Customer Reviews Frye Harness 12R W

FUNKY- These boots are very funky but I have to say they do weigh a lot... they're very comfortable w/their low heel but they are heavy... I love their coolness none the less.

Boots - Great boots but very hard to get on.

Fry harness - Good price, nicely built, but some of the leather seems less than high quality and a little overly distressed.

Looks great but fits very snug - I love this boot, but I wouldn't order a half size down. I am a 7 1/2 and ordered a 7. They are very tight and tough to get on. Hopefully once I break them in they will fit better I would have prefered the 7.5, but they are sold out now. Otherwise the shoe is great. They were shipped in 2 days and I love them.

Have to marry this boot - First of all, zappos is the best!! my husband ordered me these boots at around 10 pm EST and they were on our front porch by noon the NEXT morning! I've wanted these boots for a long time, and I knew they would take a long time to get to the comfy, broken-in point where I want them. So, yes, they're a little uncomfortable now. But, like a great pair of Levi's 501s, the time you put in will eventually be worth it. They do fit (like many boots) a little larger--I usually wear a 10 and had my hubby order a 9.5 based on the other reviews, and I'm having zappos send a 9 to see what the difference is (the 9.5 does slip a little in the heel). Definitely try a smaller size than usual to start with. Thanks Zappos! I've never had better customer service. And what awesome prices!!!

cool boot - This was the 2nd pair of Frye Harness boots that I bought. The first pair (size 6.5), I bought about 4 years ago & love them. They are still my all-time favorite boot. I thought these would fit the same being the same size/style. Wrong. As cool looking as these are, they didn't fit me very well. They were too big & the shaft felt extremely large compared to my first pair. I returned them & ordered the Harley-Davidson harness boot which is a little stiffer but a more accurate fit. For quality, you just can't beat the Frye. I hope my Harley's don't disappoint.

Sexy AND Comfortable - I absolutely LOVE these boots! I'm on my feet all day long and they're one of the few shoes I own that I don't want to rip off at the end of the day. Plus, I get tons of compliments on them. That being said, there are a few minor complaints I have with the fit. First of all, they tend to be a tad narrow in the forefoot to the toes. If you have a wider foot, I recommend ordering a size up. Also, even though they have great arch support, if you have high arches they're a little hard to get on at first. Once they are broken in, it's much better. Highly recommended!

I love the Frye harness boot. I get lots of compliments on them. I've had the "tan" (which is dark brown, as shown in the picture) for 2 years and recently purchased the black from zappos. I love the look of them - they go great with jeans, dress pants and skirts (short and long). I do have a couple minor complaints about the boots, however. First, my tan pair squeaks. Not something I expect from such a high quality boot. Second, the new black pair I received has something sharp sticking out on the inside of the right boot where the pull-on tabs are sewn in. The first time I wore them, my skin was rubbed off on either side of my leg because of this. Painful. So, now I wear band aids in those spots when I wear the boots until I can figure out another solution.

Frye Harness - The first thing I saved up for and bought with my own money when I was a young girl was a pair of Frye boots. I have always loved the look and the new styles are better than ever. My husband gave me this pair as a gift on Christmas morning and I put them on immediately (they look great with pajama pants, by the way). I've worn them several times. The quality, design, texture and color are excellent. My only complaint is that they feel slightly big in the heel. My husband purchased a half size smaller than I normally wear based upon some reviews he read. That was a good move. The size is right, but again, the heel is a bit wide. It will be worth it to figure out the right sock or insert to comfortably wear these very cool boots.

Love my Fryes - I was thrilled to receive them the next day!! Love the look and color. I am a size 10, but these seemed a little bigger. Would like them to have fit narrower on the calf, but still wear them with skirts anyway.

Fry harness - Good boot but a little too narrow for my foot. I really needed a wide width.

harness boot - This is a wonderful looking boot that is well made using quality leather. However, I am seriously disappointed in how poorly the heel fits. I wear a 6 1/2 and that's what I ordered but my foot flops up and down in the boot due to what I feel is an unusually large heel pocket. I have had to put in padded heel grippers to create some sort of hold.

Big Heel! Beautiful, well made boot. When I put them on, everything fit except the heel was way too big and slid around when I walked. I worried about the rest of the boot being too tight if I ordered a half size down. Going to try the Harley version from Zappos.com to see if the fit is better.

Frye Boot Fit & Feel - The boots look wonderful and are made quite well. On the negative side, they are very heavy and after awhile, your legs get tired of walking in them. They are very snug around your foot so not good if you have wide feet or want to wear thick socks.

Beautiful boot, but had to return - I wanted to love these boots, but had to return them. They are anywhere between a half to a full size larger than marked. They're also not very comfortable. There's not much flexibility and also pretty heavy. I just couldn't get over the heel slippage thing. It's not for me. I also don't believe these boots are good for people with feet wider than narrow (like A or AA). I can't really see how these boots will get comfortable over time... they're just too stiff.

Nice look, but uncomfortable - The boot itself looks great. Very difficult to get on and the buckle rubs tightly on the ankle. I am returning the product.

I think this boot will endure any rough tasks the rest of my life will give it. Rather heavy in weight and the leg opening is large for a woman's leg thus a tendency for a bit of calf rubbing and it is too large even for boot-cut women's jeans. Great work boot but recommend buying a lighter, less abrasive faux cowboy boot for fashion use.

I have a love/hate relationship with these boots. I mean, they'e so cute and the quality is as good as it gets - but there's a big problem. I can't wear these boots, even for a quick walk down the block, without limping home with huge blisters on the back of my heels. I've used layers of moleskin, bandaids and those sticky, padded heel inserts but I still have this problem, so my pair spends most of its time in the closet.

These boots weren't made for walking... A well-made boot, but far too narrow in the forefoot... My foot isn't particularly wide and these boots were unwearable until I stretched them out a bit. Even after breaking in, the heel slips too much. Also, the leather is matte and not slightly shiny as shown in the picture.

Horrendous fit - I don't believe these boots are made for women - the ankles are HUGE. I could not keep them on my feet, my foot kept slipping up. Also, the size is way off - one full size too big. Returned them.
