Hello. I am new here and was wondering about how Frye harness boots size runs. I am looking at getting some Frye harness boots off ebay, because I live nowhere around a place that carries frye for me to go in and try on a size to see what fits. I have to just go off the interenet and chance it really. I was looking at these boots here

Really hoping they would fit me, because I wear a size 9.5 in shoes like ****, but 10's in Carolina Boot's. Anybody know if these would fit snug, or would they be to big on me? Thanks for helping a newbie out

 

Be careful of flat smooth sole boots, just a little sand or gravel as you put your foot down and it will slide right out from under you. if you want harness boots get some with a lug sole.

 

Oddly enough those are the next Frye's I want to buy. That's a great deal. That said, I have 3 pairs of Frye boots and they run true to size. They require some break in.

 

Beware that those are display models, who knows how many stinky feet have been in them!

 

Suede boots are gonna look like hell after about a month or so of use. I agree that the smooth sole is an accident just waiting to happen

 

Assuming you are buying these boots for riding and you are just dying to have them because of the way they look, buy 'em and have your local shoesmith replace the worthless flat soles with quality Vibram soles. It will cost you $100 to $130 for parts and labor. Your total is going to be around $169.99 + $100 (or $130) = $269.99 to $299.99.

If you are buying these boots as regular street shoes, then you don't have to replace the soles.

 

I have those boots as my regular riding boots.

My feet exactly 11inches and I have size 11.

I don't know how the suede will hold up... I have the leather in charcoal.

 

How do you like them ballking? Are they a narrow boot? Does the charcoal have a distressed look to it in the color? Does it make it seem like you have a big foot with the toe it has?

 

They fit true to size. These boots on the Web page have leather bottoms and are slick really slick! Not good for riding and that is from experience.

 

I have a pair of these boots. Great boot, very sturdy and well made. Agree that they fit true to size and are a bear to break in. I've never worn them riding and for all of the reasons above, along with the fact that they are VERY stiff, never would. My 2 cents - buy em for the great price and for wearing them any and everywhere EXCEPT riding.
