These boots are not what they show on the website
"I purchased these boots last Friday and when I received them, the front of the boot is tremendously to round and the leather is too soft. They look more like work boots instead of a casual boot. I reached out to see if I can exchange them or get a credit and they told me since it was 30% off and it said final sale that there was nothing that they can do so I’m here to tell you that I recommend whoever is looking into these boots. Do not purchase these boots because they’re not nowhere near the boot that they show on their website like I said the roundness of the boot is two round and the leather is very very soft so as far as I’m concerned, they get a half a star from me do not recommend buying these boots because you will not be happy and you won’t not be able to exchange them for your money back or even a Store credit. I will not be buying anything else from this company."
Excellent quality and stylish boot.
"Excellent quality and stylish boot. Love the leather laces which add a nice touch to the already classic boot."

The metal piece shown on
"The metal piece shown on the side of the image fell off during the second use. Called customer service and left a voicemail. No one called back and there is no one ever available whenever I call back."

Stylish and comfortable. Supple leather
"Stylish and comfortable. Supple leather that encompasses your foot and gets better with each step."
Uncomfortable; sole noises; and broken laces
"TL;DR They are very uncomfortable, or just not true to Frye's own sizing. They make a hissing noise when walking. Leather laces broke. I bought these boots because they improved on three features compared with the Bowery Lace-Up, which I previously bought: (1) they don't have a zipper (the zipper on my Bowery Lace-Up broke, and I had to have it repaired); (2) they have a 100% rubber outsole (the Bowery Lace-Up had leather exposure at the toe-tip, which wore very quickly and I had to have them repaired twice); (3) I love the metal button on the flap on the side, since that part of the boot is also susceptible to wear. Because of these improvements, I was really excited to buy these and thought they would be my dream boots. Unfortunately several issues have come up that reduce my opinion of the boots. First, the leather laces broke the very first time that I put them on. Customer service was fantastic and generously replaced the laces. Second, the rubber outsole makes the sound of a soft gaseous release when I walk. Because of the design of the sole, there is space between the rubber outsole and the welt; the air in that space is forced outward when it is stepped on, creating a "pssh"-like noise. Third, and most importantly, they are terribly uncomfortable. The Barrett Lace-Up is the third pair of leather boots I've bought from Frye Company (all three are lace-ups of similar designs); the previous two pairs fit great, so I ordered the same size as the previous two. So either these boots run very small for Frye's own sizing, or they are true to size but are just inherently uncomfortable. Knowing that sometimes boots take time to break in and expand, and since they were the same size as my previous Frye boots, I was patient and wore them consistently despite the discomfort and even bruises that came with it. I can report that they are not breaking in or expanding. One more nit-picky detail (which does not really influence my overall rating): I would prefer that the layers on the heel were (from top to bottom) leather–rubber, instead of rubber–leather–rubber. The long rubber outsole that extends into the heel takes away slightly from the appearance. The Bowery Lace-Up had a better heel design in this regard."
