Hot looking, but the fit? I own 3 pair of Frye boots. They all fit like the baseball glove you’ve had since you were 11. This shoe immediately hurt my ankle, on both feet right where the bottom of the bone ends on the outside of my foot. Like an idiot, I wore them out hoping they would “break-in”. This did not happen, and I could not even think about returning them because I wore them outside already. I took them to my shoe guy, he put a 1/2″ rise in them, took the shoe off my ankle, and they are all good. They look great, feel “O.K.”, and cost me $25.00 more for the fix. Word to the wise: Do not wear or buy a shoe that does not feel good from the very start. Every shoe fitting web site I have gone on will tell you this, but I did not listen.
Rugged elegance - This is a rugged Oxford with an elegant, sleek shape that works well with both chinos/khakis at work and cords/jeans for the weekend. Typical of Frye footwear, the quality is excellent, and should last for many years. This isn’t a mass-produced shoe from China; it’s clearly made by craftspeople in Mexico who take pride in their work. The overall design is simple, with one adornment — a brass rivet mid-shoe that enhances rather than detracts from the Marco Oxford’s timelessness.
These are the greatest shoes and very comfortable too! I searched everywhere for them and ZAPPOS.com was the only place I could find them. ZAPPOS delivered the shoes the very next day, I will definitely be doing business again with ZAPPOS. Thanks, Dani Teeter This boot clog is very stylish…I love the look. Because of the sturdy nature of the build of the clog, it is not the most comfortable clog I have; give it some time for breaking in. It is, however, the much more comfortable than the boot, which I tried first.
I ordered these last night and they were on my doorstep this morning!!! How do they do that! And I love these shoes. I’m not sure which I like better with jeans-these or my Frye Marco Oxford shoes!!! In these I bought my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly. fantastic service - Ordered these shoes on Wed., got them on Fri.! Fast and fab. service! These are comfortable and look sharp! I have a high instep and was doubtful these would fit, but they are the best fitting clog type shoes I’ve ever owned. Very roomy. Sizes very so much with different shoes so I,m hesitant to say that they run big. I also have the belted harness boots, which don’t have the tapered heel. These are actually more comfortable width wise.
I am surprised at how heavy these shoes are, compared to my other pairs of cowboy boots. I have both J. Chisholm and Donald J Pliner cowboy boots that are at least half the weight of these mules. And, although I am a perfect size 6 in other domestic brands, these were a half size larger. I work in the mountains of Colorado, where it is snowy and slippery, and these mules hold their own. I felt that they ran true to size, but I noticed slight variations in fit, mostly width, so it pays to try on a few pair if you don’t feel 100% comfortable. Love these clog/boot - I love these! I knew about Frye Years and Years ago but they never had anything like this, I am a clog person and I love these. You don’t walk out of them, they work well with all type of clothing. The leather worked itself within about 2 wearings, they conform to your foot like magic!! I did buy a 1/2 less 9 1/2 then I usually wear.
I love these shoes! These shoes look so good with bootcut jeans. Very comfortable, and very well made. I bought these after buying the Frye Harness boots, they’re all I wear now! Oh, one more thing: I will probably buy most of my shoes from Zappos from now on. They are a great company! Frye’s Belted Harness Mule - These are absolutely the best shoes of their type around. The quality is impeccable especially compared with many imports costing more. I have both the black and now the chestnut brown, which is a nice rich color. I travel frequently all around the world and they go with me every time. Almost every time the airport security people ask me where I got my shoes (you do have to take them off to go through most detectors!) since they’re not sold in a lot of retail outlets. I always say Zappos! The mules are a bit heavier than most so they may seem clunky on hardwood floors; however they support your feet very well and you can walk forever all day in them without discomfort. I just wish Frye would make a true higher heel version of these mules in black or brown for dressier occasions - the version they have (which I ordered and returned) is an import with nowhere near the same quality or fit.
Cool look clog - I have admired Frye boots for a long time. This was not the ordinary clog. It runs about a half size larger than my usual shoe size. It is heavier than a Dansko clog, but it looks so-o-o good with boot cut jeans. Kinda motorcycle cool with a touch of cowgirl. I like them and will probably buy the full boot next.
Just what I wanted - Somewhere along the line, I decided I needed a pair of “kick-a$$” boots and figured out that meant I wanted the heel of a cowboy boot. Nothing else gives you that sway. I’m not a boot person, though; because I have large calves. This was a perfect solution. They were just a little snug at first, but being leather, I knew they would loosen up. And they have. Love the free shipping. It was the deciding factor in where to order them from. Love this shoe - I tried a pair of the Frye motorcycle boots, which didn’t fit. I have a very high arch and I wide instep. For some weird reason, the mules fit perfectly. Very cool with long skinny jeans and vintage sweater. Broke in after a couple of wearings. Works kind of like a funky Dansko clog.
