These are very well-made, quality boots that look and feel good. Other than hiking boots, this is the first pair of boots that I have purchased in many years. I actually tried these on in a department store first then ordered them from Zappos and saved some money. I have had them a little more than a week and realized today that I have not worn any other shoes since I received these. They are recommended.

Chocolate Brown- These are the best boots I ever had hands down-- comfortable and great looking. I did have the boots cut down by 2 inches because they rode higher than my boot-socks (they 8Rs get caught below the cuff of my jeans after sitting because they are too short.) So now they are 10R I guess- which I think is the perfect height !!!

Have had many pairs of boots including Fryes. Never had a pair that felt basically broken in the first time I put them on. They look GREAT,fit like they were custom made for me. Fryes don't usually feel this way out of the box. I'm a happy camper.

I used to sell these for a small, family owned shoe store, my manager owned a pair and I eye balled buying a pair for the longest time.
Finally, after I had the money, I bought a pair. This is not only my go to boot, but my go to pair of shoes. I wear them at least 4-5 times a week. I wear them outside of work for my current job, but I look forward to casual Fridays so I can wear my 12r's. They're crafted with amazing craftsmanship. It's a great feeling knowing that the boot on my feet are crafted in America with the craftsman/craftswomanship hard working people. These boots are comfortable with lots of arch support. That initial "pop into place" fit when sliding these bad boys on my feet is the true definition of how quality boots should fit. I look forward to my next pair... though it will be a while. I've had these two years and they are still in great shape. The soles are holding up great, too. My plan is to have them re-soled and buy a new pair both.

My first pair was back in 69, went with me to serve my country in a foreign land. Had every thing from A-Z pass over the leather. Was cleaning out the attic and we all couldn't believe our eyes to my surprise still had them a little worse for wear and a little tight. So Christmas is right around the corner, guna upgrade this time even though I'm on a fixed income. As the saying goes "He died with his boots on"

These boots are the most comfortable I have worn yet. They are tough to get on at first. But after a couple of weeks they fit very nice. They do run very big. I had to go down a full size.

I bought a pair in brown and a pair in black over 15 years ago and they just keep getting better. Other than new heels and soles after many years, they are sturdy and more comfortable then when I bought them. True to size.

Frye boots are great, fit really good, my foot measures size 9 on the scale, some boots I need 8 1/2, others I need 9 - Frye's 9 is an exact fit for me, not too tight or loose. The boots are extremely durable, and stylish. Comfortable too.

These boots are "tanks" in the best sense. I use them for motorcycle boots. They make me look dangerous.

Boots are great. I oiled them up with neatsfoot oil. While this darkened them at the time of application, after a day or two, the oil is soaked up by the leather and they look very similar to what they did unoiled. Great looking boots.
I am unsure how much wear they will handle long term, but I am optimistic.

Quality product. Will take time to break them in, but that's expected. The more you wear them, the less you'll know they're on. I put gels in them which I purchased before the shoes arrived. Delivery was excellent!

These boots are fantastic. It is my second pair since 2004. The first pair I had I literally wore for 5 years straight, had them resoled twice, and still own them. I had been to hell and back in them, and they show it. I'm really hard on my footwear. So I decided to get another new pair to replace them. They are a really well constructed boot that you definitely get longevity and your money's worth from. They look better as they wear too. I'd definitely recommend.

A very comfortable pair of boots. I normally wear a size 7.5 for loafers, and got the same for this and it fits well.

These boots were a gift for my son - he likes them and is wearing them. He says the fit was great right out of the box. The look is of high quality and style. I am going to get a pair myself - but not the same color.

This was my first experience with western style boots. I bought them for motorcycle riding. They take a few days to get used to, so do not pass judgement on them right away. Especially if you are not used to this style of boot. Once the back of the heel rounds out a bit, you will be ready to roll. There is no arch supportive insert so, you may want to consider one the aftermarket types. If so, I would buy a larger size than you normally do. I usually wear 10½ I got these a full size larger (11½) and they are just a bit snug with a sole insert, but, I can tell, they will break in nicely.

These are my favorite boots, ever. I had some Frye boots back in the '70s, gone through many pairs of paddock boots and some fancy-schmancy cowboy boots, but these Frye Harness boots are my all time favorite. Super comfortable, super well made & sturdy, super cool. They just get better looking and better feeling the more you wear them.

Frye Harness Boots -
This was my 3rd order from Zappos since I found you earlier this year. I received my "Frye's" yesterday - super fast delivery! MAN, these boots are off-the-chart fantastic quality and super sharp, rugged, appearance. I could not be happier with my purchase or with you. Zappos, you rock! I would probably never order footwear online because it is too difficult to determine true color and appearance and impossible to determine fit without seeing the shoe in person. However with free shipping both ways and hassle-free return policy, I don't feel that I am risking anything. I love the way that you do business and I hope that you never change a thing. You've earned my loyalty.

This is my 2nd pair of these and I love them both. It took a while to find the right fit, but I went a size down and they are breaking in just fine. Very classy, yet casual as well.

My wife has had this exact same pair of boots (in women’s) for a few years now. I have never owned any type of boots, but I really liked the look of hers. For our wedding anniversary, she decided to splurge and by me a pair. I LOVE THEM! They look great and I don't mind if they get scuffed a little bit because it adds to the "weathered" look, and of course they aren't as comfortable as tennis shoes, but I was really surprised at just how comfortable they are. My longest in them is probably about 12 hours and my feet didn't hurt one bit. Great boots and well worth the high price.

Great look and feel!
I wear a size 17 in every other shoe I wear so it's not easy to find boots in my size. I bought the size 16 and to my surprise they were a little big on me. Other than that they look great and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

From Ruth, in Denver, CO -
I bought these as a holiday gift for my partner. He just LOVES them! He has worn them all over, everywhere we have gone, since he got them. He says they are totally comfortable and a real pleasure to wear. AND he is a Birkenstock man! I am just happy that we've had cold enough weather for boots. He says "thanks to Zappos!"

5 star review for Frye Harness 12R -
Bought these for Christmas present... my son couldn't wait that long. Beautifully crafted, the gaucho colour was perfect for a university age student. My son said that he likes the style and the fit is perfect. Warm woolen socks are required to withstand the cold winter. We would buy these again!
