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.

Great shoe. Heel slipped even though I ordered almost a full size down from what I normally am. Also, the shoe felt tight on my foot around the middle at first, but the leather just had to stretch out.

I loved the look of these boots, and wore them several days a week. However, after a couple of months, the right shoe had developed a squeaking somewhere inside the sole, maybe where two layers rub together. It is loud and annoying, so much so that my coworkers joke that they can hear me coming. The rubber insert on the sole wore out quickly, also. I would not buy another pair of these.

I love these shoes. I looked quite a while for some Chukka boots and wanted something versatile and well made. After they arrived, I wore them every day for a week. They look great with jeans or khakis, and I have gotten quite a few compliments on them. I will probably be buying these in another color soon, and will definitely consider Frye one of my preferred brands. These are highly recommended!

I wear a 10.5 sneaker and 10 dress/casual shoe and when I first received these in a 10, they felt large on me. So I ordered a 9.5. When I got the 9.5 it was squeezing my foot terribly, so I went back to the 10 and wore them for about an hour around the house. Sure enough once my feet got used to them, they felt fine. These are true to size (and I have had my foot measured). They do take a few days to break in and you may need to alternate between thick and thin socks to see what suits you best. These shoes looks really great in person and are dressy enough for a formal night out or any casual event.

Look great and are comfortable to wear and yet I have thrown these boots away after few months of wearing. I wore them mostly in a carpeted office with a 3 minute walk from the car to the building each day. Not a heavy wearing, I should say, and they were not worn every day of the week, maybe 2 to 4 days a week. On the very first day, the paint on the top section of the soles just came off. By the end of the third month, the heels were crumbling and chunks were falling off. Not buying these anymore.

Very cool boots, this is a hard sole boot, feels like an expensive cowboy boot, they quickly became very comfortable. Hip and elegant.

These are the best looking, least comfortable shoes I've ever had. After wearing these shoes for a few months I was hoping the sole would wear in to provide a lot of comfort, but instead it started falling apart. The foam at the front of the insole (by your toes) starting falling off and the heel of the shoe wore to the next layer of the sole only after 2 weeks. This is consistent too, because I replaced a pair thinking it was a defect and the same thing happened again in the same time frame. Long story short - the shoes look great, don't count on durability if you plan on walking with them. (Wait, aren't they shoes? Yep.)
