I absolutely love these boots! They did feel a little stiff but I adjusted the belts and within half a day of walking inside, they feel like I have had them for years! They feel and look like quality. I appreciate Zappos' great customer service and very speedy delivery!

Excellent boot. I wear these when I ride to work and need to look half-way presentable through the day. I am a little disappointed in the arch support, but I hope to find a insert that fits.

Beautiful and fit perfectly right out of the box. I run 10.5 and the Frye 10.5 size was true to my foot. These are comfortable right off the bat and need no breaking-in. These look like they could last forever, very sturdily constructed. My only problem is deciding whether to wear my jeans tucked in or out!

Excellent boot right out of the box. Virtually no break in time, and now wears like a second skin. Really sharp looking, and works great as a motorcycle boot (which is my application). Only detraction is it runs about a 1/2 size large, so I put in an insole with snugged it up. Bye a half size smaller. Zappos was great also and came in three days.

I ordered these for my husband's birthday, but dropped the ball and didn't place the order until the day before, so I had to get overnight shipping. When it didn't look like they would make it here on time (from the UPS site), I started a chat with an agent. So helpful! He went so far above and beyond that Zappos is now my go-to shopping destination. Anyway, the boots arrived on time, and my husband said they're the most comfortable pair he's ever had (and that includes the 10 other pairs in the closet). Yay Zappos and Frye!

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.

These boots are amazing. Literally no break in time needed. I put them on straight out of the box and haven't had a single blister. They are super comfortable and I wear them all the time. From the looks of the quality materials these are the last boots I'm going to need to for quite a while.

Once again Zappos amazing service. The boots were a little uncomfortable for about two days. Now they are great I wear them all the time. They do pull my socks down. You can dress up or down with them. Great boots great way to buy them.

These boots are the classic Frye Engineer boots.\r\n\r\nIf you have to read reviews on these boots, I suggest you go to Walmart of Penny\'s. Because, you should not be buying these classics. It\'s people like you the ruin the look for the rest of us.\r\n\r\n

I can’t say more about the Zappos customer service!! The best I ever dealt with! I ordered a pair of Frye boots but didn't like the sole. Called Zappos, no questions asked and they sent me a UPS return sticker to ship the boot back for free! I re-ordered this pair of Frye Engineer 12R which they shipped overnight for free. The Frye 12R fit me perfectly. Since this is the first time I ordered a pair of footwear on line, I was worried that it would not fit well or look good. With Zappos free delivery and free exchange, everything works great! The boot is well made and it fits well. Great for walking around or motorcycling (I have to wait till warmer weather...in a few months!) In all, it was a great experience and I highly recommend anyone to check out Zappos before they order from other websites!!! Thanks for the wonderful service.

Great boots. Like most quality boots, they take a little time to break in, but well worth it. Heavy duty, but cute enough to wear with a dress or skirt. They keep my feet surprisingly warm on cold days and totally dry like rain boots. I'm not sure what the deal is over at Zappos, but every time I order something, it gets sent to me at supersonic speed. I ordered these boots at 4 pm and they were at my office by 1 pm the next day on standard ground shipping! I think they upgraded me to overnight for free. Amazing.

These are beautiful boots. They fit well, and I'm still working on getting my foot out. I bought them, and wore them for two days straight. I received tons of compliments. I love them!

Great set of kicks - The inner sole is in fact nicely cushioned and the over-all fit seems true to the description. I was concerned the width wouldn't fit well being I have a wide (E) foot but it fit perfectly. One thing that disappointed me was the upper buckle strap stitching failed which left the strap dangling after less than one week. I didn't force or pull anything for that to happen. Must have been a manufacturing error. Really bummed me out!! I used some leather glue to glue it back in place which I'm sure won't hold if I ever pull on it. I doubt I ever will have to so I'll just live with it. Over-all I really love the boot and highly recommend it. I'm a home improvements renovations/restoration contractor and wear the boots every day at work.

My wife purchased these for me as a birthday gift. I normally wear a 9 - 9.5, the 9 fit great. Order your normal shoe size and you'll be happy.

My Last Pair Lasted Me TEN YEARS!!!! I bought these bad boys again because my last pair lasted for 10 years and are the most comfortable boots I own. The only reason I replaced them is my foot grew a half-size and I ended up needing to replace all my shoes. Otherwise, they were perfect and this new pair will be perfect for another 10!

Great boot - This is a very comfortable and durable boot. They tend to fit large (I usually wear a 13, so I ordered a 13 but they are way too big). I have had mine for a year and half and they show no signs of wearing down. Great for motorcycling - rode them to Sturgis and back and they survived the Wyoming heat and torrential rain.

Best Boot Ever! I bought a pair of these 8 years ago and just this last summer I had to have them resoled. The comfort, looks and durability is just great. If these ever break down on me, I definitely would not hesitate on buying another pair. They are great for dress, casual and motorcycle driving.
