellent and one of my wardrobe staples!

I recently bought this online and it was very tight-- I couldn't even get my whole foot in with hose on my feet. I'm usually a size 10 and I bought a size ten. Since they weren't restocking these I went ahead and used a shoe stretcher on them instead of just returning them-- and it worked! They stretched beautifully, and everything else about them is beautiful as well. I plan to wear them often because they're great quality, versatile, and beautiful-- they really pull together an outfit and make it look smart and sophisticated.

These boots are awesome, they are well-made, the color is beautiful, but like others have said they are a tad snug. When I first slipped (I meant to type held on to the sides of that first boot with all my might and stomped into it) my foot into the boot I thought to myself should I take these off and just send them back but then I thought maybe they just needed the Frye break-in period. So I broke them in.
I wore socks with medium thickness and kept the boots on for about eight hours, of course I was out at a function so I couldn't walk barefoot forcing me to keep them on. Nonetheless, I survived.
If you like the style the boot I think the style is worth the break-in period. Buy them!

This boot is adorable. However, I returned mine. I have an arthritic joint in my foot, and the toe box is not as large as my other Fryes. I also have very narrow heels and they didn't feel like they would stay on. But excellent quality. I was sad to conclude that they weren't the fit for me.

I have been wanting these boots for years now. Finally got them, and fell in LOVE with them!! They're a super versatile, staple pair of leather boots. I've only had them for less than a month now, but as I've been wearing them very often, I expected them to be more comfortable at this point. There's days where they feel comfortable, and days where they're kind of painful on my heel. I usually am a 7.5 and thats what I purchased, but I'd probably recommend going a half size up to avoid the pain on the heels! Also, my feet are on the wider side and these boots definitely fit long and slim (heads up for all the other ladies with wider feet) but the leather stretches to mold to your feet for the most part. Overall amazing boots though - would def recommend!

I really like these boots but they did not stay on my feet. I have to disagree with other reviewers that suggest ordering up 1/2 size. I would order your normal size or possibly 1/2 size down if you have a narrow heel. I have three other pairs of Frye boots and a size 8 always fits perfectly- until this pair. The more open construction around the ankle did not fit tight enough around my ankle and heel so my foot slipped so much as I walk that the not practically came off. I also did not find this boot to fit narrow. I tried them on with medium thick Stance socks and the width was perfect. I was also able to easily get my foot in and out of the boot.

I have a fairly narrow foot but had to struggle for a solid 5 minutes to get my feet in these boots. Once I got them on, they are tight around the top arch of my foot. I got my usual size but I might suggest going up a half size. It's not terribly uncomfortable so I'm going to continue wearing them and stretching them out. They are really cute and I love the way they look. I would recommend Frye make these a little wider or have a zipper on them to make them easier to get on/off.

I love these boots. I did have a little trouble right at first. My right foot must be bigger than my left. I was able to pull the left one on easily. Not so much with the right one. Because they are short I could fit a shoe horn in to help ease it on. Once on, they are very comfortable. The first time wearing them I wore them all day shopping and running errands. No break in needed. They are super cute with skinny jeans. I did rub them with shoe oil the night before I wore them which darkened them some.

I have the Frye Shorties and expected these to fit the same, but they are more narrow. They are very cute, but didn’t work for me because my foot is wider. I’d order a half size up.

Purchased these because my friend had the Philip style for years and they still look great! They looked really cute when they arrived but unfortunately, they were too narrow for me as my foot is a bit wider
