Look gorgeous, runs narrow
"The leather is buttery soft, easy to put on and take off. I got them in forest and they look great! The toe box runs narrow though, which is a little disappointing. I sized up 0. 5 - usually wear 8, but 8. 5 fit perfect!"

Nice Boot Sadly 2 Different fits
"Boot quality is nice, unfortunately no consistency in fit. Left boot very narrow and tight across top of foot and heel loose so foot slipped out when I walked. Right boot fit fine in arch and toe box but heel was too loose. For price I expected much better fit especially since my feet are same size and other Frye boots ordered with these boot fit just fine."
"The Frye cleaning kit was placed on top of my leather boots. In the shoe box! The movement during shipping scratched up the boots, and I need these boots for my daughter’s birthday in five days. Now, I have to drive over an hour to ship them back."
Style and fit are great,
"Style and fit are great, however both boots squeak when I walk. I have multiple pairs of Frye boots and this is the first issue I’ve had, so it won’t deter me from future purchases."
Have owned Frye boots for
"Have owned Frye boots for over 25 years and I Absolutely Love them! I thought these looked cool so I ordered a pair. Unfortunately, the taoe are looked like someone took sandpaper to them, in stead of a modest scuffed and. That sadly made it a deal breaker for me. This Absolutely Will NOT deter me from continuing to by Frye. Im a Frye girl for Life ❤️"
Disappointing quality for an iconic style
"I have owned Frye boots for years, starting with a pair years ago that fully justified its price tag. However, the quality has steadily declined. My second pair had quality control issues, and this third purchase—the iconic Harness 12R—is by far the worst. The initial pair was defective, and the replacement feels equally cheap, with paper-thin leather and a poor-quality outsole. To make matters worse, my original review detailing these issues was removed rather than addressed. On top of the quality issues, shortly after buying at 35% off, the price dropped further to 40% off. Receiving subpar quality on a signature boot—only to watch the price immediately fall again—leaves a lot to be desired from a brand of this reputation."
"I love these boots. They fit like a glove."
"Love the new additions to my Frye collection"
Extremely Disappointed – Massive Drop in Quality
"As a long-time customer who owns older Frye boots from over 10 years ago, I am extremely disappointed with this purchase. Unfortunately, this iconic brand has experienced a severe decline in craftsmanship and quality control. Quality Control Issues: The first pair arrived with a visible defect that never should have passed inspection. While customer service handled the exchange, the replacement pair proved that the overall quality has plummeted. Inferior Materials: For a $500 boot, the materials are unacceptable. The leather is paper-thin, and the outsole is made of cheap plastic/rubber reminiscent of discount footwear. A leather outsole should be standard at this price point. Worse Timing & Value: I regret this purchase even more because the discount dropped to 40% immediately after I bought mine at 35%. Even at 40% off, the boots are vastly overpriced. Lack of Consumer Confidence: The heavy discounting and excess inventory clearly reflect that customers are refusing to buy Frye due to inflated prices, inferior quality, and poor customer service. I gave Frye another chance because of their legacy, but I deeply regret it and will not be buying from them again."
