I'd been eying these boots for a while when I finally decided to get them. There was an issue with pricing that my customer service rep, Rene, did a wonderful job clearing up. The were shipped to me in no time flat and I was wearing them a couple of days after I ordered them. These boots are very comfortable and the quality is great. They have the harness style that is in right now, but Frye has made these boots for decades. The only warning I would have is to make sure you get a good pair of socks that doesn't fall down and a nice big shoe horn to help getting them on.

I was a little concerned by the reviews stating the boots fit wide feet well as my feet are narrow. I ordered my normal size and the boots fit fine. They are not snug across the top / sides of my foot but I am not swimming in them either. I like to wear boots with thick socks, so if you like your boots to fit snug or like thin socks you might want to go down a half size. They are beautiful boots and very well made. I really like the sort of distressed appearance and classic styling.

Gorgeous boots! Very sturdy, very stylish. I love the square toe and the harness ring. These look great with my favorite jeans and with dresses and skirts as well. I have very large calves and these fit great. They are not too narrow and I usually need wide widths. I am very pleased with these boots.

I've wanted to buy these boots for three years. I have not been disappointed. Very classic clean cut, looking very good with my favorite jeans. They are a little hard in the beginning, so you definitely need a good pair of socks, but they look like they are going to last forever. Thank you. Your fan and future customer!

What fun. I grew up with Frye Boots, now my daughter loves them. Last forever. Even though some other styles of Frye boots run big, I ordered this style my daughter's true size and they fit perfect. She wears them with everything from jeans to her kilt she wears for school! Order them; you will love the look!

I love these boots. Very well made and durable, just like Frye has always been. I ordered a half size smaller (8 and 1/2 instead of my usual size 9) and they fit perfect. I have narrow feet so there was no problem at all with the fit. I love these boots!

This is the most money I have ever spent on a pair of shoes, but the second I put them on my feet, all worry and regret flew out the window! they were comfortable from the start, and become softer and more perfect with every wear. the craftsmanship is impeccable, and I know I'll be wearing these for so many years. they look great, even though I have sort of wide-ish calves. I normally wear a true size nine, and thats what size I ordered these in, since most reviewers say they tend to run a little big and i wanted to wear thick socks in our new england winters. I actually find that the nine fits really well as it is, with regular thickness socks. In boots like these, your heel is supposed to slip up and down, it does not mean they are too big! These boots are so rugged, without looking dumpy or masculine. I'm in love! Oh, and per usual, shipping from Zappos was lightning fast!

As a long-time admirer of Frye boots, these were my first pair and I love them! They are true to a western boot fit - meaning that I ended up having to get a half size down than my normal shoe size. I have wider feet, but after some initial tightness, the boot broke in within a week of wearing. The two pairs I ordered (wrong size first time) were pretty different in color due to the nature of suede, but otherwise they were as the photo presents them. They look great with pants tucked in, worn out, and with skirts - stylish enough for urban wear, too.

You can't go wrong with Frye -
I've had these boots for a year now and overall, they're great! Based on other reviews, I bought them in my true size. I have a narrow foot, so the boots are a bit roomy, but I feel that 1/2-size smaller would have been too small. I purchased a leather insole to take up the extra room. Having the insoles also work out well because they keep my feet from getting sweaty. Even with my narrow foot, they're like the devil to put on and take off. One other comment is that I feel the rubber heel wears too fast, even though I wear them only a few times a month. Regardless of any short-comings, these are very good boots, which I wholly recommend.

Yes, yes, yes -
I am not usually a person that gushes over material objects, but these boots have changed my life... OK well, I love them, anyway. They do sort of change how you walk though 'cause they are heavy and force your heel down first. Plus, they fit me perfectly, so I don't understand how they can fit others well as I have a low volume foot.

These are cute but not as cute as they looked online. A bit bulky in the toe area. The size was a little short so maybe order a half size larger. The heel was too stiff and rubbed me raw just trying them on but I have a narrow heel and a regular foot so it’s not uncommon for me. The calf size was great and they are easy to put on/take off. Seemed warm.

One Great Boot!!
I really love this boot. It was comfortable on Day One and gets better every day. I have a narrow to normal width foot, it fits perfectly everywhere. If you are normally between half-sizes, go with the smaller size.

The toe is a little too tight and the heel is a little too loose, but I love this boot. It's gorgeous and with thin wool socks I can put up with slight fit problems.

Love my new boots!
The fit is a little different than what I am accustomed; however, they are comfortable. I wear them with a heavier sock to add comfort. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than my regular shoes and they fit great. They rock!

This is a very well made shoe. I would not recommend it if you wear a lot of boot cut jeans. I am very picky and do not like to see the boot line on the outside of my jeans. I refuse to tuck my jeans into the boots. My socks slip off in these as well. They are comfortable but not for a long period of time. This is an extremely sturdy boot, but if I could have designed these myself I would have made the opening of the boot smaller(tighter to the leg). I would have returned them but I have worn them several times.

I love these boots! I am 54 and my 27-yr old daughter has these also. Comfortable and stylish for any age. Have gotten many compliments when wearing them (from people of all ages). My daughter and I both had to exchange the first pair received for a half-size smaller; therefore, I would recommend ordering a smaller size than you normally wear.

Great looking boot, but small toe box -
These boots are really great looking and well made, but the fit is problematical. The leather is very hard and the toe box unusually narrow. I am always a standard B width and these definitely run narrow. I have had them stretched, but they are going to take a while to break in. Also be prepared for heel slippage. Although the toe is narrow, the heel is wide. Also wish the sole/heel were wood instead of rubber.

Frye harness 8RWboots -
These boots are perfect for jeans and weekend wear, a bit casual for work, I feel. They aren't uncomfortable (feel a bit like cowboy boots), but I am learning what works and what doesn't. I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel. I also wear orthotics. I found that with a lightweight sock and the orthotics, the boots felt fine. Last week I wore a heavier wool sock, and my feet hurt after a while. So I will go back to the lighter socks. Zappos as usual, very timely delivery. I totally love the look of these boots, and it's true you do feel like strutting when you wear them! They take me right back to my college days!

These boots are so hot I can barely stand it! Others have suggested to order 1/2 size smaller, but it is so hard to get these things on that I had to return and get my regular size. Invest in a metal shoehorn before you get these bad boys home. When I first tried to put them on it literally took 5 minutes to shove my foot into the boot, I was exhausted and didn't even try to put the other on until I found a shoehorn, but now that I have one all is well...enjoy your boots!

Even better in person -
These boots are even better looking in person. I have skinny legs and was afraid they'd be too chunky, but in fact they are more delicate looking in person due to the beautiful leather and slender footbed. I think they run large though as I am a 7 1/2 or an 8 and the 7 1/2 I got is too big and I have a size 7 on its way to my house as we speak. The toe bed is narrow though so beware, although I think for average width feet you'd be fine.

FRYE is FABULOUS! I love these boots. Ordered a half size up, and with socks they're just perfect (I work on my feet and definitely need a little room). Can't say enough about the quality of these beautifully made boots and love the cool, rough finish. And as usual, love dealing with Zappos. If only everything in my life could go as smoothly!

Love 'dem boots!
Got a pair for me and my husband (so we could be "twins"). Boots are a little too big, especially around the heel, but they were still comfortable. I bought a leather foot bed insert which makes the fit just about perfect. Once everything is broken-in, I think they'll fit like a glove.

Great boot, weird fit.
I love the casual, kick-butt look of these boots. I bought these as my everyday boots. My biggest problem with any shoe is that my wide feet are often swished in most shoes. I originally ordered these in the 12 inch height and went up a half size due to other's remarks. Well, they sloshed around on my feet and the heel slipped a lot, way more than I could stand. Also, the shaft was so wide that they would even look silly with my jeans tucked in. So, figuring I would only wear them under my jeans, I ordered these in my normal size 6. The heel no longer slipped, but my toes were cramped. I figured they would stretch, so I kept them. After wearing them a week, I realized that the left boot conformed nicely to my foot, but the right boot was still super-tight. I used some boot-stretch spray, and then shoved a small plastic cup into the end of the boot overnight. It worked; my boots fit great now, and I know I'll be wearing them more than anything else I have. Great for a narrow foot, but will conform to a wider foot with some effort. Unless you wear thick socks, I don't recommend going up a size, that's when the heel slippage thing acts up.

The first boot from Zappos I've kept, and here's why...
I hemmed and hawed about ordering these boots, but decided that there was no harm in trying. When I first slipped them on, I wasn't sure about them because there was a fair amount of slipping, but I think those who call it normal are correct to do so. My heels slip up and down, and it feels right. (I normally wear an 8 because I have very wide feet, even though I technically am a 7.) As soon as I put on a heavier sock, they were perfect. I haven't really taken them off since. They're not super cushion-y, so I think the thicker socks are a must. They felt a little narrow at first -- on my feet -- but loosened up instantly, and the width is comfortable. They look great and I feel like a million bucks. Yay, Frye!
