Customer Reviews Frye Bowery Lace-Up

Super cool finish and well made. Ordered a whole size down and they fit like a glove with room in the toe box. They smell brand new but look like I've been working them in for several years. Cool factor is a 10.

Way too big and they feel cheap and hard like plastic. Definitely not worth the large price tag. Every other shoe and boot company I buy from can size a shoe correctly. This is the third pair of Frye boots I've gotten where the size is completely wrong. How can they screw this up so badly? Time to ditch this company.

Terrible quality. After less than 12 months, the leather cracked and peeled. The Frye customer service declined to replace. For boots this expensive, it’s an absolute joke. I’ve had Frye products that lasted much longer and had great customer service. It seems the company has taken a turn for the worse. I would warn against buying any of their products.

These boots are absolutely awesome. The leather sole starts to form to your foot for fantastic support and comfort. Look awesome and always get compliments on them.

So frustrated with this brand -Frye's. They manufacture an awesome, quality product but only offer one fit - medium D, which is narrower than the standard width. Surely they must have realized that the average guy cant wear their shoes?

Outstanding boots!

Never owned a pair of Frye boots before and I have bought two pairs. The style is exactly what the pictures give you which is great in my opinion. These boots run a little narrow and a half size big. I normally buy 9’s and went with an 8.5 with a fair amount toe box room. The boots bring leather will also need to be broken in, which will give you a good reason to wear them all the time.

Beautiful boot; ordered a half-size down; fit well but couldn't wear with my orthotics.

Love these -- have ordered different shoes from Frye after enjoying these. I ordered a half size smaller as recommended and they fit perfectly. They were a little tight the first couple days but after wearing them in and having the ability to resole them (I took my previous pair of Timberland Earthkeepers to a shoe repair place and the guy told me he couldn't fix them due to the way the 'upper' was stitched to the soles. One thing to note: I've had them less than a week and already one of the grippy things on the sole has fallen off. I removed a star from this review. From the leather alone I get the feeling I'm going to have these for a long, long time.

Based on reviews i bought them a 1/2 size smaller and have no issues. They're real leather so they'l take some time to break in. For the money i have to say i'm quite disappointed in the arch or should i say lack there of. These are basically like walking on a wooden board with fabric over it. i'm hoping this breaks in and becomes less hard. They look great...

Absolutely terrible product. Didn't last a year. For boots this expensive, you expect a lot more. Frye's customer service was uninterested in honoring the quality of their product. I'll never purchase any of their footwear again.

Normally wear an 11 but took advice from others to go down 1/2 size and that worked fine. One hiccup though, the zipper broke immediately when I tried them on. Frye QC has obviously changed over the years. Returned them disappointed.

If you have wide feet like me, you will have issues with the shoe. They are good looking, but the way my foot is, I couldn't even get my foot in the shoe. First time I had an issue with Frye Good marks for the shoe, just didn't fit me

Looks sharp. Smell like fresh leather.

Great boots. The leather forms to ur foot. Very comfy and very stylish. U get compliments on my hem all the time

I took the advice of others and sized down one half and they fit perfect. The toe box isn’t as wide as my Chippewa’s nor are they as comfortable but they broke in fairly quick and are comfortable. The zipper is necessary because if it wasn’t there I can’t imagine getting these on/off very easily. Overall, I really like these boots.

Purchased for college aged son who wanted a black boot. These are as cool as they look in the picture. Taking a while to wear in, but that's to be expected. Very nice quality.

I ordered these a half size smaller than usual, based on other reviews here. They were too small. Ended up with my normal size (10.5), so that’s my recommendation. Luckily exchanging with Zappos was a breeze. Also, the leather quality and build seems great.

Quality boots that run a bit large (but them 1/2 size smaller). Very happy with them.

Very pleased. Exactly as shown, very comfortable and well made. I ordered a half size smaller based on all the reviews and the fit was perfect.

Really large (though typical with Frye) had to go down a full size from usual.

I wear a 10 normally and these were to big. Returned for the 9.5 and they fit well.
