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.

I so wanted these to work. They are gorgeous boots! I purchased the Gaucho color, size 7.5. (that is my consistent shoe size in boots and sneakers). The left boot fit fine, didn't have trouble getting into it at all. The right boot required the plastic bag trick, and once I got it on it was just not comfortable. I think if I had stuck it out and worn them consistently they would have stretched and been fine. I just don't have the time. The other reason these went back was there was what appeared to be a slice in the boot between the leather and the sole on the heel of the right boot.These are just too pricey to have any imperfections in them. So back they went.

These boots are exactly what I wanted. They are so cute with everything. I've worn them with skinny jeans, leggings, skirts, dresses and I plan to wear them with some cut-off shorts this summer! (Hello trashy!) They are very well-made and take some breaking in but are well worth it. I was worried about my atheletic calves but they fit fine. They are fine for browsing the mall or riding my sportster. I've worn them almost everyday since they arrived! Best boots ever! The only thing that I would like to change is the height of the shaft. I am 5'7 and they come up to about 3 inches below my knee. I wish that Frye made a 17R but they don't. I really wanted them to come all the way up to my knee. Other than that, they are perfect.

You cannot go wrong with the Frye Engineer 15R! Or with ordering through Zappos. Free shipping both ways makes trying these wonderful boots a no brainer. Like other customers, I have to agree that at first they are difficult to get on. However that goes away with time and wear. These boots run true to size. I wear them all the time with tall socks and skirts - and always get compliments. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day and they are as comfortable as the day is long! If you are going to something a little edgy or industrial then these are what you want. I only wear Frye boots.

I was surprised by some of the sizing reviews on this product. For me it was consistent with all other Frye products I own. I am a narrow 7.5 in flat shoes and a 7 in high heels (4"+) and always buy a 7 in Frye (harness boots, heels, etc.). This boot was no exception. If sizing is in question, order your *normal* size in Frye. This boot is very attractive and comfortable straight out of the box. Even though I have very muscular, athletic calves, they fit over a lightweight, narrow leg jean. At 5’2”, they hit me 1-2" below the bottom of my knee cap. The brown color is very attractive - casual, but rich and prone to developing a very nice patina, rather than looking scratched. One note: Purchase a long-handled boot/shoehorn if you don’t have one already. These are tight to put on over the instep, especially when brand new (not a problem once they are on, just a potential problem while pulling them onto your leg). A shoehorn helps immensely.

Wow...these boots are everything that I hoped they would be! The leather is thick, dreamy and supple and the color (I purchased them in Gaucho) is so rich and beautiful. They fit true to size and are comfortable right out of the box. I didn't have any problems putting them on like some other reviewers, but I do have quite small, narrow feet. I know that Frye sizes can vary somewhat, but if this helps I own the Frye Harness 12r boots in a size 5.5 (they run approximately 1/2 size small) and I bought these in a size 6 (my normal size) and they fit perfectly. The shaft height on these boots is perfect too- just around 3-4 inches below my knees (I'm 5'8). The width of the shaft is wide enough to accommodate skinny jeans but they also look great with a skirt. Overall, the quality is EXCEPTIONAL- I highly recommend these!
I'd also recommend: Corso Como
