You can’t find a more durable boot. I have had this style boot by Frye for many years. They stand up to the test of time. Always very comfortable and by far the best boots I own.

I purchased the charcoal Harness 12R used, but in great shape. They are broken in perfectly, and I even like the random scratches on the leather. I do not know how old they are, but see the same exact ones are still sold new (for almost twice what I paid for them). I needed a pair of dark gray boots, as most of my boots are black. These will go with any shade of gray to black, and with any shade of jeans, and any color leggings, for that matter (they look great with my tie-dye leggings!). I usually wear a 6 1/2, but tried the 7 M because it was the only pair they had. It fit with room to wear thicker socks, if needed. My foot has just the right amount of room in the toe, and the width is perfect (even in the calf area). Any smaller and I may have needed a second person to get them off of me!

Very disappointed in the color. I have the smoke old town and love them. Super comfy, broken in, wear them almost every day. Just bought the tan because I wanted them in a different color. When they arrived, I placed the two pair of boots side by side, and my kids said, mom, why did you buy the same color boots??? the Tan color of the boots I received is not like the color that is in the picture at all.. ugh

Received our 12R Boots last week, my girlfriend and I both are so pleased, awesome boots, excellent product. We both have several of the FRYE products, 5 Star on value, looks, quality and craftsmanship.

I have had these boots for 6 years and I've worn them almost everyday from fall until spring. They have been the best pair of boots I've ever had. They pair well with most outfits and are durable. I just cleaned and conditioned them and they look brand new again! The sole is seriously hardcore and has barely worn down. They are heavy boots and for me run a little bit big but that works well since i wear thick socks in the winter.

I bought these boots 10 years ago as a loving gift to myself. I still wear them regularly. They are very versatile and very comfortable. I get lots of compliments on them every time I wear them. I often wear them with skirts and dresses, when traveling, as my warm and cozy shoes for going to the movies or other air-conditioned places… other leather shoes fall apart in a tropical climate but these seem to be standing the test of time. They are not moldy, they have not delaminated, the heel is not made of some mystery plastic that eventually crumbles and dry rots... I am starting to believe that Frye products are worth their premium price. I would probably work my sheep ranch in them based on their durability and comfort, but given the price (they’ve gone up $100 since I purchased them) I tend to want to save them for ‘town shoes’ to make them last as long as possible. Highly recommend this purchase!

I have a pair of these I purchased secondhand, and they are so gorgeous I bought a new pair for my mother on her birthday. The leather is extremely high quality, as is the overall boot construction. I own a black and brown pair of these boots and they are my primary shoes, nothing else I have owned measures up! They do run slightly narrow, so you may need to size up depending on the proportions of your feet.

Got my boots in last night. They fit PERFECTLY. I love the Smoke color. I can wear with black or brown and it coordinates well. The weight is not too heavy. The leather is pretty stiff, but I anticipate will loosen up with time. I look forward to seeing how the leather ages.

I purchased 2 pairs to replace mine that are more than 10 years old. These boots are the best made...period. They only get better with age and scars.

I have loved these boots for years and finally purchased them . I absolutely love them . I wear a seven and ordered a six and a half and seven as a lot of the reviews reported they ran big . Both fit but the seven was not tight in the toe and yes both pair the heel moves but this is normal for this type of boot . The tan was perfect thought it was going to be too light it is gorgeous. Timeless boot which will last a lifetime for me . Not heavy at all and very comfortable. Love Them !!!!

These are my first pair of Frye's I've been eyeing for a few years. I finally pulled the trigger and purchases the smoke. Love the color and feel and am excited for them to be worn in.

My husband gave me a pair of these for Christmas maybe 10 years ago now, and they are still my favorites. Super comfortable, looking great, and I always feel confident wearing them, the way they clack when I walk. So good!

I have a bit of a boot collection and these are my favorites. I've wanted them for years and my only regret is not purchasing sooner. I thought they would look weird on my narrow calf which is most of why I held off but they look fine. I went a half size down and they were a bit narrow in the toes with thicker socks but they are quickly breaking in very nicely. I'm happy with the size choice & I look forward to many fine years with these beauties.

I've had these boots for 8 years. They look brand new. I have worn them on job sites (I'm a civil engineer), with dresses, with jeans, and they are still amazing. I am usually a 9 in Frye but with these I had to go with an 8 1/2. Also, they are probably the heaviest of all my Frye boots, so try these on before purchasing if you're sensitive to weighty boots. The leather is so tough that I don't think these will ever wear out. I've had them reheeled once. It is a heavy, quality boot that is SO worth the purchase.

I bought my first pair of Frye boots in 2002 and still to this day they look as good as they did the day I got them. Excellent quality and very well made and made to last in the USA. These boots will probably out last me! Look great with jeans in the fall and winter months. Even though I don’t wear skirts I have seen ladies who do wear these with skirts. These boots are just all around badassery!! Buy a pair you won’t regret it!

This is my second pair of Frye harness boots. My others are over 8 years old and just keep getting better. The calf of these new ones was much tighter than my old pair but they are stretching quickly to be more comfortable. I love these shoes.

I've had these for years... Wear them probably 75% of the time I leave the house through all seasons! So comfortable and really go with anything, dress them up or down. I will keep buying these for life (not that you need to because they're so well made they last forever).

These boots are stylish and functional. I usually buy a size 7.5 in Frye boots but these felt about 1/2 size big. I’m keeping them to see how they work with thick socks. If I develop a blister, I will return for a size 7.

I love these boots. They’re well made, durable and I love how they look. This is the second time I’ve purchased them, this time in a different color. I do tend to order a half size up for Frye boots, e.g., I’m typically a size 8 but I ordered an 8.5 and they fit perfectly.
