Unfortunately I had to return the boots because they were too small and not what I expected .

I've wanted these boots for years and finally bought them. Not one regret, even at the price. They are my seventh pair of Frye boots. The break in period was short, and they get more comfortable every day. I ordered a 7 and 1/2 which is my normal size. They felt a little big, so I stuck in some cushy insoles which tightened up the fit and gave me some extra comfort. Easy as pie to get on and off. I totally love these boots!

Just here to say I bought these boots 15 years ago and I still wear them to this day. They are worth every penny!

I have very wide feet, so I wasn't at all surprised that these boots were too narrow, but I didn't expect them to be sooooo narrow. My old Frye boots did stretch out, so these should too. I have largish calves, and I was pleased that the circumference is big enough- just. They do run large in the foot. The leather quality is very good. I am excited to break them in and wear them!

I have a somewhat wide foot. Typically 9 in sneakers, 9.5 in heels and 9-10 in boots. I originally ordered a 9.5. Had more heel slippage than I thought necessary. Ordered the 9.0 (fab customer service with Zappos!) and decided the 9.0’s were best. I also noticed the same boot cane in very different boxes. I’m thinking the pair I kept, 9.0, had been tried on enough to have warranted some stretching. Also, I’m thinking if you have wide calves, this ain’t your boot. Beautiful boots and glad I splurged.

Okay so I was so excited when I got these boots yesterday II Brown pair I got it an eight and they were perfect I read the recommended size reviews that suggested that the person wore an 8 and they went down a half size and it still fit. Unfortunately, that did not work for me at least at this point. I wore the boots to try to break them in and I am going to try them for another day before I hopefully I won't have to return them I used to wear a seven and a half before I had kids now I wear an eight seven and a half eighth so I'm hoping that these boots really stretch to a comfort level. the heel width is fine, it's the wide part of my foot and the initial putting on. I think I should have ordered a 7.5 wide I think that would have made the difference.

I ordered and returned several pairs of these because I kept receiving ones that were scratched up, or had black marks or glue on them. I have given up and will try ordering directly from Frye. Bummer, because I usually have great luck with Zappos shoes. On the upside, they seem like a great pair of boots. I agree with the suggestions to order half a size down (unless you have a very wide foot, in which case that probably isn't a good idea - they are a bit narrow near the toe).

These were nice boots - I got the 8R instead because the 12R hit just a little too high on my calf. Not an issue if wearing it with bootcut jeans, but didn't like the look as much in skinny jeans.

I normally wear a size 9 in boots. I own a pair of Harness 8R and they ran big so I ended up with a size 8.5. For the Harness 12R, they ran even bigger and I bought size 8. The Harness 12R also ran more narrow than the 8R. And for both the 12R and 8R I had to buy multiple pairs to find both a left and right foot boot that fit the same. I'm amazed that Frye does not have better quality control on sizing. Now that I have matching fit for both left and right boots however, I love these and they have been comfortable to wear all day straight out of the box!

Beautiful boots but I had to try 4 different pairs before I got the right fit. I think because these are hand made each pair fits a little bit differently.

I really wanted to like these boots. They are so stylish! However the shaft is really wide and floppy--much wider than the same boot in brown I had tried on. I was amazed at how poorly these boots were packaged. I have ordered a lot of boots at many different price points and these had less packaging than any others I have seen and it was quite disappointing to see a $300 pair of boots basically all wadded up when I got them. Going back.

Received these boots as a birthday gift. They look great and I hope to have them forever. They are a little narrow and I am hoping that with time they loosen up. They are otherwise comfortable and I didn't expect to like them as much as I do! I had to size down a half size.

This boot is absolutely beautiful!! Love the style, love the color, love everything about it... except the width. Holy moly, I've never had a boot foot so narrow on my foot. I don't have wide feet, but my poor toes were screaming. So sad, such beautiful boots.

I owned a pair of these as a kid. I always wanted another pair as an adult. I have worn my new pair several times riding on the bike with my husband and around town eating out and at a picnic. The leather is soft and the boot is comfortable. I have to hold the boot and my foot just right to pull on since there is no zippered access. I am ready to purchase more colors of the same boot. I have another style of Frye boots I have owned for 15 years and they are still one of my favorite pair of boots. Worth the price!

I bought these awhile ago, and they are holding up well. The leather is rich and the style is timeless. Didn't take long to break in.

My all around " I look great boots." . Great design. Goes well with pretty much everything I own style wise. Wears well with a knit dress, jeans or yoga pants. I get a lot of compliments with these boots everywhere I go.

I overall really like the style of this boot, but I'm unhappy with how heavy they are on my feet. While sitting at my desk at work with my legs crossed I can really feel the heaviness to the point my leg starts to hurt. I do enjoy everything else about the book such as the style, fit and color. I'm debating returning them for a different style.

Good quality but my 11's were too large and I'm not sure I like the square flat point at the tip. For larger feet it looks long, like a clown.

The first time I put them on it was very hard to get my heel in, but once in the boot it was a comfortable fit. I was used to my old broken in Frye's. They came off easily so I hope next time putting them on goes a little smoother. It literally took me minutes to put each boot on. Fabulous quality and construction though and as I said, a very nice fit once on.
