I was hoping for a sleek, sturdy chelsea boot, but these were quite "baggy" and loose around the foot and ankle. Back they went, I'll keep looking on Zappos....

Was not impressed with the quality of this boot. I was really surprised. The leather seemed thin and crinkly—kind of low quality. This was not the kind of workmanship that I would attribute to this brand.

These boots may be the most beautiful Chelsea boots out there. Sadly, I find it very difficult to get them on my feet! My feet are slightly wide, so maybe that's the problem? They also run kind of narrow.

So sad to be returning these but I couldn’t justify keeping $300 boots I didn’t love. Zappos has the cognac and redwood colors switched, the cognac are more of a true brown and the redwood have a reddish tone to them. The boots arrived with several scratches already on them. The color discrepancy had already encouraged me to want to return them and I definitely wasn’t keeping scuffed boots. The shaft is very narrow and the bots were difficult to put on. They also had a slight slouch in the ankles from being tight which would have eventually work into a large wrinkle as the leather wore.

These are well made boots that did run about 1/2 size too large for my foot. They are very firm like new cowboy boots that need a lot of breaking in. I disagree with other reviews that claim the leather to be soft as butter. It has a smooth finish but is in no way supple or soft. With a thick sock these could have worked for me with one exception, which is the slippery sole. It was like ice skating in my living room while trying on. Too dangerous for the environments I would be wearing them in so back they go.

A complete classic chelsea boot. Stylish and comfortable - works with all black outfits - jeans / pants / skirts. Elegant and slim. Great for slender feet and ankles. I feel this boot is a boot I will always have in my closet. I have the chestnut color too. Frye is amazing. Zappos makes it even better!

I wore these today for Thanksgiving and they were instantly comfortable, very chic and amazing quality!! I recommend getting your actual size, though I do have narrow feet. The boots slip on easy, but, be prepared to struggle slightly to get the boots off. Worth it!

I just got these today and WOW! Beautiful boots, impeccable craftsmanship, and perfect fit. I'm a size 8 1/2-9 and the size 9 fits great even with a pair of thick socks. The bottom is slick initially but after one night of wear they were broken in. The fit is beyond comfortable too! I am extremely picky about boots, a good style and comfortable fit are hard so to come across a boot I can't wait to wear again and again is a rare delight. They can be dressed up or down and I can tell will get even better with wear. I highly recommend these boots, absolutely worth the price!

I love these boots. I bought them as my kick around shoes and they're perfect for just that. They go with all my outfits so effortlessly. The slate color is great too- kind of an in between black/dark brown so it goes with everything. As someone previously mentioned, the bottoms are slick to begin with since they are leather soles, but they scratch up naturally when you wear them outside. *i did go down a half size, it took about a week of breaking in and now they fit like a glove.

These shoes are perfect for my long narrow feet! I honestly don’t know how you would get them on if your feet weren’t very narrow. I also normally wear a size 10 and Fry, but the size 9 fit me perfectly.

These are very comfortable and chic boots- I added waterproofing so that I could wear them year round with denim! I recently traveled to Portugal and Spain and saw so many women wearing their chic Chelsea boots, and I am happy to have my own pair now also to wear while traveling!

FABULOUS boot, can't go wrong with Frye. I loved everything about them, but the elastic at the top made them a bit difficult getting them off and on. However, once on they are a little piece of heaven!

Frye is an eternal fave of mine and these boots didn't let me down. I've returned them as they were a bit difficult for me to get on and off...a bit of a struggle.

It's a scary thing to go from walking around on your carpeted bedroom floor while you test out new shoes, to venturing out into the real world and the point of no return. Literally. In this case, I'm happy to report no regrets. There was no break in period for me. Body heat relaxed the soft leather and molded the shoe to my feet within a few seconds of wear. I wore them to work for three straight days; with slacks, a pencil skirt, and leggings. I would wear them everyday, except I don't want to wear them out too quickly and need to let them rest and dry out every few days. I found these to be true to my normal 8.5 in Frye boots and the width is comfortable, even with my favorite non-cushioned merino wool socks.

Based on the reviews which say this style runs true to size, I ordered these in my usual size 9. They are GIGANTIC like, I think I need to reorder in a 7.5! THey are gorgeous, though. I'm anxious to start wearing them! ;)

Beautiful, well-made shoes. These will last for years and match with everything. My only complaint is that I wish they came in size 10.5. I bought a size 10 and had to wear them in with thick socks on to make them roomier, but they're still a bit too small.

Usually I wear a size 6.5 in Fryes but I had to get a 7. Just felt a bit more comfortable. Its a hard shoe to put on but feels very good once it is on. Excellent quality as usual.

I bought these a few weeks ago and have worn them most days since I got themthey're versatile enough to work with yoga pants, jeans, and suits, so they're pretty much the perfect closet staple. I've gotten a number of compliments and love how soft the leather is. I expected a breaking in period but had none. Worth the semi-splurge and treating yourself!

I recently purchased these boots and have fallen in love! The quality and design of the boot is unmatched. I do have to say I was looking forward to buying the boot in the Wine color, which was no longer available so I settled for the redwood and I'm pleasantly surprised with how's much I like the color. Saving up to get a pair in black! Frye - don't ever stop making this style!
