Customer Reviews Frye Logan Brogue Cap Toe

These run a full size big. I’m a 10, 9.5 was still too long. They’re also a little wider than I’d expect for a D width, and I have moderately flat feet with a low instep. Returned the 9.5, we’ll see how the 9 fits. I recommend starting a full size lower than your normal. Also, when you lace up, there isn’t much space between each side; they lace up narrow - if you care about that. The leather laces are better than I expected; soft and workable, not stuff and crappy.

Excellent boot. Sizing seems to be the trickiest thing to get right in boots. I wear a size 12 Merrill running shoe or boot or Ugg boot, a 11.5 A or B in Allen Edmonds, Cole Haan and Thursday Boots, and an 11 in most Timberland earth keeper boots, John Varvatos, and Frye boots and shoes. I have a very narrow foot, and the standard D width from Frye is usually pretty wide, but I tried the 11.5 and the 11 for this boot and found it fit on the narrow side, which was great for me. The toe box is roomy both in height and width, especially compared to Allen Edmonds or Thursday, which tend to have tapered toe boxes. Today I wore them on their first walking tour of around 4 miles on frozen Chicago pavement and thought they felt excellent. Should break in quickly and well.

A great boot. This model is still made in the USA. The more expensive pair of Frye’s I purchased ran a full size larger and were made in China.

This pair of Frye boots marks the fourth set I've purchased in my life. They are an investment - pricey, but they outlast any other brand I've found. True to history, the craftsmanship and attention to detail are unparalleled. I wasn't sure how the cap toe would look (not typically my style), but they come across as classy without being too elaborate. I couldn't be happier about the purchase. They fit true to size and width and have moderate arch support. They are well-shaped and seem to "cradle" your feet. The color of "Cognac" describes a very broad palette. Perhaps Frye does this intentionally to account for variability in each hand-made pair. My pair is a uniform, darker, brown (vs., say, milk chocolate).

Order one size smaller than usual foot size.

I'm a size 11 normally, in most shoes/boots. Took a 10.5 in these and fit perfectly. Wouldn't need much break-in time at all. Leather is supple and boot is nice overall. The leather work around the top of the boot though, where you physically push your feet in and pull them out at the top around the edge has an incredibly slim band and is stitched very marginally to the boot leather itself. Out of the box, on one boot, this had already come away from where it was meant to be stitched. You have to wonder how such a proud USA manufacturer could let such an easy QC check be missed. In my opinion this had never been stitched in originally, it just looks like it was missed from the get-go. Is this why they were discounted to start with???? (See pic). Although minor, it's likely to get worse from the heel being removed. Not a fan on this front on that. Anyway, other than that, color of them is 'cognac' - which seems to show a darker, deeper color online - when mine arrived, the dye / color on them was more a solid brown. Not very cognac at all. (See pic for color).

Ok, I've been putting together a collection of boots over the last few years so I have good experience with Frye, Red Wing, Wolverine, and Chippewa. Each has their own positives and negatives. Frye's generally are a little more stylish than the others, a little less work boot styled. These are no different. I love the brogue style on the boot, Frye has done this on a few boots that I own and I think it gives a great profile. These are marked on this website as "Made in USA" but they are marked in the boot as "Made in the USA with foreign and domestic components" not such a big deal at the sale price, but at the full price, they probably should have full domestic parts (except perhaps the sole). The inside of the boot is made of a nice smooth leather, which helps get your foot into them, I have other Frye boots that are more difficult because the leather is rougher, and they don't have speed laces at the top. Also, the leather laces on these are better than others, they slide smoothly which is not always the case on other Frye boots. These are a little on the big side, I don't mind because I like to wear insoles, but they probably aren't a full size bigger, probably half a size. I would order your regular size and use an insole, the insole in the boot is pretty hard. The boot is wide through the foot, I would think twice if you have a narrow foot, it doesn't look too bad, but definitely not dress shoe narrow. The toe has a bit of a bubble, similar to red wings. Overall, these are nice, the leather is a bit stiff, but I have had Frye boots that were stiffer. The MSRP is high for these, you can get a Chippewa for the same price as these are on sale, and they are good boots and the leather is pretty nice, though they are not as dressy. I will be ordering Thorogood next, they are similar and a bit on the expensive side, but supposedly very comfortable and made 100% in the USA.

Boot was half size too big and the color is different than the online images and “cognac” description. This is not an oxblood shade as they appear, but more of a dark brown. Quality and comfort seem great though.

Very nice to look at but very uncomfortable. Narrow in the forefoot (like across the ball of the foot), too much room in the heel...who had a foot shaped like this? I get Frye is supposed to be a fancy brand but these shoes fit terrible. No arch or overall foot support to speak of, no real padding on the foot bed. Eeesh, no wonder they’re on sale. Thanks for having a great return process Zappos!
