Customer Reviews Frye Phillip Harness Tall

I bought these 3 years ago, and have been trying to love them ever since. They're so good looking, and the calves are divine, but the soles and heels-ouch. Originally, I knew I couldn't return them because I had bled so much while breaking them in. 3 years later, I have blisters on my heels again because I've worn through the thin layer of leather at the back of the heel and into the plastic. I have various pieces inside covered in moleskin because the seams have gotten worse with age and rub. The foot bed is smaller than expected, and I never could stretch it out enough (forget running or anything that bends the shoe too much). The footbed isn't even that comfortable, but I can't put anything in to help because then my foot won't fit. Leather soles seem amazing, on paper, but I have had my Frye's resoled 3 times (once by Frye, twice by a local cobbler using rubber) because the inner leather layer is bad enough that the sole glue can't stick to the pieces. After writing this review and reminding myself of everything negative about these boots, I conclude that the only reasons I keep these shoes are because they cost a pretty penny and they're really cute.
