Customer Reviews Frye Phillip Harness

First, thanks to all the quality reviews that I read before I bought these boots! I bought two pairs because I just could not decide which ones I would like. I am usually a size 9 to 9½, but after reading reviews I ordered 9 in the dark brown antiqued and the cognac vintage. I concur that the antiqued style does run small - they did not fit but the cognac fit well, somewhat snug. I am going to give the boots time to stretch out, which I am told will happen. These boots are amazing quality - well worth the money.

Thank you, Frye, for the price drop in these boots! I bought a black pair a couple of months ago and when I noticed last week that the price had dropped, I jumped on the chance to buy a pair in the whiskey color and they are just beautiful! The pictures do NOT do them justice! When I received my first pair, I almost sent them back because they were a bit snug. But I wore them a few times around the house, wore them out a couple of times and suddenly they are the most comfortable shoes I have! If I could change one thing it would be to give the soles more traction - they are especially slick on the bottom when they are new - but that does improve with more wear. I live in the Pacific NW so am very conscious of traction! Since the price dropped a lot, I hope to get another color or two eventually.

Glorious color and comfort. They are perfect. They fit like slippers. I do not want to take them off. The style is gorgeous. I cannot wait to wear them with tights and leggings.

This is a beautiful boot. Unlike other people, I did not have an issue with the sipper. I generally wear a size 9 1/2 to 10. Ordered this in a 10, but I found that my heal was slipping. Returned the boot and reordering the boot in a 9 1/2 in the whiskey this time.

I fell in love with these boots when I opened the box. It did take two tries to get the correct size. I usually have to order a size down in boots, but not with these Frye boots. The sole was initially very slippery like some of the other reviewers mentioned, but that was not a problem after I wore the boots outside. The boots did not really need a break-in period, but they are getting softer each time I wear them. I do not really like to tuck my pants into boots - I like the fact that these are slim enough to look good with boot cut and regular pants. The zipper was a little difficult at first - I think it is getting better with each use.

These are fantastic boots. I have them in cognac and in black. The back zip is the only way that I can wear Fryes. I have a high instep/arch and I am unable to get my foot to even enter a side zip boot. These boots are well made and very stylish. They just keep getting better with age. The soles are very slippery. Take care.

Fantastic boots: definitely worth waiting for! And of course great service from Zappos: love them!

These boots are pretty darn great! I was able to wear them for a full night out after breaking them in at home for about two hours. They are very comfortable. I have worn them about four times now (twice out at night and twice to work all day) - they are getting more comfortable by the wearing. They feel a little tight at first. They will stretch out and the leather will soften, so I suggest getting your normal size. I have pretty wide legs/ankles and the shaft of these fit just fine (and they stretched a bit with each wearing). They look great with jeans (under or over jeans), leggings, and tights with a dress or skirt. Very versatile. This is my first pair of Frye Boots - so far, I get the hype! A final note: they are very comfortable as is, but I put a little insert in the bottom for extra support. They feel great and the insert fits in there perfectly!

I love these boots. I have received so many compliments from people of all ages. The leather is so beautiful and softer as you wear them. I had ordered the brown but settled on the red because I can wear them with so much including black or brown. My 1st pair of Frye boots and they are worth the money. I wear them with everything and they are so comfortable. Thanks for your customer service! you have spoiled me. Zappos is A+ and nothing else compares. The size is what I would normally wear.

I love this pair of boots!! They fit true to size. Looks great with a pair of jeans. There was not really any break in time comfy right out of the box

These boots are beautiful and comfortable. I own several pairs of Frye boots (size 7) and these are right up there on my most comfortable list. I love the color but think it is truly taupe not a cool gray as I would have preferred. I love the leather inside and out. the zipper is solid and makes for easy on and off.

I ordered three different pairs of Fryes and these are the ones I kept. They are very well-made and comfortable. The buckle makes them a little edgy, but still cute enough to wear with a skirt or dress. I ordered my usual size 9 and they fit try to size. Looking forward to wearing these for years!

Great quality and comfort right out of the box. The leather is substantial not flimsy, but soft, especially the lining around the ankle. I wear between a 10.5 and 11, got the 11 and it was perfect. My foot is average width trending to the narrow side.

I tried these boots on in a local store in size 6. They were great, but just a little big. When I got home I checked to see if Zappos had a 5 1/2, and yes they did. I got the burnt red, and they are just perfect in every way! I appreciate other reviews by those who have actually worn the items...at least for a day or two. Just looking good is not enough! I'm happy to report these look great, feel super comfortable, and are well made. These just might be my favorite boots of all time! Thanks Zappos.

Oh my gosh, theses boots are amazing! I am wearing them as I write this review. They are so cool looking! I ordered the Camel soft and are they ever, soft and beautiful color. The minute I put them on I loved how they fit my feet. I ordered my size and they fit like a nice pair of leather gloves. They were delivered as expected one day! At no charge! Thanks, Zappos. I have been a long time customer and intend to stay that way. Thank you again folks at Zappos. I tell all my friends about your great Company and the service you provide. I am a satisfied, happy customer.

I just purchased these boots and they fit snug at first because you have to wear them with a decent sock. I have been wearing them inside to give them time to stretch out, which they have done. They are really cute, and they are comfortable. I would highly recommend them. I am not a high heel type of girl and this is perfect style boot for me.

I love the look of these boots. Super well made, totally bombproof. Breathable. Cute with jeans if you don't want to be casual and stylish but don't want to wear heels. The distressing is moderate, just enough to make it look like they aren't brand new. However, like most Frye boots I've since tried they run quite narrow. I wish I had tried a 1/2 size up. I wish Fryes came in a wide version! I still wear them, but can't walk in them all day. They are pretty comfortable if I don't have to walk for a long time. My first pair had a defect and to upper separated from the sole; Frye's replaced them right away. Great customer service. Since then I haven't had any problems.

Like the look of this boots. I own several pairs of Frye shoes and this winter want to buy a pair of boots from them as well, I selected my normal wear size (6.5), however, they are too small / narrow for me, at least need a half size up, especially with thicker socks in the winter, and they are very tight around the toes, hopefully as other review mentioned it will be adjusted after few hour breakin. I am sending them back to exchange a 7.

I have noticed that these particular boots from Frye have lots of reviews and they are quite positive. Same response from me. This is my third pair of Phillip Harnesses. I wore them right out of the box. I ordered two or three other styles before this since I already had two Phillip Harness. I am not sure - one might have been called Veronica Shortie, and the other Jayden Shortie. The shaft on those was a little too short and a little too small in circumference for my lifestyle. I live on a ranch. They would have been great for urban gals - pretty. But I returned to the Phillip Harness which is so comfortable, a bit rugged and outdoors in style. I am very pleased.

The brand that is made as solidly as they were in the Civil War. These are top quality boots and shoes. For anyone having an issue with zippers, where applicable, I suggest that you run graphite (pencil lead) or candle wax or bar soap over the zipper to make to run smoothly until it is broken-in. That is no big deal.

Wonderful red boots! Very comfortable and stylish. I wear these with my leggings! I get more compliments in these boots every time I ear them! You won't go wrong purchasing these boots. I love Frye products!

Love! Bought these for my upcoming trip to France where it will be in the high 50's and rainy. Stylish and very comfortable out of the box. Plan to put in gel inserts for even more cushioning since we'll be sightseeing for hours on end. I'm a 7M and these fit well. They're not too narrow for my foot and the zippers do require a little exertion but they zipped up after a couple of tugs -- and my jeans were tucked in. I'm 5"3 in case that helps. Also, Zappos is awesome. I shipped these to an out-of-town address but the UPS person came 2 hours after I left for the airport to return home. Zappos notified UPS not to deliver, handled it as an exchange, and I had another pair sent overnight. Amazing customer service.

I have NEVER written a review, but just felt a need to share this! I LOVE these boots! I have the burnt red vintage and receive admiring compliments every time I wear them. I normally would not pay this much, but my husband had a pair for years he loved, but they no longer fit him as his feet have grown. (Frye needs to make size 14 in mens!). I ordered my regular size and they were tight initially as I have a Bunyan on my right foot. I was determined to keep them and eventually they stretched and formed to my feet! The zipper is tight, but my husband ran the lead of the pencil up and down a few times which helped. I have had these for almost a year! They are awesome!

I love this harness low heel boot. No break in time needed. Plenty of room for your toes. Not narrow. So comfy. Look great with a pair of jeans. True to size. LOVE!
