Wow, I don't usually write a review for the shoes I buy, but I just had to for these. These are the most amazing boots I have ever purchased! I was deciding between these and 4 other styles of Fryes and once they all arrived in the mail (a day later - I love you, Zappos), these won hands down. Yes, they are pricey, but so worth it. The leather is amazing, the detailing rocks - these boots are such high quality, you won't believe it. The calf circumference is slightly smaller than you might be used to, but will be perfect for those of you out there who find most knee boots to be overwhelming on your leg. Buy them - you won't be disappointed!

Love them! I just ordered them yesterday and I'm rockin' em today. The craftsmanship is superb. For a wedge they are very comfortable and easy to walk in. They look better on than in the picture. Definitely a must have! I'm usually a 7 and ordered a 6 1/2 and it fits like a glove.

Quality of these boots are excellent! Yes, they're pricy, but I'm hoping they'll last me for years to come. The sole is comfy and these boots run true to size, my only beef is that I wish these boots had a side zipper. Also, since I'm planning to tuck jeans into these boots and I'm an average sized girl, I dare not gain any weight because the boot shaft is a little snug! Overall, awesome boots.

Love these boots! Not the most comfortable if you're not used to wearing this heel. At the end of the day, my feet are sore, but that does not stop me from putting them on in the morning. They look great and go with everything.

Love Quality and Comfort - These boots are extremely well-made, of exquisite quality, and feel great. They are pricey but worth it as they are a definite notch above most of the boots I have seen out there, and worth the cost. They seem a little tight at first but break in within the first hour and get very comfortable. They look hot!!

I love these boots, they are beautiful! The leather is awesome but the heel/sole was not so sturdy. The sole started to fall apart the first time I wore them. I felt they fit true to size and are pretty comfortable considering the high wedge. They make your legs look awesome and I have gotten tons of compliments!

I've been salivating over these Frye Caroline Campus boots - My husband surprised me with this purchase. My heart skipped a beat! Anyway - the design is cool, the heel is just the right height, leather is high quality, the stitching looks good, construction is solid. However, I can't get my foot in the bed of the boot. They are pull ons and I couldn't get my heel in at all. I suspect I would need a whole size larger. Bummer! I will send these back; I may try a bigger size, but I may try a side zip pair. Thanks to Zappos!

Wear out easily. I love the look and feel of these boots, but the quality isn't at all what I expected from Frye. Be warned: the rubber heel is so thin that it wore down to the plastic support the first time I wore the boots. That, in turn, ruined the leather on the heel. So expensive and they didn't even make it through the first day. I'm pretty bummed.

Love this shoe, I got both colors. I have a narrow foot and the extra padding made them fit like they were custom made for me...and I might add that I am 67 years old and can walk in them all day. Love the lighter color.

Have been looking for a dressy black heel to wear at work and high enough to look interesting but not so high as to be uncomfortable. These shoes look great and the platform and thick padding in the forefoot make them very wearable. Like wearing a tennis shoe in terms of padding. They have a slight rocking forward motion, as you can see from the way the toe curves up. Toe box is wider than many; still scrunches the little toe a bit, but less than most heels and it might stretch. Exceptionally comfortable. My search is over.

I agree with other reviewers: the toe box of this shoe is tight in comparison to the rest of the shoe. I usually wear a size 5.5 in most shoes, I ordered a 5.5 and 6 based on other reviewers saying that a half size up from what they usually wear ended up fitting better. The toe box on the size 6 was perfect but the rest of the shoe was too big. The 5.5 fit well everywhere except the toe box, which was far too tight. There was a fair amount of toe cleavage with both pairs, which I don't care for. It's too bad neither size was right for me because I love the color and overall style, plus the padding inside is heavenly!

Beautiful sexy shoe; I ordered my regular size and a size up; both were too small in the toe box for me. Gorgeous and sexy shoes. Sadly they are on their way back.

These are the most comfortable high heels I have ever had on my feet. I am over sixty and had given up on heels. I had go so far as to give them away. I am back!

These shoes are well worth the money. They are every bit as comfortable as everyone says they are. And, they are obviously adorable.

These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. I haven't worn heels higher than 2" in about 10 years and these are the most comfortable shoes ever. They are so well padded, I feel like I'm "gelling" all day. They are even more cushioned than gel insoles. I ordered my regular size 9m, and they were too small. I went up a half size (9 1/2m) and they fit perfectly. I purchased the blush, and it is a very pretty color. However, the color is too light for my dark toned legs - so, I am waiting for the black. I wish they came in a taupe. Really great shoes.

OK, just got these shoes today and had to make a comment, they are the most comfortable heels I have ever owned, they are classic and will go with everything from jeans to dresses. I really feel like I’m walking on a cloud, I could wear them all night without getting sore feet, so excited to wear them out tonight.
