Customers Say

Customers find these boots comfortable, with one noting the leather softens without causing pain, and appreciate their well-built construction and timeless design. The boots are durable, with soles lasting up to 5 years and providing many years of heavy use with care, while the leather is thick and of good quality. The fit receives positive feedback, with one customer mentioning they conform to feet quickly, though opinions on sizing are mixed, with some finding them roomy while others say they run small. While some customers consider them well worth the price, others find them expensive.

I bought these boots for motorcycle riding and that alone. But they have been so comfortable, with such high quality look and feel and construction, that I now find myself wearing them around town as well (and I usually wear sandals and slip-ons the majority of the time that I am not riding here in SoCal). They look great with jeans. These are some of the most comfortable boots I have ever worn, and the quality is obvious. Fryes are worth the extra money, in my opinion. I have had other riding buddies who have had these boots and wore them for ten years and more, taking proper care of them. I wore my last pair of Georgia steel toes for riding for over 10 years, so I hope to get that kind of use from these. They certainly look and feel like they're up for that long of a ride! These are thick leather boots, so they do require some break in. Just the same, I wore these for more than 8 hours some days, after just a few days of wearing them around the house for a couple/few hours a day on and off, for break in. Other than an initial hot spot or two, they were remarkably comfortable right out of the box and this has continued to improve over time. Now they are as comfortable as any shoes I own, or perhaps even more. They ran true to size for me, a 10.5. I have a quite a narrow heel, so I was concerned about pull on boots. My heel does move slightly in the boot when walking, but I have no discomfort or ill effect from it whatsoever, even when I am doing quite a bit of walking. On the bike, these boots are a dream. They sit on the pegs just perfect and feel balanced and effortless for shifting and braking. Paul in customer service (a former electrician who lives in boots) discussed sizing, construction, care, and break in with me for some time before I bought these. His suggestion for size was perfect and it was great to talk to someone who is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He even placed my order for me at the end of the call. Zappos, you continue to be the best of the best in customer service and creating happy customers! This is another of many purchases I have made here. I shop around, but always wind up back here and have never regretted it. Thanks so much!

This is my second pair of Frye Boots. They are comfortable - look great and will probably last a lifetime. One thing to note after reading information on the Frye site - initially it felt as though my heel was pulling up inside the boot. This is normal until the boot breaks in - it was actually gone by the second day. I learned from my first pair that I am normally a size 11. Needed to purchase a size 10.5. I would recommend these boots to anyone looking for stylish boots.

Just an awesome pair of boots! They slipped on without an issue right out of the box and have barely been off my feet since. They look great with a pair of jeans and are perfect for going out or just relaxing at home. Saving up to by another pair in brown!

ANOTHER FRYE! SAME RESULT! WOW!!! Just received my second pair of Frye’s! I just bought the Gaucho color a week earlier and I had the same reaction, this boot is amazing, Comfort, Style simply cannot be beat. A little tight getting into depending on your sock you decide to wear, but I feel the boot is comfortable right out of the box and will be even better when broken in Great with Jeans and while riding the bike! Quality is top notch and you will be very happy, I was so pleased after I purchased the gaucho color; I felt I needed to have them in Black and I was right they are just perfect... Zappos has been great, slight confusion with the pair they sent but they quickly exchanged them and I received the boots the following day! Zappos is a Wow company only delivering amazing customer service 1 click or phone call at a time. Now that I discovered Zappos I will never by shoes at a store again... Thanks Zappos!!

Fantastic!!! I would have given 5 stars all around but I would like to have more arch support for a boot in this price range. I normally wear an 11 in other shoes but I had to go down to a 10 in these. It was explained to me that they are sized slightly larger because most people wear thicker socks with them. I bought some arch supports to go in them and I wear them on stage with my band for 4 hours a night. Real, classic style and the finest quality materials without a doubt.
