These boots are awesome. They do run large, though. I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered accordingly even though I had read the reviews. Well, they came and were so big I was practically stepping out of them. So I sent them back and ordered a 7. They were tight in the ball of the foot and I debated sending them back, but ended up wearing them and because they were leather, they stretched out (in the ball of the foot) perfectly. I love these boots. Get lots of compliments. Everyone calls them cowboy boots, though.

Like everyone else I got a half size smaller and they are just right especially after wearing them a few times. I have narrow feet and they felt tight but they stretched out quickly and now feel perfect. The correct size would have given me blister and probably always felt like I was swimming in them. I ordered both sizes and wore them around the house for a while, but definitely needed the smaller size. I didn't think they were fantastically comfortable at first, but once you have them on for a while they really are quite comfortable and I feel so fashionable. I get compliments every time I wear them. Even my teenage and college age girls think I am cool.

I have these boots in the tan color and love them! Unlike other reviewers, I found that these boots are true to size. These boots will always be in style and are so durable that I know I will have them for years to come.

A lot of people in the reviews said these boots would be too big, and that I should order half a size down. But I was skeptical of that notion and decided to go with my true size (9). That ended up being just fine; they are a tiny bit big, but I have fairly narrow feet. I think I\'ll mostly be wearing them with thicker socks anyhow. I\'ve been receiving non-stop compliments on them! They\'re pretty much perfect to wear with any of my clothes, dressed up or dressed down. So far I\'ve worn them through a snowstorm (kept my feet dry and warm!), to a couple all night dance parties, and to my job at a coffee shop where I\'m on my feet for long hours. Totally comfortable and they took no time at all to wear in. Highly recommend these boots! They are worth the money!

Love this boot. Bought it in red, wow. Compliments every time I wear them. They were comfortable straight out of the box, with luscious thick but incredibly soft leather. Nice footbed padding, I don't even need to wear thick socks. I did end up ordering a half size down from what I normally wear, as others have mentioned. This is an expensive boot, but given Frye's reputation, I know I will wear it for the next decade or more.

Love them! When I first put them on I thought they were going to be uncomfortable; the more you walk in them the more comfortable they get. I was also surprised at how many different styles these boots actually work with. I will never be without a pair of these boots. They are so well made I may never have to buy another pair. I really wish I would have bought these years ago.

This is a beautiful boot, and the sole will be good in a snowy/icy climate. However, I ended up giving my pair to a friend because the heel was just too high for me. Previously, I\'ve worn the Veronica boot, and at other times tend to wear Sanita clogs. My bunions couldn\'t adjust to the higher heel. Too bad!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Zappos and my Frye Harness 12R boots! Yes, that's right, boots. I was so happy with the service I received from Zappos and the comfort and fit of my black Frye boots, that I ordered another pair. I got the Frye Campus 14L boots in Blazer Brown! I really love them too. Best of all though is the customer service from Zappos. It is absolutely unbeatable. I have been spreading the news to everyone, even the guys, at work. Actually, it's the guys who have been really complimenting my Frye boots.Thank you, Zappos for your excellent service. I will be a customer for life!

Love these boots! I bought these boots to wear with jeans and longer skirts and they look great. I wore them for the first time yesterday to go shopping and my feet were comfortable the whole time. After reading many of the reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than what I wear in tennis shoes and they fit perfect. Easy to get on and off. I know I'll have these boots for many years to come. I would definitely recommend them.

Love these boots. I live in a tropical setting and was afraid they would be too warm, but the leather is relatively light and supple. Love the crazy horse color, looks like I've had these boots for years. These are a great upgrade to the ubiquitous crocs or sneakers for running errands and are also practical for light work. I wanted to replace an heirloom pair for a long time and finally splurged. They are very comfortable and offer protection if you're walking in heavy brush, but because the leather is so soft they don't offer much in the way of arch or ankle support so I'll still keep a sturdy pair of hiking boots around for heavy field work.

Beautiful shoes, the leather is gorgeous. I bought the tan version and I never thought leather could look so good. My only issue is that I'm concerned it looks too western with blue jeans, but my friends say I'm crazy to think that. Definitely go with the half size smaller that you usually go between, but they are meant to fit just a tad bit big.

Last Friday, I wanted to wear my new Frye 15Rs with jeans and, to my great disappointment, they are so tall that they showed through my pants. Ah yes, I thought, I need a pair of 12Rs! So, I finally decided on the Chocolate Vintage on Sunday and they arrived Monday (yesterday). I thought I'd love the distressed look, but I didn't, so I called to make an exchange and got the Burnt Red instead. They arrived this morning (thanks to Zappos' amazing customer service!) and they are gorgeous. As with all Frye products, the leather is really beautiful and the boot very well-made. I always take a half size smaller in the Harness and the Campus and still have plenty of wiggle room. I highly recommend these if you're looking for a great-quality classic that will last for years. As always, Frye is a great value for the money.

I love these boots but they are too narrow on my wide foot when I ordered a size smaller as was recommended. Since this is Zappos, it's easy enough to return for another size if they don't fit, but alas, I did not order my first pair from Zappos. But I would recommend ordering your true size or even a size larger if you have a wide foot at all. If they are too long you would be better getting a good pair of insoles to take up the space than having them be too small. I love these boots so much that I've worn them for a year trying to stretch them out, but it's not happening and my feet hurt! I finally gave in and bought another pair, a full size larger. I'm excited to finally be able to wear them without pain!

Best boots ever. So I found Durango boots that look just like these Fryes, but a lot cheaper. There's a reason why they were much cheaper! Because they were gross and uncomfortable and basically, they sucked! I returned those and ordered these Frye Harnesses. Wow, the most comfortable boots I have ever put on my two feet. I also own the Frye Paige Tall Riding boots, which I also love and are so stylish and awesome, but these Harness boots are so much more comfortable. I usually wear size 5.5-6 in regular shoes and my Paige boots are a size 5.5, but so hard to take off so I ordered these in a 6 and they feel a little long, but other than that they fit perfect with or without socks and are easy to put on and take off. I saw these boots at the store in the chocolate vintage color which was pretty cool looking, but I ended up ordering them from Zappos in black. They look good with every color denim or leggings or dresses. Love them! I ordered these at 10 PM Tuesday night, they were at my doorstep by afternoon the next day. I don't know how they do it, but Zappos is seriously the best!

These boots were well worth it! I got the sort of chocolate natural distressed leather. I have really short calves so I was worried about being able to get them on being that they have no zipper or stretching to help put on the mid calf (for me they are High Calf) boots. But I was pleasantly surprised that just giving them a once over with my leather moisturizer and wear them for about an hour and they had stretched just right. They have become one of my staples. I wear them at least once a week! And made me feel like I was helping to spur the economy a bit.

Great boot! I have narrow feet, and I usually wear 8-8.5, but I have found that in general the Frye boots tend to run large. This is my second pair of Fryes, and I ended up getting a size 7 for this pair too. If you have a narrow foot, you are more likely to feel like you are slipping out of the boot if you only go a 1/2 size down. The forefoot area is just a touch too narrow, but I am hoping the boot will soften with time, and the fit should be perfect then.

I\'ve had these boots for a week now and I love them! Before they arrived, I was a little uncertain about the mid-calf height, but I\'ve discovered that it makes it very versatile and fits a variety of jeans, from skinny to boot cute. I do have to say though, these boots are very heavy and a bit clunky, but for some reason they still look great! My normal shoe size is 5.5 and the smallest size that Frye\'s makes in this boot is 5.5. It did feel a half size too large as there was too much heel slippage. I remedied it by wearing thick boot socks. I had tried using an insole but it didn\'t feel right. It\'s taken me a week to break it in a bit, especially the toebox. Like I said, they look great and are starting to feel good. If I could wear these everyday, I would!

These boots were purchased in the dark tan color. They look great! As a pull on boot they at first felt loose but of course as you get used to walking in this style again (I had a pair in the 70s)you remember to let the boot follow your foot. Lots of support for the arch, a perfect match to my size, enough heel for fashionability but not too much to bother my lower back. Heavy! if you are not used to a big pair of leather boots, don\'t break these in by walking around NYC - be sure to get used to them and then they will feel like you have had them forever. No blisters, although the Frye label inside chafed a nasty wound into the side of my leg when I had on short socks one day. You might want to cut out the label or cover it with a large bandaid or piece of duct tape. People comment on these boots every time I wear them, including my undergraduate students who are much much cooler than me. And of course the question is - "oh! are those Fryes???"

It\'s love at first sight again! This is my 2nd pair of Frye boots: The Harness 12R in Tan. The quality of the leather and craftsmanship is incredible! I had a little more difficulty getting the right fit in this style. My first pair, the Frye Billy Pull On, in 6.5, fit perfectly. I read the reviews for the Harness 12R and ordered the Belted Harness 12R in size 6. It was too tight across the ball of my foot and the snugness of the heel felt like it could rub. I ordered this pair, the Harness 12R in Tan, in 6.5. Yes, it\'s roomy, it also happens to be a perfect fit across the ball of my foot and sucks my socks right off when I remove the boot! I\'m sticking with 6.5! The boot fits well with thick socks or a cushy insole. It\'s completely comfortable walking, going up & down stairs, and picking up the pace to catch an elevator or train. The shaft accommodates my jeans and they look great with casual and girly skirts too!

These are beautifully crafted boots. I read the reviews and ordered a half-size smaller then I normally wear, and this was defiitely the right call, as the boots fit well - snug but not too tight. I have a very narrow foot, so there is some slippage in the heel, but having the half size smaller and wearing a thicker sock minimizes this. I had ordered another style of Frye Boots in my regualr size, and it was definitely too big. Were a bit stiff at first, but are breaking in nicely.
