    I have owned these boots for ten years. I have worn them in the Colorado River and in the snow in Michigan. I have been in thick clay and climbed the mountains in them. have worn with shorts; skirts; and tights. Worn them in all seasons. Sexy as all hell. People come up to me in airports and ask about these boots. I got them in less than 24 hours from Zappos. I have never worn them with socks. I love these boots. I am 58 years old. I will treasure these all my life.

    Love the boots! A real pain in the A$$ to get on and off. I'm hoping that gets easier as the boots get "worn in". Great once they are on.

    I have been obsessed with these boots for years and finally took the plunge and purchased them. I absolutely love them but I think it's important to note that these boots are made to last a lifetime and as such, they are thick, heavy, and take a long time to break in. However, they are a fabulous addition to any wardrobe and I get a ton of compliments on them every time I wear them. And I plan on wearing them for years to come!

    I've been looking for an everyday casual "go-to" boot for 2 years, and since I narrowed it down to Fryes for their classic timelessness, I must have overlooked these boots countless times online. Instead chose the Veronica Slouch boot, which I returned. As soon as I tried on the Harness 12R it was love at first sight! I got the tan...a perfectly indistinct color somehow between brown, olive, grey and camel, that goes well with jeans and just about anything else. I got the matte surface leather, a softer, more subtle and muted color/texture than the vintage leather. You should know...they are a bit stiff, will require breaking in. Somewhat narrow and hard...if you have a wide foot you might have trouble. And they run large. I usually wear a 9M but returned them for an 8 1/2M, which fits perfectly. So glad my boot shopping days are over. I love these boots!

    These boots are smoking hot! I have long wanted these boots and finally took the plunge. They are well worth the price and I wish I had gotten them sooner! They look good with a skirt or with skinny jeans. The quality of the workmanship is excellent! They were comfortable right out of the box, too! Zappos has the very best service, no one else compares to them. Love, love these boots!

    About Frye

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Frye are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    The Frye Company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a shoemaker from England. Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers for both sides of America’s Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-America war, and for Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Many New England families during the mid and late 1800’s wore Frye boots as they pioneered across the country to the West.

    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've been coveting these boots for four years and finally took the plunge. Fantastic! Skirts, jeans, sun, snow - sexy yet functional. I wear an 8.5-9, and ordered the 8.5. Fits great, a little roomy but I have orthotics so they are perfect. I have worn White s boots for work for 10 years and these are every bit as comfortable.

    I love these boots and when I found them on sale I went crazy and bought the charcoal and the worn brown crazy horse color. I am 53 and took the advice of the 58 year old...I'm going to wear them everywhere and enjoy 'em! I have always loved Frye and know the boots will last forever. I always wear my boots without socks, like a hockey player goes sockless in their skates to mold the leather to their feet.

    These boots are quite an investment but they are so worth it. They are well-made and work with any look. The sizes do run a bit big and they take a bit of wearing-in before they're comfortable, but I'm very happy with my purchase.

    Finally! The boots I've been looking for. They look fantastic, are sturdy, and surprisingly warm. Start without socks until you wear them in...or maybe you'll never wear socks with them. Note: they bleed color on your legs and feet a bit.

    I have owned these boots in Camel color, for almost 10 years. I bought them when I lived in Portland, Or where it rains all winter long. They are built to last! I wondered when I would ever break them in, as it did take a while. I live in Atlanta now and wear them year round. They're so cute with tights and sweater dresses! Love them with my skinny jeans, and long sundresses in the summer. People still compliment me on these boots as they will never go out of style!

    These boots are great. They look great with jeans, leggings and dresses. They are super comfortable and the more I wear them the better they are! Frye boots are the best boots I have owned. I purchased these and another pair thinking that I would only keep one, but I ended up keeping both because they are so great. They quality is amazing! The toes are a bit narrow so if you are between sizes I would order up.

    Like many others, I had these on my wishlist for years! I finally took the plunge in 2008 with the financial assistance of my mom for my birthday! I got the Crazy Horse in my usual size of 7½ and they were perfect! The color is great and distressed and so the little dings and scratches I have contributed through the years have only added character! I have high arches and these are quite comfortable. My husband still has to help me pull them off, but it is worth it! I do not wear them very regularly though, so more frequent wearers may break them in more effectively. I am definitely more of a casual dresser, and I love how these boots add a relaxed-yet-sexy vibe to skirts and dresses. Of course they go perfectly with jeans, too. I can tell they will last forever. Now my wishlist is full of various other Frye styles (Paige riding, Melissa button, etc)! And Zappos was amazing, because I ordered several styles at once, including cavalry, heath side zip, and traditional campus, but the harness 12R was the pair for me and returning all the others was super easy!

    I absolutely love these boots. This is my first pair of Fryes and wow are they awesome. You can really tell that they are well made and built to last. I did order half a size down and they fit great. You can rock these all day without having to pay for it later. They are so comfortable. I have yet to wear these boots without getting many compliments me on them! Zappos sent them to me so quickly. I love you Zappos!

    These boots are fabulous! Order a 1/2 size down or you'll just be exchanging them later. The tan is even more beautiful in person. I'd recommend buying the Frye weatherproof spray and treating them before wearing. Also, some people said that they were concerned about the heel slipping. All cowboy boots should have some heel slippage, and if they don't, then they're too small. The slippage gives your foot room when you walk, and with time, the leather will soften and slippage will be less. So if your heel slips a little as you walk, it doesn't mean it's too big. It means it's just right.

    These are the most beautiful boots I have ever seen. Period. They are incredibly well made, make your legs look fantastic and can be dressed up with skirts or stand up to a day of riding. They are perfect. They will last a lifetime. I had a problem with a squeaky boot - no problem - Zappos had me a new pair the very next day. I am between 9.5 and 10 and the 10's fit me just right. My foot is a little bit wide (C width in some cases) so someone with a very narrow foot might have a problem with fit. The second pair actually fit better than the first, so there is some variation. I'm also on the shorter side and the 12R was a flattering length for me. Support is good, you might want a light foam insole if you do a lot of standing or walking. The leather might need a little breaking in but overall it's well conditioned and soft. I'm in love.
