Frye and Co.
Banana Miranda Bridle Topstitched Boots Women
The Frye & Co. Banana Miranda Bridle Topstitched Boots are women's knee-high western-style boots built with a faux-leather upper and lining, contrast decorative topstitching, an embossed logo, a faux-leather padded footbed, a textured rubber outsole, and a stacked faux-leather block heel measuring 5 cm (2"). The shaft opening measures 38 cm (15") on the size 9 sample, and inner pull tabs assist entry. Designed for everyday wear, the boots use synthetic faux leather rather than genuine leather, and the 15-inch opening circumference can fit tightly on fuller calves, so shoppers needing more room may require a wide-calf fit.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Banana Miranda Bridle Topstitched Boots Women: Choose this if you want a tall, knee-high Western-style boot with decorative topstitching in a warm banana-yellow color, and you're comfortable with a synthetic (faux) leather upper, lining, and padded footbed rather than real leather — a distinction one Reddit commenter flagged as important when considering Frye and Co. products, and a Miranda owner noted the boots are not real leather while still finding them cute. The design features inside pull tabs and loops for easy on, a soft cushioned foam insole, a rubber outsole, and a 2-inch (5-centimeter) stacked block heel with a 38-centimeter (15-inch) shaft opening, which the brand says offers all-day wearability. It comes in women's sizes 6 through 10 in the Banana colorway.[1,2,3,4,5,6] | Miranda 14 Tall Boots: Choose this if you want a tall, pull-on western-style boot with a rounded toe, contrast welt stitching, and a low 2 inch (5 cm) stacked heel, with a cushioned memory foam insole and textured rubber outsole for everyday wear. The shaft measures approximately 12.5 inches tall with a 14.5 inch circumference, and this listing offers the Banana color in sizes 6 and 10. Note that the upper is distressed faux (synthetic) leather rather than real leather — one Reddit commenter still found them cute despite this — and that Frye and Co. is a separate line from the more expensive Frye brand.[2,7,8,9,10,11] | Irlene Topstitched Cowboy Boots: Choose this if you want a tall cowboy boot with Western decorative stitching, a pointed toe, and a modest 1.5-inch stacked heel, offered in Off White or Caramel. The boots feature a faux-leather upper, cushioned faux-leather footbed, textured rubber outer sole, and a 15-inch shaft with a 15-inch calf circumference. Note that the Caramel color is listed only in sizes 6 and 7, while Off White is listed in sizes 6 through 10.[12,13,14,15,16,17] |

Reddit Insights
3 threads · r/womensfashion, r/BootsReddit users consider the main Frye brand a classic, durable investment, but repeatedly warn that Frye & Co (including the Miranda/banana boot) is a lower-quality, non-leather alternative that is cute but not the same as premium Frye.
Overall sentiment is mixed: positive about the main Frye brand and some positive fit feedback for the Miranda/banana boot, but negative and cautionary about Frye & Co being made of polyurethane/vegan leather and not a true Frye product.

Watch Out For
Compared To
vs Frye Company boots (main brand)
Frye & Co is a cheaper, non-leather alternative with a different logo; commenters recommend buying real Frye leather boots instead.
vs UGG / Steve Madden knockoffs
Frye & Co is likened to a lower-quality, knockoff-type product rather than premium leather footwear.

Frye & Co quality warning
Don’t buy Frye and Co though, those are like the shitty American version of UGG. Or like buying Steve Madden knockoffs of a designer shoe. Make sure you get the real leather.

Miranda boots are lower-tier, not real leather but cute
Yep, I got the Mirandas too, from DSW. It’s a different logo on the boot, so it’s definitely not the same as the more expensive Frye brand (their logo is a stylized “F”). Still cute though, even though they’re not real leather.
