First they fit as expected, second they feel great and look great! They look just as the photos. I really love the quality from Frye!

First saw these boots last year and had to have them. They were out of my size then so had to wait a few months and it was worth it. Fabulous boots, fits well and lives up to the photos with a natural warn texture. Another great addition to my Frye collection.

I bought these boots 6 or so months ago, and they've served me well in the time since. They're one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own and have held up well with minimal upkeep. Received tons of comments on them due to their classy, understated style.

They quality and finish on these boots are great! I for one do like the side zip for the convenience. Keep in mind they do run at least a half to a full size large.

I've had them for a few months, most comfortable boots I've ever owned especially once you break in the leather. They run very big so I suggest buying a size down, I actually had to exchange for a smaller size.

Went with a half size smaller than what I normally wear 10.5 vs. 11 and they fit like a glove. I love the zipper side for on and off ease. I did apply the weatherproof cream which gave the leather a hint of a darker shade which I like (plus it will aide in fighting off the elements).

Had to go with a 1/2 size smaller than my usual. Very comfortable. They look great. I was initially worried about having a zipper on the side of my shoe, but so far they've worked out just fine. Very durable.

Frye have totally outdone themselves with this boot! From the "just right" amount of distressing (not overdone, but perfectly lived in) to the zipper closure, and to the substantial and robust sole and tread, these boots are now the new All Time best in my book. They came out of the box perfectly broken in and they feel great. I sized down a half size from my normal shoe size and they are absolutely perfect. You'll love them!

I have these in dark brown leather size &. This is 1/2 size smaller than my usual Frye size. I have a little extra length with gives me room for arch supports. These boots are well cushioned, but have no arch support to speak of. I am accustomed to this and always use arch supports. I am a Frye junkie, and other than Asics sneakers it's all I buy. I love these boots. They are comfortable, good looking and well made. I believe they will outlast me!

I bought these boots for my Grandson. He sometimes wears a size 15 shoe. I was intrigued by this boot but they only went to size 14. Following my instinct that a better shoe could fit I bought these for him. They fit him perfectly and he loves them. Peace

I love this pair of boots. They are stylish, easy to put on and take off thanks to the zipper, and comfortable. I am usually a size 10.5 and ordered a 10 based on the reviews, and that was a good decision—they fit me well, with plenty of room in the toe and enough room for my orthotics.

I love these boots. The distressing is what I love most about them. I think it adds a nice touch and a very nice look to the boot. I will say I learned that no two boots are alike because of the way the boots are distressed. The first pair they brought out to me barely had any, I asked for another pair and those hit the mark. They're very comfortable right out of the box, look great and you won't be disappointed.

Just arrived, feels very comfortable right out of the box (supple leather). Fits a tad longer, so exchanging for half size down. Shoelaces also seem a bit long. My biggest gripe is that the color IRL is lighter than the pictures. Maybe my pair not as oiled? Nothing I won't be able to fix with a bit more polish applied personally, and still like enough to keep.

If these weren't so expensive they'd be a 5 star rating. Everything is great about them, the fit, the finish, style and comfort. Most leather boots require a pretty extensive break in period, but I wore these the 1st day at work for 12 hours and they broke in easily and were very comfortable. Sort of forgot I was wearing them until I crossed my legs in a meeting and someone gave me a complement on them. I purchased both the Bowery lace-up and the regular slip on version and I'd say the laces ups look more stylish and the fit better as they are more secure around your ankle...I don't feel my heal raising when I walk...the laces keep my foot secure. The zip up side is convenient as well, don't have to re lace every time I put the boots on. They are a little tricky to maneuver your foot into from the side zip but not too bad. Just takes a little work, the tongue slips down a bit so you have to hold it up and laces out of the way when putting on but pretty easy to adjust once on. zip up and go. I've always liked the Fryes, but they haven't always been the most comfortable boot, until these.

Love these boots. Got them a couple weeks ago. Put them on and thought they were a bit stiff and uncomfortable. it's now about 3 weeks and they're incredibly comfortable. The boot has no arch and felt like i was just walking on a piece of flat sole. now after a few weeks if seems as if the sole is forming an arch.. Not sure if that's possible or not but they're getting more comfortable every time i wear them.

I think this boot is very well constructed. However, the sole feels very stiff, heavy, and uncomfortable. I also don’t like that it makes “sticky” noises on certain floors. I like the look of the boot. I’m hoping it will eventually feel more comfortable. It is WAY over priced.

Excellent quality and craftsmanship as always, but the sizing chart is way off. I bought an 9.5 because I'm invariable a Euro 42-43 but they were at least a size and a half too big.

My sneakers sizes range from 9 (converse all-stars) to 9.5 (asics tigers). These size 9 boots were at least a half size too big.
