These boots are fabulous!

boots review on Joan David Collection Womens Knee High

Joan David Collection Womens Knee High

I purchased these boots less than a week ago and they have already become a wardrobe staple. By expanding my research slightly beyond the Amazon.com horizon, I was able to see how these boots really fit, and make sure they were what I wanted.

These boots are slightly more slouchy (baggy in some areas) than the images represent. If you want to see a true example of how the boots will look, I recommend heading over to Zappos.com and watching the video that comes with their product description.

I bought my pair in Tan (size 9.5) and found it to be a true fit, with enough space in the shaft to tuck my boot-cut jeans into comfortably. The 2 1/2 inch heel gives me a touch of extra height and are still super comfortable to walk in. I have put these boots through their paces, spending hours walking around town in them, and they don't hurt my feet at the end of the day. The straps are adjustable for slight customization of size on the shaft.

I am typically not one to buy clothing/shoes based on designer names, but I specifically sought out a pair of FRYE boots based on the excellent word of mouth I've heard and their reputation for well-made, long lasting shoes. Check back on this review in 20 years and I'll let you know how they've held up! ;)

    The boot is beautiful and well made. I wear a 7.5 and this was true to size. The calf was a comfortable fit. Unfortunately, I did not like that the shaft hit just below the knee, so I returned them. If this is the look you are after, then these are the boots for you. They are of excellent quality and truly a tall boot.

    I am thrilled with my boots. Can't stop wearing them. I usually wear a 10 but in these 10 was a bit loose at the heel and the 9 1/2 was perfect. Comfortable from day one. I get many compliments on these boots and people stop me to ask me what brand they are. Delivery happened as expected and I used a gift card without difficulty for a portion of the price. Very happy with it all.

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...
