Customer Reviews Frye Engineer 12R

They run really big! At least a full size.

I love my engineer boots. They are the most comfortable boots ever. I could even wear them without socks and never get a blister. They have broken in really nicely. I love them with my jeans. I am very happy with my purchase. Although nothing surprises me about Zappos as it has always been great for me. Thanks!

These boots are awesome! My favorite pair of boots I've ever owned! They were immediately comfortable with a nice heavy pair of wool socks. I walk everywhere in them. I love to wear them with just below the knee skirts.

I love these. They're cool looking and very comfortable. I wear them with skinny jeans and boot socks -- roll the socks over on top of the boots. Looks really cute!

These boots are amazing! True to size; great fit; look terrific w/ jeans or skirt. Absolutely love them!

Had these going on 10 years now and I love them just as much as the first day. Survived a low speed MVA on my cycle with no abrasion or ijury to the feet or ankles as well. If only they came in a light tan, I'd order them in a flash.

I love these boots. They are sturdy, stylish, and comfortable right out of the box. They seem well built. I hope they will last for many years. I bought my usual size 5 1/2, but they were too tight so I exchanged for a 6. They are still too snug for thick hiking socks but are just fine with regular socks. The leather is thick and rather stiff but will soften with use.

I tried the Victoria Shortie first but couldn't quite get the right fit so I went with the similar engineer which worked better for me. I'm still amazed that a heavy boot like this was comfortable from the first wearing. Go Frye!

These boots look so tough and chic. The gradations in the color of the leather add character, and I'm sure they will age well. The style goes well with a surprising array of outfits. The only drawback is that they are heavy and because the soles are so substantial, it is difficult to drive in them. Still, they are timeless and beautiful boots.

True to size, but beware they are a little tight to get on the first few times.

I've had this pair of boots for over a year now and it just gets better with time. More comfortable and soft with wear. I plan on getting another pair.

I wanted these boots for the last 2 years so after reading many reviews I finally got them. So very happy I did! They are really great looking boots and I anticipate wearing them for many years to come. I will wear them with with everything from jeans to ride a motorcycle to dresses to go out for drinks in. I ordered my regular shoe size (9.5) and they are a great fit. I sometimes find that boots are tight on my calves but these are perfect. Like many people, I had a tough time getting one of the boots on initially and had to use a plastic bag and break them in. But after only a couple wears they feel great and I can only see them getting better.

This boot is absolute class. it instantly adds an edgy yet classic feel to all outfits. they ARE heavy duty, took a bit of wearing in to be able to drive properly in them. I recommend wearing socks that are high enough so as not to rub the back of your calf raw while breaking these beauties in. they are comfortable from the start. only problem i have is that the right one is a touch harder to put on and pull off. not too bothered by it though. get these, you won't regret it!

These boots rock! These are my first pair of Fryes and they are totally worth the price! I did not have to break these in. In fact I actually wore them around town the first day they arrived. I am normally half a size bigger in boots than pumps/flats/sneakers so I did order these a half size up, 9½. I initially almost ordered a 9 since some reviewers mentioned that Fryes generally are true to size and even run a little big at times. Although many also mentioned that it depends on the cut/style of the boot. These boots totally go with everything and being a woman with larger calves, these are perfect! They do not pinch or squeeze or leave marks like other boots sometimes do to me. And this is also my first Zappos experience and absolutely loved it!

I love these boots. I've had them for 2 years and they have held up well. They fit well, are comfortable (When traveling I've walked around New York City, Seattle, Portland, etc. - no foot pain, no blisters, all good!).

I love these boots! They look great and they are actually pretty comfy. I ordered in my standard size (usually an 8 to 8.5). I went 8.5 as the 8's were super tight on my legs. The 8.5 are a little loose but with bigger socks in the winter they'll be even better. With a standard sock they're even OK. I ordered 4 different pairs of Frye's before deciding on these and they're made in USA and of a really high quality. I can't wait to wear in the years to come!

Love this boot! On the down side, it ran about a half size too small (but I do have a wide foot with a high arch) and by the time I ordered the half size larger, the boot was out of stock. Not really surprising since it is the end of the season. I have bought the boot locally, (for more money) and love it! It is a very comfortable boot, and it has not taken long to break in. This feels like the kind of shoe that I will have and love forever. Frye makes a very good boot.

I really love these boots! Tried the Harness but they didn't flatter my short, wide feet like these did. I am typically a 7.5, which is what I ordered and they fit well. I could almost go down a 1/2 size, but with thick socks, they're great. Really comfortable and I am able to get in and out of them from the start - no trouble getting my feet into them. They look great with boot-cut or skinny jeans.

I usually wear a 7.5, sometimes 8 and I have sort of wide feet. I tried these in a 7.5 and they fit, but I wanted a little more wiggle room in the toe. So I got an 8 and it felt maybe even smaller than the 7.5, so I sent them back in exchange for another 8, which I now wear every day. Love them.

Classic Cool - Love these. As the years made my feet larger, I've outgrown my old ones and just ordered a new now-fit-me size. Don't care how old I get, wearing these with tights and a skirt in the winter are classic. And comfy. And make me feel great. Love Love Love them. Pricey and worth every freaking penny.

Good boot - These are not light, but very comfortable. I bought a half size up from my usual shoe size, but often do that with boots I intend to wear with socks. I'm glad I made this purchase and will wear them to work in and with skirts.

Great looking Boot! I admit I balked at the price of these shoes, but I had heard Frye boots are legendary for lasting forever. I have had these for FIVE YEARS and they look as great as they did right out of the box. I wear mine with long skirts and dresses. They are very comfy with plenty of room for my toes.

I saw these boots in an article in Real Simple magazine. They were paired with a dress. I was interested in having a pair of all purpose boots that had a classic style. After researching the brand I knew they were the best for quality and longevity. I wear a 10.5 and ordered both 11 and 10 in this style. The 11 fit the 10 I couldn't get on at all. The 11's are slightly loose with a bare foot, but I'm sure they will fit better with socks this winter. They are a great looking boot, excellent quality.

The perfect boots! These boots are beautiful and comfortable (even for my slightly wide feet). I was unhappy with the first pair I received because they looked worn, but I exchanged them for a second pair which were perfect (and with advanced exchange, receiving the second pair before I sent back the first!). Thank you Zappos for the excellent customer service! For the boot itself, I have slightly wide calves but they fit very well and are adjustable. The color is a bit muddier than the richer colors found in other Frye boots, but still beautiful. I find the slight tapering from wide base to narrower leg opening to be flattering. Overall, great boot!

Worth the $$$!!! This boot is a perfect fit and true to size. Worth every penny! They are so comfortable and fit nicely under any normal to wide-leg jeans or over tapered jeans. I have very wide feet, so these are a dream come true!
