Customer Reviews Frye Harness 8R

Runs long and narrow.

too wide at the top

After returning a size 8 1/2, I ordered an 8. Really weird how the left felt perfect but the right boot hurt my foot. Awesome boots but I really feel like something was off with the right boot. I have never had this problem with the many cowboy boots I own.

The boots are the quality I expect from Frye. I have several different boot styles, and I will say this harness style runs narrow and I have narrow feet. The leather is beautiful and I’m sure they will loosen with wear.

I was so excited to get a pair of Frye boots I got in a pair when I was a teenager and still happens to to this day I just had them resoled. I can't wear them anymore because they're the leather started working out but these boots I love them I love them I love them they're really nice fit their little wide I wear an 8 so I'm a true size 8 and I thought they were going to be really big and heavy but they weren't it was kind of a tight squeeze when I first put them on but once I put them on the fit was perfect. I could not wear them with my thick socks though I'm hoping at some point I will be able to once they are completely broke it in.

The fit was good, but I wasn't a fan of the distressed color. I ordered them in a tan brown too, which I like better. Overall the boot looks great, it's just a personal preference on the look.

These boots are beautiful and VERY well made. There is pride in the workmanship and it shows. I typically wear a 6.5 and ordered that size first. WAY too big for me. My feet slipped all over the place. So I ordered a 6. I wore them in the house for several days and even though I adjusted to the heel slippage, the fit still didn't work for me. The wide part of my feet would slide towards the front of the boot and get squished. So sadly, they are getting returned. Now that I know the high quality this brand produces, I will definitely try other styles.

I love the boots. I have pretty awful feet (bunions, etc) and these boots were really comfy. However, each of the boots had a wrinkle on the leather of the foot bed, which is unacceptable, especially at the high price. Zappos came through and have reordered an exchange pair for me. Thanks Zappos!

Beautiful boot! Quality craftsmanship. True to size. I wear a 10, ordered a 10. Very slightly snug across widest part of foot (which you want in a leather shoe). Heel "slip" was appropriate and comfortable. I don't believe I would've had a problem. Plenty of toe space. Returning because 1) it looked goofy on me with skinny jeans/leggings (size 8, 5'6", very "average") 2) seemed to force me to walk on the inside of my feet. I have inner knee problems and this put extra pressure on them. Would have had to put a high arch insole to level out my stride 3) EXTREMELY difficult to put on, and I'm not being dramatic!!! I am sure that this would get easier with time, but maybe not. I have another pair of Frye that was the same level of difficulty when I first got them and 5 years later, they are still a little cumbersome to get on and off. Ordered these from Zappos before 2pm and got them the next day by noon!! I ended up getting a pair of women's Durango harness and was pleased as punch straight out of the box. I have 2 other Frye's and love them. These just didn't cut it for me. Looking for a shorter shaft, will try the Veronica short next.
