Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.
The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

I am a person who has never written a review about anything, and I had to say something about these boots. They are amazing! I got them in the smooth cognac. When I opened the box I seriously gasped because they were so gorgeous. The craftsmanship of the boot and quality of the leather is outstanding. I will have a very hard time ever buying boots from another company -- all others looks like junk compared to these. Totally worth every single penny.

I received the boots only to find that the zipper on the left boot would not go down all the way. It is a very difficult zipper even when it does work. I returned them after I called Zappos to let them know of this defect. They were out of stock so I didn't receive a replacement. I reordered a week later and again zipper did not work on the left boot. Could this be the same pair that I ordered a week prior? Also they are very tight around the calf and I have average size calfs. I did order on Amazon when Zappos was out of stock and again the zippers were very difficult to work. I feel that Frye needs to re-look at this product zipper since the price point is very high for this kind of issue.

I just ordered & received the Frye Phillip Harness Tall boots. I really love the style of these boots, the low heel, and the beautiful dark brown color. Even though I am a 6½ wide width shoe (5'3" and 132 pounds), the footbed was just a tad snug. A little break in would most likely stretch the leather in that respect. The footbed did feel pretty darn great, however, I have 14½" calves and a high instep and could hardly get these babies zipped! My legs felt like they were in sausage casings! That was too bad because out of the two I selected to try, this pair, hands down, was my favorite. I have no choice but to return them. For you ladies with smaller calves, these are great looking boots! Two stars for comfort due to tight leg/calve.

I bought these boots directly from Frye and they are absolutely beautiful. As other people have noted, it's a bit of a struggle to zip them up initially but I've had them for a couple of weeks and they are a lot easier to zip up now. They have a very snug fit around the calf, which I like. I ordered the black and they are not distressed at all...just really soft and supple. I'm 5'2 and the shaft hits below the knee. All in all, a fantastic-looking, great-fitting, quality boot.

I have purchases many shoes and boots from Zappos over the years, I have never written a review before. These boots are the cutest ones I have seen in a long time. I bought the Cognac Stone Antiqued, they are gorgeous. I always buy boots in size 8 1/2, I go 8-8 1/2 in shoes. They fit so well, I love the flat heel, they are fab. If I had the money, I would buy more colors. Love.
