Customer Reviews Frye Harness 8R W

This is my 5th pair of Frye boots and I love them all. I have worn these with tights and a knit dress and leather vest and gotten many compliments. They are true to size and were comfortable all day on the second wearing!

Love these boots! They do run big though. I wear a 7 in all the other Frye boots I have, including the Harness 12R W, but for these, the 6.5 fits the same as the 7. And I wear regular socks with them. Thicker socks would probably give me blisters. The first 5 wears or so, getting them on and off was a bit of a challenge, but it gets easier as they break in more and more. They'll last forever and I know they'll always be in style. Don't recommend getting them wet, though. I got caught wearing the 12R W's in a downpour and they were so heavy on my feet as I was walking because the leather was soaked!

These boots are beautiful and made with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. They make any pair of jeans or boot cut pants look absolutely wow on. They look dressy and chic until you sit down and cross your legs to expose the strap of the boot which reveals your edgy side and shows a bit of personality! I believe they run fairly true to size, but if you like to wear thicker socks for winter, or you use orthotics, then I would order up a size. I normally wear an 8 1/2 and I ordered the 9s because I prefer warm socks with my orthotics. Plenty of support and springy insoles!

Love the Frye Harness boots! They are very comfortable, which was noted by other reviewers as I was considering the purchase. I needed a new pair of black boots for winter and I found the ones I was looking for.

These boots are so cool looking. They take some time to break in though, so only wear them for short periods of time at first. Maybe thicker socks are in order. I normally wear a 9 and I took an 8 in this shoe.

Wow. Great service from Zappos (again). I originally ordered the Frye Harness 8RW in a size 9.5M because I had a pair of Frye Engineer boots (also from Zappos) in that size. Well, the Harness must run big, so I called Zappos customer service and they rushed me a size 9M. Perfect. Comfy. Great look. The ONLY problem is that they pull my sweat sock into the boot as I walk. Nevertheless, it's the all-American boot. And I did my research: I wanted boots MADE IN THE U.S.A. Great job to everyone at Zappos!

I live in my Frye Belted Harness boots, but with the warm months coming I splurged on the lower version. They don't have the buckle and a more Western heel than my other pair, so they are different enough...and lighter in weight. Already I love them as much as the taller version. They're still at that stiff stage having arrived today and don't yet have the battered, broken-in character that my taller ones do, but I know that in a few days of wear they'll soften up and conform to my foot. As with my other Frye boots, I went a half-size down and added a pair of gel arch supports, so now I can stride into summer in comfort and classic, rugged style. As always, Zappos service was a delight. The boots arrived so quickly that one of these days I'm sure my order will arrive the second I click "Confirm."

OUCH!!! These boots will take a lot of breaking into. I think once they are broken in they will be a great boot...until then my feet will be aching. I would order a 1/2 size smaller.
