## Overview

The FRYE Men's Engineer 12R Boot is a premium leather boot made in the USA, featuring a durable rubber sole and Goodyear welt construction. With a 14.25" boot opening and a stylish stacked leather heel, these boots combine comfort and elegance, making them perfect for any occasion.

## Description

The men's Engineer 12R boot from Frye has a rugged character and rough attitude but exudes pure style. This attractive pull-on boot has an oiled leather upper with brushed silver hardware, two adjustable buckle details for a custom fit, neoprene oil resistant soles with a full-length leather midsole for maximum comfort and durability, and a cushioned insole for additional comfort. Made in USA. The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. Founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well-to-do shoemaker from England, and family-run until 1945, Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers on both sides of America's Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-American war, and by Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. When home-steading drew adventurous New England families to the West during the mid and late 1800's many of the pioneers wore Frye Boots for the long journey. Today Frye remains true to its roots with its line of heritage boots, but continues to innovate as it introduces chic new handbags, pumps, and sandals to its collection.

Review: SIZING! (Awesome Boots) - I love these boots. However, I didn't listen to others who have said these boots run large. SO... I ordered my regular size 9.5, then sent em right back and got the size 9. The desertcart seller, Mind Boggler, was really great in communications, being helpful with the return/exchange, etc.- BTW. I guess these boots come in a "regular" width, and a wider version. I have a reasonably "normal" width foot- I'm guessing more or less a "D" width. The size 9 boots are (also as previously mentioned by other reviewers) a tight fit. I couldn't get into them initially- tight across the top of my feet. I have high arches. I'm not certain that has anything to do with the tightness, but thought I'd mention it. I actually took the boots to a local shoe repair guy who stretched them for a few days. They still go on a little tight, but they feel great and I'm sure the boots will relax somewhat and break in to fit my foot really well. I look forward to many years of comfort and protection from the Frye Engineer 12R boot. One other bonus that's worth mentioning:These particular boots are Made In The USA. Not all of today's Frye boots are, but several of their original boots are still bench crafted right here in the USA. PAY HEED TO THE SIZING issues. But by all means, if this is the style of boot you're looking for, it's worth the cost to buy the Frye.
Review: Really nice boots! - These are my 2d pair of Frye boots, the other being a pair of their Harness 12R model. I have traditionally worn Chippewa engineer boots, as that company was the original manufacturer of this style of boot (specifically their steel toe #27863 model.) Unfortunately, my last pair of Chippewa's had some issues with squeaky soles and an overly snug toe cap that no amount of breaking in and several visits to my cobbler couldn't resolve. So I finally decided to replace them with these Frye engineer boots. Out of the box, they are extremely comfortable. Very nice fitting boots that should break in quickly. These boots retain the classic engineer look that has been around for decades. Some differences I notice from those made by Chippewa: Frye doesn't offer a steel toe option, their boot shaft is also about an inch plus shorter than those made by Chippewa, the leather doesn't seem quite as thick as the "Black Odessa" type used by Chippewa, and the Frye boots seem substantially lighter in weight.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like it a lot...
*by H***A on November 22, 2013*

Good boots, well made, look good. I have one issue that I am hoping it will go away. The left foot only feels tight, the length is good but feels tight, since it is real leather I am hoping it will loosen up. The right foot is perfect. I thought it is me, but I do not have this problem with any other boot/shoe; thinking of Frye Smith Engineer boot possibly in a few month.
