Customer Reviews Frye Ella Moto Lace

This boot fit size-wise, I have Frye Veronica Combats and I got both in size 10. There was a strange feeling in this Ella Moto in fit of the heel, I think because these have a bit higher heel than I am used to, but it wasn't only that. I don't know if I would have gotten used to that fit or not over time. I thought I would really like the look of these, but I didn't. The rosemary color was fine, but it turned out I didn't like the contrasting welt color in person, and the leather was almost too smooth and uniform looking. That probably sounds silly, but they just looked a little clownish on my feet, and I found I preferred the look and lower heel of the Veronica combat a lot better. Last, I noted these weren't made in Mexico like the VCs, not a deal breaker at all, just something I noted.

Tried SO many combat and moto boots on - these were the ones! Very comfortable, edgy, but not too much so. Lighter than Docs. Very well made.

Comfortable right out of the box. High quality leather and construction. Love them. Dress up or down.

These fit me really well although maybe would run narrow for some. I love that they are very lightweight and the Rosemary color is very cool and unique for a combat boot. A nice alternative to Docs.

This boot is SUPER cute. But I had to return it because it was so tight across the ball of my foot. I practically broke out into a sweat trying to get them on. Getting them off was no problem. I was sad these didn’t work for me. The style is really great.

I absolutely love the color and style of this boot. It looks great with my camo jacket BUT it isn't the most comfortable boot I own. I agree with one of the reviews about them being tight or snug across the top of the foot. I actually had bruises after wearing them the first day. They aren't everyday boots so no more than I wear them, I liked them too much to return.????

They look great and the leather is excellent but …. Quality control is poor. Bought in my regular size the length but they felt a bit short and the left shoe was very tight over the arch of the foot, something I normally do not encounter but the right shoe was fine. Exchanged for a half size up, this time the RIGHT shoe was tight over the arch. I was advised by Zappos customer service that they probably would not stretch and to return them.

I usually wear a 9.5 or 10 in Frye boots so these were true to size. I ordered a 10 and they fit perfectly. I would say that these are definitely for narrow feet which I have. I ordered the Rosemary which looked like a brown in the picture. FYI, it’s not. It’s a subtle olive green which is why I had to return.

These are really cute and pretty comfortable. I'm knocking off one comfort star because the right boot is a lot more comfortable than the left, which is strange since I know for a fact my right foot is a tiny bit bigger than my left foot and in almost all the shoes I buy it's the right shoe that is usually a tighter fit.

Super long story about these boots that I will try to cut as short as possible. A few months ago I bought these at Macy's. They are really cute and were a fun red color - not candy apple red, not burgundy/purple red, just a nice pretty red color. I really needed black boots tho so I returned them and bought them in black from Zappos. The black was kinda boring so I decided to go back to the red. They were no longer available at Macy's so I purchased them from Zappos and unfortunately the pair I received is NOT a fun red :( I would say that it is brown with a red tone and that's just not fun. I went back to my Macy's order and saw that they were described as "dark red" but every other retailer that sells these boots (including Fryes itself) only has them in "redwood." Makes me wonder if Macy's had an exclusive color?? Or did they just have a rogue website content writer who looked at a pair of the boots and decided they needed to be called dark red? If you watch the video the Zappos rep explains that these boots are dipped dyed (or some such thing) leading to each pair being a slightly different color so maybe I just got lucky with a more red tone from Macy's and unlucky with a more brown tone from Zappos? To conclude - these are cute and comfortable boots that I am knocking down a rating tar and not keeping because they aren't red.

Love the look of these boots, but they felt a half to a full size smaller than they should. I generally wear a 10 in Frye, and my Campus boots are a 9.5, and there was no way these would fit even after breaking in. I was also hoping for a more green color, as some reviews indicated. These definitely fell on the side of brown. Even so, the leather was lovely and shiny, and if they had fit I probably would have kept them.
