These boots are everything I wanted. Only took three days to recieve them. I do reccomend going 1/2 size to a full size smiller than your regular shoe size. They only took about a week to break in and I where them pretty much whereever I go.

Incredible boots. Very comfortable, and they look like I've already been wearing them for 5 years, which is what I wanted. The only time I don't wear them is if it's too hot for jeans and boots. Otherwise, these are on my feet with almost no exception. Order them 1/2 size smaller than normal.

Excellent - These boots are very high quality and very comfortable. But...I had to exchange them for a 1/2 size smaller and put inserts in (which I do for all my boots anyway). Zappos is great - they let me hold onto what was the larger pair, sent me the smaller pair, and let me decide after making sure that I had the right size.

Hot Boots - I'm reviewing for my husband for whom I bought these as a gift. He loves the style and comfort, but he thinks they are hot (the in-sole is made of some non-absorbent material). He has "delicate" feet, so comfort is important. I bought the boots in 8.5, which is his true size, but they were too loose for his comfort. I ordered a pair in size 8, and those were somewhat tight and hard to pull on and off. We remedied this by purchasing a set of leather sole inserts. The size 8.5 now fit him perfectly and the leather inserts helps keep his feet a little drier.

A little shoe-stretch, an insole, and you're ready to rock. I got my Harness (full disclosure...the side zip version that isn't made anymore) three years ago. I loved the way they looked and the leather was so rich and buttery. But every time I put them on, something wasn't "right". People told me you had to wear them a lot to break them in. But I found that, despite not feeling too small, they rubbed the knuckles of my toes in a way that bothered me and the lack of support inside made me feel wobbly. Well, thanks to my genius girlfriend, I bought a great Superfeet boot insole for support and had the boots professionally stretched just a touch in the toe area. Now, it's hard for me to wear anything else. I love the way they look and feel. If you're lucky enough to have them fit right away, awesome. If not, take the time to customize. Reward the boots and they'll reward you back.

Frye Harness 8R “D width Gaucho” - When I ordered Frye Harness 8R “D width Gaucho” on Friday night, I thought it would take a week, but I received it on Monday afternoon and I liked them so much that I ordered one in black the same day and I was surprised to receive it next day by noon, can’t ask for more. Both Gaucho and Black are the same size, but feel different when you wear it, one a little tighter than the other pair. I wear 9 and 9.5 size, but I ordered 9 and it fits really nice, so my advice is order one and try it for a day then decide. Like I said, every pair is a little different. Great Looking Boot - Excellent Customer Service, Unbeatable Shipping Service, Reasonably Priced, and the best quality boot I have owned. This is a must visit website for any shoe buyer.

Amazing boots so far - I have been wearing these boots for about 3 weeks now and they are very comfortable, and hold up to weather great and look amazing. There has been almost no breaking in needed. Just took a few good days of walking around New York City to do that. Leather is beautiful too.

Great boots. These are the first boots I've owned for quite a long time, and I'm definitely satisfied. The boots have a sharp look and good feel. The arch support makes this the running shoe of boots, but the heel is still a little hard. I've never owned a slip-on and it'll take some adjusting to, so to people looking at a boot for the first time: know that you'll have to acclimatize to the difference from shoes. They definitely need some breaking in, the leather is thick and at first the boot doesn't want to follow your foot at all. Aside from the great product, I got great service. Free shipping of any kind is great, especially with a package as heavy as the boots, and in this case I expected them to take awhile to arrive. I made the order on Friday night, it was processed Saturday morning, and ended up 20 minutes away from my house at around noon on Saturday. The boots arrived on Monday, a day earlier than what was scheduled. My first order from Zappos was great, and I'll definitely consider offering my patronage in the future.

Like my new boots - I like my new boots, the left one seems easier to put on than the right one but that might be a difference in the way my feet are shaped.

Amazing! Best boots ever! I absolutely love these babies! I wear them almost every day and they are super comfortable, they can be dressed up or dressed down and always look great! At first I got a thirteen because that’s usually my size, but they felt to large so I went with a twelve and they are perfect, order a pair!:)

Great Looking Boot - Excellent Customer Service, Unbeatable Shipping Service, Reasonably Priced, and the best quality boot I have owned. This is a must visit web site for any shoe buyer. Frye's Harness 8R "D width was wider than one might expect and fit comfortably my wide foot. The size 10 was right on for a guy who has been size 10 for thirty years. Any decisive buyer who know's what he (she) wants will have no worries here. Zappos is on my favorite list.

Fantastic - When I first received these boots they did seem to be a little big. I wear an 11 in Nike shoes and they fit snugly, but slipping on these boots in an 11 left me with a little bit of extra room. I did realize however that mostly wearing these boots in cooler weather I will be wearing a thicker wool sock and after putting some on found the boots to fit snugly. This boot looks and feels great plus it is built extremely well and I imagine will last a very long time.

At my Door in less than 24 - Just go them today in less than 24 hours. I find that with my narrow heel going down a half a size was real help. 10 to 9.5. Like all other boots, they will need some break in, but the look is awesome; nice quality boots.

Frye Harness 8R - Great looking boot. Still breaking them in after wearing four times. They hug your feet like gloves. First try was a half size too large. Zappos was great at sending replacement. Excellent service setup.

This is a great boot. It is constructed well and has a classic look- though it looks good dressed up with jeans. It fit really well, though the toe was a bit narrower than I thought. Other than that, it is a great looking boot that wears well and I expect will last for a long, long time.

Excellent Choice - I love my new boots. They are great looking and continue to get that way through wearing them more and more. Someone earlier mentioned that you need to wear them more to stretch them out, this is my one piece of advice too. The Harness is tight at first, but just needs wearing to make them easier to put on. I love them and am continually getting compliments on them.

Great boot - I love the look and the fit of these boots! I was very pleasantly surprised that they weren't too wide for my narrow foot. The only downside for me has been the lack of comfort in the cushioning in the heel. Unfortunately I spend most of my day standing on very hard linoleum-on-concrete floors, so that doesn't help much. Nothing an additional insert won't fix. Overall, though, I love the boots and love being a "boot guy." I don't think I'll go back to wearing low, lace-up shoes again.

Frye Harness 8R Gaucho... I had been looking at this boots online & finally decided to buy a pair. I had read all the good stuff about Zappos customer service but found them cheaper at another online site. Sure enough, I called Zappos and got the boots for the same price plus 10% of the difference, no questions asked. Great service from Zappos. The boots are quality - The leather is a little hard & thick which is a good thing with boots because in time they will form to your foot and be like slippers. Typical difficulty getting them on and off but got better as I stretched them by hand a little. As others have noted, go a 1/2 size smaller when ordering this boot. I did & they are perfect. Most importantly, I dig this boots & feel good wearing them. Not the same old stuff you see with everyone else wearing. Thanks Zappos and Fryes!!!

I love them - customer support is great too - This was my very first pair of boots - the reviews were good and I liked the style, so I went for them. These boots are maybe kind of tricky to slip into, but they are really comfortable and definitely nice looking; several friends did appreciate the quality of the leather. I started with a size 12 and had to return it for a 13 - I called the customer support a couple of times to fully understand the procedure and I believe it's one of the best support I ever had; these guys are quick, kind and very effective. I really recommend the couple Frye - Zappos!

Great boot...great service - It was hard to find this boot, in the correct size, a few weeks before Christmas. Zappos had them. I purchased them Thursday night at 9:00 P.M. By Friday lunch time they were at my desk! What is surprise to return from lunch and there they were. BOOTS- The boots are great! Perfect condition out of the box. A little stiff at first but started to break in the first day he wore them. Please note, if you have larger calves you're better off with the 8R and not the 12R height. The 12R are 14.5” opening at the top. The 8R fits below the calf. SERVICE- I was completely satisfied with the service, shipping, packaging of product and the great return policy. If you find it cheaper on another website, take advantage of the 110% adjustment policy. Zappos will refund the variance in price by 110%! (I received $4.40 back.) This was my first purchase with Zappos and I will be back.

Gus from Memphis - Just got these boots last night and am wearing them today. I wear a 9-1/2 E width shoe normally. Boots were very tight to get on with the strap, but after stretching them by hand second fitting was better. I can already feel the boots forming to my foot. For those with an E width foot, these boots will fit after you get beyond the initial wearing. They do look great and have received compliments from wife and work staff.

Hello: I want to compliment all Zappos employees on their great service. I ordered two pairs of shoes at 9am on a Saturday and they arrived at my home by Monday afternoon – in just 2 days over a Sunday! I never expected to get them so fast. Thanks so much. You are a model of customer service and efficiency!
