Customer Reviews Frye Gia Canvas Low Lace

I have very wide feet and very high arches. I disagree with others saying that these feel narrow. I originally ordered a 7.5 because my size range is 6.5 wide to 7.5 regular. They were much too large. I exchanged for a 7 regular and they fit perfectly with thick ankle socks. They have a little arch support for even my very high arches, but would be better with an arch support insole. These shoes are VERY good looking on my feet. I think they're slimming even. This pair is made in China. My initial impression is they are very well constructed. This is my first pair of Frye shoes. I know! I didn't spring for a pair of boots first because I wanted to see what their quality is like. Based on this pair I think I may have found a new go-to footwear company.

I normally wear a 6.5 in shoes, and ordered these in 7 and 6.5 based on some reviews saying they were narrow in the toes (a problem I've had with similar styles before). They fit true to size, and I had no problems with the toes being narrow. They feel a little roomy to me, to be honest. I returned the 7's. These are very comfortable, much more so than Converse or other canvas shoe styles I've owned. The canvas is a little stiff, but I imagine that'll wear in over time. I personally adore the leather laces (though they do come with fabric ones too), and they are a little hard to tie at first, but like any leather they'll break in and soften with time. I like the look of them with an otherwise plain shoe. The rubber also feels much thicker than converse, so I imagine it'll last longer. (Oh, and like most of this style, a small coating of fabric/felt is on the bottom. It will wear off very quickly, but it does make them slick then first few times you wear them. (Fun fact, this is done to make them count as "slippers" for customs/import tax reasons, but it is made to wear off in the first couple days).

I'm a major Frye fan. This is my first pair of canvas and I'm very happy with them. I'm normally a 9 1/2 & that's what I got. They fit well with mid weight socks. The leather laces are really long & stiff...thus the 4 star style rating. Hoping they soften with use. Haven't tried the other cloth laces yet. Overall very happy.

I needed to size down one whole size.

I love these shoes! I have wide feet so I sized up a full size. They're comfortable straight out of the box and are very attractive!

I have a flat and wide foot. I went up a half size just to be certain I wouldn’t have issues as the other reviewers said with it being narrow. I had absolutely NO problem with it! I tried arch inserts (I still had room to add them) but felt more comfortable without them. I wore them with my bridesmaid dress in a wedding and they were ADORABLE! Although after the ceremony wearing no-show socks, I already had a blister on top my foot from the seam rubbing me raw. I changed into full coverage socks and then rocked the night away in them no problem!

cute show but cut small. get a 1/2 size larger.

Good fit, comfy, should break in nice I think.

Feels okay, a bit tight in the toe width.

I loved these sneakers, but they were much smaller than I expected. They're very cute and fairly comfortable, although there's a leather ridge on the inside heel that would make these uncomfortable to wear without socks. With socks, you don't notice it.

Really cute shoe, but too narrow for me, like that it comes with choice of shoelaces

I loved the style of these shoes. I was very disappointed that they did not fit my feet well, to narrow in the ball of foot/toes area. Sad to have to return.

Too short and too narrow for my feet but I really like the shoes and am sorry they didn't fit.

Too stiff.

This was a nice looking shoes but it was smaller and narrower than usual and with no arch support and thus I had to return.
