Customer Reviews Frye Natalie Mid Engineer Lug

These boots are AMAZING. I felt guilty spending so much on a pair of boots but needed something to look professional while keeping my feet warm and that could deal with Boston winters. These boots do it all. I had compliments within five minutes of walking into the office wearing them.

I love these boots! I was looking for a moto boot and ordered several cheaper pairs from Zappos. However, despite their price (a couple were close to $200), they looked cheap to me or didn't have the full lug sole I was looking for. Then I ordered these. Yes, they are extremely expensive (I was given a generous gift card over the holidays which is how i could buy these), but the quality is incomparable; I know I will have them for years. Note that they do run small. I wear an 8 and had to get the 8.5 You will not regret spending money on these!

The Natalie Lug is a stunningly well-made boot. They were super tight the first time I put them on - you'll want a boot-horn - but the soles are well-cushioned and I can tell they would be my new best friends after a few wearings. The no-nonsense lug sole promises good traction in any road conditions, and I love the look. The leg opening is a little too wide for me so I will be exchanging them for a taller style that doesn't make my legs look too thin.

First, I love Zappos! I own about 6 pair of Frye boots. They are definitely made to last. I really didn't need another pair of boots, but I couldn't resist! I am glad that I ordered these. I have worn them for about a week now and they are comfortable. I have received several compliments. We are headed for Ireland next month and wanted a pair of waterproof boot. I love shearling lined boots, and these are no exception. I have a narrow foot, and while the boots are wider than what I would like, a heavy pair of socks takes care of that issue. One thing about Frye boots is that they are considerably heavier than many other brands, such as Uggs.

Really wanted these boots, but unfortunately my instep does not work with this style.

When I slipped into these beautiful boots I thought they were way too tight, especially on the right foot. Maybe it's me? I have narrow feet, so it was a surprise. The leg opening is also kind of big for my narrow calves but it's about the best I am going to find outside of a laceup. After walking around on carpet for a few minutes I could feel them starting to get more comfortable. However I am going to try them in another color, the charcoal I chose didn't work for me.

Warning: these don't fit like typical Fryes with or without shearling. I love Fryes, love shearling Fryes (have 2 other shearling prs, 4 plain leather) but these are the 1st that consistently punish my feet, heels esp. The heel cup is too short, and I'm comparing them to all my other Fryes. I have the same size in the short shearling Mara & no problem. Wish I could return these, but I've worn them hoping to break them in. They've broken my feet instead. Can't stand them.

These were a gift that I purchased for my wife for Christmas. She had some other Frye boots so I purchased the same size as those. The pair that she opened on Christmas were two visually and distinctively different sizes. They were both marked 8 1/2 M on the inside, but one was definitely at least a size smaller. Plus the extension on the exiting side of the buckle was a different length. This was simply a Frye screw up, not Zappos. (These are $400 boots, made in Mexico; I expected better!) So did Zappos. When I called Zappos customer service the following day, their representative could not be more helpful and accommodating. She processed a UPS return and emailed that to me; immediately sent me a new pair of boots with next day delivery and provided what I consider a very generous credit to our Zappos account. I could not have asked for more from Zappos and will continue to use them. As for Frye, they have some work to do. Personally, I would not have reordered Frye boots; but that was my wife's decision. They are very nice boots. If Frye is going to have the audacity to charge $400 for boots that are costing them maybe $20 to manufacturer and ship to market, they need to do a better job of quality control. Thank you for saving the day Zappos!
