Timberland Women's Lexiss Street Boot -- 'These boots were made for walkin'

Based on other's reviews of this boot I was leery of buying without being able to try them on. What may help others interested in this boot is the following: I am 5'10" and am very athletic (full contact sparring in Tae Kwon Do; other sports). I have 17" calves wide feet high instep and a flexible/flat arch. I have had foot surgery (bunionectomy) so I am very careful about the types of shoes I wear.



I have never ever been able to find a boot that fit my claves. This boot FITS!! The top of the shaft falls about 1.5" below my knee. I wear tights with them and had to work at getting the right boot zipped up the first few wears but they are fabulous leather and have relaxed a bit (I can even wear sock liners with my tights for extra warmth).



Because I am curvy and athletic I don't know that I'll ever be able to tuck my jeans into the boots but I really don't care. They are comfortable warm have survived a pretty rugged midwest winter with lots of snow/ice/arctic cold blasts. I wear them with skirts (short or long) dress pants & jeans fall/winter capri-type pants. If I could sleep in them I would. If I had a million dollars I'd buy a pair in every available color. I've searched for a boot like this for at least 3 decades -- These babies totally ROCK! They may not be the classic shiny leather rider's boot but I certainly feel a little Nancy Sinatra coming on :)More detail ...

Perfect Fit!

I purchased this pair of boots in the light tan color to replace an old worn out pair of similar boots I'd had for several years. I was looking for another pair of casual leather mid-calf boots in this color and had not found anything I liked for the past 2 years. Many of the styles I found in stores were too high to wear under jeans and I wanted the option to wear them under or over jeans. I was afraid I would never find another pair until I found these online. I prefer to buy shoes in a store where I can try them on but I went ahead and ordered these and am very pleased with them so far. They're very similar to my old pair (which had side zippers) but they feel like I've worn them for years. I wore them today when I took my dog for a walk and they're very comfortable! They are also true to size. I'm considering ordering a second pair just so I'll have them when this pair eventually wears out. I would highly recommend this purchase for anyone looking for a mid-calf casual leather boot. More detail ...

Great Boots!

These boots are adorable! They match almost everything I own and are extremely comfortable. They are a little narrow (but true to size in length) and sometimes I have a hard time getting my pants tucked into them. I wouldn't recommend them if you are worried about them being too tight on the leg. I have them in grey and I constantly get compliments on them.More detail ...

Finally "get" Frye

Wow I've tried several styles of Frye and never got why people raved about there comfort and classic styling until I tried the Carson riding. My foot is slightly wide and these fit great. they were a tad snug not tight at first but I compare them to a belt made of great leather stretches after a couple of wears. The leather by the way is so awesome. The opening stays put on my calveI'm a runner so i have muscular legs. If you have skinny calves these may slouch. i ordered them in emerald and fell so in love I now have the carson pull on in black and shortie in tan they're that good. these boots run large though I am a solid 7 but took a 6 1/2. You will fall in love with these Fryes.More detail ...

Excellent boots - but they run large.

I love these boots they are warm comfortable and still look great after trudging through a snowdrift or slushy street. The only reason they are not 5 stars is that the fit seems to run large. I wear a 6.5 - 7 normally and wear a 6 in this boot even with thick socks. I would suggest sizing down when you purchase a pair.More detail ...

price great boots not so much

I was so excited to find frye boots at such a great price. However I was a bit disappointing when they finally arrived. The calves run very small. I could barely get them on with skinny jeans. Also I ordered them in black and the piping is much more gold looking in person. Finally even though I tried on another pair on frye boots and was a 7.5 these seemed to run a little big. Small in the calve bunched up at the ankle and big in the feet. Unfortunately I will have to return them. More detail ...

Great Looking Boot -- So-So Quality

I absolutely HAD to have these boots when I saw them on Zappos. Got them from amazon cause they were cheaper and they arrived yesterday. They were just as hot in person as I imagined UNTIL I closely examined them. You can see the glue in places where the sole meets the shoe on one of the boots the area cut out around the zipper is jagged and messy the top flap on one boot is slightly off in color and there are minor color imperfections on each boot. To an average person just looking at the boot they look perfectly fine and those above things arent noticeable. But to a person who just paid $150 for a pair of boots -- they are noticeable. Unfortunately or fortunately for Amazon I want these boots bad enough to accept the defects and not return them since there's no guarantee the replacement pair will be any better. BUT I wanted the rest of the buying public to be warned. I went to Macy's looking for these same boots yesterday and found them (not in my size) and compared the quality of those boots to the ones I got -- WAY BETTER QUALITY. So I think that whomever manufactured these boots didn't do as great of a job as they would have if the boots were going to Macys. BE WARNED.More detail ...

The REAL Aussie Uggs!!!

To those saying these are a cheap substitute for real Australian uggs DO YOUR RESEARCH! These are one of the ONLY ugg boots available on the US market that are made with 100% Australian sheepskin unlike others that claim to be Australian (even including it in their brand name) but are really an American owned company who get their boots made in China and don't use 100% Australian wool products the only use a small percentage and substitute the rest with inferior blends.

These boots are not meant to be washed and the will be very snug when you first put them on as the wool takes a few days to mold around our foot. If you are planning on wearing these outside you should waterproof them. Ugg boots were originally designed to be like a slipper you wont get many self-respecting Australians wearing them outside unless they don't care what they look like the name "Ugg" comes from UGLY!

As an Australian these are the only ugg boots I would buy outside of Australia and I wouldn't be caught dead in those inferior substitutes that call themselves Australian but cost twice the price.More detail ...

Oh. My. God. Mine at Last.

The Frye Harness Mid-Calf 12R in Tan? Well what can I say? I am one satisfied woman thank you very much. And for someone who's never had a shoe fetish--I've had the same pair of shoes for a decade--I'm beginning to grow an obsessive love affair with Frye products.



First understand that this is the first time I've ever bought shoes on line and for [...] bucks (+ shipping)....? Really ouch. But my god. Heaven. Not only did they come super fast but exactly as the pictures showed. Plus I am the world's pickiest shoe buyer hence 10 year old shoes...



I'm barely 5'3 pretty short but I've got stocky legs and large calves. And while I fell in love with the boot style while abroad in Greece and enviously saw how the Greek women could pull it off so well I just couldn't find a pair that fit over my large calves (which is about 14-14.5" circum). After two years and I swear a million tries I decided what the hell go for the expensive Fryes. And I hate shelling out dough for shoes. Hate. It. But...



Once I saw these had to have. And boy nearly perfect. Feminine but tough looking solidly built and nice thick leather. I still can't get over it. They fit over my calves about mid-calf just as it's supposed to though just a little tighter than I would have liked. But after months of wearing there's now enough room so that there's no pinching. Considering most boots that go past the ankle not to mention my he-man calves was always a no-go for me well...I was more than pleased. And I've been told by others that they wear and stretch wondrously. The toe is a little more narrow than I'm used to and the heel a bit roomier. I have a wide foot so I got a half size larger. And surprisingly I walk just fine and not too much movement or shifting. They're incredibly sturdy on ice or even soft areas even stiff and unworn I felt awesome. The leather is supple well crafted AND made in the good ol' US of A so I felt really patriotic flashing these around. N.B. These days everything seems to be outsourced to a different country some Fryes (especially the tall boots that go past low calf)are made in Mexico so the sizes can be tricky.



Also I've always had a wide foot so that's why the toe is a little more narrow than I'm used to but while others said the size was a bit larger for them for my wide feet perfect. The narrowness will break in your feet--what I mean is that if you have a wide foot that bone that makes up your pinky toe will get a little sore after repetitive wear. If you wear them sporadically and not daily or often this will persist so get your feet used to them and walk around in them for awhile. Afterwords it'll feel like your those shoes were made for your feet!



Someone mentioned the weight yes a bit heavy but easy to get used to if you wear them on a regular basis Once you break in the shoes and your shoes your feet it's smooth sailing and it doesn't take long. Either way didn't deter me in the slightest. Also thick socks will help fill the space if you have a wide foot like I do and you are forced to get a half size up but get breathable socks your feet will stay plenty toasty. This is paramount for the warmer weather get socks that have breathable construction or light weight specially made for warm/hot weather.



If you check their site these boots aren't listed and the nearest ones to them were nearly [...] bucks alone. When I went to the only store out of god knows how many (and I tried a few on and that's how I knew the calves would be wide enough) the ones that were similar to these were also priced around [...] bucks. And knock offs why bother get the real deal. When I compared the two at the store the difference is so obvious it's obscene. Even I who buy cheap cheap shoes was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. That's what really bowled me over seeing them feeling them and weighing them in my hands. Real shoes people. Real. Shoes.



And I wasn't aware of it but several of my aunts and uncles have only worn Frye boots and absolutely swear by them. They last forever when taken care of and even if you're a bit lazy still last. You just can't go wrong. One my uncles has had a pair for almost 20 years and the leather is nice and soft with a nice worn look from over the years and molded perfectly for his feet and legs.



Care - Remember if you're wearing them all the time and on hard surfaces the heel and soles will wear quickly. So have a good shoe repair place in mind otherwise the boots will be ruined--forever. To soften up the leather clean it and to protect it use saddle soap once a month.If the calf circum is too tight you go to your local shoe repair shop and ask them to stretch them out. You can do it yourself but I wouldn't risk it not unless you know what you're doing.



All in all. A new obsession has bloomed and it's called F-R-Y-E. And I'm already thinking of buying another pair...More detail ...

The Perfect Style-Meets-Comfort Boots

The Ugg Bailey Button is definitely a must-have. You really get what you pay for with these bad boys - quality style and the UTMOST comfort are out of the question. Delivery came on-time and the item came in perfect condition. Very very happy with this purchase! :)



Note: You might want to go a half-size smaller when getting these boots.More detail ...

The only Emu boot style you should buy!

I love these- the quality of these boots are superb. I have a few pairs of Uggs and Emus- they are all my favorite (depending on the day) but I absolutely love these boots. I have them in black and didn't find the dye transfer on my feet an issue.

I am a size 8.5 and find the 8 fitting just right. There is a bit of arch and heel support that Ugg Classics lack.

If choosing between these and the Emu Bronte Hi forget the Brontes and buy these instead. You definitely pay for the quality and it is worth it! I buy my 4 year old the Brontes and splurge on the good ones for myself!

Very comfy practical sexy and chic! I love my boots!More detail ...

Absolutely Amazing

I fell in love with my Uggs the moment I slipped them onto my feet for the very first time. They are wonderfully comfortable & very warm. No your feet won't sweat in warm weather I promise. Most comfortable fit shoe of my life. I wear them at least 6 days a week! **Be sure to order a size down from your normal shoe size. I'm normally a 6 but I bought a 5.** Wear these withOUT socks and they feel like heaven. Wearing them with socks is bulky & well they weren't meant for sock wearing. Cave in & buy them it'll be the best $139 you've ever spent!!! Stuck on what color to get? Black turns your feet black. The dark tan is hard to match things with. The sand is perfect for everything!! Put them under your pants or over.. they go perfect with any day's outfit or weather :)More detail ...

Like wearing slippers in public--but better!



I bought these shoes in a light pink in the summer and I haven't taken them off since. They are versitile comfortable warm and ideal for walking long distances and shopping.



Just before buying them I'd been wearing strappy sandles and heals for 10-14 hours/day. After showing up for a peddicure with scabs and scars all over my poor feet my nail lady told me to try some Uggs. So I did. My feet have healed they are well insulated and stay moisturized because of the thick lining.



The uggs are so comfortable infact that they have inspired me to walk to work--1.5miles each way. How many shoes can you say that about? There is no break-in period and they feel like you are wearing nice slippers in public.



I don't worry about walking on ice in them because there isn't a heel to twist an ankle on and there is plenty of traction. Better than docs for the bad weather actually because the soles don't freeze and they keep your feet PLENTY warm.



There are only three drawbacks: the suede--I didn't treat it quick enough and now the water marks show from walking in the snow; and the casualness of them. As soon as I find uggs in something that works with a suit I'm set for life! In the meantime I wear them to walk to work change shoes in my office and then switch back into them if I know I'm not going to meetings for a while. The third is the height while I like the shorter boot for under jeans it isn't something that would look OK with anything else and certainly looks goofy by itself.



These shoes are in my main closet with the rest of the shoes I will never part with--my docs and birks. They belong in that elite shoe category of classic comfortable and well made. I can't wait to get another pair.
