Customer Reviews Frye Phillip Harness

Beautiful color-true to picture. Well made. The portion which surrounds your foot is a bit stiff. The plus side is that it will keep its form beautifully. The downside is that you do have to break it in a bit. I am giving it a 4 star in comfort, because I am assuming that they will break in nicely. Very fashionable and love the boot.

At first I ordered the 10 but that was way too wide in the heel. I have narrow feet with super narrow heels and I am used to things being too wide in the heel but this was way too wide even with thick socks. I loved the boots so much though so I ordered a 9½ in both the antiqued black and antiqued dark brown. Much better now. I am keeping them both. I love them! The zipper really sticks so I got pliers and they helped. The zipper is getting loser now. These are beautiful well made boots.

Comfortable leather boots that are really made well. I wear them everyday and they hold up through the rain and snow.

Lovely soft leather and beautifully made. The boot is really flat, no height with sole and heel. Unfortunately the 6.5 was too small and it was very difficult to do up the zip. I usually wear 6 to 6.5 so that was surprising.

I bought the Grey Vintage leather boots. They arrived within 24 hrs. Thanks Zappos! The boots are very comfortable, but they are not grey, more like a fawn brown color, which was a little disappointing, but I figure it was a neutral color and will go with just about everything, so I'll be keeping these. I wish Frye would get there colors straight. This was the second pair I ordered in "Grey" and it wasn't.

I purchased these boots in the Dark Brown Soft Vintage Leather and they are wonderful. I have bunions and my toes are extremely long and there is plenty of room for me to move my toes around. I normally wear a size 10.5/11, but I ordered a size 10 in these and they fit perfectly. It took a few weeks to break them in. I used leather protector spray from the drug store and it has kept them stain free in the snow.

I've had these for a few weeks and they have quickly become my favorite shoe for fall. They were instantly comfortable and by the 3rd wearing they felt like I've had them for years. The leather is so soft and high quality!

I have been buying Frye's for years. The quality and workmanship of Frye's cannot be matched. As other reviewers said, the zipper was a little tough to work at first, but is becoming easier. These boots are beautiful!

Great boots but not good for narrow heels, my left boot slipped too much. I will have to get a lace-up style. Excellent craftsmanship otherwise.

So...I have to say I love these boots. When they first arrived, the zipper was a problem...but I did my online research and fixed the zipper issue with...Vaseline! Wore them around my apartment for a Saturday morning of housework and they were totally broken in and fit my feet like a happy glove...feminine but tough. They are super cute with tights & skirts, leggings and jeans. So don't let the zipper horror stories scare you off...be bold! Take control and go for these excellent boots.

Love these boots. I'm a 8.5 and these fit true for me - the right one is a little tighter in the footbed because I have the start of a hammer toe but I was actually surprised at how it didn't take long for them to start to break in and feel comfortable - I expected to suffer some and didn't! If I had one sizing suggestion, it would be to make them just a tad bit wider to allow for thicker socks if you wanted. Love the height, style goes with dressing up or down, expect to enjoy for many, many years. Love Zappos too - never disappointed with the product and service.

I love these boots. They are so comfortable and have a very low heel height which I like. Very soft leather. I wear them daily. They do run a little narrow but my feet are wide.

These are awesome and feminine! They are comfortable and very true to size. So I read the reviews and yes the zipper was initially a big problem but due to the cuteness factor I had to make these boots work. I did very basic online research on sticky zippers. I tried the basic zipper fix it and it worked. I wore the boots around my little apartment as I did housework on a Saturday morning and I broke them in, they fit like a soft leather glove and I am in love with these boots. They are great with jeans, great with leggings, great with skirts. And now the zipper is smooth and easy. So do not let the bad zipper reviews put you off. Use your fingers, use your mind and go for these adorable Frye Phillip Harness boots!

Beautiful boot, but zipper was very tight, and I was worried about it's ability to stand up. Also sole and heel didn't really line up well, so I felt like I was walking downhill. Strange sensation

Oh wow, I love these boots! I always read the reviews here, so I was aware of potential problems with zippers and sizing up. I wear a 7-7.5 in sandals and flats, but usually size up for boots so I can wear thick socks. I got this boot in an 8, dark brown antiqued, with some trepidation. It was initially a little snug in the forefoot, the widest part of my foot. I wore them all evening with a thick pair of socks, and by the second hour I felt like they fit perfectly. Then I went dancing, and couldn't've been happier with these! They are so comfortable, and they look amazing with boot-legged pants, skinny pants and leggings, long skirts and short skirts - yes, I have been checking them out with a variety of outfits since getting home. I can't wait to wear them tomorrow with a dress for work... No problems with my zippers. The distressing is cool without being overdone. I love a leather sole, especially for dancing (swivel!). Likewise, the low heel (one of lowest in Frye boots) is just what I wanted. Beautiful, beautiful boot!

I ordered these boots for my trip, however they are too big, and I am runing out of time. I will order different style when I get back from my trip. Thank you so much. Sorry about that.

My first pair of Fryes. Will not be my last. I love these boots. Red is my favorite color so this was a no brainer. Such a nice alternative to my usual black. Love the zipper in back. I bought these to wear with long skirts and dresses with leggings and also with pants and jeans. I wore them with my usual light trouser socks and they were perfect. Comfortable out of the box. I did get a blister on first wearing but I think that is a me (anatomic) issue not a shoe issue.

I ordered these boots as a Mother's Day gift for myself. I ordered size 9.5. They are perfect fit, however, I would like to wear socks in the winter. So I called in and asked for help. The customer service staff was so helpful, she said as long as I returned the not suitable pair back in two weeks, she would sent me a pair of size 10 to compare with. I really appreciate this quality service. Zappos become my only way to buy good shoes.

Well, this is my first review ever! I now love these boots and receive many compliments on them. They are so adorable with jean and leggings. I had to get them in my regular size. They seemed stiff and tight initially, but after wearing them a few times for a few hours around the house they were comfortable. Now they are super comfy and I have a pretty big knob on the side of my foot below a toe I had broken. It just took time to break in the boot. The zipper goes up easier now. I would recommend these boots even though they are the most expensive I have ever bought. I think they will last for years. My husband wore his for years and is disappointed his foot size has gone to a 14. He cannot find a Frye boot in his size! Thanks Zappos for your great customer service!

These shoes are amazing! You can smell the real Leather. I can wear them all day and I get tons of complements on them too. No regrets on this purchase. First time paying this much on boots but I am glad I did.

I am in love with these short boots. I purchased the Cognac Stone Antique and although they look like they have been worn in a barnyard, they smell like rich leather and look amazing on. I much prefer the rounded toe to the squared toe on some of the other harness styles. They look amazing with skinny jeans or leggings due to the back zipper making it fit closer to the ankle. Now on to the zipper...it can be difficult at first, but I rubbed a little paraffin wax on the zipper and worked it up and down a few times before putting them on my foot again and this worked wonders.

I wear between a size 7 1/2 and size 8. I bought these in 8 and they almost fit too perfectly. I like their fit and I will keep them at this size, but I could not wear them with a thick sock. The first thing I noticed is that they are incredibly well made and durable. I have never owned a pair of Frye boots and in the pictures they looked lighter in weight and the leather looked thinner and more buttery. These are not too intense, I think they looks really cute on and very stylish, but the leather is thick and the shoes are more heavy duty than I expected. I'm kind of excited about this because I think with good care they will last for a really long time. The next thing I noticed: yes, like everyone else says, the zipper is hard to work. I've found a way to zip them on and off pretty easily, but it did take some messing around on my part to see what worked. Additionally, the zipper kind of rubs on the back of the leg/heel when walking - this could be that I just need to break it in more, I'm not sure. It's more comfortable with a good pair of socks and some tights/leggings. They are pretty comfy straight out of the box, but definitely don't have the greatest arch support and they are kind of stiff. I think with time they will soften up a bit more and probably feel more comfortable in general. Otherwise, very cute style, well made, I have them in black and I think they are versatile.

I have always wanted a pair of Frye boots, but have always found them slightly painful (too tight/narrow), so have never bought a pair. Finally I broke down and tried again! These boots are cute and completely comfortable from day one! Yeah! Also I love the light color for traveling down south. The only negative is I have to wear long socks, because anklets fall down, and there is a piece of nylon sticthing that rubs against my skin. I usually wear a 9-9.5 in shoes, but a 9.5 - 10 in boots. The 10 fits great!

I love these boots! Most comfortable boots ever. And super versatile.
