Great deal and leather stretches to fit perfectly

Great deal and leather stretches to fit perfectly
I ordered a size 9.5 which is my usual size in winter boots when leaving room for thick socks. For the first week or so of wearing, they were difficult to put on around the ankle and the toe area was a little narrow, but now they fit perfectly. Out of the box, the leather was sort of dry and stiff, and the color was lighter than pictured (Redwood color). I applied several coats of Pecards Leather Dressing and the color is now exactly shown on the Frye website. They're incredibly comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry. I've worn them almost daily for the last month in snow and rain, and they still look brand new due to the weatherproofing. Got them on sale for $137, too. VERY satisfied with purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, traditional/classical riding boot
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2015

I purchased the Frye Shirley Riding Plate Boot, Black Stonewashed, in a size 5.5. This is my 4th pair of Fryes and I love the quality and craftsmanship of Frye Boots. I am a solid 5.5 and the boot fit as expected, not too big and not too small. There is no zipper in this boot and I had no problem pulling them on (maybe a little tight at the calf, but relaxed quickly). My calf measures just under 14" and it was a tight fit with fleeced leggings, but the leather is continuing to relax, so I'm sure I will be able to also wear these boots with skinny jeans. These boots look like riding boots, and do not have the "cowboy" look of many Frye boots. Don't get me wrong, I love the cowboy look, but not in every boot that I own. The leather is stiff, which is to be expected in a riding boot and the leather will relax more over time. If you're looking for a less tailored and more sloucy look, this is NOT the boot for you. I am 5'2" and the boots hit me just below my knee, with no problem cutting into the back of my knee when sitting down. The boot has two loops, one on either side, for pulling the boot on. I did not have a problem pulling the boot off. My right foot has a problem with osteoarthritis calcification just below the big toe, and of course the boot hurt for a bit. However, I am certain at this point they will conform to my foot and be completely comfortable over time, as they already feel better since wearing them for the second time.

I love the look, very sleek and classical with minimal buckle detail... no bells and whitles really, just understanded luxury. I think they're beautiful and I am happy with the purchase. I think it is important for people to remember that everyone's feet and legs are different, so boots and shoes will fit very uniquely. If you're sitting on the fence, you should get them, as the Prime Membership offers free returns. Try them, maybe they'll work great for you. By the way, checking back often with Amazon, you can find excellent deals... I was able to find these at 1/2 off. Good luck! I just love taking long strolls through the boot aisle and Amazon is FANTASTIC:)

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful boot...hard to get on..runs small
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2015
Verified Purchase
First I want to say these are very sharp and high quality looking boots. They look like very well made expensive boots. They run about a half a size small for Frye. The color is gorgeous. I bought redwood. A very rich deep brown color. Not as red as I expected. It looks a lot more like Fryes whisky color. The boot is very hard to get on...but I noticed each time I tried it on it did get easier. I have fairly thin calves and ankles so of you are built differently these will not fit because you will have a very hard time getting them on since they have no zipper. Not positive I'm keeping them as the are a tiny bit tight in length. I switched to a very thin sock and it helped a little but I'm afraid they might still give blisters because of the stiffness of the leather and tightness. Overall a very classy and elegant looking boot and I really like the look.

The more I put this boot on and of it definitely stretched and now it fits beautifully. It is a great purchase!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Big in STRANGE places!
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014

These boots look amazing, just what I've come to expect from Frye, but that's where my positive review stops. The fit of these boots were strange. The top of my ankle, between the top of my foot and my shin was ENORMOUS! It made my legs look oddly mis-shapen in these boots. Even if the width and length was ok on the boots the transition area up to my shin just looked completely off. I have thin legs and read the boot dimensions, selected one on the narrow side, but these just didn't do it. The shaft is narrower than some of their boots, such as the Melissa, but all in all the sizing is just off. I was really hoping these would work out, but unfortunately I had to return them.

5.0 out of 5 stars How they fit!

I really like this boot. It won’t be used for fashion although it sure could be but needed leather to knees when working with male goats (miniature). I kept being told to order size 7 but I took a chance and ordered my usual size of6.5 and is fine with my swollen ankles. I didn’t know how to get them on but was really easy. I like the heels, they’re just right for me. I am 5’1” and they hit me a bit above my knees. I searched every Frye boot I could find and wasn’t coming up with exactly what I wanted until I went to the end of women’s Frye’s and found these. If you are pretty tall, you may want to look at others, depending on where you want them to hit. For short folks who want a tall boot, this is the ones, especially because of the comfort and ease of putting them on. I should mention that I normally have a very slender calf and ankles but ankles stay swollen in Summer. Very pleased with this purchase of my first Frye boots. I will say that I expected the leather to be a bit thicker but that could be the type of leather I ordered.. Good Luck, don’t think you would go wrong with these boots and they are beautiful!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful boot, didn't fit me
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2012

I'll start by saying that if these fit you properly, I'm extremely jealous. They're just beautiful. I ordered the Dark Brown, which is a little 'distressed' in the leather, but not badly, it gives the color some character. If you're looking for a high-shine ultra dress boot, this is not that. But for a stunning 'I've-had-these-for-years-and-will-for-many-more' look, yes, these are great. Size-wise, these run a little smaller than many Frye boots -- I'm an 8M in most other brands, but 7.5 in many Fryes, and I needed the 8 in these -- but that 8M was perfect. As for getting your foot past the instep, the strap around the ankle un-buckles and gives extra allowance to get in, if you need it. My fit problem is in the boot shaft; it was too big around for me and looked like I had borrowed someone else's boots. And I have 14 1/2 inch calves, which I think is pretty average (I see a lot of little calves around town). But I'm not sure if these will work on someone with truly athletic calves, since it's the whole boot shaft that's roomy, not just the middle & top. I hope this helps and, since I can't have them, I hope they look great on you!
