Sexy Comfort

I'm so addicted to Frye. Love the quality of Frye and these are no different even though they are made in China. These are my 4th pair of Frye boots but they are my 1st high heel Frye, and they are surprisingly comfortable. Worn them all day at work and walked a lot, they feel so comfy right out of the box, no breaking in needed at all. Got my regular 7.5 boot size and worn them with Nike socks like I normally do with all my boots. The zipper works smoothly even at first try unlike my other Frye which needs some breaking in time. The calf size fits perfectly on me even with jeans, I'm 14.5" in circumference at widest point. The only draw back I have is that I'm on the short side, I'm 5'2" and the boots ends right under my knee caps so they do leave a bit of a gap behind my knees but I can live with that. I'm just in love with these boots. Got them in black and I'm more than happy with my purchase. Thank you Amazon and 6pm.

These boots are amazing. I bought them to replace another pair of tall, black, platform-heeled Fryes that I had worn almost to death--so my standards were high! These boots have far exceeded them. Unlike my last pair, these have a back zipper which (a) makes them easier to get on and off, which (b) prevents them from "scrunching" [which isn't the look they're going for, I think] and (c) makes the fit less concerning. As to item (C), I always worry when I find gorgeous Fryes online because I find their fit unpredictable. I own Fryes in sizes ranging from 8.5 to 10. These I was able to get in a 9 and they fit comfortably on my foot and calves. The heel looks fabulous but actually is quite comfortable thanks to the platform (and the fact that it isn't tapered as some other heeled Fryes--e.g. my beloveds). I can (and will!) wear these all day. They look amazing under skirts/dresses and worn over pants. I couldn't be happier. (Also, I love the rubber sole. Helps them last longer and helps prevent me skidding.)

Really nice boots! The leather is like butter - thick and soft. I really do feel like they'll last a lifetime. This style has much less of the western feel of most Frye boots I’ve seen - very versatile. They are substantial, but still sleek. I'm 5'8" with thin legs and larger feet (size 9), so chunky shoes are not flattering on me. These boots look great. The back zipper is unique and gives them a clean look. The heel is a comfortable height and very stable. They also have a small platform inside which offsets the heel height.

I've never bought, or even tried on, Frye boots before, so thinking they might run small I bought a half size larger (9.5). If they were shoes instead of boots I would walk right out of them. Extra space in the toe and especially in the heel. My regular size probably would have been fine, but wearing two pairs of socks takes up much of the space. The shaft is also a bit roomy. My calves are small and even when worn over my pants there's room, but it's not noticeable from looking at them. Overall I'm very happy with them. I think they were a good investment, especially at the great price I got here on Amazon.

Best for Long legs and "Normal" width calves...

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

I'll start with stating that this is a beautiful boot -- well constructed, quality leather, solid stacked heel. I ordered the black. The leather was a little lighter than standard black, but would have paired well with blue-blacks to charcoal grays. Made in China.

I'm 5'5". From just below my knee to the floor, I have approximately 18.5 in. in length (long legs, short torso). I wear a 9.5, have normal to narrow feet and slim ankles. My calf measures 16" in circumference.

Based on another customer's review, who stated that the boots worked for her and she has 15.5" calves, I tried these boots. I figured they would not zip, but I love Fry products (multiple pairs of cowboy boots) so I couldn't resist trying these. Unfortunately I was right -- No go for me. I couldn't zip them.

However, even if I could, I would not have kept them. The leather is pebbled, which gives a more casual look, and the overall style is what I would term "dressy Western" (not completely unexpected given Fry is a Western boot maker). The foot bed was comfortable enough - snug to keep your foot from sliding, but loose enough to breathe - but could do with some padding under the ball. Aside from not zipping, the worst part for me was the baggy ankle -- they fit more like a slouch boot than an office dress boot, which is what I was looking for.

Not a bad boot -- just not what I needed (fit), nor what I really wanted (style).

Beautiful Boots.

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016

I took a chance on these beautiful boots and ordered the 6.5, a half size larger than I normally wear, due to some reviewers saying they ran small., and because the size 6 was not available. The boot is made from buttery, soft leather with good padding in the foot bed.. The heel height is high, but not uncomfortable to wear, though I only wore them around my home, walking on tile floors for short periods. This is my second pair of Frye boots and so far I have not been disappointed in the quality, nor the price after carefully following the price decreases over the past six months or so until they became affordable for me. I am returning them, only because ordering up did not work out for me, and reordering the 5.5, hoping they will fit. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship of Frye footwear can't be beat, and the discounted prices offered by Amazon make it too good a deal to pass up.

Well-made and beautiful.

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2014

I've never owned a pair of Frye boots before, but I may not purchase another brand again. After returning a pair of Born boots because they looked cheap, I spent $100 more on these than I was planning. They are comfortable, well-made, and beautiful. I highly recommend them.

I'm a bit annoyed the description wasn't better so I'll help out others: the heel is 3.5". My calves measure 15.5" and one boot fit snug and the other required an overnight stretching. (I stuffed it with some clothes.) They both zip fine now after one day of wear. The foot is roomy enough for thick socks but definitely not too big. I'm a size 7. If you're usually 6.5-7, get the 6.5. If you're usually 7-7.5, get the 7.5.
