    They're Frye's, what more is there to say? I went through my teen years suffering from Frye envy. I didn't have the money for them then and all the girls had them. I waited 25 years to finally get some. I am a feminine type. All my other boots are high heeled and dressier. I used to weigh almost 300 pounds and used to envy the thin women that would look good in these. Now I weigh 130 and I look good in them. The quality is superb and though they won't be my everyday boots, they look very nice with skinny jeans and they have that unique look that only Frye boots have. I've worn them once so far and was very comfortable in them. I guess I finally grew up at 47 and am ready to try things that I never thought were "my style".

    I love these boots! These boots were perfectly comfortable from the moment I tried them on. My only observation was that the right foot was a bit tighter than the left, but they've stretched with wear to be even. No blisters, no slippage - great boots!

    Brands I'd also recommend: I love Keens and Asics...

    Perfect boots - These are amazing boots. I bought them in my usual size, 8.5, not sure if they'd be wide enough -- in the past Fryes have felt a little snug. Not these! Maybe it's the leather, which is very soft and flexible, or the last -- I don't know, but they felt perfect from the second I put them on. They then spent four days stomping through airports, restaurants, campuses, and not one iota of discomfort. Plus the shorter length is really versatile: works with everything. The brown is rich and dark. The heel is high enough, but not too high. Perfect boots.

    Love these! These are the perfect "everyday" boot. They aren't too tall for normal sized socks. You can just pull them on and go. Look fabulous under jeans. They are comfortable and look hot!

    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 am a motorcyclist and was looking for a short boot that was a bit different than the usual Engineers boot. I have found that this boot fits the bill. I like the heavy oil tanned leather upper and the oil resistant sole. These Frye boots are nice enough to wear around town. It didn't take much to break them in. They are a nice fit for my high arch and high instep. I received great service through Zappos. I look forward to doing more business with them.

    These are perfect. They do run big. I am normally an 8, and I ordered a 7.5. They fit perfect. Love them. They are perfect with jeans. I tried to get a cheaper brand, and returned them for these. I got them 1 day after ordering them. The quality is worth the price.

    Outstanding boots! I decided to "splurge" and buy these boots for my own Christmas present and I am so glad I did! They are extremely well crafted and very stylish. I have a feeling they will last me for some time. I had to break them in, but it only took a bit of walking before they started to feel "right". I couldn't say enough good things about them. I get lots of compliments when I wear them as well.

    I love these shorter harness boots, I have the 15" also. They are wide enough for my very wide feet; I ordered my regular size. If you don't have wide feet, I can see why you would order size down. I also loved the brown color. Good quality worth the price. The year I getting another pair, 12" black or plum.

    Dear Zappos, I found dealing with your company to be very satisfactory. I will keep a close watch on there inventory when I need an item.These boots are very heavy for someone with a bad back. I will have a very hard time wearing them, but I love the style. Thanks and goodbye.

    I bought these in July and by October they were coming apart. I had only worn them half a dozen times. When I contacted Frye they said they\'d fix them but I would have to pay for shipping. I guess they don\'t make boots like they used to!

    I went with the advice of others and got a half size smaller. Is it just me, or have Fryes gotten bigger? I had to stretch 'em a little to get them on, but once I did this they were perfect. The color "blazer brown" is not depicted accurately online. It's more of what Frye would call a chestnut brown, in reality (a reddish warm toned brown). I was a little disappointed about the color, but I still love them!

    I was looking for a motorcycle style boot and found this. I had good memories of Frye's boot quality from my college days, and this boot did not disappoint. It is very well constructed of quality leather and surprisingly comfortable.

    Wow. I must have gargantuan feet or something. I wear an 8.5 and can wear normal to wide width. I ordered the Harness 8R in my size, bracing myself from the seemingly inevitable "these boots run big" heartache, based on what I read in the comments. Imagine the ensuing heartache when the boots came. I couldn't even get my foot into these boots. Had to return them. Contemplating trying them in a 9, but I am worried they might stretch too much. Anyone out there with a similar experience?
