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 read the reviews and most of them said to buy a half size smaller. So that's what I did and they are definitely too small and hurting my feet badly. Do not do this. Just buy your size. Now I have to be out quite a bit of money in order to buy the new pair immediately while I wait for the return to process.

I was so disappointed by these boots. I found them online, read the great reviews, and waited patiently for my size to be in stock so I could try them out and make them my new go to boots. Unfortunately, when they came I was immediately disappointed by their quality. Given that everyone remarks on the superb quality of Frye boots, I was surprised to find the zipper construction to be so poor. The zipper was extremely hard to pull up and down - even without my leg in it. Also, there was not much of a liner between the zipper and your leg, so if you go bare legged you can definitely feel the chunky zipper rubbing against your skin. Plus the leather was very stiff. There also was not much cushioning in the footbed for such a high heel. I could not reconcile the high price with all my complaints about the boots. So in the end, these got sent back to Zappos. Thanks for the easy returns, Zappos! I opted for a much more comfortable and equally stylish - though pricier - La Canadienne boot instead.

The zipper and the leather is great. Gorgeous, brushed brown color. No zipper issue at all. I did order 1/2 size down and think will it be ok? Maybe I could have ordered my actual size but it might have slipped in heel. Little tight around my bunion, but it will stretch. They are fitted in the ankle and calf but do flare slightly at the top. At first I didn't like the flare but have decided it looks cool. Great to tuck skinnies into. Hate them folded over! The heel height is perfect: sexy but not too high! Top of boot comes all the way up to very bottom of my knee cap, but looks fine. I am 5'4 1/2" with average size calves and thin legs. My hubby loved these boots. Buy!

These are my absolute favorite boots. I am a Frye addict, and these top my list. They are versatile (wear them up or folded down), comfortable (the cushioned foot bed allows you to actually wear them, as in walking all over the city), and they are gorgeous. I have red and black -- and continue to receive compliments, especially on the red (which is a lovely deep red, not orangey at all). I have recommended these boots to many, and those who have gotten them have all been very happy. I can also attest that they hold up well. I bought my first pair in September (it's now May) and wore them all through the fall and winter. They are still in fantastic shape, as you would expect from Fryes. Try them. I doubt you'll be disappointed!

Finally, I've found my Fryes! I feel like I've tried on every model, and always they go right back into the box. Too stiff, too uncomfortable, weird sizing...not so with these! They're sexy and gorgeous, and the leather is buttery soft (but still stands up straight). The calf is nice and sleek, and it opens up just a little bit at the top. I like it cuffed and uncuffed, and could see wearing them both ways. Classy, but sexy. I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half size down. Normally a 9, but the 8.5 fits perfectly. And they're very comfortable! Who knew you could get all that in a boot? I couldn't be happier. I'm so glad I kept looking. And, of course, I love Zappos. Thank you for yet another glorious experience! I'm going to go snuggle with my new boots now.

I was on the hunt for the perfect boot. I tried so many on in the store and through Zappos, and finally found Frye Miranda Bank Zip in black perfect. I have gotten many compliments on them. Very, very comfortable, walked Chicago for a long time (not all day but a long time) and still found them comfortable. Very cushioned, high quality leather, and up to the knee tall (I don't fold down the flap like shown in some pictures). Love them and hope they last a long time. I am a consistent 9.5 and the 9.5 is what I ended up with.
