    This is my second style of Frye boots and I like the color, zipper, and the fact that they are a little lighter than my other pair making it more suitable for warmer days. Great quality.

    from Western Canada

    Great look, comfortable, but poor build. I bought the dark brown waxy suede version of the Heath Outside Zip boots after having the black leather Harness boots for only a week! Frye Harness boots have been around for years and are pretty much proven, style, comfort, and quality, just check the reviews here and at other sites. The Heath Outsize Zips are new and as yet have more or less mixed reviews. They are much more expensive than the Harness boots, so while I've had the Heath Outside Zips for less than a day, I'll provide an initial review of them in comparison with the Harness boots. The Look: The look right out of the box is great; it's the style of a harness boot without the harness and with a 1/2 inch shorter heel, so a somewhat more dressy boot. Plus, the various waxy suede finishes which are very well done, soften the tough looking squared toe. And let's not forget about the zipper which steps the look up a notch, although for guys wearing these few people will have a chance to see the zipper (I don't plan on tucking my pants in anytime soon). All in all a very nicely balanced look. From what I've seen there is really nothing else out there to compare these with a really great look. The Comfort: The boots are noticeably more comfortable than the leather Harness boots, at least upon initial wearing. This is likely due to the shorter heel and the soft suede. Note, the Heath Outsize Zip (and Inside Zip model for that matter) fits true to size, not a half size lower like Frye Harness and other boots. The true size seems a little loose in the heel but that is apparently not uncommon with new boots (although not so much for my Harness boots). I have a gel insert that has improved the fit and arch support, which is minimal (similar to Harness boots). I wear gel arch supports in my Harness boots and the Heath Outside Zips are no different in requiring extra support. The Build: Here's where I have to knock marks off the Heath Outside Zip. I will start by saying that my leather Frye Harness boot quality is absolutely outstanding from choice of materials to workmanship and is impressive. The Heath Outside Zips; the quality is comparatively lower. The choice of manufacturing the suede versions of the Heath Outside (and Inside) Zip with thin suede may have been a corporate decision, but the lack of quality control on the stitching, cutting, and finishing of the suede are the responsibility of the factory. And it is obviously substandard. There are puckers here where the leather pieces are joined and this was not just with the boots I ended up buying. I outwardly rejected another pair because the suede where the toe meets the leather sole was puckered and deformed. In addition, on at least two pairs of these boots (each from different stores in different provinces), the heel was not attached 100% to the sole with a bit of daylight visible in the inside corners, particularly when flexing the sole. True, this is a leather stacked heel, unlike the Harness boots, but my wife's US made Campus boots have a similar heel which is firmly attached. Although not related to poor quality, I wish that Frye would have added the wonderful Vibram sole to the front half of Outside Zip boot as they had done with the shorter Inside Zip boot. Anyone not wanting to slip on metal grates, painted surfaces, or a little snow and ice will need a cobbler to apply an aftermarket rubber sole. It will greatly extend the life of the sole as well. However, it's another $30 or $40 that one will have to spend. The Verdict: Time will tell how well my suede Frye Heath Outside boots will hold up, particularly in comparison with my leather Harness boots. However, as mentioned, the look is absolutely outstanding and the comfort is very good. I would recommend these boots with the caveat that they are overpriced for what you get, but that you won't likely find anything comparable at any price.

    These boots are so awesome! Well worth the price! Fit like glove and already feel broken in only after a few weeks! I will say I did put leather conditioner on them and it kind of discolored (darkened) the scuff marks, but grabbed a coarse finger nail file and scuffed them back up even more than the way they were. Needless to say they look even cooler now! Love my boots - got 'em on now!

    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.

    Excellent boot! They have a rugged broken in look that is very cool. The fit is great and only required a bit of breaking in. Add a pair of "gels" and they're perfect!

    Very good quality boot. The finish is interesting. I like the look the boots have developed after a bit of wear much better than the look out of the box. Comfortable compared to other boots I have worn, may run a bit big.

    Nice all around boot - This is a pretty nice boot, and it should be, considering the price. I'd been looking for a good square-toed boot for some time, and these are exactly what I wanted. The only downside is the relatively skinny shaft. At 14" around, it's somewhat small for my legs, and it bunches up a bit around the ankles. Overall, though, this is definitely not a deal breaker and I hope to have these boots for many years. Top shelf build, materials, and timeless style.

    These are great boots and fit me perfectly right out of the box - I ordered a full size down. My only disappointment is that they are not leather lined, which I was expecting for the price.

    These are awesome boots, they are comfortable, and they look great. I get a lot of compliments on these, but the shaft is huge. It's really big around, and you can see the entire top of the boots through jeans, no matter how bootcut they are. That's my only complaint. I don't think anyone has calves big enough to fit the shaft of these boots

    Frye boots - My last pair of Frye boots was in the 1970's. I wore them until they were worn out. The leather was thicker and the boot a little stiffer than the pair I just purchased. Although these feel comfortable right now only time will tell on the durability. I ordered them on a Friday and received them on Monday evening...can't ask for anything better than that.

    I bought these because I was looking for a zippered boot in a neutral color, and this one had great reviews. Color is darling; however, they were nearly impossible to put on, even with the zip. I had to push and push to get my foot into the footbed, and when I finally did, there was about 1.5" gaping at the top. They are also very heavy and clunky, so if you already have big feet, these will not do you any favors. Going back.
