Customer Reviews Frye Carmen Harness Tall

These are great boots! For those of you with above average size calves, this is your chance to have some great boots that will fit! For those of you with regular calves, you will be able to wear your skinny jeans inside these (I can even get mine tucked in there). If you have below average calves, they might be too loose. They have a western flare, but aren't too overtly "cowboy" boots; they look great with all kinds of skirts and dresses. I ordered my "normal" size and they fit great. They are actually very comfortable. I have worn them to teach for over 5 hours and had no problems.

Finally, a boot that reaches just below the kneecap and is roomy enough for those of us with larger legs! These were the first boots I could easily pull on over my jeans (or leggings). Everybody keeps asking me where I got my boots. All my Fryes last forever, too.

These boots are classic. They fit perfectly, as I find is usually the case with Frye Boots, they look fantastic and oh! the leather is gorgeous. Best of all, while they may cost a bit more than other boots you can find, they'll last forever. I have another pair of Frye harness boots that I've been kicking around in for 15 years. I figure I'll be wearing these around town when I'm in a walker!

These are my favorite boots. I have ordered them in light tan and will get the chocolate brown. I have other Frye boots, but these are the best.

Love these boots! In my opinion they are designed to be a little loose. It makes for a more casual, worn in look. Beautiful leather & great comfort from day 1.\r\n\r\n

I love these boots. I just got them in the mail a couple of weeks ago and I wore them right out of the box. They are comfortable and awesome quality.

Finally a tall boot that fits my large calves! Love, Love, Love them, the usual awesome Frye quality, got them in the dark brown and am thinking of the grey and tan as well. Expensive, but worth every penny for the great fit!

Love, so pretty. I comparison shopped the Frye Veronica Slouch with this boot and kept the Carmen Harness Tall. It is so beautiful, fits great on my wide foot and muscular calves. Goes with everything: jeans, skirts, etc. No complaints Zappos. I love you, too!

My first pair of Frye boots and they're to die for! The leather upper is surprisingly soft and not thick as I expected, so I'm really hoping they will last as long as Fryes are said to last. As to the fit, I'd say they run slightly narrow. I can usually wear a heavy sock (wigwams) under my boots, but these are too narrow for that. I'm just going to have to buy some warm, thin silk socks, because these boots are too hot to send back.

I was headed to CO for a Stampede Rodeo and needed a pair of boots. I ordered these and as soon as I got them I tried them on and didn't want to take them off! They are so comfortable and look amazing on. I even bought a pair for my step-daughter and her friend and they absolutely love them too!

Beware, these are suede boots not leather. So they are a soft suede leather. I thought they were "hard" leather.

Excellent boot particularly for larger calves. It's a bit baggy in the ankle, but I got the dark brown color (which is a gorgeous textured/worn-and-loved looking leather) that makes the bagginess look like it's just worn that way. The boot itself fits like a Frye boot, meaning extremely comfortable from day one and will only get better with wearing. The toe area seems to have a little more room than the other "Carmen" styles. I have narrow feet but thick socks make the fit perfect. The heel is the perfect height (not too tall to be uncomfortable, but tall enough to make your legs look long and sleek) and the slightly upturned toe gives the boot an extra little flair that I absolutely love (I have several other "Frye Carmen" styles with the up-turned rocker look). All-in-all a gorgeous boot well worth the money, but not for the skinny-calved girls.

Edit to my prior review: After wearing these boots less than 15 times, the heel has worn down significantly, and the leather coating on the heel is peeling off. It’s not like I’m traipsing through giant puddles after rain storms; in fact, the harshest condition my boots have experienced is damp sidewalk. I am very disappointed in the quality of these boots - I expect to get YEARS out of something that costs this much. I stand by my prior comments concerning the excellent styling on these boots - I get tons of compliments on them, and they look awesome with just about everything.
