FRYE Women's Harness 8R Boot

 (26 customer reviews)

After a lot of agonizing, I decided to order the 8R instead of the 12R harness boot. I wanted something I could wear every day with jeans, and just slip in and out of. They are great. I love the vintage finish, and the way they look. They are a little stiff, and I am hoping they will loosen up a bit with time. I met a woman the other day with the same boots, and she said she's had hers for 4 years. They looked to still be in perfect shape. I sized down a half size. Normally I wear and 8, but I got a 7.5 and I'm glad I did. They fit perfectly.

Frye are primo boots and they'll last a lifetime. I bought this style in black and brown but had to send them both back. It's not the fault of the boot, which is an amazing piece of footwear; it's just that my feet are too wide! So, until Frye makes a wide-sized boot it looks like I'm limited to the $15 no-name faux leather variety. BooHoo for me but WooHoo for you if you've got normal feet -- these boots rock!

These of course are very well made and high quality boots. Nothing was wrong with that part of it and the color is very close to the picture. But! I didn't read about the circumference problem until after I received them. If you calf is about 13 inches or smaller and you prefer a boot that will go well under jeans and u can wear with skirts and dresses as well. Save yourself the time and do not get these boots. Amazon and most other websites will tell you the shaft circumference. I would highly advise to read that first. I would say its close to 15in. and my calf is a 12. I'm fairly petite but not that little and the boots made me look like a little girl wearing her mothers shoes. From now on I know to read about the shaft circumferences sizes ahead of time. I determined to find the right frye boot for my smaller calf's, Frye's still rule!
