womens riding boots - reviews

Finally!!
I have been looking for the perfect pair of congac riding boots for 2 years and I finally found them. The key for me was sizing down a half size. I almost always wear an 8 which is the size I originally ordered for these. When I recieved them I loved the boots but they felt too clunky and they were too tall. I was really disappointed because I knew these were the boots I wanted but I didn't think they were going to work for me. I decided to go ahead and try the 7.5 since piperlime is great with returns but luckily they were perfect. I recieved my boots in November and love them even more today!

Great quality, worth the price!
My husband recently bought me the Paige Tall Riding boots in cognac for my birthday. I am 5'4 and have an average to slim build. They fit true to size and are absolutely stunning. The leather is soft and the color is so rich. They hit right below the knee and there is just enough room for skinny jeans or leggings inside. These boots were definitely an investment and will be a wardrobe staple for years to come!

Sooo pleased!!!
I'm in love!!! I have been on a "perfect riding ... hunt for months and AHHHH I finally found it in the paige ... ordered the cognac color and love the color. They are so comfortable too. These boots will go with everything..black, brown, dress up, dress down. I will live in these boots from fall to spring! They are worth the $ and will be a staple in my closet.

Another Amazing Pair of Frye Boots
I had been looking for the perfect pair of black boots forever, and I had always loved the Frye Paige Riding boots, so after searching forever (and trying not to get another pair of Frye's since I already own 3 pairs), I realized that Frye's were my favorite for a very good reason and that the Paige boots would be the way to go. These boots are AMAZING. I have very thin calves so I was slightly worried since some reviewers were commenting on how the boots were great for big calves, but since the leather is very structured and sturdy, it doesn't make the ... slouch at all. It is so hard to find black boots that do not look like combat boots or hooker boots, but these fit the bill. Plus, I love the lack of hardware with leather detailing instead, so that they are not entirely plain but still do not clash with any metals.

LOVE
I just wrote a not so great review about the Veronica Slouch Frye's, so I wanted to write a raving review about the Paige Tall Riding. I got these boots from Piperlime last year in December. I wear them religiously in the fall and winter, and they have held up beautifully. The leather is still as soft and buttery as it was when I pulled them out of the box a year ago. They fit comfortably over jeans, but don't stick out too much when you wear them with a sweater dress or leggings. My only two complaints: 1.) They have developed some creasing at the ankle (lazy ... syndrome). I store them in the box they came in on their side, so maybe they would have done better if I stored them upright with a ... tree. 2.) I ordered these in the tan color, and the pull on tabs and the tops and insides of the boots have absorbed some of the dye from wearing them over denim. Nothing too noticeable, but it's definitely there. Other than that they are great boots. I would highly recommend them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I have been looking for a new pair of black riding boots for quite some time now. It seems that every pair I tried on looked like fireman boots and were way too clunky and definitely not feminine! I'm glad I held out for the right pair because these are beautiful! Great quality, and the perfect height for me. (I'm 5'7", so I don't like when boots only come up to mid calf on me that are supposed to be just below the knee.) Well worth the price!

Love love love these boots! My only issues are I slip in them sometimes as there are no grips on the bottom but what can you expect from riding boots. Also, before I broke them in it was almost impossible to get them off myself but breaking them in remedied that! Beautiful, well made ...

The Perfect Riding ...
These are the most perfect riding boots ever. The leather is beyond top quality. Looks great in the picture, andeven better in person. Very stylish, and VERY comfortable, I can fit my skinny jeans into them, and I have thin to athletic legs. I wear these non stop and they still look great. I am am always a 9 1/2, so I took a risk (since others reviewed as small) and bought the 9 1/2. Glad I did, they fit perfectly, even a little room for thicker socks in the really cold weather. I don't recommend wearing these out in wet weather, they are more of a fashion riding ... rather than an all weather riding ... These were worth every single penny and I hope they make them forever!!

Frye Paige Tall Riding
Love my new Frye Paige Tall Riding boots. They were hard to get on and off at first, but the more I wear them the easier it gets. These particular boots do not have the wax shine that the Frye Paige boots have on Frye's company site. I will have these boots forever. A great investment.

They''re worth it
Like a lot of people who have bought these boots, I was hesitant to shell out the extra money for them, but I've also been looking for the perfect brown flat boots for multiple seasons now, with nothing that struck me, until now. I got them in Cognac, size 9, which is what I generally wear for most shoes. They fit well -- don't size down. You'll regret it. I thought I might consider putting insoles in them, but it feels too tight when I do that. I also didn't run into the issue of having trouble pulling them on or off, like many others seemed to. As for the look and feel -- the leather looks rich, substantial and 'not cheap'. You can tell these boots are the real deal and will last forever. The shaft height is perfect, ending right below my knee (I am 5'8"). I admit, they are a tiny bit stiffer than I'm used to with boots out of the box, but I imagine a lot of it has to do with the fact that they're riding boots with thicker leather than average. I assume that will improve over time, as they've been breaking in gradually over the last couple weeks I've had them. The only reason I didn't give these 5 stars, vs. 4 is that my pinky toes get a little irritated after a day of wearing them. Not sure what that is about. Other than that, I love these and find them pretty stylish and comfortable. I don't regret the expense one bit.

Didn''t Work
I have wanted Frye boots for a very long time, and I love the riding boots styles the best. I am about 5'0 and these boots were 1 -2 inches too tall for me :( I personally did not like that they were touching the bottom of my knee cap; however, I will say that I have seen pics of other women wearing them (or a similar style) to where they came up that far on them, and I did not think they looked bad at all. I am still giving them 4 stars because if they had not been too tall for me, I think they would have been pretty close to perfect.

Get the Melissa boots if you''re short and have narrow calves!
I had my heart set on the Paige riding boots. However, I had to return them...I'm 5'2" and they overwhelmed by short legs. My calves are also narrow and the large shaft opening looked weird. I hated to do it, but I returned them. Enter the Melissa riding boots! They fit me so much better and look great on. I love the look of the Paige boots but the Melissa boots just work better given my size/frame.

dark brown 7.5 perfect fit!
I am not a big spender on shoes, however I knew I wanted dark brown riding boots that fit perfectly and will last. Most riding boots have an awkward folding in the ankle area. Well, needless to say I purchased the Dark Brown boots and they are perfect! They fit perfectly and look smooth with no folds. Getting in them is easy but taking them off is a bit hard but I've only had them for a day now. These go with everything. I am 5'3" and 108 pounds, I don't have little calves (regular sized). These boots are about 4 inches below my knees which are perfect. One thing is that the bottom is a bit slippery but you can fix that easily with stickers. Get them, they are worth it.

worth the splurge
This is my 3rd pair of Fryes (I have the Carson riding boots and 8" Engineers). The workmanship is consistently good, the leather feels and smells great, and the fit is superb. I usually wear 7.5, sometimes 8. My Carson boots are a 7.5, and they have stretched out considerably, to the point where i need to wear thicker socks. I ordered the Melissa Button boots in 7. They were tight around the toes for the first few days, but they have started to loosen up a bit. I know they're only going to get better. Love these boots!

Perfect ...
There are a lot of boots on the market with bells and whistles, but this is the perfect basic riding ... pair with EVERYTHING. I've only had them for a few weeks and each time I have worn them, someone comes up to me to ask who makes them. You really can't go wrong with a Frye ...

Best riding ... ever!
The Melissa Button ... my favorite riding ... ever. Yes, they are pricey but these boots are an investment piece. Frye boots will last a lifetime. I have owned a pair in black for two years now and just recently got the cognac. I am excited every fall when I can get these boots out of my closet. I live in Texas, so weather permitting I can't wear these year round. I would highly recommend these boots. I normally wear a 10 in Frye shoes but these run a half size small so I wear a 9.5. You won't regret purchasing these boots. They are totally worth the money!

love them!
They are so beautiful and perfect. The leather takes a few wears to break in to where it's comfortable, but they are so worth it. The height is perfect if you tend to have problems with the regular height boots. Most riding boots generally come a little too high, hitting the bottom of my knee, but these are perfect.

Love them- worth the price!
If you are reading this, it means you are seriously debating ordering these boots. I want to tell you, DO IT! You won't regret it. I ordered the Melissa button ... black hoping for a nice, timeless yet hip black ... winter. I wanted something that wasn't too matronly and buttoned up, that I could wear with skinny jeans, leggings, and short dresses. Maybe a bare leg if the weather was nice. :) I also ride horses and don't want to spend the money for riding boots so these will be great for that too- and there is nothing like a little horse poo to make your boots look even more lived in and loved! :) I have always loved the style of the Frye campus but it is a little too biker chic for my everyday need or wearing to work. So I ordered Melissa and I wasn't disappointed! These boots arrived and it was obvious they were a great quality product. Very thick, supple leather, heavy yet flexible and I just know they will wear wonderfully once they are broken in! And the smell! Oh, heavenly! I keep getting whiffs of it and I just smile. :) As for sizing, I am usually a 7 but as most reviewers suggested, I bought a 6.5 and immediately one went on easily. The other one was a little tighter and I had to use the plastic bag trick (I think one of my feet is larger than the other- it wasn't a flaw with the ... They were comfortable right off the bat and didn't rub or squeeze too much with a thin sock and jeans on. I should mention that I have an impossibly high instep and the first night I got them, I wore a thicker sock with my skinny jeans and I could feel the tightness in my instep, but today I wore tights and they were great all day. I am a petite 5'2', 115 with thin calves and the tops of the boots are nicely snug so if you have any concerns about your calf width, try the extended calf. Usually high boots like these are baggy on me but these fit well at the top, although by the ankle there is ample room. I love these and can't wait to wear them for years to come!!!!!!!

Sleek, flattering, and beautiful
Truly lives up to the Frye brand name with a modern riding style. I love how these fit and the leather is of course gorgeous, buttery soft, and of superior quality. The leature is strong but not stiff: the boots stand up on their own when not on your foot, but the ankle breaks in nicely. i would say the shaft height goes down about a half inch once broken in. They are a more sleek/streamlined style than a cowboy ... so with my muscular legs, they are very snug with skinny jeans. I do love them with leggings and tights. It look all my self control to not wear these outside when I received them and instead bring them into a shoe repair shop for weatherproofing. I'm so glad I did: while there the store owner showed me another pair of Frye's he was workong on, 25 years old and still in near perfect condition. Take care of your boots!

Great boots
I had been looking for an equestrian style riding ... but saw these & thought I'd give them a try. I like the western flair wiithout looking overly "cowboy". LOVE the color cognac. I wore them yesterday for the first time and received several compliments. I will eventually own more Frye boots. They were comfortable for a first time wear, and cannot wait until they are really broken in!

Just lovely, but Fryes run huge. (Long review because I think such a high price warrants knowing details of what you''re buying!)
I wish I could give these a 4.5 - the appearance is nearly perfect, but all Frye boots have fit/sizing quirks that sort of get on my nerves. If they were cheaper, this would be excusable, but for the price, those quirks warrant a 4. If you're reading the reviews, you probably want to know about those negative or unexpected aspects before spending over $300, so I'll mention those first (but that doesn't mean that the positive doesn't outweigh the negative or that I would change much about these boots). I'm still keeping them, and it was still worth it [...]. NOT SO-GOOD: 1. The soles seem relatively durable (some Frye boots have thinner soles than I like), which is nice, but lots of Fryes have pretty smooth bottoms, so be careful with them on slippery surfaces when they're new - the traction will be questionable until you scuff up the soles yourself a bit. 2. Like with all Frye boots I've tried on, it was tough to get my foot to fit through the ankle of the ... but the pull tabs help a ton. (Getting them off is even harder, but it's worth it. I think that aspect of the fit prevents you from interrupting this really smooth leather silhouette with zippers or gores while making for a good, stable fit once they are on.) 3. Along the same lines, I have pretty average calves - not tiny, but I rarely have trouble with any boots not fitting over them - and I never need a wide shaft ... but these come close to being too tight (just barely enough space to cram jeans in with no room left over), so if your calves are bigger, you may not like these. 4. Most important to know: the sizing. I wear an 8 in almost every flat or heel, an 8-8.5 in most boots (sometimes need extra sock room) and 8.5-9 in running shoes. The 8 in Fryes leaves at least an inch between my big toe and the end of the shoe (even with moderately thick socks). I have a 7.5 in these and it's still quite roomy in the toe box - I could go smaller if I had narrow feet and skinny calves, but if I went down more with my foot shape the midfoot would be super tight. I'm sticking with the 7.5 and there will be nice room for socks and toe wiggling... and maybe insoles because arch support in Fryes isn't great (but then again my extreme over pronation makes me picky). (They might add some of this extra toe room intentionally - I think I'm used to less since modern shoes, especially nice women's shoes, tend to love the narrow toe box, which is what we're all used to, but in the end it's better for your feet if your toes can spread naturally and aren't crammed up against anything.) Now for the really GOOD aspects: 1. Like all the Frye boots I've seen, these have beautiful leather. It looks like you could never wear it out. I have the Fawn color, and I love it. I didn't want a high polish appearance; I wanted a soft looking (but not super distressed) brown, medium dark, and that's exactly what I got. It's not a very warm brown - there's an underlying dark greyish hue - but I like that because the color is really neutral while still being attractive on its own. Perfect and will match about anything. 2. The simple silhouette is really nice (if you, like me, are not a huge fan of cowboyish or overly rugged-and chunky silhouettes). 3. Short girls like me, take note: I'm not quite-5'4" and not leggy (~30 inch inseam), and there are many beautiful knee high Frye ... styles that I can't wear at all because the shaft comes all the way to the middle of my knee. However these hit just where they should! Yay! (Also good for short girls who want knee high Fryes - the Shirley Riding ... [not the over knee Shirley, but the knee high one with two buckles] which has a top that is made so that it can be cuffed down to a reasonable height. (If you're tall/leggy, know that the Melissa boots will probably not come all the way up to right below your knee.) [...]

Great ...
I've wanted a pair of fryes for awhile. I first purchased the paige riding ... but did not like the fit, made my calves look wider than normal. I returned and got the Melissa Button in fawn. Great ... color is neutral so can be worn with anything. They're also very comfortable and the craftsmanship is awesome.Would recommend.

No Regrets!
These boots are AWESOME! I contemplated for days about buying them because they were so expensive. I have never paid that much for a pair of boots but they were worth every cent and I am soooo proud of them. They were exactly what I was looking for and after shopping around I kept coming back to these. I took the other reviews into consideration and ordered a half size larger than usual and was glad I did because they were a little narrow but fit perfect going with a half size larger. They are beautiful. I wear them with everything....dresses, skirts, jeans, riding pants, etc. and really wish that I could afford to buy them in brown too. I am very satisfied and have no regrets. I highly recommend buying these boots to anyone who may be thinking about buying a pair. They ROCK!

Perfect riding ... Wish I Could Give 100 Stars!!
These ... so perfect that I now own 2 pair. The height is just right (I'm 5'7") and the ... hits just at the bottom of my knee. The leather? Soft, exceptional - really just lovely. I have had total strangers stop me on the street to comment about the ... couldn't be more pleased.

show stopper
the very first day i wore my boots out i was stopped twice by other shoppers. they both said "beautiful riding boots, are they Frye?" we talked in length about how awesome they are and worth everry penny. the leather and quality of craftmanship is incredible, the fit and feel...to die for. Really girls, take your time, do your research like i did, betcha come back to these and don't regret the $ for one moment. "Because I'm worth it!!"Have i said bury me in these? :)

Dorado riding ...
Great looking ... well made(one of the few Frye ... made in Spain instead of Brazil or other countries).This ... me a bit too tall in the shaft. I am 5'4" and the ... came up a little over the knee which I could have lived with had the calf not been so wide(I have thin calves).I was sorry to have to return them as they were exactly what I had been looking for.

Frye Dorado Riding ...
I searched for gray boots for two years, and tried many on during this time. I always found myself coming back to look at the Dorado Riding boots. I could never justify purchasing them because of the price; I finally decided to try them. I was lucky and have several coupons and discounts that I could use that made the price more tolerable to the checkbook. I had to send the first pair back because they had a huge scuff on one. The first pair were a little snug in the foot bed, I was so disappointed because the boots are gorgeous in person. Piperlime was great, I returned the first pair and received the second pair (scuff free!) When I tried them on, the foot bed felt better. I finally had the chance to wear these boots, they are well worth the price. They are so comfortable, look classy and I have received several compliments on them already. This is my first Frye purchase, but they definitely live up to what I have heard about them!

Highly Recommended
I purchased the brown Frye Dorando Riding boots over the holidays and they are very nice. I went with a half size up, which I would not recommend, because there is plenty of room in these boots. The color is great against the leather and you can wear them with a dress or a pair of jeans. I would highly recommend purchasing the Dorando!

Love the look but squeezed my foot
It's a classic riding ... exactly what I was looking for. The quality of the ... appears to be exceptional. I am tall (5'11") with long legs and the hight of the shaft was perfect. I noticed the foot was tight, especially in the toe and I do not have wide feet. Then after about a minute I noticed tingling in my foot! So sad but they had to go back. I looked at the other Frye riding boots online and they all appear to have the same narrow toe.

Great Boots
I absolutely love these boots! I have been searching for a pair of riding boots for almost a year, and I kept returning back to these. I've never spent so much money on a pair of boots, but the craftmanship and look made them worth every penny. I'm 6'1, and all legs, so finding a ... doesn't stop mid calf is difficult. They are a little loose around the calf which leaves enough room for jeans. These are almost knee high (an inch or two short), which is the best I've found. The only thing I wasn't expecting was that they are a little "floppier" than they look in the picture. It isn't a deal breaker, the leather is just much softer than I thought it would be.

frye dorado riding
great ... very comfy. BUT they are not for the skinny calves out there. way too much room when worn alone. they work well with jeans though.

Gorgeous boots just SOO uncomfortable
I loved these boots. I was stalking these boots for weeks, but being so expensive I never had the nerve to buy them. I finally decided, after weeks of looking at them online, that "I'm worth it" and bought them. I ended up ordering the black ones in a 9.5 and the dark brown ones in a 9. I am a true size 9, but after reading all the reviews I wasn't sure which would fit better. The black ones arrived first. The 9.5 was too long but because of that it fit the width of my foot. But with that being said they were still way too long and my heel slipped a lot because they were just too big. Also the black looked too much like a motorcycle ... going more for an equestrian look. I returned them and waited for the other pair. When the brown ones arrived I was so excited. The look was PERFECT. The style of this ... beautiful and just what I was looking for in a riding ... Unfortunately, the fit is wear it lacks. It is SO NARROW that it squeezed my foot so much it was throbbing. I thought I could stretch them out, but after DAYS of walking around the house it wasn't much better. They are just too expensive to hope that they stretch out, I had to return them. Even though I loved them and wanted them to work in the worst way, they had to go back. They were just too uncomfortable. I'll miss you Dorado boots.

Are these flip flops or boots?
These boots are so cute, the brown leather was exactly what I was looking for, the big problem was the heel, it just flopped around, major heel slip. Wearing flip flops is fine for flip flops, but not for boots. Instead of the back of the ... going in a bit at the heel area to keep ... flopping, these came straight down from the shaft giving nothing to keep the foot in place. Also, I am 5'10 and slim, but big boned, meaning my calves are not fat, but are bigger then the average women's, and even with straight leg jeans tucked in they were huge, and flopping around. So sad, these are adorable ... if they could adjust the fit I would've bought one in every color.
