Ordered these in size 11/M, Nubuck. Fit is good and comfy. Soft foot bed, though some may opt to upgrade, I didn't. Love the color Nubuck, which resembles a grayish color. The soles are soft, yet stable, which should reduce shock on the feet. The sole actually reminds me of a Clark's Original, but I would prefer the Frye. Goes great with jeans or khaki's. I have a dark brown pair similar to this made my Chaps, ($37.00), but there is definitely a difference, Frye being the superior of the two, Cadillac and Yugo. The sole also has a neat little leather Frye patch stitched to the bottom, only cool for the owner because they know its there. Made in Mexico, no complaints there. If you're in to cowboy boots, then you can understand my confidence in Mexico producing a quality shoe, they make top shelf, (premium), quality cowboy boots, so a chukka should be no problem. This shoes has a worn appearance, darker toe and heel than rest of the shoe, which is cool. No complaints on this one.
Update: Telephoned the Frye Company on Friday, 5/25/2012 and spoke with their customer service about another shoe that I was having sizing problems with. Love the shoe, but sizing was terribly off, something not typical of Frye. Long story short, I made mention of Frye having shoes made in China under the pretense of American owned/quality and was informed that the company had be bought out by someone else. End result, out-sourcing to China will become the standard for future Frye shoes, but the prices will remain the same; high! Hhhmmm, more money for the new owner, quality reduction for the end users/purchaser of their products. Mexico is currently the chief producer of Frye products, which I can deal with, but like Chinese products, the only person who benefits are the business owners, less out of pocket expense, cheap labor, etc. Gotta be honest, like Frye products, but I also like their competitor's products, Timberland Boot Company and The Vintage Shoe Company.
If a company is gonna claim US quality since 1863, but out source, at what point does false advertisement come into play. There are a lot of other brands out there that are a lot less expensive and they at least have the audacity to admit that their products are out sourced. That I can deal with, but out right lying is another story when it comes to my dollars.

Great shoes, true to size and comfortable to wear with jeans or slacks. As a guy who is usually in a pair of Red Wings, these are great light duty casuals that can be worn anywhere.

Honest reviews on FRYE Men's Hudson Chukka Boot
I got these for my boyfriend and absolutely love them on him. They are a tad bit narrow for his foot but because they are real leather, they have been forming around his feet, making the boot much more comfortable. Very nicely constructed as always(love Frye boots myself).

I had this boot in the slate color, and it was so comfortable that I bought another pair in the dark brown. Frye boots are high quality, and break in quickly. This boot is no exception!
