Mind-blowing boot - These are REALLY good looking boots. I have been asked on many occasions where I got them and I tell them "The best and biggest shoe store in the world, Zappos!" They were really difficult to put on at first and uncomfortable when walking for long periods of time but THIS IS NORMAL. You want your boot to be tight so it will mold tightly to your foot. I wore them daily for a month and now they are the most comfortable footwear I have EVER owned. They now fit perfectly and are much easier to take on and off. Just make sure you clean them often & care for them well. Frye makes the best boots... period.

Great look and feel! I wear a size 17 in every other shoe I wear so it's not easy to find boots in my size. I bought the size 16 and to my surprise they were a little big on me. Other than that they look great and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

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.

From Ruth, in Denver, CO - I bought these as a holiday gift for my partner. He just LOVES them! He has worn them all over, everywhere we have gone, since he got them. He says they are totally comfortable and a real pleasure to wear. AND he is a Birkenstock man! I am just happy that we've had cold enough weather for boots. He says "thanks to Zappos!"
Brands I'd also recommend: Heck, get the Frye boots!

5 star review for Frye Harness 12R - Bought these for Christmas present... my son couldn't wait that long. Beautifully crafted, the gaucho colour was perfect for a university age student. My son said that he likes the style and the fit is perfect. Warm woolen socks are required to withstand the cold winter. We would buy these again!

Instantly a classic boot in my day to day activities - So, I decided to give this brand a shot due to the fact that the Carolina engineer boots I wear daily for motorcycling have reached a nice ripe age of over 13 years. Don't get me wrong the Carolinas still feel fantastic but I itched for something more. These have filled that desire very nicely. Pulling them on I am immediately taken by their great fit. They required just a few hours of wear on a warm day to feel just right. Also through the break-in period I noticed that they have an outstanding sole compound giving great traction and feel. No slip and slide in these boots. My toes are in contact with the forefoot area's upper leather but it is becoming less and less of an issue everyday. A great boot and good example of you get what you pay for.

My new Frye's - The look and color of the boot were better than expected. The size didn't really match my usual size worn. I hope with more wear and breaking in, the boots will become more comfortable.

Only Frye Boots - I recently purchased Frye's 12R harness in Brown Rage color and 12R Belted boots in Chestnut Brown and they are both good looking and comfortable. No break in required and the quality of the leather is excellent. Very soft! If you have a pair of boot cut jeans, then you have to get these Frye boots. In terms of service, Zappos provided an excellent performance in shipping these shoes. Always on time! More power to Zappos.

I got this shoe in the Gaucho color, and absolutely love it. It took some getting used to, since it's a very high boot with more of a heel than I'm used to, but it's very comfortable. Felt a bit narrower than most shoes initially, but loosened up after a day of wearing them around. Definitely love the look, and definitely recommend this shoe! Seems like great quality and that it will last forever!

Frye boots - These boots are great. This is my first pair of Frye boots but it definitely will not be the last. New boots are usually a little stiff but these are comfortable to wear right out of the box. The service from Zappos was also excellent.

Great find and great buy - I was so very pleased to find this boot because in 2005 I really wanted this boot but the price tag was $450.00 I was very disapppointed and decided that I really didn't need the boot. I was thrilled to find the same boot on your site and the price was perfect for my budget. Thank you so much for making my day.
Brands I'd also recommend: There are no shoes you wouldn't like. The selection is great!

Frye 12R Harness Gaucho - Its about Service, Service, Service and Zappos has got all 3. Not only do they honor the 110% guarantee but they will even beat it by offering better shipping alternatives to get the product to you faster than the competition. The Sales Staff have been trained to take initiatives that make good business sense when dealing with the customer; something that seems to have been overlooked in most businesses. As for the Frye boots, well they are well made, true to fit and comfortable to wear and have a great look.

What Boots Are Supposed to Be - Not my first pair of boots, but my first Fryes. These boots are so comfortable, well-made and sturdy that I don't anticipate needing to buy another pair for a long time. Excellent workmanship, the kind you don't see often these days. Highly recommended. (I think they look pretty cool, too.)

Outstanding! I had not owned a pair of non-lace up boots in quite a while. I ordered these in a wide as I have slightly wide feet and also flat feet. They were here in 2 business days! Quicker than expected, and I received emails updating me on my order status as well. These boots are extremely comfortable from day one, and are great looking on top of that. I will buy Fryes again, and I will get them from Zappos most definitely! I hope that the Calvary model becomes available in wide (PLEASE!!!!!). :) The Gaucho color is perfect.

Best boots ever - I have been wearing boots since I was a kid. I am now 38 and these are the best boots I have ever worn. I wish I had discovered them sooner. They felt comfortable from the second I put them on and they have become even more comfortable.
