Frye

Harness 8R

Women's

Love these boots! I\'ve only worn them around the house yet but they are very comfortable. As for sizing, I was uncertain because of the reviews. Most people were saying they run 1\/2 to a full size too large. And they will "break in". I usually wear 9 1\/2 or 10. So I ordered a 9. It was a struggle to get them on and off and I tried them on for 3 days. It did not get much easier so I ordered a 9 1\/\/2 and they went right on. It seems they are not so much longer, but wider or roomier. If you are a solid shoe size I would go 1\/2 size down. If you are one of 2 sizes, just go with the lower size. Hope this helps.

Amazing boots! Just received them in the mail. I actually had to use saran wrap to get them on at first, but they have stretched out and they now fit perfectly. Beautiful distressed leather and squared toe. Love them, thanks Zappos!

I was looking for a pair of classic looking, harness style motorcycle boots. I had never tried Frye boots before and was apprehensive about the cost, but I had heard amazing things about this brand & decided to give them a try. I ordered them in the smoked oil wash. First off, let me say that Frye really lives up to its name. I understand all of the hype now! The craftsmanship, detailing and quality is simply amazing! These are very well-made boots! While these were very beautiful, I decided to exchange them for the Frye 8W black harness boots, simply because I had my heart set on a pair of classic, black motorcycle boots. From the pictures, to me, the shiny black option in this style had a bit more of a cowboy boot vibe to it. Very striking, just not what I was going for. I knew the smoke color wouldn't be a jet black, but I expected it to be more in the black color family, by looking at the picture. & I loved the vintage look to it. In person, it looks more of a smoky, espresso color with hints of black. I would categorize these boots to be more in the brown range/family of colors. It's very versatile & a beautiful, neutral, earthy shade that will pair well with pretty much anything. & it did have that vintage look/ feel to them. I just had something very specific in my mind that I was looking for, and had my heart set on black boots. And that is the only reason that I exchanged these. But Zappos was so amazing with this and with all of their help! I cannot sing their praises enough! & the 8W Harness boots are perfect for me!! I wanted to write this review 1) to reiterate what other reviewers have said. The quality of these boots is outstanding and it is worth the money! These will hold up for a very long time! So you will get you your money's worth! And they are a beautiful pair of boots! And 2) to explain about the smoke color. It's very striking & if I saw a woman wearing them, I would stop her and complement her on such beautiful shoes. Again, I was just looking for something specific and the smoke is not a black. Hope that helps! Oh! As far as sizing goes, I'm either a 7 or or 7 1/2 in most shoes (a 7 in shoes that tend to run a little bigger or a higher end brand ). This was no exception. The 7 worked well, although these were a little more narrow for me than my 8W (which fit my particular foot a little better, the 8W that is. )

I am a true to size 7. I bought these in both a 7 and a 6.5 as other reviewers said they ran 1/2 size big. The 7 was more comfortable to get on, but my foot slid all over the place. The 6.5 was snug in the toe box but after wearing it around the house they were perfect. If they are snug, blast them with a blow dryer and wear around the house. Voila, perfect Fryes! Also, I bought the Chocolate Vintage which is a stiffer leather than the khaki color. I think it will stretch out perfectly! Hope this helps!

Never owned a pair of Frye boots since every "Earl" I knew, back in the day, wore a pair. However, I knew they were very well made and lasted forever, which in this economy is a plus. I decided to check the Frye Boot section at Zappos and came across the Frye Harness 8R. I fell in love at first sight. They are a work of art, seriously. The finish is beautiful and unique. The quality is all that Frye boots are known for, first rate leather, sturdy leather sole and heel, the detailed stitching is all it should be and the sleek design makes for an awesome look. The fact that they are right above the ankle also sold me on this pair. Since Frye makes a heavier boot, the lower shaft cuts down on the weight. The antique chocolate finish is icing on the cake because the compliments are endless. \r\nOut of all the boots I own, the Frye Harness 8R, are the stand out, and they will probably out last me. Could not be more thrilled with this boot! \r\n\r\n
