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.

Yes, I'm so happy to write a review! I ordered these boots for my daughter as a birthday gift. We ordered the 9s as the reviews said they ran big. They didn't fit, but Zappos was so great. They sent her a new pair before I even mailed the 9s back; a pair of 9.5s and she is thrilled! They fit great and Zappos was probably the nicest on-line shopping experience I've ever had! The customer care was exceptional and the product is of course great! The boots are gorgeous! My daughter loves them! Zappos was so fast! I ordered one day and boots were delivered the next day! You just can't beat that!

Great boot and great fit. It does run true to size. I had never had a pair of Frye boots and I thought they might be a little tight or stiff. I am usually a 7, but go up to a 7 1/2 on some shoes so I decided to go up on these. They were too big so I exchanged for a 7 and they were perfect. They are a hard boot, but I was surprised at how comfortable they were.

I love these boots!They are worth every penny. I noticed the quality as soon as I took them out of the box. I am a 6.5. I ordered both a 6 and a 6.5 to compare and ended up with my true size of 6.5. I plan on getting a lot of use out of these boots. Thank you Zappos for your easy and free shipping and return policy.

I love these boots! They are comfortable right out of the box, with no breaking in required. I ordered a half size smaller than usual based on the reviews, and they fit perfectly (even with thick socks).

I love these boots. I typically take between a 9 and a 9 1/2 depending on the shoe style and type of sock/stocking I am wearing. I found the size 9 to be perfect. I can easily wear a medium weight sock with the boot and it is very comfortable. The boots feel great and look even better.

I got the Frye boots in red and I love them! I have always admired Frye boots, but have never had any before, so I read a lot of reviews before buying them. I usually wear an 8 1/2, but many of the reviews said they run big so I got them in an 8 and am glad I did. They fit perfectly. They are also quite heavy, which the reviews did warn about, and my calves definitely get a workout when I am wearing them. They are very comfortable, but I would not want to traipse around in them for hours. All in all, they are gorgeous and I am very happy with them!

Great boots! Just as everyone says, these fit somewhere between a half and full size smaller. I normally wear an 8; ordered it and it was pretty large. Exchanged for a 7 1/2 and they seem okay. They are snug in the toes (even with my very flat, narrow feet), especially on the pinkie toe. I imagine they will stretch out, though. They are also quite stiff, but I imagine this will also ease up with some wearing in. The crazy horse color is great, and looks worn in. Thick, sturdy heel. Love these!

I love the Frye Harness boot! It's a classic boot that will never go out of style. You will have these boots for years! Dealing with Zappos was the best part; they have your shoes to you in no time! They are awesome!

I absolutely love these boots. I ordered a half size smaller as recommended in the reviews and they are a perfect fit and very comfortable. These boots are worth every penny paid for them. Go ahead, buy a pair, you won't be sorry.

First I'd like to share I looked everywhere for this boot, prior to leaving on vacation, with no success. Alas, I found them from the comfort of my home at Zappos and they shipped them to my destination spot. I got them in time for my birthday and love them. Frye quality craftsmanship, as always, and fit like a glove, no breaking in period! I'm between a 8-8.5; I wanted to use these boots with pants and to funk up a skirt look and so needed them to fit with tights or regular socks. They must be a little generous as the 8 is a perfect fit. I could wear them with a slightly thicker sock if I take the time getting my foot past the ankle; over time and as the soften up I suspect that'll be easier. The foot is comforted by great molding and the sole takes the impact, not the foot. That surprised me the most! They feel like a good sneaker on the foot. Another review mentioned clunky, I think it's fair to say these aren't a streamlined and conforming boot and when you walk you notice the bend at the ankle-like you've a strong strut. I don't mind feeling that little attitude. I also own the tall, flat heeled black buckle boot by Frye and it conforms whereby you don't notice your walk. I suspect it's the wide and generously thick leather that creates that edge. Don't know if that will change over time, but it's a non-issue for me. Stilettos are my only bug a boo; I prefer not to be on stilts.

I absolutely love these boots. They are very versatile. I wear them with skinny or boot cut jeans. Every time I wear them, I receive a ton of compliments. Most importantly, they are extremely comfortable! I typically wear a size 7 1/2 or 8 in a boot, but wear a 7 in these.

I love these boots! I read many reviews before ordering, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm usually a 7 1/2, and I bought the 7. They fit great. Amazingly, they've never given me any blisters! I expected some, but it never happened. I get tons of compliments on these every time I wear them, and they just seem to get better looking every time I put them on! They look great with my "skinny" jeans. Love them!

Success! These are the best boots ever! I absolutely love the style, feel, workmanship. I can hardly wait until I can afford another pair! But I have to say, persevere with the sizing. It took me three tries to get a good fit, which, finally, is perfect I have to say. I am between a 9 1/2 and a 10 so I ordered a 9 1/2. It was quite large on me, so I then ordered a 9, which was really tight. I was discouraged and thought I would have to choose between one of those two not so great options. Then I ordered another pair, a second pair of size 9 1/2s, and they are perfect. So keep at it if the sizing doesn't work for you at first. And with Zappos' great order/return (free shipping) policy, it was not a problem at all. So, thanks to Frye and thanks to Zappos!

I love these boots! I bought my normal shoe size. I have very narrow feet and they worked pretty well. They are stylish, versatile, and comfortable. They are a bit sleeker and more feminine than in previous years. Love the color and the distressed look.

After being teased by my husband for acting foolish wearing my new boots, we came up with a number. I feel at least 45% more confident wearing these. The style is timeless and they are so well made, you'll feel like a million bucks. They felt a tiny bit narrow at first but have broken in perfectly. They do slip on my heel so I will need inserts. I frequently do those anyway. These are well worth the money! Thanks for helping me avoid the dreaded crowds and malls Zappos.

I am so happy with my purchase of these boots. I can\'t believe I waited so long to buy a pair. I bought a half size smaller just like it said I should and they fit perfectly. The more I wear them the comfortable they get. If you purchase these you will not be disappointed.

Yummy - these are perfect - I have worn them every day and with everything (jeans, skirts, dress pants) since they arrived. They are incredibly comfortable. Yes, I ordered a half size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfectly.

Way to go Zappos. I received my boots within 3 days of odering. They were to small so I reordered the same day and got them in 2 days. Free shipping both ways is unheard of. As for the boots, they are great. They are comfortable, well make, exactly what I wanted. I ordered my regular saze 71/2 but had to go up to an 8. Love love love.

These boots are awesome. They do run large, though. I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered accordingly even though I had read the reviews. Well, they came and were so big I was practically stepping out of them. So I sent them back and ordered a 7. They were tight in the ball of the foot and I debated sending them back, but ended up wearing them and because they were leather, they stretched out (in the ball of the foot) perfectly. I love these boots. Get lots of compliments. Everyone calls them cowboy boots, though.

Like everyone else I got a half size smaller and they are just right especially after wearing them a few times. I have narrow feet and they felt tight but they stretched out quickly and now feel perfect. The correct size would have given me blister and probably always felt like I was swimming in them. I ordered both sizes and wore them around the house for a while, but definitely needed the smaller size. I didn't think they were fantastically comfortable at first, but once you have them on for a while they really are quite comfortable and I feel so fashionable. I get compliments every time I wear them. Even my teenage and college age girls think I am cool.
