These boots are very cute but definately run big. I saw a review that said a size big and didn't believe it but they were right. Order a size smaller.

I initially ordered an 8.5 - that is my size. Well, they were way too big. So I immediately checked to see what smaller sizes were available. The next smallest size was a 7. Well, I thought, what the heck, I'll try it. They arrived today (I ordered them yesterday!) and they fit perfect. So I would definitely encourage you to order a smaller size then you normally wear. Now for the rest. These boots are a beautiful color. They seem very comfortable already. And I am sure I will wear them a lot this fall and winter. Zappos is a great company to purchase from. I have never had problem with any orders. I will continue to be a customer.

These boots are 100% leather including the soles. A beautiful boot handcrafted with the scent of high quality leather. The workmanship exceeds the value of the boot and would cost $250.00+ by any other western boot maker. They are chic and modern in the grey metallic and look great with cropped pants and skinny jeans. Just enough heel to make them sexy and feminine. Well worth the price! Dan Post is an excellent brand.

Based on the review I read, I ordered a 6 in this boot, when I normally wear either a 6.5 or 7. Good thing I did, since I can wear a fairly thick sock with them. The boots are cute and pretty comfortable, some arch support, and the rounded toe gives good wiggle room. The color is right on with my computer, and goes well with jeans, not too shiny, just a touch of coppery color. Since I've worn these several times, I could now put an insole in them which would make them more comfy , but I've been wearing sport socks with the thicker sole for padding. My feet are fairly wide, so I find these pretty comfy, if you have narrow feet, these are not for you.

This is an absolutely gorgeous boot that runs really big. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 and the 8 is way too big. Very sad. If there was a 7.5, it might work. Customer service is SUPERB!

This is a gorgeous boot, but it runs huge! My normal 8 was so big...sent for a 7 1/2 but I'm afraid it will also be too big. I hope by the time I find out the 7 size has not sold out. Should be posted that they are Wide and Long!

Love these boots. I ordered the metallic black and the metallic gold. Each has distressed markings that give the boots a patina obtained after wearing many times. I have a narrow foot and normally wear a size 9, but wear a 7 1/2 in Dan Post boots. I wear these boots with skinny jeans and sometimes skirts. They look perfect with both jeans and skirts.

Gorgeous boot! I don't know why people are saying they are hard to pull on, they have tabs inside for boot pulls that make it very easy to get them pulled on. They stand up if they fit snugly around the calf. These boots are good for people with smaller calves. Very comfortable.

I was so excited to get these boots and just like all my other Fryes, these were even better than their picture! The heel is just the right size for city walking, the leather is buttery soft. I have skinny calves and the boots look great on them, just right with jeans. I ordered the Sand color and was happily surprised that it's a bit darker than the photo. Will say, the boots are a devil to get on! I would recommend skinny legs and hose rather than socks. Once on, you won't want to take them off! Another gorgeous pair of Fryes, I wouldn't wear anything else!

A gorgeous well-made boot. This boot is loose around the ankle area and tends to increasingly slouch with movement. Very soft leather.

These boots are the most beautiful color. I had to put them on as soon as I got them. They leather is high quality, as you can expect from Frye, and they are so comfortable. They are going to go so well with spring dresses, and you can pretty much wear them year-round. Great purchase and the price was right on. And, Zappos shipped these to me in a DAY!

The Rory is practical boot - it looks great scrunched down or pulled up. The boots look great with dresses, skirts, and pants. They can be dressy or casual. I have skinny calves (14 inches around) and the Rory is one of few boots that don't look really wide on my legs (when the boots are pulled up). The Rory also has room for my toes and the ball of my foot. I first got the Rory Scrunch Boot in black, and then ordered in tan. The tan leather has more structure in it, while the black leather is very soft. Others have written that the boot is hard to get into and I agree - the black boot was hard to get on. However, the tan boots were no problem. I have tried on lots of Frye boots and shoes recently, and have found the Frye sizing to be consistent. I wear a size 9 to a size 10 generally. In all Frye boots and shoes, I am a 9.5.

I love these boots; they are the perfect color BUT are very hard to get on. I had to order a 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size just to get them on. Once on they are a little big for me, but I had to make sacrifices in order to keep them. My normal size 8.5 were great once on, but were virtually impossible to get on since there isn't a zipper. They are beautiful though.

I love these boots! I bought mine a year ago - at which time I was unsure if splurging on the price was worth it. After a year of wear, mine have held up beautifully and they are by far the most comfortable boots ever! The leather is buttery soft and the quality is extraordinary. Make sure to condition the leather periodically - if you don't, the leather won't look as beautiful and supple. My only complaint about these boots is that they are truly slouch boots - when you have them on, they do not look the way they do in the picture. Mine are so slouchy that they are almost short boots, which is not always the look I want with skirts. However, they stay "tall" if you wear them over jeans. Some reviewers complained that these are hard to get on - they're almost like putting a pair of stretch boots on, so you have to wiggle your foot and ankle around and know that they aren't slide-on boots. Be gentle with the leather and be patient when putting them on! It's helpful to hold the boot by the ankle part to work your foot into the base. Frye boots also tend to run large; however, I went with my usual size, so there is a little extra wiggle room in the foot. They are worth the price, the minor difficulty to get on, and the quality means that these will last for years to come!

The sand vintage leather color is darker than it appears in the picture. It is more of a light/medium brown color. Also, it runs big. I am normally a 7 and I need a 6 in this boot. Otherwise, very cute and comfortable.

I finally found the perfect boots! I have extremely skinny calves, and most boots look really stupid on my leg, as if I'm a little girl playing dress up. It bugs me that you can search (on Zappos and many other sites) for "wide calf" boots, but you cannot search for "thin calf" ones. Not fair. Anyway, these are ideal. The only trouble is getting them on the first time. If you have a high instep, it ain't easy. The light tan color is gorgeous. The do "scrunch" a little bit, but not a lot, so they look great on the leg with tights and a skirt. Also, get a half size smaller than your normal in Fryes, I find. I'm in heaven. At last.

I absolutely LOVE this boot...and would love to order it! But, unfortunately it is out of stock in my size. I recently ordered the Jane Stitch, and the calf circumference was huge. Had to return them. I have small calves and it makes it nearly impossible to find boots that fit properly. I wish Frye, and other companies, would make more boots with narrow calf measurements. Please! There are so many boots I love (especially Frye), but I just can't wear them because the calf is way too big. Please make more Rory boots!!!
