I got these a couple of days ago. The boots look and smell great but I have athletic calves and can't pull them up all the way so they are both uncomfortable and slouch at the ankle. I am researching stretching them and considering that I may just have to return them which breaks my heart a little because they are a great, classic boot.

I have a narrow foot with high arches and trim ankles, but could not get this boot on. I pulled and tried to stand my foot down to no avail (and a sore ankle). Loved the leather and sad that I couldn’t make my foot go all the way down.

I am absolutely obsessed with these boots. High quality and beautiful. However I can't get them on and I ordered a half size up from my normal size. I workout and apparently my calves are too big for even a wide calf boot. Disappointing and sad to be returning. Ugh!

Well made, beautiful color & perfect fit for my foot. I'm 5'2, small frame & 125 lbs. I could get them on & off, but they were too tight to wear leggings. I gave them to my 110 lb daughter

This is the best looking boot I have ever seen! It is timeless, classic and just a good overall look for skirts, jeans, leggings, etc. I was sooo disappointed when I could not get them on due to the very small calf. I have no idea if the foot area fit as I couldn't get my foot in them. I even enlisted the help of my husband, looked at videos on line looking for suggestions as to how to get boots on. I have been buying boots for about 30 years now and never have I had to watch a video as to how to put a boot on! LOL Needless to say, I had to return them. I would LOVE to have this boot if you ever choose to make a boot in this style for adults. BTW, I wear a size 6, am by no means overweight. I do not have large calves!!!

Friar, I love these boots. The leather is absolutely beautiful and it's the exact style and quality boot I've been looking for. I ordered my usual size (8) . I don't have particularly large calves but thought I'd like the look and also for tucking in leggings -so I opted for wide calf. After much work I got one boot on and I tried hard to get the other on amd the ankle area is so narrow and stiff I couldn't get it on. (I don't have big ankles either). I love the boots so called customer service and they suggested that I order a half size up. That pair arrived and are already packed up to send back as there was the same problem. Impossible to get on. Maybe of you have patience to work and work to get them on amd wear them in you'll love them. Customer service was great.

I feel for the price and advertised value of these boots they wouldn't squeak from the sole every step I take. I have had them for over a year. Wear them to an office setting but at this point everyone asks what's wrong with my shoe so cannot really wear them any longer which is super disappointing. Wouldn't recommend wasting your money.

The boot shaft was so narrow that I couldn't even pull them over my feet. I am a petite woman, so this was unusual and disappointing.

I really like these boots but if you are expecting a true wide calf these aren't it. They are only 3/4" wider in circumference than the standard. I can get them on and off just fine but there really isn't much wiggle room. I have the Melissa harness and the calf width fits like a glove. Not sure why these are so much slimmer.

The boots are not AT ALL the color of what is pictured. They are more of a burgundy or mahogany color. I kept them because they actually fit my calves (Frye doesn't seem to care about big-calves) but I'm not in love with them at all! They are good quality and you can definitely feel the good material but I'm not a fan of the color. Too red for my taste.

The style and price are awesome. But the calf is not wide. I could not pull it up over my calf.

I was so excited to get these boots, but when I tried them on I couldn't slide my foot pass the ankle section. The ankle section was super solid, it felt like a size 5?? I ordered a 7, which is my typical size, but the ankle section was awkward and I didn't want to be stuck in the shoe if I couldn't even slide the boot off without cutting them off...I'm so sad that I had to return them!! I think the ones I tried in the store were the ones with the zipper.

Boots are beautiful and made well, but definitely not a wide calf. Frye needs tp add calf circumference to the description of their boots. For this much money I need more detail before purchasing.

Believe the reviews! I read dozens of reviews saying these boots were impossible to pull on but ordered them anyway since my foot is fairly narrow and I have several pull on boots... No way could I get them on. ?. I guess that is why it is called “the wisdom of the crowd.” LOL

I expected a more well fitting boot for this price. When I opened the box, I checked the outside of the boots and the souls. I noticed there was some “scuffing” on the souls. That indicated to me that someone had tried them on before. Then I put the boots on. When I put the right one on, it was apparent it had been tried on and worn around a bit - you know when you see the creases in the leather when you step. Also, the right boot felt bigger than the left. Overall, I was hoping for a more luxurious boot, but these were not it. I feel like I’m better off purchasing a boot made of synthetic material for better fit and price.

These were definitely too big. I’d say at least 1/2 size. It seems like Frye boots are not the quality they use to be. This is my 2nd pair from Zappos. The first pair was too small.

I bought these boots in the Cognac colour. When they arrived, I actually returned them because I thought they'd sent me the wrong colour. They were SO dark. I purchased a pair again, only to open the box and discover the exact same issue. Beautiful boots, just be aware that the cognac is MUCH darker than it appears online, and colour representation may be an issue in others - I don't know for sure.

I really really wanted to love these boots. However, the fit was so off I had to return them. The ankle area was huge and almost baggy. The heal was very loose. The shaft of the boot was wider than I wanted. I was very disappointed, as I really wanted a pair of Frye boots. These were the oddest fitting boots I have ever tried on in my life.

Beautiful looking boots BUT I actually think they are made for a specific type of foot. [?] I'm still confused about the fit with these. I read all the reviews before purchasing, took my calf measurements etc. and when they arrived I had THEE HARDEST TIME getting my calves through, meaning if I was at someone's house putting these on in front of them I would be so embarrassed because it would look like I was trying to put on a size 6 when i'm an 8. Well, when I finally did get my calves through [after about 30 seconds of tugging] my feet were slip-sliding everywhere and when I walked around my house in them to be sure of the fit, I was constantly focused on scrunching up my toes to create some sort of pressure against the boots so they would hold still while walking. I don't think i've ever left a shoe review before [granted, i'm not the best at leaving reviews] but these boots need a Buyer Beware sign that reads: Must have no calf definition and your feet must be larger in proportion to your body.... I dunno guys, these boots are tripping me out...they're so beautiful, it's a bummer they can't fit like most tall boots. I was really looking forward to these since i'm 5'4" and it is hard finding elegant [but not elderly looking] boots that hit below my knees. *Also, they come in two different widths... and as I write this review i'm now realizing that perhaps I should have gone with the wide width in a size 7.5 or maybe even 7 [?] because my feet were swimming! Rather than go through the hassle of ordering again, I think it's best to try them on in the store to see. :/

I think that these may have been the right foot size but I LITERALLY couldn't get my foot in. I have .5 size bigger and my heel comes up, those are also impossible to take off. But the ankle/heel area is SO small I gave up tryin.

The boot was true to size in length but narrow. The size 8 fit which is my usual size but too narrow. The 8.5 was too big and wasn't narrow. Hope this wasn't confusing. Also I'm 5'0" and the shaft of the boot is too high.

Impossible to slip on. Had to wiggle, twist and force my foot in. Absolutely no flexibility and very stiff once I finally got a foot in to test. Once on, almost impossible to get back off. Not worth the money and I even got them 1/2 off. Pass!

I love the boots. Sadly, they are so narrow I couldn’t get my feet in them. I’ll have to return them, even though I loved them. In case it helps as background information, I never wear wide shoes. So I expected the boots to fit and I ordered them as 9.5 even though sometimes I’m a 9.

I was so hopeful that these boots ended my boot search... but sadly I returned them. I wore the ONE time and the sole already started to show wear and even broke-off a little bit in the toe portion. The material is far too soft... I can't imagine what they would look like after years of wear!! Overall the boot was good though, good style and comfort. I typically wear an 8 and they felt pretty true to size (perhaps a TAD big). Again, I'm returning not because of the style and comfort, but because of they way the boots wore after only one use. Really expected better quality from Frye.

Received these 2 weeks ago and had to return them. I could not even get my foot in as the leather was so stiff. I have loved these boots for so long and finally purchased them only to be really disappointed. Love the look just not the fit.
