Customer Reviews Frye Natalie Mid Engineer

These boots are great. I bought the black ones in a size 5 1/2. I typically wear a 5 to 51/2. They fit great. I put on a light nylon sock to help get them on. I'm wearing them a few hours at a time to break them in a bit. Love them!

Cute with jeans or s skirt! Most versatile boot yet!

First let me say I have had about 35 pairs of Frye boots over the past two decades and they are by far the best quality boot I have ever purchased. I am not afraid to shell out the money for a quality product. Frye NEVER disappoints me! I purchased these beauties because I wanted a more polished biker boot to wear to work. They have a more slim silhouette and sleeker appeal than the other styles. They DO however run a half size small. I like to wear mine with a medium thick sock. All in all these boots are beautiful and super comfortable right out of the box. They are definitely worth every penny!!!!

I bought a pair of "charcoal" colored boots on line 1.5 months ago. Visually, they are a beautiful, well made dress boot and can give them a 5. I already had an older pair of unlined higher veronica slouch boots in nubuck that had fit immediately without any need to break in and are very comfortable! That said, these new natalie mid engineers are leather lined and much, much stiffer and styled a bit narrower. I happen to have been in Boston when I bought the veronicas and was luckily able to try them on first. For me this is always the best way to buy shoes as my feet are not perfectly shaped (rt larger than left) ! The fit for the Natalies are not as good for me as the veronicas but I am working on trying to break them in so they eventually soften up a bit. Yes I have gotten a blister on my R outer ankle. I usually take a narrow size 7.5 and I ordered an 8 . I live in Ventura County CA and nearest store is in SF!! and will definitely try to try them on first "in store" before I buy my next pair.

I bought 2 weeks ago. Very soft and conformable when I wear them. The leather is good quality.

Worth every penny. Soft, fit perfectly. I've had both ankle and calf surgeries and these boots are comfy, no need to 'break in'. Love the color and mid-calf height. The adjustability at the ankle and calf are also excellent features.

Bought these a few months ago. Very comfy and cute. I've gotten lots of compliments on them! A little difficult to get on first. After time, they are much easier to get on.

I bought these boots two months ago and I love them! I bought a half size up based on other reviews and I'm glad I did. They fit perfectly and are so comfy to wear all day! They go with everything as well!

Very comfortable! I didn't get. Chance yet to treat these and got rained on and no spots. The height is that great in the middle between calf and to the knee.

It's not easy trying to be hip at age 62, but these boots sure do help. Great style and good detailed stitching for a more refined look than the Veronica Short. A bit difficult to get on at first but hoping this will get easier over time. They don't get any better than Frye!

I got these boots because I needed a casual black boot that didn't look too clunky. These are absolutely perfect. The leather is soft and pliable, yet not too delicate for some wear and tear. The fit is a bit tight across my foot, but I have a pretty wide foot, so this is to be expected. I've worn them twice and they are already feeling more comfortable. They are a little difficult to put on, but not that bad.

I bought these and loved them from the first minute I tried them on. I bought them a half size larger than I usually wear based on reviews, and that was spot on for size. Great quality and super soft leather. They are stylish too!

These boots are very comfortable and can be worn all day. I have worn them to work and for a day of shopping. They are difficult to get on and off but I have only worn them twice.

I love the boot but I'm a 9 and ordered a 9. It was too small even without socks. Waiting on my 9.5 replacement.

Great looking boot, nice leather, loved the look. Horrible design, with no zipper for ease of taking on and off. It took me so long to squeeze my foot into them, I couldn't imagine doing that every time, and I ordered a half size up. Normally take 6, ordered 6.5. If they were redesigned to have a zipper, I would reconsider.

Heels are too hard and won't break in. Worn several times and get blisters on heels.
