Customer Reviews Frye Harness 15R

My boots just arrived this evening, and it was love at first sight. I've been lusting over these (online only) for over a year, and finally made the plunge and ordered. I haven't taken them off since I tore them out of the box. I am typically a size 10 for athletic shoes and 9.5 in dress shoes. I ordered a 9.5 and they fit perfectly with a nice medium weight boot sock. They run a little tight inside the areas where the rings are, but I don't think there will be any issue breaking them in whatsoever. The Old Town Dark Brown is a beautiful medium brown distressed leather, and the quality of the leather is outstanding. I can smell the 'new leather' smell from across the room (a good thing). Absolutely adore. Afraid I just developed a ridiculously expensive Frye habit.

Love these boots, and I don't think I've ever gotten so many compliments on any other pair. Comfort-wise, I've probably give them a 3 - I normally wear a 9, and on other users' advice ordered an 8.5 in another pair of Frye boots and that worked out well, so I ordered these in an 8.5 and they are actually a little snug. They are also pretty stiff/hard in the whole foot area, but since they are so snug, there's not really any room for adding a comfort pad or thick socks. But they are cute enough to be worth the slight discomfort, and I will most likely order another color in size 9.

The UPS man just left...opened the box and saw my new Frye Harness 15R's up close and personal! Straight out of the box they fit like a dream! The look is amazing, the distressed chocolate is a cross between brown, taupe and grey. Questioning the sizing since I ordered a 7 upon reading the reviews (seems to fit -- little snug) and normally wear a 7.5; I think I may call up and get a 7.5 for comparison. I'm thinking seriously of ordering the tan and black as well. I'm hooked!

I love my Frye Harness 15 R boots! I ordered the vintage chocolate, and as suggested, went 1/2 size smaller and they are perfect! Comfortable right out of the box! The finish is a perfectly "worn" look and I've had so many great comments! I'm asking for the same boot in black for Christmas. Love them!

These boots are fabulous! Gorgeous craftsmanship and color. I have gotten so many compliments on them. I ordered an 8 (usually wear about an 8 1/2) and they are perfect with a thick boot sock. I like to have a little extra room to wiggle my toes, so this was the right size for me. They feel broken in after just a few times wearing them.

I am thrilled with these boots! The leather is soft and beautifully weathered, they look terrific, and they feel just right. Size seems to run true, at least for me. I only wish the rest of life were like Zappos -- cheerful, efficient, quick, and full of beautiful boots!

Beautiful boot, well made and comfortable after a break-in period. It felt narrow at first, but felt comfortable after wearing for a short time.

Love these boots! Took them out of the box and wore them for hours with no problem. Usually I wear a 9. I got these in an 8.5 and they're perfect, even with heavier socks. They are super comfortable and totally sharp. A worthwhile investment for sure.

It took me a year to find the perfect boot, and these are perfect for me. I like my boots to fit snug around the calves. I have 14.5 inch calves, and I probably can squeeze leggings or skinny jeans in them. If I can't, it doesn't matter, because these are my skirt jeans. They look awesome with skirts and dresses. These boots have the high quality leather that Frye's normally provide and I love the aged look. BTW, I got the tan. I don't think there will be a break-in period with these. I've worn them all day around the house and they've been very comfy. I normally wear a 9 to 9.5 med and got the 8.5 med. The fit is perfect. I can't wait for fall to wear these bad boys. Thank you Zappos for putting up with my zillion returns, and providing topnotch customer service.

These are a great pair of boots! Vanity sizing maybe? I am usually a 9.5 - 10 in women's so I had to go through a few pairs to get to the right size, which ended up being an 8.5 (so they run a little large, about a 1/2 to one size). I ordered the tan in 9 which was too big and the tan in 8.5 was on back order, so I paid the difference and exchanged them for the Chocolate Vintage and I must say they are GORGEOUS! Such a unique color way and well worth the extra money; and of course no two pairs are identical so buyer beware with sizing and look of the boots, not even two pairs of the same color and size are completely the same, which makes these boots so unique. They are also very comfortable. I've been wanting a pair for a VERY long time and I can't believe I ordered them right before summer, but I do live in LA, so I'm sure I'll get the weather to wear them. Today perhaps? BTW Zappos was great when I had to exchange my sizes a couple of times, the reps are also very friendly and knowledgeable about their products!

Amazing boots. I'm a standard size 8 (always an 8 in boots). Read reviews about ordering 1/2 size down - perfect. Got these bad boys in 7.5 and I couldn't be happier. Definitely the 8 would've been too big, even wearing socks. I was hesitant on the opening circumference as my calves happen to have substance to them (and not the skin/bone calves seen on most LA women). I would say they're a little less than 14" around - and these boots were perfect still. I was easily able to put them on and take them off and even with skinny jeans tucked into them they're not super snug. So here are the measurements I took (to the best of my ability) since they aren't posted: heel to edge of toe - 10.5 in; opening circumference - 14.5in. Hope this helps because I know how the debate goes when you're spending this much on boots!

This winter, I have been looking for a pair of edgy, tall black boots that could be worn over skinny jeans or with leggings and a skirt, as well as with bootcut jeans. I fell upon these tall Frye boots and was immediately taken with the square toe and buckle. Before I purchased these boots, I read dozens of positive reviews, and like most of the reviewers before me, I am completely pleased with them. I am 5'11 and the shaft makes it 3/4 up my calf. The circumference is a good, snug fit, but not tight on my 15" calf. They fit nicely over skinny jeans. The leather is very durable and supple, and I can wear them in all kinds of weather without worrying about being careful. The shaft has a bit of a stove-pipe shape, but seems to be softening as I break them in. The boots are on the heavy side, weighing in more than some of my dressier boots. I think the weight is consistent with their tougher look. They pull on easily with strong straps at the top of the shaft, but it takes a little effort to get them off. There are some reviews that say they run large; I usually wear 9 1/2 to 10 with light socks. I ordered them in 9 1/2, and they fit comfortably out of the box. Love them.

LOVE these boots. They are not true to size! I usually wear a 7 1/2 and I got them in a 6 1/2. So comfortable, just all around great boots!

I LOVE THESE BOOTS! They run typical Frye sizing, about 1/2 size larger (so order 1/2 size smaller). I have high arches so they were a bit hard to maneuver on at first. The solution to that problem was an extra long shoe horn! I cannot wear these boots enough. Right out of the box they fit perfectly! I wear them for hours at a time and they are so very comfortable! You MUST get a pair. Oh and did I mention the many compliments I get when I wear them?! ENJOY!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these boots. I ordered my regular size 9. I heard than ran large, but was concerned about the fit around my larger calves. They are a little big (nothing thick socks don’t fix), but fit my calves perfectly. I really didn’t experience any "breaking in" time... felt great from the first time I wore them. Looking forward to getting the 12R Harness maybe brown this time.

Great, well made boot. I bet these boots will last a life time. Frye has used the best leather and this Harness boot looks awesome on. Definitely runs big, I ordered a size down. Might be a problem for women with big calves, especially if wanting to tuck in jeans etc., as boot shaft runs on the slim side. I also have the Carmen Harness Short boot which I totally love too. You can’t go wrong with Frye. Zappos service and delivery can’t be beat either.

I'd been lusting over the boots since I first saw them so my husband bought them for me in vintage chocolate as an early Christmas present. I ordered the 8.5 initially and was very disappointed; they were huge and incredibly uncomfortable. But I liked the style so much that I wasn't going to give up there, so I ordered a size down, the 8. Zappos exchanged them immediately and I received them the next day. Awesome! Well, the size 8 is perfect, so make sure you order a half size down from your usual. They are very high quality, as you'd expect for the price. The leather is pretty hard, which made me wonder if I was going to keep them, but my husband convinced me that a pair of boots like these needs some serious breaking in. So I have been wearing them a lot on short outings and they're already feeling better after just a few short trips. The toe area is a little narrow for me, but it's starting to stretch and the heel slipped quite a lot initially, but that's also getting better, too. They're 'roughty toughty' enough to wear on a daily basis without worrying too much about scratches and scuffs, but can be dressed up with a skirt, too. I love them and expect them to be with me for many many years! I shall stop babbling now, just go and buy them!

I bought these for my daughter for her birthday, they ran a little on the large side so we returned them it was so easy and ordered the correct size. She loves them, gets loads of compliments and can't believe that she waited so long to get them. We talked about it last year. They are just right to wear with jeans and for chasing after her two sons. Thank you Zappos, you rock!

absolutely brilliant boot. harness 15R is sexy, edgy, stylish, rugged, durable... you name it and this boot has it. size does run 1/2 to full size larger than actual foot size. i always order down a half size at first, zappos is amazing at making sure customer is happy and will do what it takes to find the correct fit. i have long legs, the harness 12R is also a favorite boot but now that frye makes this in 15R, i would without a doubt order this fly boot.
