jury still out (UPDATED)
By R. Stone
when I was in college, law school and beyond, I lived in the Frye Jodhpur (spelling?) low-cut boot which Frye discontinued... those things were sooooo comfortable and, in an era when there were a lot of good shoe repair businesses, I would simply re-heel and sole the boots - each pair lasted me about a decade... of daily use...when I received these boots and finally got my feet into the boots (more on that in a moment) my feet "remembered" how great Frye boots felt on my feet... however, the problem I encountered was this: 1) I could not get my feet into the boot with cotton sweat socks on so I put on cotton dress socks as they are thinner... 2) while I had no problem with one boot (the left foot) it is a struggle to get on the right boot... when I say struggle I mean struggle! - I have to pull and pull (I have actually been afraid I am going to tear the loops right off the boot I am pulling so hard) to get the boot on...ironically, once the boot is on, the boot fits very comfortably on my foot - and getting them off is not difficult... the problem is getting my foot past the ankle area (where the harness strap is) on the one (right) boot...just for the heck of it I measured the circumference of each of the boots at the very top of the boot (my boots are size 11) the left boot was just under 40 mm at the top and the right boot was just over 38.5 mm at the top - apparently that 1+ mm difference accounts for the huge disparity in the ability to get the boots on.... just for the heck of it, I contacted Frye and asked what they would suggest - their advice, not surprising, was to take the boots to a cobbler and have the cobbler "gently" stretch the ankle area on the tight boot or simply wait for the boots to stretch and soften "naturally" over time with use...the problem with their advice: in this day and age find a cobbler! there are a handful of cobblers in our area but each is about 15 miles away!!! and when I read the reviews, one reviewer would praise the business, the next reviewer would state that the business ruined their shoes!! since these boots retail for over $200 I cannot take the chance that some incompetent will ruin the boots... so, for now, I am going to rely on the advice of Frye and hope that continued use will open up the tightness and allow me to eventually be able to get the right boot on without a struggle...I will add to my review (if possible) in a few months and state whether use has resolved the issue....UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE:well, after about a year of use the boots are easier to put on but certainly no picnic... just like the person who commented on my review, I find that sometimes if I pull on the back of the boot it is easier to get them on - I have to admit that it no longer takes forever to get the boots on but they still do not slide on easily... now keep in mind I have a wider-than-normal foot (I wear New Balance sneakers and I always get 2E or 4E for the extra width) but my other (non-Frye) boots do not cause the same problem - I do not know whether Frye makes their boots narrower than most but they are definitely still snug even after a year of use...I love the look of the Frye square-toe boot but I wish that these had been made a little bit wider or that Frye would offer a wide version of their boots...since I live in the Northeast, I never wear these boots in the summer and when there is a lot of snow I wear a pair of lined boots... therefore, I expect these boots will last me for decades of use - what I am trying to say is that despite my issues getting these boots on, the old Frye quality seems to still be there - these are not junk boots that will wear out anytime soon....

Great boots!
By J. Aguirre
These boots are terrific. The leather is top quality and the fit is perfect. As an FYI, there have been a few who have suggested you should order a smaller size than your normal fit, but in my case I wear an 11, that's what I ordered and the size is spot on.

I ignored the order a size harger comment and glad I did. I love these things! I'd sleep in them if my wife would let me. Now there's not much padding in the sole, but I guess its part of the baddass feeling you get when wearing them. I would honestly love to get two pair of these, one for everyday wear and the other to keep nice and clean for special occasions. The sellers service was good too.
