Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button Lug Tall

Super cute, ordered an 11. They seems a little snug around the sides of my feet, but feel like they would stretch a bit over time and be comfortable.

I ended up ordering 3 pairs of these boots - an 8.5 thinking the comments regarding sizing would make me want that. I ended up ordering a size 8, and they fit perfectly. These are a narrow ankle boot, so I can wear them with leggings or jeans but more than one layer or thick socks, does not work. The biggest thing with these boots is the color - the 8.5 were a gray, the first 8 was more of a brown, and so I ordered again as I knew the 8.5 was NOT brown tinted. The 3rd pair, size 8 arrived and the color is the gray/smoke, not brown. Amazing! And the first 8 was a little taller and more room in the ankle. I own 4 pairs of Fryes and they definitely aren't the nice leather that I've had in the past. Both pairs are made in Mexico, just so different in the same size! I'll continue with the size 8 and see how they wear around the house before making a final decision.

For a Frye boot they fit better than the others I've tried and if I had decided to keep them I may have been able to wear them in. They felt tight on my toe area and I needed more cushion in sole. I could also put in insoles, but I decided to just start over. The style is basic and classic and the leather was lovely and smelled luxurious. The profile is super sharp as well.

These boots are just GORGEOUS! They're the perfect height, the shaft was PERFECT for my athletic calves, but they were just too snug in the toe box (even with a thin sock on). I read the reviews and ordered a half a size larger than my normal 8.5. My other Melissa Buttons are 8.5. I might order the 9.5 but I feel like they will be too long in the foot bed, as the 9's were roomy at my heel. I wish they fit like my other Melissas, they are beautiful boots! I had to send them back, too expensive for the fit not to be perfect.

I had to return the boots. They fit my calf fine and took a minute to get on like most fitted slip on boots. I have another pair of Frye boots but they have a zipper. Same size that I ordered but fit better. This pair my heel slipped a little. But I think if I went a half size down they would be very snug and take time to stretch to be comfortable. I guess not all Frye boots fit the same. Good quality product. Great color.

I love Frye and this is a classic, gorgeous boot. However it did feel small and I had to return to size up. I ultimately went with a different model (Molly Button Tall), and also had to size up with that pair.

I love the look of these boots.The quality was great. So happy to pick them up at a super sale price. Unfortunately I could not even get my foot in the foot bed. I own 10 others pairs of Frye boots & i find it is really is a hit or miss for me. These were simply not meant to be.

the boots are beautiful and i really like them, however, i have a very high arch and since there is no zipper, i am unable to pull the boots on. I ordered these because i have thin calves & although they look like they would still be a little roomy for me, i could tuck in my pants & wear thick socks if i could get my feet in them! if you do not have high arches, these are really terrific looking quality boots! i had another pair of Frye boots for many years which i will continue to wear in my search for new boots! :-)

I love love love these but wish they came in wide calf. They run very long. I ordered an 8.5 and the calf fit but I had about 2 inches from my toes. I reordered then in an 8 and they were still too long, but tightener in the calf. I tried the regular Melissa in wide calf 8. The wide calf was perfect but too long. So, now I’m going to try a 7.5 wide calf. I am typically an 8-8.5 for reference. I prefer the lug style but will settle for the regular style if that is all I can get in wide. But, I might still try to have the lug stretched.

Im an 8 in my Frye combat and so I ordered an 8. The left foot fit like a dream, and so did the right with the exception of it being really tight in the toe box. It squeezed my pinky toe on the left. Im going to wear them around the house for a couple days to see if they stretch. I haven't heard good things about the cobbler in town so I am fearful of taking them there. Im thinking Ill order the 8.5 for comparision.

I got a great deal on these, and they arrived in a timely manner. They are gorgeous, thick leather, if a bit more workmanlike in appearance than I expected. I wanted lug soles for the snow (upstate NY), but I'm not sure if the rest of the soles are actually leather or plastic (I could use a match to test this but haven't yet). Your tick boxes above re: sizing don't actually do justice to my experience. I am a true size 7, but I have bad bunions and a narrow heel - thus I usually have to order a half size up in boots. This boot is not available in W, which is too bad. The 7 1/2B boot is actually a bit too long (as one would expect with 7 1/2) but pinches the hell out of my bunion area (as one would expect with a 7B). So, the sizing doesn't really work for me in either direction. However, I got a great deal on the boot, and I've already worn it outside, so my plan is to try to break it in. I can put heel guards in the back to keep my heels from slipping...and I have leather boot stretchers (imperative due to the bunions!) that I can try to fix that problem. I admit, I have a hard foot to fit - but if you do too and you don't want to go to some additional trouble to get the boot to fit, you probably want to look elsewhere.

I’m usually a 9 or 9.5. I ordered these in a 9.5. They were very hard to get my foot down the shaft of the boot but once in they fit great. I did order a 10 to see if that helped. Was easier to slip into boot but once on way too big so stayed with the 9.5. I’ve worn them 3x for long periods of time & they are just right. They smell amazing & are very good looking boots!

I wear a 10 and they fit good but my heel was slipping. Great leather and material - a little stiff but I'm sure would have loosened up with wear. They were too big on my smaller calves so they went back.

Didn’t work for me. Mainly because of how hard it was to put on and off and i didn’t like the bottom sole. It felt like plastic instead of rubber and too slippery for me. With snow and ice here on sidewalks, I can’t risk it. Regarding the size, I didn’t need to size up. The boot fit true to size for me.
