Customer Reviews Frye Harness 8R

I have been wanting a pair of Frye boots for a long time. I’m glad I chose this pair -- they are stunning!!! The workmanship is impeccable, and the color and distressing of the leather is gorgeous. I saw them in a local shop and was immediately drawn to them. When they didn’t have my size I went to Zappos and of course they were in stock! I do not agree with some others’ comments that these boots run big. If you have wide ankles or a high instep then you should order at least true to size, as the harness around the ankle may be a constraint. After ordering my usual size and having to return them (totally easy with Zappos!), I tried for a half size up and they fit perfectly. I do not think these boots will disappoint!

I usually wear a size 7-1/2 but these boots ran large, so I got a 7 - they are gorgeous boots - I love them - worth the price and I know hey will last a long, long time - Zappos is awesome - they did the exchange without the first problem and I got my boots before I went home for the holidays - I would definitely recommend these - the color is just gorgeous and the size is perfect with jeans, trousers and heck, even jean mini-skirts.

Great boots! Love the boots. They are a little loose in the heel, but they fit well with thicker socks. Zappos is awesome. They were out of stock in my size (11) so I put in for an alert when they were available. Within 24 hours I had an e-mail saying they had them available. I ordered and within just a couple days I had them in hand! Can't beat that.

Shoe is VERY sturdy and is great for riding out in the woods or on a trail.

So glad I bought it! I saw a co-worker with Frye harness boots and immediately wanted a pair! The suede, broken-in look and feel of these is great, and the shorter height is so cute! I wear them everyday...definitely worth the splurge. I wear a 10, bought a 10, and while they feel a little big, they are more comfy that way.

Cool Boots - These are great looking boots. They are very loose in the heel, however. Maybe ordering a 1/2 size smaller would help?

The best boots ever! What can I say about these boots that hasn't already been said? These are the most comfortable and durable boots I have ever owned. I have three pairs, and they go well with both slacks and jeans.

Classy Boot - What a wonderful boot! They look great with jeans and they are not as clumpy as my cowboy boots. I find myself wanting to wear them everywhere! The craftsmanship is also excellent.

GREAT, but just a LITTLE LOOSE... I ordered my regular size (9) and found it to be too big. Zappos sent me next lower size and its good. Will look nice with jeans... much better than having a higher on the calf boot. ZAPPOS is a great company.

Frye Harness 7R - Love this boot. It's like your favorite pair of knock around, worn-in jeans. It is a bit narrow but I have wide foot. I just know it will get better with wear.

Love my Frye boots - I don't know how y'all got red ones. I'm jealous. Mine are antique saddle suede which I love because they don't look brand new. When I took them out of the box and put them on the floor I thought they would be too narrow but they fit my feel like they were made just for me. When I was a young hippie motorcycle momma I had a pair of the taller harness boots. Those lasted years and I'm expecting the same from this pair. Makes me feel young again.

Great boots! These are even cuter in person. They look terrific under jeans (boot cut). I wear an 8 1/2 in most shoes (except Crocs and Merrells) the 8 fit perfect.

Rugged yet sexy - This shoe is comfortable, and I'm a veritable comfort junkie with really big feet. The size 11 fit me like a glove, even though I had socks on and sometimes need a 12. I think it runs about 1/2 size larger to accommodate thick socks. It has that hand-made look. It will last for years. It stylish, but in a classic way. It's a feminine yet tough look. I'm just glad these things haven't caught on like Ugg boots did a couple of years back.

Love These Boots! I was really hesitant to buy these since they were so expensive. I'm glad I finally decided to get them. They are so beautiful and comfortable. I wear them just about everyday. All around good investment. These boots are hot! I get compliments on them every time I wear them. Some notes: they felt a little narrow due to the toe at first. After a couple of days they seemed to stretch out. Now they are perfect. Also: as another reviewer commented, the red on these boots is just right-not too bright, not too tame.

Red is now my favorite color - I LOVE these boots! Be sure to buy your true size - not 1/2 size down as I read on other harness boot reviews. They are a little loose on the heel but I like the way they feel and the way they walk. Great mid heel height also. I get tons of compliments on these boots, and they are a beautiful color. When you open the box you will not believe how cool they are. Every time I wear them I get compliments, Frye are definitely pricey but hopefully they will last for years. Next time I'll get a pair with a higher shaft though this boot height is great for any boot cut pant. Zappos is great to do business with!

Hot color, cool boots! Fantastic boots as usual from Frye but I am a big fan from way back. The boots run 1/2 size smaller as usual (am an 8, take a 7.5) Fit great out of the box. Some of their styles go on easier with a trouser or thin sock. Recommend wearing with a med. or thin sock for best fit. Not cheap but great quality, have pairs that have lasted 15 years w/heavy wear. Make the cheaper brands hard to go back to. (Wear my boots almost daily in fall/winter/early spring.) The red is just right, not too tame, not too bright. Usual great service from Zappos. Highly recommended all around.

My colleagues at work are drooling - Because I am never at home for daytime deliveries, I had these boots sent to my workplace. Besides the fact that they arrived in about 36 hours, they were the highlight of our Friday lunch time action. I modeled them for all of my co-workers and their burnt brick red, marble-y look leather turned everyone's heads. From the motorcycling techie guy and the 20 year-old hip hop-inspired woman to the 60+ classicly styled administrator/hip grandmother and the 30ish retro chic administrative assistant, hands down, everyone was drooling! Later, several other people showed up in my office because they heard about these boots from others and they wanted to see for themselves. My colleagues can't wait until it is cold enough for me to show up in boots again! Way to make a Friday fun around here. As a professor at a university, several of my students tell me that they love to come to class to see what shoes I am wearing. These boots will certainly inspire great attendance this fall and winter (I hope that my classes aren't that boring that my shoes are the only draw).

As with so many others, I had to try more than one pair. The 9, my regular size, was too roomy and too wide for my narrow foot. The 8.5 was a snugger fit but my toes hit the front. I adore the boot and wish I could make them work for me but cannot. Thank you Zappos team for trying.

I have wanted these boots for years and have owned many pairs of Frye boots. The moral of this story goes to the folks at Zappos who once again exceeded customer service expectations. I originally ordered another boot, and hated it, exchanged for another color of this model, which was horrible (gray/black)The kind folks allowed me to exchange for the brown, which were very obviously unmatched. Looked like 2 completely different boots in color, toe box, etc. Zappos allowed me to keep the pair and order another to see if there was a better match the second time around, before I sent the first pair back! I am happy to say that this effort was a success. That said, however, this pair does not exactly match either, so I am concerned Frye is losing its quality control, but I am ignoring that and keeping them. They are narrower than I expected. I had them stretched. Thank you Zappos for understanding the concept of customer service and allowing your employees to make decisions that keep us coming back!

Color was NOT as expected. More brown than I expected. To me, Smoke = more grey. And I have a narrow foot, but these were VERY narrow. Between the narrowness and the firmness of the leather, I didn’t want to chance it, cool boots, just didn’t fit!!!!

The boots are beautiful, the Chocolate Vintage color is really awesome. But the circumference is too wide; it kind of hurts your ankles when you walk. The boots feel heavy, I can't really walk with them and had to return them.

These boots are incredibly narrow! If you have wide feet don't even try! Also the smoke color is not black it is brown. There were also imperfections in the stitching and basic design of the boots I received.
