Customer Reviews Frye Alta Hiker

I'm usually a 9, but I ordered 9.5 and it is a comfortable fit. Definitely worth the sale price! (I ordered the rust.) If you have a very wide foot, however, you may want to go a full size up, as the toe box runs narrow. The reason I didn't give them 5 stars is the lacing: the top doesn't have the traditional hook, but a bolt with a hole. to push the lace through. It took some small effort to pull the lace through. That being said, I'm thinking of ordering the black as well.

I found the boot to be good in length and width. I also like how they look. However, the quality is not good! You can tell that the hides they use are of the best quality, supple and with beautiful natural grain, however the padded tongue on both boots would not sit correctly in anyway, it looks bad and felt uncomfortable. Don’t know what’s going on with Frye right now but for the last 12 months, whilst their materials have been of the same high standard, the manufacturing has been off. Mismatched shoes being a big issue. Yes all hides have natural flaws but at least try to put together a pair of shoes that match! Please get it back together Frye. You charge high end prices, have great designs and use premium hides but your manufacturing, pairing, and quality control leave a lot to be desired

LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots!!! Definitely worth the price than other knock offs. You can see the quality and they’re much more comfortable than other boots Ive tried!! These ran true to size

These boots are stunning in person! The color is rich, the leather is thick and the overall craftsmanship is exceptional. My advice is to go a half size smaller. I generally fit in a size 7 to 7 1/2 depending on the brand. In Frye I usually take their size 7, but some reason these boots run a half size larger. Don't be discouraged if the boots seem stiff and uncomfortable at first, they need to be worn a few times to break them in (to soften the leather). I couldn't ask for a better boot, these will last me a long time.

Gift for my 17 year old. We had tried other brands but had problems sizing etc. these were so much higher quality than any others we looked at. Blew to doc martens away. She loves them

I went by the reviews and sized up a half size- glad I did, because with socks or tights (as these are to be worn with they fit just right. They are SO comfortable, soft, and stylish. I am so glad I purchased (given sale price). If you are on the fence- DO IT.

Boots look perfect. Following advices from other reviews I ordered half a size larger (8) but i believe my size 7,5 would fit me better. Anyway they are comfortable despite of some vacant space in toe box. Satisfied with the purchase.

These boots are so soft, comfortable, and warm. I bought them half a size larger because one of the other reviews said the toe box was pretty narrow, and I’m really glad I did. There is just moderate arch support but it is more than you normally get from Frye boots. Very satisfied with these stylish little boots.

In white, these are gorgeous, distinctive boots. They are also comfortable and require no breaking in like regular hiking boots. My only quibble is that the highest two shoelace grommets must be threaded through a hole like thread in a needle. This is kind of a hassle.

I was going to return these, because like others, I got them with one of the grommets already fallen out, but realized they were sold out in my size, so I just had it repaired. That said, you can tell they're very well made otherwise with high-quality leather, and the tongue is very plush. They're super cool looking, however they're fairly heavy at 1lb, 11oz each; not something I'd want on a long day of walking. (Yeah, I weighed them.)

I wanted to keep these, but they literally came in broken. I opened them up and the toggle was broken, the middle leather piece that holds the shoe lace also broke the first time I tightened the laces. These are a great idea, but very poor quality. These are also incredibly heavy. Sent back.
