best boots review on FRYE Womens Elena Boot Black

FRYE Womens Elena Boot Black

I got these because they filled several of my requirements -- I wanted plain boots , no buckles. Wanted a rubber sole that would be good on wet slippery surfaces. Wanted almond or rounded toe, not western style Preferred no zipper. I really love these-- got them last year and wore them a lot. They are very comfortable and easy to keep looking good. (Mine are brown leather). Because they have that slanted top-- higher on the outside of the boot than the inside, they have a bit of edge. The only bit of a concern is that they're fairly heavy -- not in an absolute sense but if you're used to wearing Uggs you'll notice the difference. Also unlike others I find that there is a little space between the top inside of the boot and my leg, even with jeans tucked in. They have a bit of a cavalier look to them-- not real fitted. But they couldn't be and still be a pull on with no zipper.

    I bought these boots after searching for a while. I love them. They are so comfortable and stylish. You can wear them with a dress or skinny jeans. I got so many compliments on them from the first time I wore them. They are a bit pricey, but worth every penny. I am a frye boot fan. I own 2 pairs and I will never buy another brand boot. They run true to size. I have skinny legs, and the opening was just right. Not too big.

    I was a bit apprehensive about ordering these boots based on the other review about the bronze glaze. And I admit, my heart sank when I pulled the boots out of the box and found that, yes indeed, they did have that weird bronzey look. However, they fit SO well and looked SO beautiful that I decided I could live with it. But I didn't have to! I always condition my new boots with Frye Boot Conditioner (in a round black tin) - and as I was doing this, the bronze glaze disappeared! The cloth I was using to apply the conditioner got really black - so I guess the bronze stuff was some kind of protectant on the leather that rubbed off when I rubbed the conditioner on. The boots are completely matte black now and I am delighted. The Elena is THE perfect boot for skinny calves. They do not gape on my legs, they don't have any stupid elastic goring, and there is no zipper to mess around with. The leather is so soft and I bought them especially for that wonderful lug sole (after slipping around in my leather-soled Campus boots for too long). I love them and highly recommend them (oh, and I also think they run a 1/2 size big, as is usually the case with Frye boots, my normal shoe size is a 7 - I purchased a 6 1/2 in these and they fit perfectly).

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...
