Love mah Troopas! I LOVE these styles of combat boots by Steve Madden! I'm so paranoid that they are gunna discontinue this style so i'm anxious about getting all of the essential colors. I own them in taupe and in black now, and i'm thinking the next pair will be the brown. I get so many compliments on them. I'm addicted to these boots!
Great Boots!!!!! I was a bit skeptical in buying these boots because it was the second time that I was trying them out. Boy was I happy that I gave these boots another try. They are pretty comfortable and look super cute with almost anything you wear. The only thing I would recommend is going a 1/2 size up as they do run a bit narrow. If you are thinking about trying these out go for it; you wont regret it!!!!!
These boots rock I am very happy with these boots! I usually wear a 7.5 and they fit true to size but if you want to wear thicker socks, I would get a half size larger, I bought the dark brown and love the color. The side zip is handy and the boots seems to be great quality except the laces, but who cares!
Love them! These boots are faboulous! They look great with legging jeans and an oversized sweater- very rugged and have that boyfriend look. I received tons of compliments the first time I wore them. I have a wide foot and wore them with thick socks the first time and was fine. Great buy for the price!
My New Go To ... I purchased these boots in black, for the more "combat ... look. I must say, I am impressed. For the price, they are perfect! They are super comfortable and very stylish with just about every outfit. Since I got them two weeks ago, I've worn them about 7 times! Skinny jeans, tights, dresses...so chic! And they're flat so they are never uncomfortable. They would even be perfect for an outdoor party, camping or festival. My boyfriend hates when I wear masculine looking things, but even he likes these!! lol Most definitely my new go to ... fall.. :D
Great for small calves and ankles I got these boots in black. They are true to size and very versatile. You can lace or zip them. I put them on, laced them to where I wanted and now just use the zipper. The only issue is that it is small in the ankle which makes it harder to get your foot into the ... am happy that the ankle is small otherwise I really don't like it when there is extra room in that area, it looks and feels bad. I still have room to fit a pair of jeans in the boots and I am sure if you have slightly larger calves you can still make it work by loosening the laces. I should mention that the boots came up a little higher than I expected initially. I think I was looking at too many different pairs and most were shorter than these. You can get a little bunching at the top of the ... if you wear jeans that aren't snug down to your ankle. I don't mind it though. I would not recommend these boots to someone with large ankles. They do start to look distressed after frequent wear but it works with the style of these boots (at least in black). Happy shopping!
Great BOOTS! These boots are just what I was looking for. The zipper on the side is perfect for making sure your skinny jeans squeeze right in. I have the cognac so they match with almost everything. These boots are VERY narrow so you have to wear thin socks with them- even if you really loosen the laces. Still, they are the perfect boots with dresses and jeans! I love them!
Great Boots!! Love these boots!! True to size, I'm an 8.5 and my foot feels good in the them, even thought they were a little challenging to get into. They are very stiff and I need to break them in badly because I could feel the walls of the ... digging into my ankle when I walked. They look amazing and I have been wanting a pair of military boots for a long time. I love the zipper on the side, the black color is great and will wear in perfectly, and the leather feels like great, heavy, sturdy leather.
They''re Great I ordered these in the brown, and the color is very similar to the picture. The zip on the inside is helpful so you don't have to lace/unlace them when you put them on and take them off. The leather is decent quality, they are comfortable, and I am complimented when I wear them. I typically wear a size 71/2 or 8, and the 71/2 is still roomy. I do recommend purchasing these boots.
Love the boots
great ... but made for narrow feet I thought these boots had the best look of all the "army" boots on the website under [$]. The finish of the leather is perfect. I wouldn't recommend these boots for a lot of walking. Also, they look great with any width jean.

mid calf boots - reviews
Love These Kicks This is my first time purchasing Frye brand boots, and I'm quite pleased. The style is incredible, they are a comfortable, supportive ... really love the color of the brown leather. The only thing I found that might deter some people is the fact that getting them on if you have a high arch is a bit of a workout. (i.e. the first time I put them on my neighbor had to pull on the shaft while I used all of my weight to jam my foot in). It was comical, but once my foot slipped into the squishy Frye cacoon, I was sold.
Love these boots!!! When I first received these boots in the mail I was very skeptical. They were really stiff and a bit tight on the top of my foot. I had read sooo many great reviews and advice about breaking them in so I decided it was at least worth a try. SOOOO glad I didn't return them! I bought this liquid leather stretch stuff from a shoe repair store and soaked the inside of them with it. I then wore them around all day. They boots are now perfectly formed to my feet. They are SUPER comfortable and I feel like I could kick some serious butt in them if needed LOL. They look great with my jeans tucked into them. They are going to be perfect for wet and cold Chicago winters. I highly recommend!
Great Boots!!! I had been looking for a great everyday ... would wear well with just about anything. Being a fan of Frye I knew that was the route I wanted to go. I am so glad I did. The boots are perfect! So versatile and comfy. The first time I wore them I was in Vegas and walked all day without any problems. Love the boots!!!
Love these! I finally ordered these boots after coveting them for over a year. I bought a size 9 in the Gaucho color. They are beautiful! They fit perfectly and I don't have any trouble getting them on or off. I want them in black now.
Smiling! Love my new boots! I am still breaking them in - as advised by other review writers. They are actually quite comfortable, but the part around my calves is still very stiff. The color and quality of the boots is awesome and I think that I am going to enjoy them for a very long time. Very excited about wearing them with skirts, dresses, and jeans. Going to be a great ... winter!
Classic. Frye Engineers are, without question, the finest boots I've ever owned. I read a lot of recommendations that said to go up a 1/2 size, but unless you need ultra thick socks, I wouldn't. These boots are tough, sturdy, look cooler the more worn in they become, and adjust well when the straps are tightened. The first day of wear was comfortable, but admittedly I blistered like mad after extended wear. But now they're pretty much bedroom slipper comfortable. I took the advice of the manufacturer and treated the leather and seams with mink oil, and they've retained their shape and color and gained some water resistance. They can be ornery to get on the first few times, but I compare the fit to a slim cowboy ... shaft. I'd steer clear of light colored socks until the insides are well worn, or you'll be looking at some stained heels and toes. But if you like firm footing and a high arch, you have found your Valhalla.
Nice but I bought these boots in anticipation of them being like my other Frye boots...I was a bit disappointed...the right foot rubbed against my ankle while the left foot fit perfectly...they are a bit chunky but that was fine for what I was going for...they felt a little rubbery...but they are protected leather...they are well made and worth the money...but I sent mine back because I couldn't stand the rubbing...wish they both fit the same way...Made in the USA and real leather...give them a try...it's worth it!
I wanted a pair of really sturdy leather boots for a while. I tried a few different pairs of fryes before settling on these. I'm short, so they don't overwhelm my legs or come up too high like taller styles do. They're a really flattering, versatile height. I think I'll be able to wear them through spring and fall as well as winter. The leather is stiff initially and the first couple times wearing the is painful but bearable. Make sure you have thick socks. My only complaint is the heel. I wish it were just a little less chunky.
Fantastic! I have been wanting a pair of Frye's for a very long time! I was in the "why spend almost $300 on a pair when I can get a pair that is similar for [$]", however, I have jumped ship! That great saying, you get what you pay for! These boots are AHHHH Mazing, and for someone who has a wonderful collection of leather boots from Italy, Spain and South America, I have to say these are at the very top of the best! They are thick leather so for the first couple of wears you are going to need to wear thick socks to break them in. They are a great ... just about anything! I'm extremely flat footed so it was a pain to get these on at first, but now, there's no problem. These boots are totally worth the $$$ and do not look cheap!
Awesome ... but.... I really, really like these boots. Well made and the leather is lovely. They will hold up well over the years. But... they are difficult to get on and off. Try as I might, I wasn't able to get my foot into one of the boots with the original pair I ordered, but based also on other reviews, I ordered another pair, and what do you know? They were slightly easier to put on. I took them in to a cobbler to have the insteps heat stretched. It helped a little, but I'll still have to continue breaking them in. I usually don't go through this much trouble with a pair of shoes and would normally just return them, but I love the looks of them and they are comfortable once they are on. A little wide in the heels, but overall feels true to size. I usually wear size 8.5 to 9, but if I had ordered 9, it would have been too big, though maybe easier to put on. I hold out hope I'll be able to break them in soon!
wanted to love them I thought the ... felt true to size. I ordered my normal shoe size because other reviews said they run big. I like to wear thicker socks with boots but definitely could not do that with these. I thought the boots were cute but none of my friends or husband liked them. And for the $ I couldn't justify keeping boots no one liked. So I sent them back.

These boots are AHHHH Mazing, and for someone who has a wonderful collection of leather boots from Italy, Spain and South America, I have to say these are at the very top of the best! They are thick leather so for the first couple of wears you are going to need to wear thick socks to break them in. They are a great ... just about anything! I'm extremely flat footed so it was a pain to get these on at first, but now, there's no problem. These boots are totally worth the $$$ and do not look cheap!
Awesome ... but.... I really, really like these boots. Well made and the leather is lovely. They will hold up well over the years. But... they are difficult to get on and off. Try as I might, I wasn't able to get my foot into one of the boots with the original pair I ordered, but based also on other reviews, I ordered another pair, and what do you know? They were slightly easier to put on. I took them in to a cobbler to have the insteps heat stretched. It helped a little, but I'll still have to continue breaking them in. I usually don't go through this much trouble with a pair of shoes and would normally just return them, but I love the looks of them and they are comfortable once they are on. A little wide in the heels, but overall feels true to size. I usually wear size 8.5 to 9, but if I had ordered 9, it would have been too big, though maybe easier to put on. I hold out hope I'll be able to break them in soon!
wanted to love them I thought the ... felt true to size. I ordered my normal shoe size because other reviews said they run big. I like to wear thicker socks with boots but definitely could not do that with these. I thought the boots were cute but none of my friends or husband liked them. And for the $ I couldn't justify keeping boots no one liked. So I sent them back.
The circumference is based on a size 6. If you order a larger size, the circumference will increase.
This shoe runs a half size large. Consider ordering a half size smaller.

mid calf boots - reviews
Still Amazing after 3 years! I bought these boots in black 3 years ago and wear them all the time, luvvv them! These Fryes are so well constructed and the leather has softened up purrrfectly. The only thing I had to replace after the first year, was the bottom of the heels from wearing them so much. Soooo worth the $$$. They look great with skinny pants, skirts/dresses, and they'll be the ... you'll keep the longest in your wardrobe...timeless classics!! I'm usually a solid 8, but I bought them a half size smaller, since they ran a little big - you'll be glad you did!!
Amazing. These are my first pair of Frye boots but certainly not my last!! I've had these since summer and they are my most favorite boots ever! When I received them they were a little more cowgirl than I had hoped but I fell in love with them anyway! I got them in the Dark Brown color and they are really rugged looking!! Perfect height they hit mid calf and you can dress them up or down depending on your style! Defiantly an all year-round ... I've gotten so many compliments on them and I feel like I can conquer the world in them! You defiantly get what you pay for and I certainly wouldn't think twice about buying another pair of Frye boots!
Love These are the most amazing boots I have ever had. When I ordered them, I thought they were going to be a little bit more motorcycle looking but they came and just looked like a western ... doesn't matter because they are sooooooooo comfortable, no break in period needed and they are cute! I get compliments every time that I wear them! You can defiantly tell that they are made extremely well when you put them on. And they're so versatile that you can virtually wear them with anything! I'm in love and already considering getting another pair! If you're contemplating paying so much for them defiantly take the plunge because this is a staple that can be in your closet for years to come because these are so classic! Also they will last forever because they are so well made!
I love these boots! I own multiple pairs of Frye boots but never managed to purchase a pair of the Harness boots until now and I love them! They're comfortable and I don't see a problem with the stiffness of the leather in the tan color because I'm sure they will soften up like most Frye leathers. They do run a half size large so I would suggest purchasing a half size down. I can't wait to wear these with jeans, dresses, skirts, and on rainy days!
favorite boots I got these boots 1/2 size smaller because they run big and will strech. At fisrt it was harder to get in but once I got in and walked in them for awhile they streched quickly. I have another pair that I bought in my size and cannot wear them anymore since they are too big now. I have the brown crazy horse color and love it. It has this aged look about them. Great with jeans. The neg is I have yet to find socks that would stay on in these boots. Not a big deal though. Would buy and recomend them anyway.
Awesome love the boots, fit great, feel great - even the guys were in awe at how great they looked!
cool boots Love these cool boots. Had to try on 10 and 91/2 to decide on the size. I have size 10 and that was definitely too big. Kept the 91/2 eventhough a bit tight in the width~believing it will strech. Had a hard time with the quality. I had to exchange them several times because each pair had some defects. Would recomend the boots, but order your size and a half size smaller to compare. Overall I would recomend the boots.
Impressive These boots are great! I would recommend to anyone. I'm saying normal width, true to size, but they are a smidge roomy. And, I have pretty big calves, so I was concerned after reading these reviews about needing assistance to get the ... off.... no fear. The calf area had plenty of room and there is no problem getting on or off. LOVE THEM!
A Classic! I didn't buy my Frye's from Piperlime, but I had to write a review for anyone who is on the fence about these...I have had these boots for 7+ years now and I LOVE them. I wear them all the time. They are super comfortable and really durable. When I first bought them, they took a little getting used to since they are quite heavy, but after that, they are fantastic. They look great out of the box, but they weather so beautifully, they only get better with age. Mine are beaten up and now somewhat burnished looking, and they keep getting better! I highly recommend these boots!
These boots rule! I am a big Frye fan, I love their harness, campus, engineer and cowboy boots. They last forever - I have a pair of harness boots that are 18 years old and I had them re heeled and re soled and they will probably last another 18... If you can own only one pair of Frye's I would recommend these- they work well with just about anything, so versatile.
3rd Time''s a Charm I am a size 8 but ordered a half size down after reading other reviews, size 7.5 was tight and I struggled even getting my foot in the ... returned them and got the size 8, which fit perfectly but I was surprised by what a light brown/orangish the boots turned out to be. They looked nothing like the Dark Brown Crazy Horse pictures on [@]. Plus they were way too distressed for my taste. The last pair of 8's I received are still lighter than I expected but were a much better finish. I was so confused that I went to [...] website and saw that their photo looked just like the boots I had gotten! Don't get me wrong, I love the boots - great quality- and [...] was very helpful, but it would be nice to know what you are ordering. My advice, stick to your normal size unless you have narrow feet & check out [...] for a better idea of the Dark Brown Crazy Horse color.
Love mah Troopas! I LOVE these styles of combat boots by Steve Madden! I'm so paranoid that they are gunna discontinue this style so i'm anxious about getting all of the essential colors. I own them in taupe and in black now, and i'm thinking the next pair will be the brown. I get so many compliments on them. I'm addicted to these boots!
Great Boots!!!!! I was a bit skeptical in buying these boots because it was the second time that I was trying them out. Boy was I happy that I gave these boots another try. They are pretty comfortable and look super cute with almost anything you wear. The only thing I would recommend is going a 1/2 size up as they do run a bit narrow. If you are thinking about trying these out go for it; you wont regret it!!!!!
These boots rock I am very happy with these boots! I usually wear a 7.5 and they fit true to size but if you want to wear thicker socks, I would get a half size larger, I bought the dark brown and love the color. The side zip is handy and the boots seems to be great quality except the laces, but who cares!
Love them! These boots are faboulous! They look great with legging jeans and an oversized sweater- very rugged and have that boyfriend look. I received tons of compliments the first time I wore them. I have a wide foot and wore them with thick socks the first time and was fine. Great buy for the price!
My New Go To ... I purchased these boots in black, for the more "combat ... look. I must say, I am impressed. For the price, they are perfect! They are super comfortable and very stylish with just about every outfit. Since I got them two weeks ago, I've worn them about 7 times! Skinny jeans, tights, dresses...so chic! And they're flat so they are never uncomfortable. They would even be perfect for an outdoor party, camping or festival. My boyfriend hates when I wear masculine looking things, but even he likes these!! lol Most definitely my new go to ... fall.. :D
Great for small calves and ankles I got these boots in black. They are true to size and very versatile. You can lace or zip them. I put them on, laced them to where I wanted and now just use the zipper. The only issue is that it is small in the ankle which makes it harder to get your foot into the ... am happy that the ankle is small otherwise I really don't like it when there is extra room in that area, it looks and feels bad. I still have room to fit a pair of jeans in the boots and I am sure if you have slightly larger calves you can still make it work by loosening the laces. I should mention that the boots came up a little higher than I expected initially. I think I was looking at too many different pairs and most were shorter than these. You can get a little bunching at the top of the ... if you wear jeans that aren't snug down to your ankle. I don't mind it though. I would not recommend these boots to someone with large ankles. They do start to look distressed after frequent wear but it works with the style of these boots (at least in black). Happy shopping!
Great BOOTS! These boots are just what I was looking for. The zipper on the side is perfect for making sure your skinny jeans squeeze right in. I have the cognac so they match with almost everything. These boots are VERY narrow so you have to wear thin socks with them- even if you really loosen the laces. Still, they are the perfect boots with dresses and jeans! I love them!
Great Boots!! Love these boots!! True to size, I'm an 8.5 and my foot feels good in the them, even thought they were a little challenging to get into. They are very stiff and I need to break them in badly because I could feel the walls of the ... digging into my ankle when I walked. They look amazing and I have been wanting a pair of military boots for a long time. I love the zipper on the side, the black color is great and will wear in perfectly, and the leather feels like great, heavy, sturdy leather.
They''re Great I ordered these in the brown, and the color is very similar to the picture. The zip on the inside is helpful so you don't have to lace/unlace them when you put them on and take them off. The leather is decent quality, they are comfortable, and I am complimented when I wear them. I typically wear a size 71/2 or 8, and the 71/2 is still roomy. I do recommend purchasing these boots.
Love the boots
great ... but made for narrow feet I thought these boots had the best look of all the "army" boots on the website under [$]. The finish of the leather is perfect. I wouldn't recommend these boots for a lot of walking. Also, they look great with any width jean.
