I love these boots! I read many reviews before ordering, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm usually a 7 1/2, and I bought the 7. They fit great. Amazingly, they've never given me any blisters! I expected some, but it never happened. I get tons of compliments on these every time I wear them, and they just seem to get better looking every time I put them on! They look great with my "skinny" jeans. Love them!

Success! These are the best boots ever! I absolutely love the style, feel, workmanship. I can hardly wait until I can afford another pair! But I have to say, persevere with the sizing. It took me three tries to get a good fit, which, finally, is perfect I have to say. I am between a 9 1/2 and a 10 so I ordered a 9 1/2. It was quite large on me, so I then ordered a 9, which was really tight. I was discouraged and thought I would have to choose between one of those two not so great options. Then I ordered another pair, a second pair of size 9 1/2s, and they are perfect. So keep at it if the sizing doesn't work for you at first. And with Zappos' great order/return (free shipping) policy, it was not a problem at all. So, thanks to Frye and thanks to Zappos!

I love these boots! I bought my normal shoe size. I have very narrow feet and they worked pretty well. They are stylish, versatile, and comfortable. They are a bit sleeker and more feminine than in previous years. Love the color and the distressed look.

After being teased by my husband for acting foolish wearing my new boots, we came up with a number. I feel at least 45% more confident wearing these. The style is timeless and they are so well made, you'll feel like a million bucks. They felt a tiny bit narrow at first but have broken in perfectly. They do slip on my heel so I will need inserts. I frequently do those anyway. These are well worth the money! Thanks for helping me avoid the dreaded crowds and malls Zappos.

These boots look great! They are a bit on the heavy side but I believe that\'s to be expected. It stretches out slightly and conforms to your feet as you wear it out.\r\n\r\nI usually wear a 6.5 but had to go down to 5.5 - but I have narrow feet. Zappos was GREAT about me exchanging the boots twice, with overnight delivery!

I am so happy with my purchase of these boots. I can\'t believe I waited so long to buy a pair. I bought a half size smaller just like it said I should and they fit perfectly. The more I wear them the comfortable they get. If you purchase these you will not be disappointed.

I have to say I was torn as to whether or not to buy these boots because of some conflicting reviews. Here's my take on these boots. If your feet are pretty wide like mine, I would recommend buying the shoes true to size (rather than half a size down). The leather does stretch some. That being said I love these boots! They're very stylish and can be dressed up or dressed down. I only had 2 complaints: they were still a little big, length-wise, to accommodate my width and as a result my heels rubbed the boots on one side and I blistered horribly. Now that they've been broken in they're pretty comfortable and I don't have much trouble with blisters. The other complaint I have is how narrow the shaft of the boot is; I hate to say this but if you've got bigger than normal calves, I recommend finding a store to try them on or something to make sure they'll fit and fit well enough that you can wear something thicker than tights.

I bought these because all the online reviews said they were so comfortable. Well, I have had them for a year now and I want to cry every single time I wear them. I wore them everywhere almost every day for the first 3 months I had them and then sporadically thereafter. I made the mistake of trying to break them in the very first time when I went to Vegas. Obviously, that was a disaster. The leather at the ankles creases in a bad spot and pushes against my ankles. Even with a thick piece of molefoam and rolled up socks shoved between my ankle and the boot, they are still terribly uncomfortable. I even had a boot store stretch them for me for a week and no dice. I talked to a friend who also had these and she said the exact same thing. She doesn't even bother trying to wear them anymore. I have no idea why anyone would say these are at all comfortable and why nobody's reviews say anything about this pain. Maybe I just have a faulty pair of boots, or weird ankles. There's absolutely no padding on the bottoms either, so regardless of the ankle situation it feels like you're walking on wood. Do yourself a favor and don't buy them until you try them on in the store at the very least. If you choose to buy these, you should get a half size smaller. I normally wear a size 7 and I bought a 6.5 which fit fine. Your heels will always slip out no matter what size you buy. That's just the design of the slip-on boot. They are pretty heavy, but they will never fall off. The calf openings are larger so if you have skinny chicken legs like I do then the boots stick out a bit, but they still look great.

Yummy - these are perfect - I have worn them every day and with everything (jeans, skirts, dress pants) since they arrived. They are incredibly comfortable. Yes, I ordered a half size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfectly.

Way to go Zappos. I received my boots within 3 days of odering. They were to small so I reordered the same day and got them in 2 days. Free shipping both ways is unheard of. As for the boots, they are great. They are comfortable, well make, exactly what I wanted. I ordered my regular saze 71/2 but had to go up to an 8. Love love love.

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.

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!

 |  | Just a quick note to say that my experience with Zappos has been wonderful. Your staff is so helpful, and ordering or exchanging (like I had to do) has been so easy that you definitely have my business again and again. It’s so hard to find a business as good as yours these days and I thought you should know that. THANK YOU again for making it so easy for me. I am very busy on a daily basis and you have made it easy and quick. |  | ~ Elaine S., October 12 2009
