Customer Reviews Frye Harness 8R W

If you have a high arch or instep, these boots are not for you. I ordered a 7, my usual size, but I could not slide my foot into the shoe. They are great boots, but not for everyone!!

This is my second pair of Melissa button boots, I have a current pair that I have had for four years that are amazing. I wanted a new pair in a different color bc I loved them so much. Unfortunately the quality is SO bad now, I have no idea what happened to these! Its like a totally different boot when I compare the two boots, the leather is really not nearly like it used to be. I have 5 pairs of Frye boots and one pair of Frye high tops so I know what the normal quality is like, and this is not it. I am returning these.

Wanted these for a long time. Finally bought and am honestly disappointed. They are very heavy and pull socks down. There is also a weird bump inside that has caused my left foot serious pain. Fry needs to put pictures of boots being worn on the site so you can see how they look on because especially with this pair, it's very different. They are high quality, great leather, the fit isn't right though and they look a bit strange in person.

I bought these in black and within several months they turned white! I emailed Frye tons of pictures since they were still under warranty and received the response that this is normal for leather(which doesn't seem accurate). They've turned completely white several times within this year and each time requires using 3-5 coats of black shoe polish. Like others, I had to get them resoled right after buying. They look good at first (2 months) though!

I returned this item because it is very narrow in and around the foot but wide up at the calf. Did not fit comfortably

I bought these for my girlfriend for Christmas and they fit differently. The right boot was smaller. Yes, we checked to see if her feet are different sizes, which is common. this wasn't the case. We wanted to buy another pair of 9's but sold out. Great product, just disappointed in not being able to keep them.

First, let me say I LOVE Frye. I was really excited to order these. They are beautiful. When they got here though, there's a noticeable difference in the leather from one boot to the other. (I don't expect that to be perfect, I understand hide.) However, they are quite different. I ordered my size, and for me my left foot is a little bigger than the right. However, my left foot fit perfectly, but the right boot is super tight. Also, theres something in the boot sewing, that doesn't permit me to slide my foot in in a regular way. The front stitching stops my foot as a strange angle. So, I've been a little bummed & not given feedback because I've been debating how to handle this. I don't expect that this is a normal situation...it's just what happened here.

I absolutely loved these shoes when I bought them, but then over time (within 2 years) the interior lining in one of the shoes tore apart from the heel. I took them to the cobbler and they are not repairable, he said the entire shoe would have to be remade. It's very disappointing that these gorgeous shoes do not hold up structurally while the exterior leather is in perfect condition and still looks like the day I bought them! I wish I could salvage them!

I bought these boots about a year ago and for the fact that frye generally has great stuff, I hav run into a lot of issues with these boots. After only 1 season of wear these boots had a huge hole in the sole (something that has never happened to me before). Because of frye's warranty I was able to send them in to be resoled. This process was very smooth. However, I got the boots back and have been wearing them for about 2 months (and not every day or anything) and the sole just completely came off! Considering these were resoled by Frye this was pretty surprising. In addition one of the buttons continuously comes off which I have been unable to make stop. I've written to customer service and am hoping to be able to resolve this.

I bought these boots less than one year ago and they are already totally falling apart. I expected much higher quality and useful life, but the insides of the boots and the soles have made them unwearable. They should have lasted way longer, especially for that price. I love the style and they were very comfortable for the time they lasted, however I would never have spent that much money on a product that was such a let down.

I ordered a size 7 & am usually a 6.5. They were crazy small, I couldn't even fit my feet inside! Bummed.

very tough to get my foot in them, but once i shoved my foot in then they fit. not sure how i can wear them with socks, i got an 8.5 and am usually an 8.5. the shoe runs true to size but there is no way for me to comfortably get my foot into the boot

My father has been buying Frye boots since he was young, so "investing" in my first pair of Frye boots was a highly anticipated event. I am a student and this was way more than I'd ever paid for anything, and I was more than excited to buy these boots for life. Tonight, after only 3 months of owning these boots (and only 2 months of wearing them frequently), the sole fell off. Even worse, it was extremely obvious that it was glued on. The idea of "Frye quality" is antiquated, and frankly, not true anymore. I will NEVER buy another pair again and I will certainly NOT be carrying on this family tradition. I have never been so DISAPPOINTED in a purchase in my entire life.

Too narrow. Sorry but had to return. Tried on same model in a store but she didn't like the color. Fit fine. Sent for the same model. Same size. Different color. Didn't fit. Go figure.

Immediately after I bought these boots, they started developing a waxy residue that has to be buffed off every time I wear them. I took them to a cobbler, and they couldn't do anything. I contacted Frye customer support, and they refused to do anything. It's a cheap product, and terrible service.

If you buy these boots, be prepared to have them re-soled at the Frye repair shop --- and only then hope to wear them for a few months before that's needed again. Now, mine are not under warranty and I'm out of luck. The soles get holes in them very easily and completely detach from the boot itself. It's a shame, because they are beautiful and comfortable. I wear mine regularly, but do not wear them when it is wet out. I clean and condition them and try to keep them looking nice, but the soles are only okay if you wear them inside, on carpet I guess! Good luck.

I bought a pair of these less than one month ago and similar to one of the reviews, the soles are of horrible quality. I've had other boots for over 10 years where I've only had to have the heel replaced while the rest of the soles are intact. But, for these Frye boots, there is already a couple of small divots out of the sole. The sole looks like it is wearing thin towards the stitch already.
