Bowery Chelsea Boot (Men)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well-made boot that is high-quality like past Frye boots that I have purchased. It does run big: I usually wear a size 10, and I purchased this as 9. 5 and it is still long on the foot. The width and arch fits well. There is enough room to insert a small comfort/gel insole. They pictures of the leather look like a lighter brown than in person, which I thought was a better look than the lighter tan.

I have a pair of Frye boots that I have had for years and I LOVE them! They are bomb proof, stood the test of time and then some. So, when it came time to grab a pair of Chelsea Boots I naturally wanted to stick with Frye. I received my first pair in the mail and they looked awesome but didn't fit. (I'm normally 9.5 and but needed a 8.5 with a hiking sock for these boots). So, sizing was off, no big deal. When I received the pair that fits, had them for 2 days and the pull tab ripped off. Another week and the elastic in the sides of the boots started to come undone. About a month in the trends on the bottom started to come off the finally this past weekend a heal feel off after owning these for about 6 months. SUPER annoying. The boots look super sharp and holding them the quality seems really well done, but after owning them for a bit they really feel apart quickly. I do not rock these every day as I have other boots and shoes as well and these are also not seeing a lot of abuse as they mostly go to the office. Never written a review of anything never mind a negative review. Sorry to put this out there but also wanted to give you all a heads up. Not what I expected and I am pretty bummed about how they turned out.
