Can't beat this boot - The other square toed Fryes with rings looked to big on my small frame but these boots are somewhat daintier and "softer." I love them. They are comfortable without even a break-in period.

Beauties! These boots kick ass. Plain and simple. They look stellar with anything but a prom gown - and even that might look hot. They are a little narrow but you can bank on them stretching out because everyone who's anyone knows good leather conforms and stretches to fit. These bad boys will fit your foot perfectly after a short break in period. If you go a half size up you'll be better off in the beginning, but I got my regular size 7 and now, 2 weeks later, they fit like a glove - or "boot" ;) rather. They'll last forever. LOVE FRYE BOOTS! THEY ROCK -period.

About Frye
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.

Mary - Very wonderful boot. Has a good walking heel and does not burden my back or knees. Stylish and durable. I wear a 6.5 and took a 7 on these so I could wear thicker socks with them. Fits perfect.

Finally my perfect Fryes! I just got these boots an hour ago and I am wearing them under my desk at work! I have been wanting Frye boots for a couple of years, but could never really decide which ones to get. I decided to get some campus ones for this season, since boots are everywhere now I could not resist. I first picked the campus in saddle, because they seemed the most classic... so I ordered the Campus in blazer brown from another website (only because zappos was out of them). They are really cute, fit perfect (I ordered them a half size smaller) but the brown is kind of dark, and were not exactly what I had in mind. I was all ready to keep them, though, until I saw the harness ones in person on a friend. I am not really into the motorcycle look for myself, although it is cool, I loved the square toe and neutral brown color of the tan harness Fryers. Looking through Zappos, I realized that the cavalry boot is the same as the harness boot except w/ out the harness and they have a wooden stacked heel instead of the motorcycle black heel of the harness. So I ordered these, sent the campus back, and the rest is history! I plan on wearing them with skirts, jeans tucked in or over the top, I think they will be really cute with a flowered peasant skirt or a denim mini and a hip hugger belt. You can really tell these are quality boots, definitely worth the 200 bucks. My mom still has hers in wearable condition from the 70's, so I plan on wearing these classics for a long long time!
Brands I'd also recommend: cowboy boots, any other boots b/c this fall winter season is boot crazy!

Great quality! These boots look really nice, and I anticipate having them for years to come. They are a little difficult to get on and off, and seem a little long, but still narrow. I expect them to break in well, though. They are a nice, casual weekend boot. I wore them yesterday in incredibly foul weather and they held up great.

Awesome! I rarely give Five Stars across the board, but this boot rocks. I got these a few weeks ago, but I'm just wearing them now since the weather has gotten cooler. There has been no break-in period and they are extremely comfortable. I love how great they look, and I look forward to wearing these boots for years. I did go with my normal size, and those fit fine.

Classic boot - I love the look. The tan color is neutral and compliments the wood heel. I like the simple lines of this style and the square toe is very comfortable. I bought a half size down from my usual size and they fit great. Thanks for the very fast shipping!

Why did I wait so long? After decades of admiring them on other feet, I bought this pair of Frye boots for my own. That they look incredibly cool was not surprising, but they are also very comfortable. After two or three times out, they are about as comfortable as any other shoes I have. I look forward to decades of pleasure.

Color is off, but nice boots. The upper is leather, the rest are manmade materials. My old Fryes are all-leather lined to the toes, so I'm not pleased to see the cloth lining of the foot area and the poly-something insole. The heel is 1 3/4 inches (on a size 7 1/2), not 2" as described here. I'm pleased that they are made in the USA, and I'm willing to pay a lot for a well-made domestic boot, but for the price, these materials are disappointing. Color: Should be called "brown." They are decidedly brown-to-dark-brown in color, yet on my monitor they look golden tan.

Frye Boots=Love - Oh my, I am in love with these boots. They have changed my life. I am thinner when I wear them. I am more fabulous when I wear them. I am supremely happy when I wear them. And I can do absolutely anything in them. I should not have waited so long to buy them.

The boot that you can wear all day w/ comfort & compliments. I first saw this on a young lady who was wearing them with a dress and they looked cute and I had to ask where she got them. She expressed they were extremely comfortable, yet pricey! I shopped around for months on end to find them and they were hard to find since on backorder everywhere and that is when I knew I really wanted to hunt them down and purchase. I originally settled for Campus, another brand by Frye from a different supplier and wasn't too enthused with that purchase, but sent those back and bought these and absolutely love them. Everything, the fit, the color and the fact I can wear them with just about anything in my closet. If you cannot find it go to Zappos and it's there the majority of the time and was even more excited at how quickly I received them!

Oh! Wow: Hot gal in these... Oh man- these got here SUPER FAST! Thanks you guys. These boots are super fabulous. The color is not really as shown- its a shade darker (more brown), but I'm fine with it. They fit like a glove too- in my regular size. Peace out.

I have looked, for a good many years, for a pair of cold weather boots that would keep my feet warm. I can honestly say that I have found them. I read in some of the other reviews about how heavy these boots were. Having had 3 knee operations, I need a boot that is somewhat light weight, and find that these are perfect!!I have just gotten a new dog from the Humane Society, and as I get familiar with her "business" habits, I just slip these on, socks or bare feet and my feet do not get cold in snow or cold weather. Even after a half hour or more of letting her run and play. I recommend these boots to anyone that has to spend any time at all outside in the cold.

Difficult at first - If you have a high instep I recommend going up a whole size from your normal length size. The top is very snug if you actually have calf muscle. I’m taking mine to a cobbler to see if he can stretch the top out a little. I also recommend buying insoles. These can be uncomfortable if you're doing a lot of walking in them.
