Customer Reviews Frye Harness 12R

Wow, these were so surprisingly small. I normally wear an 8.5, but I will need a 9.5 in these to even wear thin socks. They are pretty narrow in the foot bed and calf (they just reach the undercurve of the muscle) Leather and workmanship is great, color is true. But too small!

Great fit boot with quality detail. I have many pairs of Frye boots and this is one of my favorite. Does run 1/2 size bigger, I normally wear and 8 and ordered a 7.5 which fit perfectly.

These are simply the best of the best! I already own 2 other pair of Melissa button and harness but these are comfortable the first time on! I think there will not be a lot of breaking in! I ordered the charcoal color and they are stunning! Order your true size - wear them around without socks so the leather will mold to your feet - you will love them!!

This is a great boot. Like many reviewers, I have wanted to buy a pair of Fryes for a long time but was put off by the price. Let me tell you, they are worth it! I bought this boot in my normal size and like many reviewers, my heal did slip a little but in a boot it is supposed to do that. I also have a slight bunion on one foot and had no pain after wearing the boots around the house for about 2 hours thanks to the squarish toe box. Hurrah! Really like that this particular boot is made in America.

I love these with my whole heart. I've been wearing them about 2-3 weeks, and barely wear anything else. I initially ordered my regular size 9.5, Too tight! Then I returned those and ordered a 10. Too big! Ordered a 9.5 again and -- bingo! -- perfect. Not sure if this is a quality control issue or natural variation in the leather, but whatever it is... I'm glad I persevered! My advice to you if you're checking these out and aren't sure of the size is to order your regular size -- but don't be afraid to order up, or down, or SAME size, if need be. Super-comfortble, look hot, plan to have them for a decade or two. So glad I splurged on these.

I love these boots! I've resoled mine 3X...last time he put a Vibram sole on them and it's perfect since it snows where I live. I can where them all day and be comfortable. Buy a 1/2 size smaller than you normally wear. I'm getting another pair in Black, have the Brown now and love them!

Frye boots are amazing and well-made, but these weren't the right style for me. I ended up going with the knee-high Melissa Button Boot with a backzip, which were more versatile for me.

Ordered a 9.5 (my usual size.) Too small. Ordered a 10. Too big. Ordered another 9.5. Perfect. Moral of the story? If you don't find a perfect fit, keep at it. There is variation within sizes. Good luck!

I ordered both the 8.5 (my normal shoe size) and the 9 to compare - the 9 fits better, so for me these boots run a bit small. That said, I also tried them on with thick socks because I planned to wear these in the winter. Quality looks great! I didn't get a chance to test that out, though, because I am returning these boots for a different style. Frye's description says that this style "needs a certain type to make this boot her own". Apparently, I'm not that type. These were just too heavy and clunky for me. Nothing against the style in general, these boots just didn't fit in my wardrobe. If you are looking for an edgy boot, give these a try!

Like others, I was concerned about the fit of these boots. After trying on several pairs of Fryes at local stores (nobody had the Harness, though, or else I wouldn't be here!) I decided to try an 8.5 (my "normal" size) and a 9. The 8.5 was uncomfortably tight around the ball of my foot, and due to the thickness of the leather I had doubts about how much they'd stretch. Then I put on the 9. It was a Harry-Potter-gets-his-wand kind of moment. Perfect fit. So comfy I didn't want to take them off. I highly recommend this site's tips for boot fitting if you need more empirical points of confirmation: http://www.sheplers.com/custserv/custserv.jsp?pageName=BootFitGuide

Love the boots! I purchased the cognac washed oiled vintage boots and just love the color. Because I have a neuroma in my right foot, I did order a half size up to accommodate a wider foot bed. With my thick socks it works perfectly! As anyone with foot problems knows, it is very difficult to find something that is comfortable. Thanks Zappos for your support.

First, I love all Frye boots, and these are probably my 8th pair. I love the slight heel on these boots, which dress them up a little and make my motorcycle chaps look better. I bought them to ride in because they keep my feet completely dry and warm. My husband has lace up Harley boots and his feet get cold. I bought the buckskin suede boots because I already had black boots and wanted to mix it up a little. But what I really love about these boots is where I bought them; Zappos. I had previously bought the same boots in a shorty style but my husband told me that they would not be safe enough for the bike in case of an accident. They were too short to stay securely on my feet, which he proved by easily pulling one off. I had already pulled off all the tags, and had thrown away the receipt and the box but I decided to contact Zappos to ask if I could still return them. I did the online contact and had someone on the line right away. She not only informed me that I could exchange my boots, but found a similar pair that were taller and had them sent right out, two day free shipping. I was then given a page to printout for the old boots, and after wrapping them up as I was told by the assistant, I mailed them off to Zappos. I paid $10 more for my new boots, which the assistant also took care of on the spot. I've always received great service from Zappos, but this time they went far above what they had to do to make me a satisfied customer. I can't wait to need another pair of shoes from Zappos. Well done.

I love them, but they're too narrow. :'(

Have you been thinking of buying these but holding back? Stop that right now. Buy these boots. Wear them with everything.
