Finally! The boots I've been looking for. They look fantastic, are sturdy, and surprisingly warm. Start without socks until you wear them in...or maybe you'll never wear socks with them. Note: they bleed color on your legs and feet a bit.

These boots are great. They look great with jeans, leggings and dresses. They are super comfortable and the more I wear them the better they are! Frye boots are the best boots I have owned. I purchased these and another pair thinking that I would only keep one, but I ended up keeping both because they are so great. They quality is amazing! The toes are a bit narrow so if you are between sizes I would order up.

These are the most beautiful boots I have ever seen. Period. They are incredibly well made, make your legs look fantastic and can be dressed up with skirts or stand up to a day of riding. They are perfect. They will last a lifetime. I had a problem with a squeaky boot - no problem - Zappos had me a new pair the very next day. I am between 9.5 and 10 and the 10's fit me just right. My foot is a little bit wide (C width in some cases) so someone with a very narrow foot might have a problem with fit. The second pair actually fit better than the first, so there is some variation. I'm also on the shorter side and the 12R was a flattering length for me. Support is good, you might want a light foam insole if you do a lot of standing or walking. The leather might need a little breaking in but overall it's well conditioned and soft. I'm in love.

These boots are great and I can't say enough about Zappos' customer service. I ordered an 8 and they were too big. I had a 7.5 within 36 hours, which made my Christmas weekend and my birthday, thank you Eric. I love them. My heel is very narrow and most shoes slip so I have a heel cup to stop that. Other than that they are a great fit and I plan to wear them forever. Very well made in the USA, yay!

These boots are smoking hot! I have long wanted these boots and finally took the plunge. They are well worth the price and I wish I had gotten them sooner! They look good with a skirt or with skinny jeans. The quality of the workmanship is excellent! They were comfortable right out of the box, too! Zappos has the very best service, no one else compares to them. Love, love these boots!

These are gorgeous. Try slipping them on with a thin sock, and a plastic bag over your foot. I was unable to get my foot in without the bag, but once in the boot the leather will stretch with a few hours of wear and taking on and off. Love these boots! The comfort is not a 5 star IMO, but I am using NAOTs and Birks as a comparison. For a boot they are not bad.

I bought a pair of these boots from another retailer about 15 years ago, and am still wearing them. It is absolutely true that they get better with age. I am going to buy a second pair now and hope they are the same quality. If that's true, I'll be wearing them at least until I am 65! In fact, I will probably be buried wearing Frye boots.

Love these boots. Comfortable from first wear. Lots of compliments. Casual to dressy, soft durable leather, will be with me a long time I can tell.

I have the Frye Engineer, Campus, Deborah and Sabrina. The Harness beats them all. It is my go-to boot.
I have it in tan, and it is very easy to integrate into my everyday wardrobe. The style is perfect, the heel not too high and it is very comfortable to wear. I have flat feet, and usually wear a size 7 to 7.5, and the 7.5 Harness fit my foot.
If I had to choose just one Frye boot this would be it.

Like many other reviewers I have wanted these boots for years but held off because they are expensive no matter where you buy them. I finally decided to treat myself and get them. I read many of the reviews on Zappos and Amazon. I am a 7.5 to 8, depending on the shoe so because of a bunion on my left foot I decided to go with the 8. The boots arrived today and while they are lovely I think the 8 is just too big so I re-ordered a 7.5 and will compare them to the 8's. Unlike some of the other reviewers I had no trouble sliding my feet into these boots or taking them off. I was also surprised that the 2 inch heel doesn't feel high at all as I'm a ballet flat or flip-flop person. Hoping, hoping that the 7.5's work. I highly advise others to heed the advice of most of the reviews and order at least a half size smaller than you normally wear.

I love these boots! They were comfortable immediately! I wore them all day the 1st day I got them! These boots are an investment that will last for many many years and only continue to look better & better with age!

I had been wanting these boots forever and was always borrowing my friend's so I splurged an finally bought them. They took over a week to get to me which was upsetting. I called Zappos wondering where they were and they explained to me that at your first purchase they have to verify that your credit card matches your billing address and that contributed to why my boots took longer to receive. Because I didn't get them in the 3-5 business days they gave me a coupon and a VIP pass. The employee was super nice and these boots are hot! I can't wait to rock them at coachella and all summer long!

I received these boots last week. Love the look!
I'm a solid 8M with a high instep, and I've had to wear size 8.5 boots in the past. However, these Fryes are perfect for me.

Really great boots! I love the look. We spent a weekend in Boston a couple of days after I received these boots. I wore them all day walking around museums and then out at night. They looked very cool and they were surprisingly comfortable. I'm still breaking them in though and my feet are a bit tired after a full day of wear. If you're going to be comfortable in these, I think you have to give them lots of wear at first.

I've been coveting these boots for four years and finally took the plunge. Fantastic! Skirts, jeans, sun, snow - sexy yet functional. I wear an 8.5-9, and ordered the 8.5. Fits great, a little roomy but I have orthotics so they are perfect. I have worn White s boots for work for 10 years and these are every bit as comfortable.

I've coveted these boots for years now, and finally splurged. So glad I did! They definitely kick butt. I ordered a half size smaller than normal, like many other reviewers, and they fit perfect.

Like many others, I had these on my wishlist for years! I finally took the plunge in 2008 with the financial assistance of my mom for my birthday! I got the Crazy Horse in my usual size of 7½ and they were perfect! The color is great and distressed and so the little dings and scratches I have contributed through the years have only added character! I have high arches and these are quite comfortable. My husband still has to help me pull them off, but it is worth it! I do not wear them very regularly though, so more frequent wearers may break them in more effectively. I am definitely more of a casual dresser, and I love how these boots add a relaxed-yet-sexy vibe to skirts and dresses. Of course they go perfectly with jeans, too. I can tell they will last forever. Now my wishlist is full of various other Frye styles (Paige riding, Melissa button, etc)! And Zappos was amazing, because I ordered several styles at once, including cavalry, heath side zip, and traditional campus, but the harness 12R was the pair for me and returning all the others was super easy!

I absolutely love these boots. This is my first pair of Fryes and wow are they awesome. You can really tell that they are well made and built to last. I did order half a size down and they fit great. You can rock these all day without having to pay for it later. They are so comfortable. I have yet to wear these boots without getting many compliments me on them! Zappos sent them to me so quickly. I love you Zappos!

So disappointed these didn't fit. Once I receive credit to my PayPal account I'll try a size bigger than I ordered.

These boots are wonderful - but my daughter needed a full size smaller. They have a lot of room in the heel. Return & reorder took about 20 minutes!

I purchased these boots last year and have been in love with them ever since. They are even softer and more comfortable this year. I use saddle soap on them to keep them looking new but can wear them all day in comfort. I get compliments on them all the time.

My perfect boot...except for the fact that the right boot was about a 1/2 inch shorter than the left! Will have to return them, but that's okay because these boots are worth the hassle. I'm 5'4, 130# small framed woman, these boots do not swallow me like the Frye harness 15R I recently returned. I'm usually a size 7 but went with the 6.5. Glad I did. Also, Zappos is fantastic, so feel good about ordering from these folks. Very fair and excellent customer service.

A very gorgeous boot! I wear them everyday when it's chilly out. The vintage leather can be worn with black and brown, a plus for me! I have narrow feet so I have to wear a thicker sock to keep my foot from sliding around.

Pucker up Clint Eastwood, here I come!
Even better than I imagined in person, (and they looked pretty awesome in the photos) these are the most gorgeous boots I have ever seen. You feel like a hot bandit babe the moment you pull them on your feet and twirl around in front of the mirror. I ordered these on a whim just because they looked so slick, fully hoping that they wouldn't fit so I would be forced to send them back, (they are a tad on the extravagent side in the price department.) No such luck! they fit great, a bit narrow perhaps, but nonetheless I am willing to suffer a bit have the privelege of strutting around in these bad boys! A girl's dream come true! Buy them!

A well made boot--worth every penny. Looks great with bootcut jeans. The leather is too thick to wear in warmer months. But, I can't wait until fall...
