Great leather boots for men. These stompers will make you feel the man that you are. Great for stomping, walking and looking.

Not just for guys!
I wear size 12 women's and the 10.5 was perfect. I was afraid that the toe would be too narrow and pinch the ball of my foot, but after a few wearings they conformed very nicely to my feet and now even accommodate my arch supports. I gave these 4 stars in comfort because there's zero arch support in them, but otherwise they're perfect. Tons of classic attitude without being too over-the-edge; they even look good with dress pants, if I polish them up and hide the harness a little.

Superb right out of the box -
These felt broken in right out of the box and they remain some of the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. Great fit and finish - a well-made boot. Lots of compliments from friends and strangers, but more importantly, these are boots that just fit and feel right.

Worth the Money -
My husband's last pair lasted for almost ten years and he still wears it. I highly recommend the product.

Great Leather Used -
The leather used to make these boots is of fine quality. It is soft and heavy and hardly no break-in time. I am very happy with the looks and colour and Zappos is always a pleasure to deal with!

Amazing boots!
I have never had a boot fit so well and feel so "worn in" right out of the box. I'd buy another pair right now, except I think I'll get quite a few years out of these!

I have had these for 7 years already. Of course I own other shoes, but these still look relatively new.

Great for the money -
Look good and comfortable 2 hours out of the box. They made my feet tired after walking around mall for 3 hours, but they're also brand new and my first new pair in 20 years. My heel never slipped after 30 minutes of wearing them. I think after a year or so these will be like old jeans, and for this price, you can't go wrong.

Great boots -
These were my first pair in years and could not be happier. I've worn them a total of about 5 days and they feel broken in already. I'm very happy with my purchase and the service from Zappos.

Excellant Christmas Present -
I bought the boots for my boyfriend for Christmas. He fell in love with the boots. He said that they are extremely comfortable and knows they will last at least a decade!

These are some cool boots!
I am a boot nut, and always dug the style of these, and wanted Fryes because I heard the quality was the best. They are darn hard to find in retail stores. I bought a pair of 13D and the fit is beautiful for my foot. I have a narrowish foot but am wide across the ball so a lot of times boots either slip on my heel or squeeze my toes. These don't. Nice snug fit. Heavy boot but very supple the way it feels on yoru foot. I can walk all day in these and my feet don't fatigue near as bad as any other boot I own. Get lots of comments on these, all with the word COOL in there somewhere. These fit great, feel awesome, are bulletproof, and I wear mine all the time. I'm 6'6" and would like a shorter heel, but will just replace the ones have when it needs it with shorter ones. I'm a BIG FAN of Frye boots. Excellent quality and workmanship.

My woman worships these boots. I got rid of my Doc Martens for these Fryes and my girl went nuts. She makes me wear them all of the time and oooh what she does to me when I wear them. She even made me keep them on in bed once. GET THESE BOOTS!

Excellent pair of Boots
These are a well made, durable pair of boots. I've had mine for two and a half years now. Hard to find in retail stores, but in my opinion, one of the best boot manufacturers around. I'm looking for a second pair just because and the only brand I want is Frye.

Great Pair of Boots -
Order was received about 16 hours after I ordered them, most impressive. The boots are good looking, well fitting and the comfortable boot that I have ever worn. My only issue with them is that leg of the boot is so wide that its hard to fit boot cut jeans over them.

Frye Harness 12R -
I'm a 10.5 M and the boot I received is uncomfortably small. I'm not sure if it will loosen up or not. I may need to try to condition them in order to speed the process. It's too bad I wasn't able to try them on before purchasing them.

City Kickers -
These boots are the real deal version of what high-end designers are recreating as vintage and charging 500 bucks for. They are surprisingly comfortable, not too hard to put on, and the rubber sole adds traction. Quite versatile, wear 'em on the bike or in the city.

six years -
I've been wearing a pair of these for about six years now and I can definately Qualfy these as well made long wearing boots. I wear them 90% of my non working hours and with occasional applications of mink oil they have held up very well(I can still shine them up and wear them with a suit!(rare occasion). I mainly got these for riding (motorcycle) but as they are quite comfortable I wear them almost all the time.
I've had them resoled twice the only problem I've
had is the harness which has stretched out and hangs down near the heal . I will be getting a new pair soon and will probably get Frye's belted harness boot (it has a belt buckle on the harness
and can be tightened) for that reason.

Harness boots still RULE!
Got my new harness boots (Gaucho) from Zappos, and they feel like my first pair. My first were bought in 1969 and lasted through 2 resoling and 3 heels, lasting until the mid 80's. These new boots are lacking the leather lining of my originals, making donning them a real challenge. (NOTE, the boot straps are not just for looks! Use them.) However, the finsh on these new boots are far more superior, making them feel as supple as a well worn boot. The squared off toes are a real great feature, if you think "cowboy" boots pinch toes you'll be surpised with these, lots of room! I may save up for the Campus boots now. I'm still flexing my feet in wonder at the feeling, they look so great, can't wait to try them in bed. Oh yeah, and I'm a full 2 inches taller, look out world!

Shop around, dude. First off, the heel. Why couldn't Frye make a flush heel? The fact that it is two different tones and pieced together is very noticeable and shouts inferiority. I would expect a single-piece, preferably tapered, heel for what I paid for this. And why not wood? What is so special about these two different-colored rubber composites that they need to be stacked in different shades? It just looks bizarre and tacky and bordering on orthotic. Very not Western. Also, in a size 8, it overpowers the rest of the boot. Then, the upper (covering the foot) leather. It cracked. I realize leather will develop a natural crease, but this was something beyond that for me. Infuriating. Brown and brass look so cool together and this is still the only Western I can find in that combo. The stars I give this item are gratuity stars for that and being made in the USA. Love the company, but can't stand the boot. And yeah, for what I paid, I bought the right to complain. Priced high enough that you bet I was expecting perfection. Oh, and...for the price could they design this so the back of the foot doesn't play slip 'n slide in this boot? Otherwise a great boot.

Not that comfortable. Plus the rear strap came apart. Now they just sit in the closet.

My first pair of Frye's I bought in 1974, I still wear them! It's 2020. I have purchased 2 other styles, and they have worn well too. One pair I wear frequently, and although quite worn, still viable. I put new bottoms on every 2 years. God bless Frye and a good cobbler!
