I read a review that the toe box was too tight. After trying them on I thought the same thing until I loosened the shoestrings up quite a bit. I was able to get my foot in the shoe and then re-tie them. They were just right! I recommend spraying a nubuck protector before wearing - especially the off white color!

These boots were SO heavy and stiff that I couldn’t bear them. They sure looked beautiful but I sent them back.

I ordered these to compare to the Alta hiker because I couldn’t decide which style I liked better. I knew right as I was unboxing these that they would go back. Unlike the Alta hiker the leather on these feels cheap and completely unluxurious. I work with leather for a living and I wasn’t even convinced it was real leather on these boots. The style is ok, just not for me. The Alta hikers win due to material, fit, and comfort.

I absolutely love these boots! I purchased the Samantha Hiker in bone and I get so many compliments whenever I wear them. However I was very disappointed that they did not come with the dark green laces. I exchanged them for a new pair and they didn’t have the green laces either. They did come with a plain tan flat lace and a tan patterned round lace, cute but very disappointing not to get the green laces.I was worried about getting the light Nubuck finish scuffed up, but I have a suede/ nubuck cleaning kit with a brush, an eraser and a rubber comb type tool and it easily erases small scuff marks. I suppose a protectant applied to them would be a good idea! These do run pretty snug across the toe box area and may be too tight on wide feet. They have stretched out after several wears and are no longer tight on my feet. I am a true size 7 and I purchased size 7. I would go up a half size if you want to wear thick socks or have a wider foot. The shearling is only at the collar so they aren’t super warm. I really like them and may purchase a different color next year!

I was slightly on the fence about this boot at first as I did not want something too cutesy and I feared that the shearling collar caused them to skirt that realm. However, the design of the rest of the boot? the rubber lug sole and the form-fitting vamp? give them just the right amount of edge. They look great with a crop jean, or with a turned-up straight jean. The brushed, waxed leather is gorgeous and is a true neutral that looks as good with black as anything else. I have several frye boots and shoes, all of which are a size 10, but I opted for an 11 in these so that I can use an insole and wear a thick wool sock. I think they are the perfect companion to the rest of my Frye collection!

Love these boots!!!! If you want them a little warmer you can add a shearling insole and it will keep your feet toasty. Formed right to my feet didn't need to break them in, but should note I have narrow feet. I went back and forth with the Doc Marten's but loved that these were less bulky and more feminine.

I wasn't sure about these boots when I ordered them being that they were ivory, but when i received them the color is what I would call bone or cement that has a touch of grey hue over the yellow hue that ivory has which makes it more versatile. I've worn them three times and have had no problem with rubbing or needing a break in time. They fit true to size for me being a size 5.5 and ordered 5.5. I wore them with tights and a skirt one day and got so many compliments even from strangers so they are quite easy to pair with many styles. I love that I can adjust them to fit nice and slim around my ankles since so many boots alway gap on me. They are a nubuck material that comes weather treated and are easy to clean with a suede brush if you get any marks on them. Great buy, love them!

I purchased these in the ivory nubuck. The color gives them a feminine touch. Plan to wear them with long dresses this fall and winter, although pants would go well too. They came with 2 sets of shoelaces, and I was able to purchase other colors as well. The neutral color goes with about everything. They feel sturdy, and the laces give you the opportunity to wear different thickness of socks or hose. Well made and classy!

This is my 6th pair of Frye boots. Nothing else compares when it comes to the quality and fit for me. Having a very small, narrow foot makes it difficult for me to purchase shoes, but Frye never fails for me! The cognac color is absolutely beautiful, and the contrast between that and the fur cuff at the top is stunning. Definitely worth purchasing this as a Christmas gift to myself!

Stylish and extremely warm. If you plan on wearing very thick socks (which you don't really need to) you may want to order just a half size up. Very happy with my purchase!

I got the black one this month. It is excellent in extreme cold. It's my daily boots while on a ski trip in Vermont. My feet are warm & comfy on -5F temp with merino socks. And has great grip on icy walks. My best purchase to date!

I bought these in black after lusting after them for over a year...and they did not disappoint! They don't need much breaking in to be comfortable, and they are surprisingly flattering; my legs look slimmer and longer and my feet don't look gigantic, which was a concern when buying online. It's been dry here in CA so I haven't had a chance to test out the weatherproof-ness, but these boots feel sturdy and well worth the price. I get compliments from men and women :) My feet are somewhat on the wide side so I tried 7, my usual size, and a 7.5. The 7.5 ended up fitting much better so I recommend you get your usual size and a half size up.

I initially bought this boot to wear in New York because I knew we would be doing a lot of walking in the cold. The boot was super comfy right out of the box and while I thought it would stand up to the cold in New York, my toes were a bit cold. I love wearing these boots around town and they seriously go with everything! I think my next pair of Fryes will be shearling lined but for now, I love this boot.

Best fall bootie I bought. Always buy Frye's because they last such a long time and never go out of style. Been wearing them since high school.

Wore these boots almost everyday this winter! Comfortable and sturdy without being bulky. Love the lug sole during winter.

This is my fifth pair of fryes and probably my favorite! So pretty and excellent quality. They will need some time to break in like all my other fryes but these will be a staple in my wardrobe for a long time. They fit true to size.
