FRYE Womens Cavalry Strap 15L

These boots are great. I'm just under 5'6 and they hit just under my knee. I have many pairs of Fryes, and I find these comparable to the harness 15R in terms of height and style. These, however, are "dressier," and the leather is not as stiff. For example, I'd wear my harness 15Rs in the rain or with snow on the ground, but I wouldn't wear these cavalry straps. The leather on these is thinner, comparatively, and the sole is leather rather than neoprene. These boots are pretty easy to pull on and off, but may be difficult for someone with high arches (I have flat feet, no problem there). I bought my usual size in them and they fit well. I can see the shaft on these eventually slouching down with wear, since they the leather is thin, which isn't a problem for me but may be off-putting for some. When I say "thin," I don't mean cheap. The leather is soft and high quality, its just not as thick as some of the other, heavier Frye styles. Specifically I think of the harness and engineer styles as being heavier.

    Great looking boot that is made in the USA. Only problem with it was my wife said it had too much slip in it. Ended up getting another made in USA Frye boot, of which only a handful are made in USA.

    I got these recently, and have worn them several times already. I love these boots! They're well-made, and the leather is nice and soft. They don't look like I'm wearing men's boots, and I think they look good with skirts and tights, as well as jeans and cords. Frye boots cost more, but they're more substantial and expensive-looking than regular fashion boots. I can see these lasting for years.

    Just received my Cavalry Strap 15L boots in dark brown! Have been searching all my life for these boots and I'm not kidding! Finally Frye made the boot I have been searching for that didn't exist until now! No more late nights on Zappos and Amazon searching and dreaming. Tall shaft, leather sole, leather stacked heel, gorgeous brown and comfortable. Tried the Frye Campus in a 9 and it didn't fit my foot or leg and very hard to get on and off. These fit like butter. Easy to get on and off, I don't need a man (or my sister) to pull these off! They are generous in the leg but not baggy, just a nice fitting boot around the calf. Great with skirts and tights and I can tuck jeans into them easily. Flattering boot. I am 5'8" tall, my calf is about 14" and wear a size 9. (Sometime I'm an 8.5 but never a 9.5) The shaft is nice and tall and doesn't cut into my leg at all, it is loose but stands up tall without slouching. Toe is perfect (I don't like pointy toes) and the buckle across ankle is nice without being too flashy. I have had the Frye Harness boots for 15 years and love those, they are size 8.5 and well worn. I am all about comfort these days so If you want something comfortable and classy looking these are the boots!

    Update: I had to return these boots. I notices black thread coming out of the sole stitching (which is sewn with white) and was afraid the whole thing would start to unravel. Not something I would expect from Frye. Only got to wear them twice before I noticed this stray thread. They also started to get baggie around the ankle and not stand up tall, not expected after only 2 wearings. Still waiting for my refund from Amazon...

boots review on Old Gringo Womens Ellie Yellow I had been stalking these boots for several months now and finally bit the bullet and ordered them in black. Gorgeous right out of the box. Leather interior, leather sole. The quality and workmanship on this boot is great. Now here is the real reason you should buy this boot: comfort, support, durability. I brought several pairs of shoes on our honeymoon to Paris and London. I knew we would be doing a ton of walking and purchased the Melissa boot 3 days before our honeymoon. Out of the 14 days that we were on vacation I wore the Melissa boot 14 of those days. They were amazing. They are so stylish looking that people often mistook me as Parisian. On most days we walked a MINIMUM of 8 miles. Our flat was on the 9th floor of a walk-up. We walked and walked and walked some more. These boots took the beating and kept on going. My feet felt great! And I had no issues with chafing or blisters. It wasn't till day 13...

Best riding boots ever!

boots review on FRYE Shirley Over The Knee Riding Leather I loved and wanted this boot regardless of the fact that i knew my calf size was larger then what the boot circumfrance stated. My calf is a 16 3.4.. but i knew that in a couple of days it would give and it did. When i first tried them on they wouldnt go pass my calf then after wearing them in the house they gave but then i realized i should have tried them with socks. I put the socks on and then in two days they stretched and fit my calf nicely. i always order a half size up, which was plenty of room to wear with socks and be comfy. I love this boot and thats why i took 4 days to decide if it was worth all the stretching and it was. Dont plan on buy another black boot for some years. These are great; they feel and smell fantastic!!!! First pair of Frye boots and i'm not disappointed; worth all the money that i spent on them. Get your FRYE Shirley Over The Knee Riding Leather Now!

My Favorite Boots Ever

boots review on La Canadienne Womens Blanche Patent Maybe these aren't high-heeled sexy boots , but these boots are sexy and crazy cute. I ordered them in cherry. One change I would make to these boots if I were the designer: I'd make them knee length. They are a little short for the style. I normally wear a 9.5WW. Even though these were only a W, I had plenty of room in the footbed. I've ordered about eight pairs of boots trying to find one to fit and wished I could have kept these, even as an extra pair, since they aren't going to go with everything. My beef with these boots is that even though the calf opening says 16 inches, I could barely zip them up on my 16" calves (where I could on other boots of the same width). I wouldn't recommend buying them unless your calves are 15.5 or under. The leather does not feel like the type to stretch. A huge plus: these are extremely comfortable. They offer arch support (unheard of in most bo...
