These are the best pair of boots I've ever owned. The leather is second to none. They fit a lil small so I ordered a half size bigger. They are freaking awesome!!!

Our SIL LOVES these boots. He thought they might be a little snug - but after breaking them in - he hardly ever wears anything else. Guess Santa will bring him another pair - with the taller cuff this year!

The dark brown oiled vintage color is amazing! Very handsome color and soft to the touch! My husband looks very nice in these and he loves them! Comfort right out of the box! He ordered a half size down and they fit very well.

My husband says these are easy to take off and put on, which he likes. They are comfortable and he really loves them! He has wanted a pair of these for a long time and was not disappointed!

I liked the black and brown colors but went with the whisky color and saved $100 dollars. I had to go a 1/2 size larger (I have a large instep).

I was expecting to be a lather sole for a rubber sole it seems like a little over priced.

Needed to replace a pair that I had for 15 years and after several resoles, needed new boots.. Glad that nothing changed in the style and workmanship of the boot. Great boot and great service.

I purchased my Frye Harness Boots just over a week ago and like all Frye products, they live up to the quality that you'd expect. Great fit, great look, & very comfortable.

I bought these for my husband, and he got me the women's 12r in the Whiskey. We both love them so much. I have 4 other Harness12r and love them all, but I get the most compliments on the whiskey. My husband says this is his favorite casual Frye boot. He has one a half-size down, and this in his normal size. My others are 7 and my normal is 7 1/2, and I have the whiskey in the 71/2. They do run large, but I think I actually prefer the normal size, to have more room in the fairly narrow toe box. We gave a farm and live in Maine with crazy weather, and all the Harness boots he and I have stand up to all we put them through. Love them! If you're on the fence, go for it.

These boots are comfortable. These boots are supple. They were worth every penny. I was able to fend off a warewolf attack by using nothing but spinning roundhouse kicks wearing these boots. These boots go well with jeans and chain mail.

The perfect boot in every way! Nice color/finish, fit, and solid sole and heel. I bought this same style in black a few years ago and the leather didn't hold up well but trying again as I know Frye makes a great product.

These are awesome boots. I have big calves and have trouble with a tall boot, and I see no point in a tall boot other than making my legs hot. These are perfect. Beautiful boots.

My proper (fitted at shoe store) size is 11.5. I have a moderate arch and a narrow foot. 11.5 with Superfeet insoles fit like a glove. Very sharp boot, made in USA, and excellent quality. Would require some break in, but I could see these being very comfortable and lasting for years. I decided to return them. Turns out the harness boot just isn't my style... maybe I'll revisit if I get a Harley!

These are great boots! I also own a pair of Philip Harness boots from Frye, which are much lighter and can be worn as dress boots; these 8Rs are definitely for casual wear, somewhat heavier, but only relative to the Philip Harness, and have a bit of a heel. You know you're wearing boots. Most of all, they look fantastic! The only thing I could want is a bit of metal trim on the toe.
I'd also recommend:

I'VE HAD THESE 8Rs FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW AND STILL NOT WIDE ENOUGH. TRIED EVERYTHING SHORT OF SWIMMING WITH THEM ON AND WALKING THEM DRY. FROM THE TOES BACK TO THE START OF THE RISING OF THE BODY HAS NO GIVE TO FORM TO MY FEET
I NOTICED THE 12R GOING TO WIDE WIDTH, WHY NOT THE 8Rs ALSO, JUST TRIM ABOUT 4 INCHES OFF? TO ME, SOUNDS SIMPLE, USE A KNIFE AND THEN SOW THE TRIMMINGS AT THE VERY TOP. REALLY REALLY GLAD ABOUT THE 12Rs GOING WIDE WIDTH, BUT PLEASE DO NOT STOP THERE

I just got my pair and I'm happy with my purchase! They are very robust so there is a break in period. These are my second pair of frye's! Great boots! Thank you!

Harness 8R is a timeless classic which is my all time favorite. I have an old pair in charcoal, they're 4 years old but still looking awesome. Nothing beats wearing them with a nice pair of boot cut jeans. My recent purchase however was way too small, it's hard to understand since I have the same exact pair (9.5) in a different color while my old pair fits like a glow, I am having a hard time getting these on. I thought the last should be standard for the same models and numbers. I am not sure if I can break them any time soon. I have also attached the photos with the scratches but since this is a rugged style harness, scracthes shouldn't be a major problem.

I love the looks of this boot. It took a few hundred steps to break them in, though. The thinner the sock, the better. Rubber sole for the Ohio winter is really good too!

I like the Frye 8R boots, but do wish it had come in "wide," also. The leather is quite stiff, so I've been using beeswax to help relax it. They're comfortable, but wanted the extra width to make them easier to put on, which is also why I ordered a 13 instead of a 12, the size I generally wear. With heavier socks, though, extra room is appreciated. They're well made and look good, the straps are a bit loose and tend to stay, especially in back.

Exactly what I wanted, but not really.
My only complaint is that the boots they shipped me were quite a bit lighter in color than the boots pictured. I realize that leather varies in color, so this is to be expected from time to time, but I was still a bit disappointed. Also, the boots were a bit tight, for a size 13, but after a few days they stretched out nicely. A few people have noted how the boots are comfortable upon purchase and don't need breaking in. I found that they, like all of my leather boots needed breaking in. I got mild blisters on the first day, but after a few days they were fine.
