Customer Reviews Frye Engineer 12R

Lovely boot, unfortunately they did not fit. i wish they made them with a zipper on the side. I'm sure my feet would have space inside, it's just impossible to get them in :-( I will try a bigger size, but I have a feeling it will be too loose, once my feet are in. Such a bummer.

These shoes were pricey but well worth it!

I have always, always wanted a pair of red boots. Always. I only buy Frye boots, and only American-made Frye boots at that. I had already the harness 8r, harness americana short, and the Campus. Then I saw the engineer boot in the lovely burnt red color. There were very few left for sale, but I secured a pair in size 9, which is my Frye size. These boots were decidedly too small. I was shocked but exchanged for a 9.5. I am telling you I almost could have gone for a 10, as these boots really do run small. All my other Fryes broke in effortlessly - not so with these. Oh, I almost gave up a number of times, but the red boots called to me, and off we'd go on another dog walk. I got blisters. On both feet. In different places. Repeatedly. I have never worked this hard to break in a boot, but I am here to tell you....it was worth it. We got off to a rough start, my red engineers and I, but we are inseparable now. They are like slippers, though they prefer you think of them as tough little buggers, which they are. When I walk in them, the heel makes a satisfying sound that conveys authority, which I love. When the time came to condition and clean them up, I applied the Frye cream all over the boots. It darkened them to a lovely cherry red, the red they have always wanted to be! Complete strangers will stop me to talk about these boots. I don't know if it's the color or the style, but when I slip them on with my sun dresses and shorts, people notice. Get yourself the harness 12r and the engineer 12r and maybe a Campus and you are set for life!

These boots have molded to my feet and are the only pair of shoes I've worn since I got them. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but after about two weeks of regular wear to break them in (I swabbed the inside three times with alcohol to loosen the leather) they fit perfectly. I have high arches and they don't pinch or rub anymore. I have wide feed and they hug them without squeezing. They are awesome.

I love these boots! They fit great and look amazing. I ordered 1/2 size larger than I usually wear because a review said they were a little snug. I think I could have gone either size. Good job Zappos!

This is my first pair of Frye boots and I'm really glad I bought them. They're gorgeous in person and they fit perfectly. I saw a couple other reviews about sizing problems with the boot opening but I didn't have any issues. I normally wear an 8 or an 8 1/2 and the 8 fits me perfectly with extra toe room. The Madden boots I bought last year have nothing on these boots. Would definitely recommend!

These look fantastic! I didn't have any problems getting them on or off. I always wear a 6.5, and these were true to size but a little roomy. Plenty of room for a warmer sock in winter. I'm 5'3", and while my calves aren't huge, they are definitely round and solid -- despite this, the boots are pretty flattering over jeans. The first time I wore these I could feel a seam or something in the footbed of one shoe -- a few other reviews mentioned this. It wasn't uncomfortable and now I can't feel it anymore. Overall a great buy!

These boots are gorgeous. The leather is high quality and they are finely made. I have wide, big feet, and after reading reviews about it being difficult to get these babies on the first couple of times I was considering ordering a size up, but I am glad I didn't and just ordered my size. It is a bit of work getting them on the first few times, but the beauty of these boots is that they form to your foot. Just wear some pantyhose or thin socks to give your foot some slippiness and don't be shy about working it down into the boot.

I love these! First pair I ordered had a flaw I guess. One of the boots I just couldn't get on and had almost given up but then I shoved forward and pulled down on the heel which was folding over preventing it from fully getting on the foot. I just couldn't get over the thought of having to do that every time I put on the shoe. I called customer service after I decided to return them and had already printed the return label. I asked about exchanging and the service rep. wasn't really helpful and offered no exchange assistance. The more I thought about it I just felt like I should exchange and see if a new pair would be different. I did the chat message online with a customer service rep and they were very helpful and had a new pair to me the next day and told me just to send the other ones back or they would charge me if it was beyond 14 days. The boots came the next day and are perfect. They fit fine, slip on fine and don't need any kind of break in time. I am very happy with my purchase! I was worried about the brown brush off color maybe looking weird but I really like it.
