Customer Reviews Frye Samantha Zip Tall

I’m insanely in love with these boots. I normally wear an 8.5/39 but I had to exchange these for a 9. I have a wide foot with high arches and these are very comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and I wouldn’t say these have any arch support, but they do not bother my feet. The zippers are not functional so this is a slip-on boot and it looks great with leggings and a chunky sweater.

These boots are absolutely gorgeous. Words can't describe how amazing they are. I got the olive suede and the buckle details and variations in the suede are amazing. They were definitely over my budget, but I just couldn't resist them. If you can afford them, buy them!!! Just outstanding!!!

When they got here, I was optimistic since it seemed like the usual Frye quality. The leather upper is soft and beautiful. But I immediately decided to return them for a couple of reasons: first, they would be a lot more flattering if they came up another inch or two on my calf. They look and feel a bit clunky. Second, although the zipper is functional, it doesn’t actually zip or unzip anything! it’s just decorative, which makes me fell like Frye cut a couple of corners on this design. It’s too bad.

These boots are so cute, but unfortunately I couldn't even get them onto my feet! My last couple of pairs of Frye boots have been tough to get on, so I bought these thinking that the zipper would help. Unfortunately, it is only for show and doesn't actually open the shaft to allow easier access to the boot! So disappointed, because I know from past experience that Frye boots are extremely comfortable and durable... once you get them on. (Seriously, my pairs from 5-6 years ago are fine, but pairs purchased in the last couple of years are much more difficult to put on. Not sure if they changed arch specs or what, as my original pairs were a very similar style.) Sadly, these are going back today.

Beautiful boots and the supple leather I was looking for , But the zipper(s) are fake! I couldn't get my foot into the boots ??... I had to return them... If you're looking for a pull on/ off boot these will be for you.
