I have had these boots for 35 years and have worn them moderately in that time. They got better with age and more comfortable. Going to buy a new pair just because I love them. By the way, I only polished them twice and never resoled them and still perfect.

I have owned these boots for 28 years.
They are better now than the day I bought them. With light care, they only seem to get better with age. Oh the things these boots have seen and done.

I expected these boots to be stiff, too big length wise and narrow. Boy was I surprised!! They fit my foot like they were handmade for me. I’ve looked at Frye boots for years only to back away because of the price. Zappos had a clearance going on this model and they had one pair left in my size, so I jumped on it, and I’m sure glad I did. They look great and feel even better!! The quality of the leather and craftsmanship is exceptional. Well worth the normal price in my opinion; a steal for what I paid. Thanks Zappos!!!!

I've had these boots for nearly a week now and I LOVE them! I work in a warehouse type environment and am on my feet all day and these boots are just as comfortable at 5pm as they are at 7:30am. I also walk 3 miles a day on my lunch breaks so I've clocked in a little over 15 miles and absolutely no issues....... : ) If you are thinking of buying these, do yourself a favor and do it, you won't be sorry.

As the old saying goes you get what you pay for. Frye's may be more expensive but what you get in quality and workmanship more than make up for it. These are the nicest boots I've bought in a long time. I got the brown ones and they match the pictures exactly. The fit is perfect and they are extremely comfortable. They will be my everyday boot.I'll definitely buy another pair in black this time. As far as I'm concerned there's nothing else for me but Frye.People ask me where I got them. I tell them Zappos. Zappo's service and shipping are second to none!!

I bought these back in 2008ish, have worn them almost every day for 10 almost 11 years. I've had them re-soled 3 times by my cobbler and the leather is still holding up strong. Highly recommended.

I can only hope that these boots can handle the my lifestyle, being someone who regularly destroys the best boots on the market (not to lack of proper care mind you). These things ooze cool. I have never had a pair of boots that serve more for style over function, but upon opening the box I was immediately blown away. Sadly I live in a fairly trendy area and have come to find that these particular boots are favored more by stay at home moms than true quality enthusiasts such as myself. Oh well, the minute these went on my feet all doubt and insecurity faded away. I hope more than anything that these stand my test of time, but as of right now I have only good things to say. To anyone interested in this particular color, I say go for it as pictures do not near do it justice. Very creative and authentic.

I was on the fence on these boots, but they are awesome. USA made, excellent leather, and tough looking. Size down a 1/2 size for a good fit.

Not bad but!!
Everything went real smooth until I did a return for a different size and thats when things went bad. I was pretty happy to get my exchange order so quick and was delighted with a perfect fit but not so thrilled about recieving two left boots. This really wasn't so bad once I explained how my dad had two left feet and my mom had two right feet and naturally I ended up with a right and left. So, in short all worked out well.

Just like old times!
All I can say is that if you're searching for the perfect pair of harness boots, then stop where you are and order these now! Just order a half size smaller than you normally wear. Back when I was in high school, we were all wearing Frye Harness Boots, and just to be a "Rebel" most of us wore them without socks...which is unusual I know, but they were quite comfortable this way. Also the frowns we got from our moms when they saw us pulling them on barefoot just added to the thrill. Anyway, 20 years later I found that Fryes are still available and just had to re-live the past. They are still well-made with about a 2 hour break-in and are still the most comfortable boots I've ever worn! The only difference between then and now is that it's my wife that gives me funny looks as I still refuse to wear socks with them!

Sizing issues -
These boots look great, the leather is really good quality, etc. The only problem is the sizing. I wear a full size 15 in most brands but my foot was swimming in these, I am going to send them back an try a 14, hope that will work. Zappos is really great about returns/exchanges, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Great Boot -
Went to a local store, out of stock - won't get my size in for weeks. Went to Zappo's, had the boot on my foot in 2 days. My feet are hard to fit (my left is larger than my right), but this boot is well within the comfort margin I can accept - short break-in time, very comfortable, etc. They look great with a variety of jeans and pants. No complaints.

Boots & Services -
First, the boot...this is one good looking boot. I got the wheat, which is uniquely attractive because of its texture of color tones due to its light shade. Fits great. I've only had these for three days and each day the boot feels better as it loosens up. I give comfort a five (knowing it will get there).
Now the service...and that is where this company excels (as far as I am concerned). I originally placed my order with Zappos Dec. 10 and received an out of stock message stopping the order (during the order process, which is nice) and I indicated that I wanted to know when the boot was in stock (also a nice option). But then I got anxious and ordered the boot from another company (same day 12/10). Big mistake. The next week, having heard nothing from this other company, I asked for a status. It was getting ready to ship they said. Well, making a long story short, this conversation (give me a status…it’s getting ready to ship) went on until Jan. 3rd when they told me that my order was in backorder status and did I want to cancel. I never wanted anything more.
Meantime, about Dec. 15th Zappos had emailed me that the boots were in stock if I would like to order them now. And of course I had already begun my odyssey with that other outfit.
Now, back to Jan. 3rd…following the cancellation of my backordered order and free to order again, I did so with Zappos. Bingo…the order went through, meaning the boot was in stock. Timing was right to get free shipping, then I was notified that the shipping was upgraded (I’m sure just because it was me), and I received my boots on Jan. 5th. That’s right, ordered the third, received the fifth.
So, am I happy with Zappos? Absolutely! Do I like the boots? Absolutely!

Long Lasting and Good Looking -
I have had a pair of these boots for 7 years. I bought them because my dad had a pair from the 70s and I out grew them. I have recieved a compliment on them almost every time I have worn them. They are like slippers they are so comfortable (once you've worn them in). The sole lasted about 5 years before needing to be replaced. I would recommend these to anyone.

Great boots, 1/2 size small.
I normally wear a size 12R, but the 11 1/2 W fits better than any other boot I have ever bought. It looks and feels great.
I had to do one exchange to get the right size, and this was fantastically easy. One phone call was all it took. In fact, Zappos sent the new boots 2nd day air before I sent the originals back.

Good Investment!
I LOVE these boots! I got the wheat color which is a great neutral tone that already looks broken in...they go with everything and I've already gotten a lot of compliments on them!~ The representative was so helpful she helped me exchange for another pair that was too small and I got these 2 days later! KUDOs ZappOS!
