User Reviews
I ordered two different style Frye boots. These were both beautiful boots!!! I ordered them in multiple sizes; 7, 7.5, 8, extended wide calf and regular calf. My normal size is a 7 and my calfs are a bit on the larger side, 14.5”. I noticed that my normal shoe size fits best in the footbed area and in this Carson style, I did not need the wide calf! Are you shocked...because I was floored! (The Carson is the boot on the right in my picture with the rounded toe)But I also ordered the Frye Billy tall zip boot. Basically the same boot but Billy has a pointed toe. I ended up going with this Billy boot. The Billy runs true to size in the footbed but slightly smaller in the calf area, so I got the wide calf in that style. Both boots are gorgeous and exceptionally well made. You’ll have them for years.
These are my second pair of Frye boots. They are so solid and lush. I am in love.... I'm going to toss out all my other substandard boots and wear these and my other Frye boots all winter. They are very comfortable. You have to wear them a couple of times, though, to soften them a little. I always buy a half size larger than my shoe size to allow for thicker socks and they're a perfect fit that way.
They are a pretty tight fit, I’m hoping I can where jeans on the inside.
The boots are good quality and comfortable.My legs are medium wide but the boots are too wide in ankle and on top.
If I didn’t know better I would think they are “fake”Fry boots. I have worn them twice. They look worn and old and not in a good way. I am returning them.
Second time I've tried to order this item. Was hoping last pair's super-loose shaft was a rare defect—even went to the Frye store before the quarantine to ask about the strange fit—but this pair is just as bizarrely loose at the calf. We're talking at least 1.5 inches of extra leather at the top on a 14-inch calf. Maybe it's the same defective pair making the rounds? The Frye salesman did mention that some customers were reporting this flaw. Rest of boot is a roomy 10.
love the shape and feel of these boots—they’re exactly the design i’ve always looked for in a boot: a tall shaft, a low heel, and a gently pointed toe
I love the color of these boots! They are made well and will last for years. The boots are still relatively new, but “not brand new” sort of speak. So the leather will stretch with wear I guess. In my first impression, and I could be wrong, but the boots looked like they have already been worn or used. Perhaps the markings under the boots were from customer(s) trying them on at the store. The boots are “brand new” out of the box, except for the bottom of the boots. Overall, they are beautiful boots and will recommend this pair!
