Customer Reviews Frye Harness 12R

Believe - When others say they are a 1/2 size too large, believe them. I wear a 7 and when I got the size 7 in these boots they were too long. I am hoping that a 6.5 will fit better. I don't think I own any 6.5 size shoes but this boot was just too long. I have medium width feet and shoes that are true to size require a 7 for me. I also suspect that if I had kept the size 7 they would have stretched out and would have felt even bigger. I tried the size 7 on with thick socks and felt that they were okay but after a break-in interval they would have been huge. If you have a wide foot then your normal size would probably work after they were broken-in.

Awesome Boots! Love these boots - and I'm super picky. I have a damaged nerve on the bottom of my foot, so I have to be really careful about what shoes I wear. I was worried these boots would hurt my foot or just wouldn't be comfortable for me, but NOT SO! I love them. They look awesome and super tough. Love the color too! They are hard to get on though, but standing up to do it helps. They felt true to size for me.

I LOVE THESE BOOTS - They are IMPOSSIBLE (well, almost) to get on the first time you try, but don't give up! Just wear them for a few hours and see how much they relax. I have the gold boots and I would't ususally go for a gold boot, but I love this one. It's not prissy, it's just cool.

Love these boots, give them a try - Unlike most other reviewers, I had no trouble getting these boots on the first time I tried. They have fit comfortably since the first day. I'm in between sizes and often have to try different sizes to get the right fit, so I went with the larger size. I have some Justin boots and although I love how they look, I don't wear them nearly as much as these boots. With those boots, I can't forget I have boots on. With the Fryes, I don't even think about what I'm wearing. Love them.

Better than promised - I read all the reviews before purchasing as a gift for myself. I am thrilled w/them! Yes, they are difficult to get on the first few times, but they easily broke in. They look great (nice weathered finish) and are too cool! I am very happy w/Zappos. And I'm usually an 8 sometimes 8.5 so I got the 8. Fit great, but are narrow in case you have wide feet.

Cowgirl heaven - These are fantastic boots! They look chic yet rugged, and have a totally timeless feel to them; I recommend them 100%. They feel true to size, and after a little wearing in (after all, they are boots!) they'll be comfy as ever. Great for impressing the guys too ;)

Thanks.... I ordered the Frye harness size 8 1/2....my order arrived very quickly and I realized they were too large...I talked to an employee from Zappos, who helped me with my return label which Zappos took care of...thank you...and sent me a 1/2 size smaller before I returned the larger boots... I really appreciated that because I had a Christmas party to attend and was hoping to wear them....they arrived promptly and I returned the larger boots promptly.... They fit great! Look great! And I love doing business with Zappos...they totally take care of the customer....Attitude is everything!!

The reviews are dead-on accurate. In considering this boot, I laughed at the previous reviews and wondered who would be silly enough to keep a boot that was nearly impossible to get on. But then, everyone said it was comfortable once they got it on, and it looks great. I ordered it figuring that if I had trouble getting it on, I'd return it. Not so. It is, as advertised, very tough to get on (especially if, like me, you have high arches). But once it's on it's really comfy, and for some reason it's easy to get off. As for looks - great! Can't beat the look of this leather for a slightly rough look. Great with jeans and skirts. I love this boot, even as I struggle to get it on.

This is a beautiful boot and can actually be worn with casual clothes and some dressy things. I'm used to wearing Born, so I found that they need a little breaking in at the beginning. I have an extremely narrow heel so the heel slips a little on me, but I wouldn't think that that's the norm. I love them!

Love 'em - Love the boots, very comfortable and durable. Highly recommend them.

Love them - Perfect color, very cool looking (I've gotten lots of compliments on them), good fit, comfortable enough to wear all day long. I wanted these for a while and I love them.

Love them... I bought these boots in this color and loved them so much I have since bought all the colors (except gold...that’s not my thing). They fit great right out of he box...I wear a 7 and that’s what I ordered, if I had gone down a half size like they say to it would have been too tight. Everyone should have a pair!!!

Frye boot - Excellent. Arrived right on time, looks, fits perfect.

Great boots - I love these boots! Yes they do slip a little at the heel but boy are they comfortable!! I've worn them to work where I'm on my feet all day and they've never hurt once. I've worn them with jeans and skirts. Great boots!!! I read the comments and ordered a full size smaller and they fit perfect.

Love them! After reading every single review, I opted to get my actual size instead of ordering half a size down since I have a slightly wide foot. I'm glad I did-- a half size down would have been far too narrow in the foot area. Unless you have a very narrow foot, you may want to stick with your normal shoe size. The fit was really weird at first. My left foot (which is a bit bigger) felt fine, but the right heel slipped more than the left, while they felt slightly big overall. I wore them with slightly heavier socks for a day, and then suddenly when I tried them on, they were too tight with the heavier socks! I was then able to wear them with normal socks without a problem. I was expecting the heels to slip, as they are supposed to, which took about a day to get used to. I've had them for about 3 weeks and I am in LOVE with these boots and have been wearing them frequently. I got them in the Dark Brown Crazy Horse, which is a wonderful distressed looking brownish tan color (don't think they'll be dark brown because of the name-- they're not). Overall I'm extremely pleased with these boots and can't wait to get another pair in a different color.

Frye 12 RW - The quality of material and workmanship of this boot is absolutely first rate. These boots are going to wear like iron and be with me for many, many years. Timeless style. I have received many compliments on them. Very stiff and somewhat uncomfortable for first 7 or 8 wearings, but I stuck it out and it was worth it. Fit and feel are wonderful now. My only complaint is they are still tough to get on and off. Top shelf, worth every penny! Thanks Zappos!

My Frye's - The shoes are great! I am usually a nine, so this is what I ordered. They are a tad bit large, but I am able to wear thicker socks so they fit perfectly! An 8.5 would have been much too small. My ONLY complaint is that they are very hard to get off; I get a cramp each time I pull them off! I would totally recommend.

I waited way too long to buy a pair of Frye's, they're great; before I got them out of the box I knew I'd love them. I did order my true shoe size and had to exchange them for a half size smaller. The return/exchange with Zappos is amazing, so fast! I ordered the Dark brown crazy horse and was a little nervous with the color, but it's pretty accurate with the picture. The leather is really soft which makes them easy to walk in, as far as getting them on, it's a little tough, but they have those pulls on the tops of the boot which helps you pull them on. I feel pretty bad *#! when I wear them!!

Debated forever, but I have 'em now and LOVE this boot - I was worried it would be too "butch" but this boot is sexy and beautiful and I love them. I have worn them for a couple of days now and they are already really comfortable. Started out tight in the toe box, but that is loosening up. As comfy as new Dansko's, ultimately this will hold up better and look way nicer.

Frye's Harness 12R W - I am obsessed with these shoes. The only issue, which improves with wear, is getting them on and off - but it is not a huge problem and after the 5th wear it became much easier.

Dark Brown Crazy Horse 12R W - Zappos is sooo great! I just received my new boots in 2 days instead of the anticipated 4-5 days - GREAT! I ordered 1/2 size down from the norm, as recommended by the Frye website, & they fit perfectly! I received them at work & couldn't wait to put them on, so I walked around in them at work for awhile. They were so comfortable walking around the office in them that it made my other work shoes so uncomfortable when I put them back on. I can tell these are going to be a favorite! And, I love the distressed leather - they'll just get better with time. I did give comfort only 4 stars b/c they are a bit difficult to slide on and off, but once they're on, they're great!

Love these boots! The ever fabulous Zappos price matched these boots for me from another website. They fit like a glove and the color is beautiful. The heel is the perfect height. I can't wait to wear them this fall and winter with jeans and skirts.

Can't go wrong with this one! It's a handsome, classic boot. I have wide feet with high arches and ordered a half size down, and these pretty much fit out of the box, though my right instep is a bit wider than my left and the boot is snug (not uncomfortable though). After break-in, I expect years of wear out of these. And they DO look great!

Solid Purchase! I had been contemplating this purchase for awhile and I am glad I went ahead and purchased the boots. They look great for one thing, PLUS they are comfortable!! The boot is a little snug (I have a wide foot) when I slip the boots on (at the point where your ankle will be in the boot), but once they are completely on, they fit great!!

If you want good boots that will last, stick with Frye - I currently have two pairs of these boots -one of them I've owned for 5 years and they've taken quite a beating! I live rurally and these boots can stand up to pretty much anything and still look good. They're incredibly well-made, durable, and attractive shoes. Like any boots, however, you DO have to break them in, which can take a while. I have very wide feet so the boots were initially snug across the top of my foot; they hurt my feet for an initial few weeks of almost-daily wearing, but the leather stretched to accommodate my foot and now they're very comfortable.
