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.

This is a gorgeous boot but it is definitely grey, not black. It's very tall, size 11 would hit right underneath my kneecap, and I'm 6' tall. I have a high instep and can't get my foot in so it's going back.

Lovely boot - but, absolutely impossible to get on! I have kind of high arches and could not get my foot in the boot! They need a side zip for easier entry. Leather and style is great but, I have to send them back (and I do not think even a larger size would work either).

I love these boots! I have a bad back and I can wear them all day long. I can wear them dressed up or dress down. One of the best purchases on Zappos!
I'd also recommend: La Canadienne

These boots are so beautiful but they just didn't work for me. They are super stiff and they seemed a little gappy at the ankle. I wanted them to fit because they are a really cool boot. The search continues.

These boots are great! They fit true to size. The color is really nice and unique. I had to get them stretched out just a little to fit around my calves. The more I wear them, the more comfortable they are. Love!

I have debated whether or not I should return these for a week now and think I will be returning them. They are exceptionally well-made, but there are some problems. The leather is stiff at the top and hits right below my knee (5'3 ). This causes any pants I try tucking in to bunch up and is also kind of uncomfortable (imagine something digging in right below your knee). I'm aware that with time the leather will get softer and will stretch causing this issue to fade, but I don't feel like wearing only tights with these boots till that time. Also, the color is NOT "antique black," it is most definitely a dark gray with a hint of black. The color was the most disappointing factor for me. As others have mentioned, my boots arrived with a thick chalk-like dust covering them. My first instinct was to immediately send them back, but after way too much elbow grease for the price of these pair of boots I was able to rub off most of this strange finish. Still, they are not black, don't look right with jeans/pants tucked in (yet), and are insanely difficult to get off. I have other Fryes, but these are way harder to get off. They are truly beautiful and if you like grayish-black then go for it!
