I'm so happy I finally caved and bought these because I wear them all of the time and am constantly looking for excuses to wear them. They fit perfectly straight out of the box - I've always worn 8.5 in Frye and these were no exception (I tried sizing down to an 8 based on other reviews and couldn't get my foot past the heel). I usually wear medium-thick smartwool socks to help my feet feel snug (and keep them warm) but have worn thinner socks without significant slippage. I did not feel like I had to break these in like other Frye boots - I can pound pavement for hours in these and I find them to be significantly more comfortable than my old Frye Engineer boots. The style is classic and I know I'll keep these for years to come. I couldn't decide between the charcoal and brown so ended up purchasing the color 'Smoke' because I mostly wear a lot of black and gray. The leather is gorgeous, matches perfectly and looks slightly worn in - I was wearing them new out of the box and a stranger said I looked like I had been wearing them for years!

I bought these back in January. They are my second pair of frye boots. These are my favorite by far. Great quality leather, sturdy sole, comfortable to stand in all day. I wear them with everything in any weather.

I love these boots. I bought them last year but they were half a size too big so I gave them to my mother and bought myself a new pair. The old ones vainly had any wear and tear and they actually look better the more you wear them. I'm addicted to frye boots.

I am really enjoying these boots! They definitely take a little while to break in - but it is not too bad. The quality of them is really good

I had my eye on these boots for awhile and finally bought them a few months ago. They are so comfortable but also stylish. I've received several compliments on them. So happy I bought these boots!

I had a pair of these for 10 years, but destroyed them because I didn't care for them well enough. They are my favorite and I literally wear them everyday, with jeans, skirts, whatever.

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 recently purchased the harness 12r in the smoke color size 8 and they are simply said just amazing boots.....I do have to say that I did have some problems at first with two different pairs.....one having two small white lines on the backside of them and then the next pair looking nothing alike.....so because I loved these boots much I did go ahead and order yet a third pair in hopes that they would be ok.....I returned both of the first two pairs with no problems at all and asked that the third be inspected before shipment....the customer service team was the nicest most helpfull folks! From the very start to the end they did the returns very quickly and answered all my questions to the fullest, they refunded my shipping costs( I paid for two day shipping ) and they also refunded me a little for the hassle of getting two pairs of bad boots....in the end a whole team of people had boots shipped to them first, inspected them and then sent me a truly beautiful pair of boots....the leather is so smooth and have such a rich color....I wear between a size 8-8.5 and I ordered a 8 which fit perfect they are very true to size.....they go on hard the first couple of times but do loosen up and are so comfortable on that they dontt even feel like u are wearing boots.....these are like I said simply amazing boots very well worth the money, I am completely in LOVE with them!!! Buy some fryes you will not be disappointed!!!!!!!!

The color of the Smoke washed/oiled leather is gorgeous! I has a brown tint to it which makes it nice to go with browns/blacks/greys. The first pair I ordered, had a discoloration on the shoe portion of the boot, like a paint drip that had run. Needless to say, for the price paid, these were returned. The second pair arrived today...great color and not so great fit. The right shoe is significantly looser than the left. There is one more pair in my size...I re-ordered again and I hope the third pair will be the charm. Otherwise, I may have to try another site or even the Frye Company for satisfaction on these.

I have been lusting after these boots since about 1974 and FINALLY am able to afford them. So sad. BUT... they are all that I wished for!! They are gorgeous, fit wonderfully, arrived in a flash, and I couldn't be happier with them. I get TONS of compliments on them. Envy even. Go get them before forty three years goes by!

When the boots arrived I was so happy because they were even better looking in person than on the computer screen! The leather is so nice and they are well-made. They fit perfectly (true-to-size), and they are very comfortable. I LOVE them!!!

I just received these. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear because of past experience with the Frye Harness Boots. They need stretched in width, but the length is perfect. LOVE THEM!

These boots are amazing. Great arch support. Comfortable. Stylish. A bit heavy. Went 1/2 size down. Normally a 7 1/2, went for the 7 and they stretched perfectly to fit aftef a few hours. The grey is beautiful. Just perfect, absolutely love them.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these boots were, right out of the box! The pair I received was not stiff or hard, and didn't feel like they need "breaking in". The insoles are very supportive and feel great to my feet. I've had the opposite experience with my Western style boots and had to add some cushy insoles, but these Fryes have great insoles! I read many reviews which encouraged ordering a half size up, but I ordered my normal size, 9.5, and glad I did. For me they fit perfectly!! And I have to say, the color, Tan is a great neutral, it's not too brown, not too grey, I would call it a taupe-like color that I really love. And, best of all, I feel really "bad ass" when I wear them ??
