Frye boot review, from a biker chick. I got these boots specifically to use when riding my motorcycle. For that purpose, they've been great. They're a good height, and my jeans don't ride above them. They provide a very solid footing, which was extremely important (I'm a new rider). And I love their classic style. I wore Frye boots 20-some years ago, and they've maintained their quality.

Gorgeous boot. These boots look great, and wear well with everything from jeans to skirts. I'm sure they're going to be one of my favorite pairs of boots. I've had them about two weeks, and they're still not fully broken in. The left boot is about perfect right now, but I'm still working on the right one. I also had to return my first order, in my usual size, to order the next half-size up.

Great Boot. Absolutely love this boot.. It looks great with almost anything you wear. It does run a little narrow and needs some breaking in.

Love These Boots! Just received my new Frye boots, and I fell in love with them as soon as I tried them on. They are true to size and very comfortable even before breaking them in, and they look great!

very cute Although I wish they were a little taller, this boot looks GREAT! Not too dressy, but more feminine looking than the picture. They are a little narrow, but they stretch out after wear (so don't order larger than your size). I found them to be true to size; I wish I hadn't ordered a half size larger than usual. They look great with jeans, very sexy.

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.

Square toe/tip should be slightly wider for better width fit - Was about one size larger than stated. If the toe was not so narrow, it would be 1 1/2 sizes larger. The narrowed toe made me get it larger than I needed to accomidate for all the empty space where it will never likely widen. I would have liked the toe slightly wider to have a more comfortable fit and size and avoid too much of a cowgirl illusion. Would have bought this style in a round toe in a heartbeat!!

Sweet Boots! These Frye boots look great with jeans. My foot is a tad wide and had to have them stretched a bit, wish they came in wide widths. Thanks again Zappos, you have a customer for life!

Excellent Boot - I have these boots in the taller, 12 inch version. They fit great, wear great, and look great. The name Frye equals great quality and the workmanship, and on this boot it shows through. Heavy duty leather that is smoothe and supple and takes the shape of your foot with only a short period of wear. If you happen to have a wide foot, this boot may be a tad tight on you, but for those of you who truly wear a medium width you will have no problem. If your into wearing a nice pair of faded jeans or even a nice long skirt, the taller version of this boot will look classic and perfect.

Like Butter! I have been jonesen for these boots for so long, now I have them! I have a big foot (size 11) and they make my feet look small. I also have a high instep. I have a little trouble getting them on with socks (I got the shorter version), but oh so worth the effort. They look fabulous with low slung, boot cut jeans. I am so glad it is getting colder so I can wear them, oh what the heck, I am going to wear them year round. They make my feet feel well protected and supported. You wont regret it, get them.

Best boots ever. No lie. Okay, so they took about a month to break in after exchanging the originally ordered size 6-1/2 for a size 7. But it was worth the work and then some! These boots have it all: attitude, an incredible look, and are insanely comfortable. I've had mine for over a year now, and they've taken all the abuse I dish out. I only wish I could order the taller version!

Work or Play Boots! I had been wanting to buy Frye harness boots for quite a while. I was afraid they'd be too tight because of the point like toe, but I decided to go for it. They felt so awesome from the first time I put them on! No having to break them in for me. I love them so much and I have had a lot of compliments, too.

Should not have waited. A little heavy, but gives great support. Runs a little big, so fits best with mid-weight socks. Got tons of compliments!

Oh my gosh! Very comfortable from the first time I wore them. I just hate wearing socks, so I actually wear them without socks, no problems at all. Extremely stylish, very cute with either skirts or jeans, toe is not too narrow. I have never owned western style boots before, so don't know how the heel is supposed to fit. The heel does slip on these, but the rest of the boot fits so well that it is very comfortable--although my heel moves as I walk, there is no rubbing or chafing. I have large calves that have trouble getting into boots-- although I have the 8 inch boots, I think even the 12 inch would fit over my calves comfortably. Definitely worth the money!

Too narrow - I don't have wide feet at all but these boots really pinch my toes together and slip badly in the heel. I hope Frye reads this and corrects it. Why do so many shoemakers now make " medium" width so narrow and not offer a wider width? If they didn't look so "High Plains Drifter" I would return them.

Frye Harness 8R W - I love these boots. They're great looking, and quite comfortable. The heel does slip a little, but I don't mind that. They were a little narrow when I first put them on, but after a couple of wearings, they felt fine. I bought mine in the size I normally wear, and now that they've loosened up a bit, I think I might have been better off with a half size smaller. No biggy, I'll just wear thicker socks. These boots are so pretty and my husband loves them on me.

A Classic - Wonderful classic look. Will only get more comfortable with wear. The lower height of the boot itself makes it so versatile. Highly recommend this boot.
