I have 2 pairs that are over 10 years old and have seen their better days, so I just ordered and received my new pair I ordered last week. Quality hasn't changed one bit and these are some pretty nice looking shoes and if I remember correctly they getting better. Please Frye don't stop making these quality shoes made in our country I've enjoyed through out the years. I'll be a loyal customer always.

I have been a huge Frye fan for 40 years, since I was a teenager and own several pairs of their boots and assessories. I own 2 pairs of the belted harness Mule and cannot say anything but good about them. The quality is beyond excellent. I wish Frye would produce a similar mule with a rounder toe now.

These are extremely well made and heavy.
They are edgy and very cool.
I wear a size 9.5, I orderd a size 9.5
Mules/clogs/slides are not supposed to be real snug on the heel cup, there is some give and take or sliding.
This is to be expected with this type shoe.
I love these and highly recommend them!

I love them, but the inside needs a padding to soften the foot.

I must say I love the color, chestnut, and love the quality of the shoe. I had a pair of mules years ago and loved them. It was very unfortunate I had to return them because of the toe box. I wear a size 10 and ordered them, but exchanges them for the 9.5. They fit, but they were uncomfortable walking around the house. I was terribly bummed to say the least. I gave it a five star for the quality of the shoe.

Love these shoes. Great fit. Comfortable even out of the box. (I do wear with socks.) Well made & will probably last longer than I.

I had drooled over these mules for a long time. I love mules and wanted something solid and chunky w/attitude. When I finally saved my pennies I bought them in Chestnut, but a size too big. I have a wide forefoot and usually measure a 7 or 7.5. They had to be exchanged for a 6.5 and I switched to black. Decided I wanted more biker, less cowboy. They look great w/leggings or a dress.
These shoes are very well made, lined w/cushy leather, and super heavy. At first they're stiff, so you have to commit to a break-in period... after which they're
absolutely perfect!

I have Haglund's Deformity (pump bump) from wearing bad shoes, so having ANYTHING touch my heels is less than fun. I thought that I would be wearing ugly shoes and flip flops for the rest of my life till I found these. I've always wanted this style of boot, so to find it in a mule was too good to be true! They look fantastic with skinny jeans, and I'd even wear these to a club to see a band. I wore them for a cross country trip this winter and loved how quickly they broke in and got comfortable. Also, flip flops + freezing temperatures don't mix, but my feet were warm in these! Frye sizing may be all over the place with different styles, but the sizing on these will be your true measured size. If you are buying online just pop into a local shoe store and get measured (wish that worked for Frye sandals, those must be tried on to determine fit). Bottom line, these are cute, cool, comfortable, well made, and worth every penny!

I've wanted a pair of Frye Belted Harness Boots for years but just never pulled the trigger. I'm not usually a mule gal (more heels or boots) but I hoped these would be the best of both worlds- and they really are. I get the cool toe and harness hardware PLUS I get to keep my ankles! Not only is this flattering (particularly since I'm not so tall and have athletic calves) but it also allows for a wider variety of options on bottom. I can wear these with anything I could have worn with boots (skirts, shorts, jeans) plus more options like capris. The perfect thing to slip on heading out the door when your outfit needs a little something.

I have been wanting a pair of these for years as I'm a collector of Frye boots. I have no idea what took me so long but I got the brown which I love and now have my sights set on the black. They are amazingly comfortable. I wear dresses 99% of the time and like the way they look with them too. I recommend 1/2 size down if you have a narrow or medium width foot.

I measure a true 9, but in most women's shoes I take a 9.5 or a 10. After reading the reviews I got the black ones in a 9, and they are a perfect fit! I doubt I would be able to wear socks with them though. That's fine with me for nights out when I'm home in CA though, because these will look so sweet with some skinnies and leathers to go see a band! I also purchased the chestnut ones in a 9.5 and put a sheepskin footbed in them to be able to handle winter wear. I bought these due to Haglund's Deformity brought on by wearing Converse All Stars that fell apart at the heel. I needed something that would not put pressure on my heels and my usual Reef flip-flops won't cut it in GA and SC for my upcoming Winter vacation. I am having difficulty adjusting to the weight of them, but I know that once I do they will be fantastic!

Mine just arrived! Absolutely love them, sitting here with them on my feet and I'm all giddy inside. They are incredibly comfortable and almost feel custom tailored. I have fallen arches and wide feet and these are amazingly comfortable and cute at the same time. Just might have to purchase another pair in one of the browns. Highly recommend!

Hesitated buying these because I already own so many other clogs and mules. Seven years later, I'm still wearing them. They have worked well with my wide feet.

Love these low boots that look like real ones without the hassle of pulling them on!
Bought my first pair of brown ones at Dillard's in Santa Fe, NM back in 2008 and still wear them. Really needed something for black dominated outfits as that is my new favorite clothing color.
I agree with many other posters who have described these boots as a work of art. They are so beautiful you almost don't want to wear them!
Also agree that they feel heavy at first, but you really do get used to them quickly.
Finally, agree that they feel slightly wider than the size ordered.
Overall, love these boots!

These boots are true to size and should be worn with medium to thick socks. They are heavy but look great and are perfect for cold winter days. I wore my for a few hours the other day to start breaking them in, they did hurt after a few hours of wear, I don't feel like you can wear these right out of the box. They have really nice tread on the bottom for snow and ice. I also sprayed mine with leather protector before wearing.

I love mules and the Frye Belted Harness are wonderful. Easy to slip on and off. Well made and sturdy, comfortable with a 2 inch heel and stylish square toe. I know others have commented about the heaviness however I have no issue with the weight. I wear a size 8.5 and bought an 8. The strap in back is attractive and handy. If heft is a concern for you, take a look at the Ariat sport mule. I've owned a pair and Ariat makes an excellent mule.

I really love these shoes! At first they felt a tiny bit snug but wore them just a little while and I think they stretched a tiny bit. They feel very true to size. I highly recommend them.

Frye Mule -
This shoe is made very well, looks great and is incredibly comfortable. I do wish the heel was a tiny bit higher, but that is my only complaint. I love these shoes!

Solid as a rock... hopefully a bit stretchier!
These are solid shoes, very well made and feel great to wear. They come up higher on the instep than typical mules/slides, so if you have higher-arch feet it will take a bit to break them in. I got the Crazy Horse color a year ago and those are now so suuuuper comfy I decided to get the black ones too. The sole is surprisingly shock-absorbing for such a tough-looking shoe, so once they're broken in you can wear them for hours.

Best mule-boots ever owned -
These boots are fantastic and my husband wants a pair, but can't find them in a men’s...I have the tan from a year ago and I wear them with about any thing, but jeans are the perfect match. I agree with the other comment about Zappos could teach other online company's a lot about service and knowing their customer's and putting them first!!
