Customer Reviews Frye Harness 12R

I have owned a pair of these boots for several years and I just love them. I bought another pair as a gift to my mom, who also loves them!! They are so classic and will last a lifetime. Definitely worth the investment!!!!

I have searched for the perfect boots for awhile and actually ordered several different styles and colors from Zappos. Their service was wonderful and efficient as always...I finally decided on the Frye Harness boot in Crazy Horse and IT IS PERFECT!!!!! I ordered a size down which fit just right and they were comfortable as soon as I put them on - they look like I've had them for years and I plan owning them forever!!

I LOVE this boot! I am pretty much always a 9.5 in shoes and when I received the 9.5 they were a little too big but Zappos had the 9 shipped out to me the next day! I ordered them in the chocolate vintage and I love the color.

Excellent boots. So glad I bought them. Can wear them to work, can wear them out. Well constructed, leather wears well. Surprisingly comfortable. Other reviews I read before buying said I'd cry every time I wear them... this was not my experience, even from first time wearing. I wear with a decent pair of socks (thin hiking socks) and have had no problems at all. In fact, I even walk my dogs in them when I get home from work!

I hoped to get these for Christmas. So glad I treated myself! They're beautifully made and 'crazy horse brown' is a beautiful distressed golden brown pebbly leather. Usually wear a 9 1/2. Ordered a 9 and they're perfect. I wear orthotics which fit perfectly. After reading some of the other reviews I thought they would take a while to break in. Mine felt great from the first time I put them on. The upper portion is not too wide and looks neat and trim with leggings and skinny jeans. They should be a staple in any well dressed woman's wardrobe! I only wish I could wear them to work but they are a bit too rugged for my particular workplace.

Beautiful boots, very well-made. I had to order a size up because they do fit a bit narrow for my wide feet. However, other cowboy boots I have bought take a while to break in, so I am expecting that to be the case here, too.

I originally wanted more of a biker boot so I ordered a pair of the Angel boots from Lucky I totally loved them online and finally built up my courage and my funds and ordered them. I am not a big person and they came up almost to half way up my knee and they were as big in the calf as my wellies. I have a girlfriend that griped for years about how boots are too tight in the calf and she couldn’t wear them and was distraught, and apparently the fashion world heard her cry and gave up on the rest of us. Well, with tears in my eyes I had to return them and resume my search. Frye boots have intrigued me for some time, the style is a classic, the quality is impeccable and I couldn’t be happier. The leather is AMAZING and as another reviewer wrote, the toe box is a little tight when you first get them, but the leather stretches in the first wearing. The color is amazing and just gets more and more amazing with every wear. I ordered a 7 1/2 as many people were saying that they run a little big and it’s perfect, I’d say I’m usually an 8. I completely love them and they are great for a night out under a pair of jeans. I wear these boots because I can’t wear heels, I have arch issues, and while I doubt these will cure that, and I haven’t attempted to insert my orthotics (never thought I’d use the word "orthotics" while I’m still in my 20s Oy!). They are quite comfortable and the men I associate with who are much more fashion conscious than I am, commented at the first sight of them. I believe the comment was something like, "Wow Alli! Nice boots!" Apparently a step up from my Orthopeodic-functional footwear. I don’t tuck my pant-legs into them, but I guess it could work. I love these boots, they’re just great quality.

These boots are great!!! I usually wear an 8.5 -9, but these boots run big and size 8 ended up being what fit... so order a size down.

I lived in these boots back in 1969- 1974 -- you remember Woodstock, Viet Nam, The Revolution.... So I bought a pair for myself, and my wife. Sure I can\'t bring back the summer of 69' nor can I make the bald spot on my head fill with once what was shoulder length hair, but our feet sure feel great. True fit, old friends, and the attitude lives on...

These are awesome boots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The craftsmanship and quality are the best and they took no break-in time! The distressed leather is soft and comfortable. (I also have the shorter 8 in. harness in smooth leather and it took significantly longer to break in.) I wear these boots with skirts and all styles of jeans from skinny's to flares and they look great with everything! Just as perfect with a jeans skirt or for adding edge to a classic velvet pencil skirt.

These boots rock!! They are a little tough to get on though - especially if you have high arches, I'd recommend ordering a half size larger than your normal size.

I am thrilled with these boots!! You can tell how well-made they are from the moment you take them out of the box. Incredible workmanship! I wore them for 8 hours the first day without any problems. They are extremely comfortable. I normally wear a 6 1/2 but I ordered a 6 - they fit perfectly. I would highly recommend them - so very, very fashionable for many outfits from skinny jeans to hippie dresses. If you might be worried that they look too masculine, don't. They do not look clunky at all. LOVE these boots!!!

I have several pairs of Frye boots (as well as shoes) and they are always a favorite. These are no exception! Loved them the moment I put them on. This is the third pair of harness boots I have purchased and the fit is consistent. I usually wear a 7 1/2 or an 8. They run a tad on the larger side so all my purchases are in 7 1/2 and they fit great. They are comfortable right from the box and just get better over time. Classic. Never go out of style so they are well worth the money. And Zappos service is dependable and excellent!

These are really great boots. I typically have to order a half size up due to a bunion, but I didn't with these. They aren't extra wide, but the leather moves with your foot each time you wear them. They are really comfortable and I get compliments every time I wear them. I feel more "polished" than when I wear my Uggs (which I love too). Being 5'2" this was a good size for me since it is not comfortable when boots hit at the bend in my knee. I should ask for a pair of Fryes every year for Christmas. I love them.

I love these boots and have gotten so many compliments when I wear them. I did read the reviews of others prior to ordering so I did indeed order the right size. My normal size is a 6.5 or 7. I ordered a 6.5 and they are perfect. The other reviews suggested to go smaller rather than larger. They are thick leather and there is a spot that needs to wear in a bit, but not bad that I cannot wear from day one.

It's a great style, great quality boots with the perfect Zappos service. It is a unbeatable combination for shopping! Although I truly enjoy going out for shopping when it comes to shoes I prefer online shopping at Zappos. The only little problem I observe was the inner side of the harness gave me a rush since it was rubbing onto calf-part of my leg. Other than that I love my boots and I truly enjoy shopping at Zappos.

This purchase was my second pair of Frye boots. I love them. The best thing for northeast cold, damp weather. Stylish, comfy and practical.

Great boots. Can't beat Frye comfort, style and durability. I ordered a half size down and they fit perfectly. These boots will be stiff for about 3 days until broken in and then they will be molded to your feet. I wear them all of the time (bought the black and later the brown). You simply cannot beat Zappos for customer service and shipping. A winning combination!

Waited for well over a year to buy these. Every time the new catalog would arrive, I\'d find the page with these boots listed, then read and re-read the description. Finally decided my husband was buying them for me for Christmas. I am so happy I finally ordered them! They are true to size, very comfortable to wear, and look great. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Just received these boots in the Vintage Chocolate Brown and they are totally fantastic! I did have to send my first pair back because after reading the reviews I did order a half size down. I almost couldn't get the 7.5 on! I exchanged them for the 8 and Zappos had them here the next day! Anyway, they are a sassy "rough and tumble" looking boot, but look darling with denim skirts! If you're trying to decide on color, go with the Vintage Chocolate, you won't be disappointed. They are a bit stiff, but like other reviewers have said, they will soften up with a bit of wear.

These are the best boots I have ever owned. I bought them because they are functional in nasty weather but still look cute. This color works well with blacks and browns. They are very versatile and comfortable.

I love Frye harness boots-- I have both 12R\'s and 15R\'s. Both pairs of boots are just amazing and completely worth the money. It is immediately apparent when you open the box and put them on that they craftsmanship is exceptional. They feel sturdy, but are also really comfortable for as tough as they are. I have worn them in an active setting and not gotten blisters or sore feet. I wear them casually or out on the town and they\'re so cool and tough looking, I get a lot of compliments. They are pretty warm and I wear them in the winter and they keep the cold and wet out. I love knowing that this boot is almost indestructible! I also love the history of the company. I love everything about these boots and would buy a pair in every color if I could.

Love these ! I have the black but had to get the brown. This brown is a wodnerful mottled leather that looks aged even before you put them one. The height and size is good and they wear well.

Love them! When I first tried these on I was disappointed. They were so stiff & uncomfortable. However, after walking around in them for a bit, they really started to loosen up. They aren't cushy like athletic shoes or anything, but they are no longer uncomfortable at all and they look fantastic! I did have to order a half size down.

I really like these boots. They're good for the winter weather. I'm normally size 6 to 6 1/2. I bought size 6. The only problem is that they're a little hard to put on. It's getting easier as they break in. I'm looking forward to wearing them when I go motorcycling.
