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! Great leather and super comfortable. Plus it's a color that goes with everything. I also bought these in grey. I may be addicted to Frye boots. (I always go a 1/2 size down with Frye.)

Frye boots are always a great fit. This is my first pair of Carsons but I own Jane and Deborah from Frye. I got these in the dark brown which is very dark but pretty. They work well with jeans and a leather jacket, not too butch but with some attitude. I like Frye because they use leather for their soles instead of man made materials so when I walk, I feel like I have a decent boot on and not slippers. They are easy to pull off and on being leather lined. My foot tends toward wide but these are perfectly comfortable.

The Carson Tab Shortie are killer looking boots! They are made from gorgeous leather, very rich and typical great Frye quality. The fit is very nice; they do run half a size large, just like my other seven pairs of Fryes! I purchased these to go with skinny jeans, and leggings. When I put them on, I loved how they looked; a bit wide at the opening, which gives them that uber cool casually hip look. But, the one and only minor drawback in my opinion is that the inside of the boot (which is a natural colored light tan leather) really is noticeable when they are on. It is a contrast that could have been avoided had they made the inside black as well!

I love these boots. They are by far the most expensive shoes I've ever purchased. I got them because I live in NYC and walk everywhere, and I was tired of buying pricey boots that would wear out after 1 season of wear. So far, the splurge has been well worth it. These shoes are incredibly comfortable. I normally wear a 6.5 and went down to a 6 and they fit perfectly after a day of wear (were a little snug at first). I love how they look with dresses or jeans.

These are great little boots. The fit is perfect. They look a little worn right from the start but is part of the charm. I have never spent this much on a pair of boots and probably never will again but every gal should have at least one pair of Fryes! One more thing - they are a little slick on the bottom.
