    The quality and comfort of these boots are wonderful. They manage to look graceful and tough at the same time, too. Gorgeous under boot cut jeans, and great with skinny jeans tucked in. Nice for walking (unlike my classic Frye harness boots which look great, but are heavy and cumbersome). I love them!

    Love these boots! They are nice enough to wear in my business casual work environment and look cute with a skirt. My calves are not skinny and these boots don\'t cut into my calves at all, very comfortable on the leg. Sole is very solid, but with decent socks, I\'ve had no discomfort wearing them all day. True to size. I have four pair of Frye boots and this pair is the same quality and comfort I\'ve come to expect.

    I have to completely agree with the other reviews. These boots are wonderful! I put them on right out of the box (without socks) and they feel like I have worn them for years, no "breaking in" needed. I ordered a size 9 (I'm usually 9 or 9.5) and they fit perfect. I usually do not wear socks and I don't see that as a problem at all with these boots. I love them.

    Love these boots! They dress up or down and are feminine, rugged, and so comfy (wearing them as I write this). The leather is wonderfully textured and pebbly-looking. The harness details add to the "zing", and the touch of hardware give just enough spark. "5" stars all around for this smart, confident little boot! Thank you Zappos.

    About Frye

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Frye are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    The Frye Company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a shoemaker from England. Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers for both sides of America’s Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-America war, and for Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Many New England families during the mid and late 1800’s wore Frye boots as they pioneered across the country to the West.

    Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.

    In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.

    The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

    Love these boots! Took them out of the box and wore them all night with no rubbing or late night blisters. They are so cute and look adorable with jeans or dresses; I wear them all the time and have gotten a ton of compliments. As always, Zappos shipping was excellent!

    This is by far the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I went shopping for eight hours the first day I wore them and they were comfortable from the start. Love the distressed leather and they smell so good. Bought the brown. Also like the fact that the shaft is wide enough to tuck my pants in. The only downside is that they do not come in black. If they did I would buy those too. Seriously thinking about trying the grey since that is the closest thing to black they make. They are expensive, but my motto is always you get what you pay for. These are very well made and I am sure they will last a long, long time.

    from Casselberry, FL

    I agree with the other reviews; these boots are AWESOME!!! This is my first pair of Frye\'s, and I am in love! I am petite, but have very muscular calves and never thought I could wear this type of boot. These are very generously sized for thick-calved gals (even a little larger circumference than descibed). Sizing was a little tricky, though. I am usually a 7.5 or 8, so I tried both. The 8\'s slipped in the heel, and the 7.5\'s were snug at first (in the toe box). I kept the 7.5\'s, as I learned they stretched to a comfortable fit within just a few days of wearing them around the house. The quality of the leather is superb, so it is soft enough to break-in, yet strong enough to last a lifetime. . .well worth the money!. . .and of course, Zappos\' service is 2nd to none! :-)

    I love these boots. I bought them in amethyst and the color is beautiful. I own several pairs of Frye boots and these are one of my favorites. Although they are comfortable, they seem to run smaller than the other styles I have.

    My new favorites! I'm really happy with these boots. I normally don't wear boots with any kind of heel but these are very comfortable. I also like that the shaft is wide enough for tucking in jeans. These boots are expensive but to me the quality is worth the money. Love them with dresses and tights!

    These boots are just what I was looking for! I picked up these in the brown, love the color and style. The toe is just the right design, not pointy but not square. These look great with jeans. Very comfortable right out of the box and true to size for me. I always choose size 10 in shoes and 10 was again the right fit for me. And the quality of the leather is outstanding. Smells awesome like another reviewer stated! Would also like to see these in Black. Considering the grey! Thanks Zappos, excellent as always. Received the day after ordering!

    I just recieved the gray version of these and they are absolutely amazing. I put them on and I felt like a soundtrack started playing. They're extremely comfortable right out of the box, true to size, with that already broken-in look right away. I am in love.

    I love these boots! What surprised me the most is how comfortable they are out of the box. I ordered my usual size (8.5) and they fit perfectly. The amethyst is an unusual color that goes well with a lot of things (seems to work a bit like a brown). Durable, well made, comfortable. The heel makes them a little sexier and more feminine than the regular harness boot.

    These boots are great! True to size and fit beautifully. I love them. I just wish they had the Gray ones too. I also love Zappos and Zappos is the only on-line shoe company that I do business with because of their great customer service which includes the free shipping back if they don\'t fit and no questions asked.

    I received my Carmen Harness Short boots today. These will no doubt become my favorite pair of boots, as they feel very comfortable right out of the box. I'm planning a vacation to Tucson, Arizona in March, and these will be in my suit case! They are not only comfortable, but the Western flair is extra special with the slightly higher heel. I'm in love! Thanks for your high quality customer service; you keep me coming back!
