Leather is unattractive. Fit is
"Leather is unattractive. Fit is tighter than any of my other frye boots. Was on 'final sale' so I wasn't able to return this goose-egg of a boot."
Great boot. Would buy them
"Great boot. Would buy them again."
Love’em
"After new soles, and new heels twice, my old pair finally bit the dust after about 25 years. I searched high and low for a new pair before finally going online to your site. I like a flat smooth sole, hard to find. Seems like all shoes and boots have ridges."
Heel Broke first wear
"I could not have been more excited for this boot. They look and fit fantastic. Unfortunately, I wore the boots for the very first time last night. When I was taking off the boot, the entire heel came off. No one has answered any of attempts to contact the company. I saved up for months to afford this 500 dollar product, than the first wear the heel came off completely. Sevral other of the 1 star review's have had this same exact issue with the heel. I need someones help please."
Bad Quality
"For 20 years I have been a customer of the brand and this is the first time I have had a complaint about the product. Both boots have the heel detached from the sole, attached by screws, which will come off in a short time. In addition, the left boot has a cut on the side. It is a pity that the product is so expensive and has come with such a poor finish."
good product. . . . . walked around the store
"good product. . . . . walked around the store and fit great. . . . . . not for walking 8 or 10 miles on the Appalachian trail but GREAT eveyday casual boot."
An awesome boot. Stylish and
"An awesome boot. Stylish and comfortable. 10/10."
New to the brand
"This is my first Frye purchase. I came across the Prison Boot style in an advertisement and immediately liked the look of the boot. I read the sizing reviews and they mostly pointed towards running a little big. I ended up buying my normal size and they fit perfectly. The boot is heavier than I was expecting and the leather was thicker. A very well made boot that should last a long time. I also like the style more than I did just seeing the pictures online. I’m happy with my purchase. ."
