Frye Engineer 12R SKU: #7248742

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.

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.

I tried on Engineer and harness boots from a few different companies. Frye had the most comfortable fit for me. I wear these every day now.
