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 ordered these boots in the brown size 9 with trepidation after reading prior reviews. The boots are a gorgeous, soft leather in a rich brown color, and I really wanted them to work. Sure enough, however, after 30 minutes of blood, sweat, and tears, I could not get them on even my smaller foot. I have several pairs of Frye boots and have found each one to be difficult to put on initially, loosening over time. Once on, each has been comfortable from the start, and worth the effort. After some thought, I devised a homemade boot glide that worked like a charm. I noticed that the leather just above the heel was bunching up and I could not get my foot past that area. I have a long shoe horn, but it is narrow and not helpful. I cut one of those thin, flexible, plastic cutting boards I had on hand into 4" by 15" pieces, (originally 12" x 15") and slid one inside the back of the boot, all the way to the bottom. With my thinnest, silkiest sock on, I was then able to slide my foot in with only a moderate amount of effort in less than 30 seconds. My boot glide is now hanging in my closet next to my boot remover for general use! I am happily wearing my new boots which I love and almost sent back. I am a solid size 9, and found them to be maybe slightly narrower than average, but a size larger would be too big, especially since they will definitely loosen over time.

I am terribly disappointed with this particular Frye Boot. I am a small framed 5'6" woman, 120lbs, wearing a slim 6.5-7 shoe, and I can barely get my foot into this boot! The ankle area is cut so narrow that even with a boot-horn it was painful to get on, and once on, far from comfortable! I am so very disappointed - I ordered these at the last moment hoping to be able to wear them on a trip to France, that I leave for tomorrow morning, but there is no way. Not sure what I'll wear now, I was really counting on these to be right. My fault. I think I'm off Frye Boots for awhile, as I went through a similar poor design fit last year, as have a couple of friends. Plus they looked much better in the photos. Sigh.

I own numerous pairs of Frye boots and shoots. And if there's one thing I've learned with Frye, it's to size down. So I purchased the Shirley Strappy Short in fatigue in a size 9. I'm a perfect 9.5 with every other shoemaker. The size 9 fit fine. I couldn't understand why other reviewers complained about not being able to get their foot in the boot. Looking at the photos, I assumed you could just unwind the leather strap, and the shaft of the boot would open up. I own a pair of Jeffrey Campbell boots that do this, so I thought, "Oh, these Fryes must be like my brown Jeffrey Campbell boots." Yeah, they're not. The front of the shaft is stitched together with the back of the shaft. This explains why some folks had issues. And while I was able to get my foot in with no problem, I'll be returning the boots. The fatigue color just didn't appeal to me in person.

Love these boots! Got the grey/green color which is so less "army" in person. Not too tall but this way I can fit my larger calves and jeans into them. They run about a 1/2 size large like typical Fryes. These are my 3rd pair.

Love these boots. I generally wear a 7.5 and that is what i ordered and the fit is perfect. I have no problems pulling the boot on and can wear with boot cut pants covering the top or with skinny pants with the pants tucked in.

These boots are definitely true to size. I ordered a half size up based on reviews and they were way too big. Returned and got my regular size. The leather is great quality and very thick, so a long breaking-in process is required. Wore them for a holiday party and was hobbling on my way home. Probably my fault for not wearing wool socks, which reduces abrasions. But I looked great and had the best boots there. These will last years and years, unlike other brands. If you like them, get 'em before they sell out.
