Rugged quality boot.....
This boot is easy to slip on. Compared to my other boots it did require using a thinner sock. It could be the harness construction or maybe the stiffness of new leather. Nonetheless, it is a great, sturdy boot by far!!!

The best boot money can buy -
This is the third time Ive bought these Frye boots. I have never worn a better boot. Highest quality imaginable. Tight at first but the will conform nicely. Truly timeless design.

Short boot--not short on Quality and Good Looks -
I bought this boot for riding my motorcycle. It is very comfortable and the rubber sole helps me keep my balance when stopped or "walking" the bike. They are a bit tight putting on and taking off because of the strap across the top. There is not much give there. It does scrape the top of my feet. These boots are solid and rugged, yet comfortable right out of the box-no break in required. I would recommend this classic boot to anyone looking for comfort, quality, durability, and good looks.

Tight -
For a 12 they are just a tad tight, even though I wear other shoes in size 12 and they feel perfect. Being a tad tight makes it a little uncomfortable (after long periods) and a pain to put on. Great shoes nevertheless; They look great!

Style and Quality -
I've bought Frye's before so I knew the quality was worth paying a little more. Frye's are really some of the most comfortable well made boots out there. I did have a bit of trouble with the size. I usually take a 10.5 but this seemed to slip a bit in the heel so I settled on the 10. It's a bit tight by the toes, but I'm hoping that it will stretch a bit over time. The look of these boots is fantastic and I've gotten plenty of compliments. I'm sure I'll own these boots for a very long time - the harness is just a great classic look.

Goes very well with blue jeans -
Excellent buying experience. Your staff is very friendly and accomodating. I ordered what I think my shoe size is but this boots were 1/2 size bigger. Your staff responded to my exchange request immediately and shipped me the next smaller size. Thanks.

The harness boot is very good looking, the one drawback is that initially, it is very difficult to put on. The area of the harness takes a bit of getting used to when placing the foot inside. Other than that I am very pleased with this boot.

Unusual fit -
I normally wear size 11.5 or 12, but the only size I could fit into was a size 13. I feel like Frankenstein walking around in them as they are big boots.

Ugh!
The boots looked nice and the leather seemed to be of good quality, but after wearing them all day I noticed my one foot started going numb. The boots were cut differently and the one boot was tighter where the strap goes over the top of the foot. It is so uncomfortable I can't even wear them any more. Now, after an hour or so, my foot literally starts throbbing. I wear 11 1/2-12, I got the 12 and they are definitely too tight. At least one is.

Unfortunately had to return as it was too big. Says true to size which typically means 12D for me. The quality and looks were top notch. Returns through Zappos is a breeze. Would have exchanged for 11.5D but size was not available. Ultimately bought the 12R in 11.5D and they fit perfect. Vamp hugs foot like a glove and zero heel slip.

I've been wearing fry boots from the time I was 14 years old. I am now 70 and still wear Frye boots. They were the best back then and are still the same. Back then they had leather soles but makes no difference

I bought my first pair (Charcoal) in 2013 and I still wear them today. Apart from some creases and normal wear and tear they are still going strong. I maybe wrong but I feel like the quality was better back then. But as for the 8Rs I own, I can give them 5 star without thinking twice.
On a different note, Frye really needs to address the lack of color choices over men's shoes. How come Black and Gaucho are the only color options? Whatever happened to Charcoal, Chocolate, Dark Brown?

Love them! I'm a woman (very girly girl) who just wanted a solid pair of biker boots. No, I don't ride bikes. These are SOLID! Heavy! Well made and I have no complaints. I bought the womens version in a 8. I hated them - looked too much like cowboy boots - and I love cowboy boots but that was not the look I was going for here - plus the womens version was soooo narrow across the top of my feet (where your bunions would be). The mens version in Black was a homerun! These boots are both masculine looking but they could work for women as well. These worked for me! I plan to wear them with dresses and with leggings and with boot cut jeans

Just opened these today....and they fit perfect (half size smaller) . I can't believe the look, they are fantastic quality. These are my second pair of Frye's , first being Smith Engineer and they are unmatched in quality. I see a heck of a Frye collection in my future.

I am a shoe collector 2 of my top ten boots are by Frye. The distressed harness boot is classic and timeless. I will wear them this winter here in Colorado see if they hold up im harsh climate! So happy about Frye leather !

This is ththe greatest pair of boots i've ever owned. I'm someone whow has trouble finding dhoes that fit well and are comfy, amd these blew me ojt ofnthe water. They fit PERFECTLY, and are surprisingly comfortable, even wearing them for long periods of time! They are high quality, and they've taken me a long ways in my journeys. Never been happier with a pair of boots.

I've had my Frye's about 3 weeks and love them!! They are extremely well made. They do require some breaking in, but I expect them to get more and more comfortable over time.
A friend referred me to Frye and his boots are his favorite pair of footwear and have lasted many years.

Quality is excellent. Leather is excellent. Fit is excellent. These boots are fantastic right out of the box. I have had 3 or 4 pairs of these boots and I kept getting more because they are top notch. Loved getting them on sale too. Of all the Frye boots these are the easiest to fix when the heal wears out too. These will last you years on end.

First thing you notice when you open these is the great smell of fresh leather. These are great looking boots, sort of a combination of the Marlboro Man and Peter Fonda, a "riding a motorcycle through the civil war" look. Good fit (tight at first, like any new boot, but breaks in relatively quickly). Great build quality.

This was a replacement for a pair of Frye boots I had for about 10 years. Decided to try this style. The leather is very luxurious. Hope they last as long as my last pair, which didn't have the "vintage" leather.
