Can you say comfortable Apr 14, 2008
Absolutely love these boots. They are comfortable and not clunky. Order half size smaller as they run big

WOW!!! Apr 07, 2008
Wow! Does not begin to explain how great these boots really are! I followed the advice from many of the other reviewers and went with a half size smaller (I'm usually an 8 and I went with a 7 1/2) this proved to be perfect. I also have very muscular calves and have never found a boot with ample enough room these are them! Right out of the box the quality was obvious, the leather was soft like butter and the stitching was magnificent. I needed these boots for school as a welder and for play! They have held up to the abuse I have shown them and with a little saddle soap to clean them up I can wear them out on the town the same day. I would highly recommend these boots to anyone for work, school or play! I will enjoy them for many years to come!

Truly comfortable Apr 02, 2008
I was skeptical about a boot being comfortable. But it's true! I walked the streets of San Francisco all day for a week. No problem. And yes, order a half size down.
Comfort, Style and Durability! Feb 28, 2008
Having always wanted a pair of boots that were made to last and stylish, I finally decided to "reward" myself with the Women's Harness 12R style.
These boots look good with denim, and just enough heel makes today's boot cut styles hang right-- they are true to size, and I have worn them almost daily since they arrived.
I recommend these so much, I bought the Harness Mule the following week in a different color-- they are slightly edgy, comfortable and fun!

Oh. My. God. Mine at Last. Feb 22, 2008
Well, what can I say? I am one satisfied woman, thank you very much. And for someone who's never had a shoe fetish--I've had the same pair of shoes for a decade--I'm beginning to grow an obsessive love affair with Frye products.
First, understand that this is the first time I've ever bought shoes on line and for 215 bucks (+ shipping) for the 7.5 Tan Fryes. Really, ouch. But, my god. Heaven. Not only did they come super fast, but exactly as the pictures showed. Plus, I am the world's pickiest shoe buyer, hence, 10 year old shoes...
I'm barely 5'3, pretty short but I've got stocky legs. And while I fell in love with the boot style while abroad in Greece, and enviously saw how the Greek women could pull it off so well, I just couldn't find a pair that fit over my large calves. After two years, and I swear a million tries, I decided, what the hell, go for the expensive Fryes. And I hate shelling out dough for shoes. Hate. It. But...
Once I saw these, had to have. And boy, nearly perfect. Feminine but tough looking, solidly built and nice thick leather. I still can't get over it. They fit over my calves just a little tighter than I would have liked but with just a little room so no pinching, but considering most boots that go past the ankle was always a no-go, well...I was more than please. And, I've been told by others that they wear and stretch wondrously. The toe is a little more narrow than I'm used to and the heel a bit roomier. But surprisingly, I walk just fine and not too much movement or shifting. They're incredibly sturdy, on ice or even soft areas, even stiff and unworn, I felt awesome. The leather is supple, well crafted, AND made in the good ol' US of A, so I felt really patriotic flashing these around. Also, I've always had a wide foot so that's why the toe is a little more narrow than I'm used to, but while others said the size was a bit larger for them, for my wide feet, perfect. Someone mentioned the weight, yes, a bit heavy but easy to get used to if you wear them on a regular basis, I think. Doesn't deter me in the slightest.
If you check their site, these boots aren't listed, and the nearest ones to them were nearly 300 bucks alone. When I went to the only store out of god knows how many (and I tried a few on and that's how I knew the calves would be wide enough), the ones that were similar to these were also priced around 300 bucks. And knock offs, why bother, get the real deal. When I compared the two at the store, the difference is so obvious, it's obscene. Even I, who buy cheap, cheap shoes, was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. That's what really bowled me over, seeing them, feeling them and weighing them in my hands. Real shoes, people. Real. Shoes.
And I wasn't aware of it, but several of my aunts and uncles have only worn Frye boots, and absolutely swear by them. They last forever when taken care of, and even if you're a bit lazy, still last. You just can't go wrong. One my uncles has had a pair for almost 20 years, and the leather is nice and soft, with a nice worn look from over the years and molded perfectly for his feet and legs. But remember, if you're wearing them all the time, and on hard surfaces, the heel and soles will wear quickly. So have a good shoe repair place in mind, otherwise the boots will be ruined--forever.
All in all. A new obsession has bloomed, and it's called F-R-Y-E. And I'm already thinking of buying another pair...
