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! Not only are the comfortable, true to size, but I am always getting compliments on them! Watch out for the height though, I am 5'7" and they are almost too tall. If my calves were 1/2" longer, they'd fit perfectly. Still love 'em though.

Too slouchy around the ankles! Bad move to buy these boots online. They are taller than I expected (low) and one of my toes gets sore at the top when I wear them. Sigh.

I would first like to mention the excellent and fast service from Zappos. I ordered these yesterday (9/5/11) on a holiday and got them today! I didn't expect that, but it sure was great. I didn't have a chance to really put these together with any outfits yet, but I can say that they are wonderful and they fit great. I don't have pencil thin calves, but unlike other reviews, there seems to be ample room in the calf. The leather is so soft -- Frye quality. So I would say if you are even thinking about these -- order them. If they don't work out; it's free to send them back, no loss to you. But odds are you won't. They are a classic style that will always be "in style". Love you guys at Zappos. Happy customer for several years now and will continue that trend.

Review of service. I ordered the tan Frye Dorado Low on Monday evening at 7:30pm. When I returned home from work today, on Tuesday at 5:30pm, the boots were here! Zappos, you are simply amazing! Review of boots: Frye, you are also just as amazing. The boots are just as pictured and as described. Although they are a little loose around the heel, I can correct that with an insert that I had already planned on using. I am 5'1, and the size 6 hits right to the base of my knee. That's exactly where I wanted them to go. Plus, there is a little slouch, which gives a more casual feel to the rough in tough look of the boot. The toes are rounded, as in a roper style boot. The boot shaft is very, very slender, fitting meant for tights, bare legs, or the skinniest jeans that is made. If this is what you are looking for, look no further.

These are such a classic beauty in black for that traditional riding look. Comfortable,and gorgeous with such an attractive trim calf that flatters the whole leg. I'm really impressed with these and the sale price is fantastic. I buy from Zappos over other discount stores and auctions because of their impeccable return policy. Never any anxiety of wondering if I can return and what will it cost to return?
