Love them! This is my first pair of Frye boots. So far I find them true to size; I wear an 8.5 in everything but Nike tennis shoes which is a 9. They are a little bit difficult to get on at the ankle strap, but just they do not hurt now that they are on my feet. I hope that will loosen up over time. Finally, they are comfortable enough to wear running down the block after my puppy! Zappos customer service is great! I ordered online, and then decided I wanted my boots ASAP. My call was answered promptly, and they got my boots here in just a little less than 48 hours. Kudos!

I love this boot! Super heavy duty, but light. Perfect for me and my bike, as the extra sole/heel height let me stand flat footed (I'm 5'5"). They look great, stompy looking yet classic beauty. The color is awesome too! The leather is soft and there really wasn't much of a break in period. Pretty close to true to size, straps help to reel you in if it's too big. My only gripe is that the stitching in the top rear is scratchy if you don't have socks to pull all the way up, only an issue if I don't tuck in. I'll buy another pair for sure!
Brands I'd also recommend: Fiorentini + Baker

I love these boots. Stylish and super comfortable. They've become my go to winter staple to wear with skits, skinny jeans, or leggings. The color is very versatile. The break in time was minimal - I wore the around the house for a couple of evenings before wearing them to work for thw first time. I didn't have any break in aches, pains or blisters. My only minor complaint is that I had to exchange the first pair of Fryes because the left boot seemed slightly smaller and more narrow than the right boot. Zappos customer serive was great and I've been 100% happy with the replacement pair.

The Frye Engineer boot was everything I expected; solid, well-crafted, great styling, and comfortable. Paired with the second-to-none service received at Zappos, I can't wait until my next purchase!

I own many pairs of Frye boots and shoes. These boots, however, are my favorite. These boots are more comfortable than the harness and campus boots; the buckle adds a great touch, and they look stellar with jeans. I ordered my true size and the boots fit well. Be sure to wear long boot socks with these, as the sewn-in tag is uncomfortable due to rubbing.

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.

Great buy. Durable, just make sure to get leather protector (it costs like $10). Also get a size or half size smaller than what you normally wear as the boots stretch after a few weeks to fit your foot, so it's better to have a more snug fit than to be tripping over yourself. Definitely worth the money, I'm very happy with them.

For the Urban Professional, an upscale boot. My brother turned me on to the Frye brand and I have to say that wearing these boots makes my day feel great. I have a very pronounced heel-toe stride so I get the distinctive clud-click pattern going. Heel block is sculpted. Breaks this shoe out from the multitudes of cowboy boots that are rampant in the southwest. Great for keeping feet warm in the winter. Only problem is finding socks that will stay up enough (or loop over the top of the boot so you don't get a way of sock at the ankle joint). The hardware at the top of the boot is questionable, since some people wear their pants outside the boots.

These look and feel amazing. It's true that you should wear boot socks to prevent rubbing. Also, the first pair I ordered were a bit large even after ordering half a size down just in case, and Zappos got me new ones that fit perfectly within the week!

I hemmed and hawed about the price of these boots for almost a year before I broke down and bought a pair. Fit and comfort were great right out of the box, and the more I wear them the more comfortable they get. Break in is very easy. I'll never go back to cheap shoes again. Frye won a customer for life.

This is my 3rd pair of Frye boots in the last 2 years. They are all great, however; these are the best. If I had to live with one pair of shoes it would be these. I actually have to think about not wearing them. They are really hard to get on the first couple of times as the top is kind of narrow. After that they are awesome. I wear them with everything.
