Hi KLJ!:flowers:

Here is what is going on with the Dark Brown!
I talked to my CSA at FRYE and the deal is that this Style of FRYE Boots has been made since Fall of 2008 in Dark Brown!
So there has been many variations on the color called Dark Brown.
Some are like mine which are almost a Black and the latest from Fall of 2010 are like the ones pictured on their website which are a far lighter shade than mine.
The Problem is if you buy them from someone else other than FRYE you may receive old stock from a previous year and NOT get the color that you see on the FRYE Home site.
So really there is no way to tell what color a store has since the they all have the same Style Number 77535DBN for that color since 2008.
I hope this clears this up for you!:ghi5:

Hi Matt!!!:flowers:

This is PERFECT info..and just what I was after. Thanks so much!
I talked to an SA at Frye who offered to look at 3 or 4 pr's personally and check out the color for me but it sounds like yours had the specifics on the years, etc..which is good to know. I think the Frye boots on their site will be the safe bet to get the color I want.
Hope life is treating you well! Nice to "see" ya too..;)

I received my very first pair of Frye Harness Mules this week and I'm in love with them. I purchased them in the black oiled leather and omg they are gorgeous.

I normally wear 8-8.5 in shoes but always socks with boots so I thought I'd get them in 9 and it works for me. I have flat and broad feet and have had problems all my life trying to find a shoe/boot that will accommodate the width, everything is too snug. Not with these mules now.

My heel hits the back part of the mule just right, there's maybe 3/4" to spare right at the tip of the mules. It took a few hours to break in and get use to the feel of these, they are so stable.

multiview and video at Zappos:

I'm hoping I have the patience to wait until I can get the same version in the Harness boot 8R for winter wear!!!!!

does anyone know what the "R "or the "W" stands for when it shows up on Zappos? I see Harness 8R W or just 8R etc. I don't think it's regular or wide tho...?

Found better pics~
This is the color brown I'm after...came from Frye's site

Hi, the 3rd or 4th reviewer on Zappos described this brown as a reddish warm toned brown or chestnut brown, looks nothing like what is shown like a charcoal brown. I saw it was labeled "Blazer Brown" on Zappos here:

Does this help?

Hi rainrowan!:flowers:

First off, I L:love:VE The Harness Mules!
Can't wait till you post some modeling Pictures of them!:popcorn:

Secondly, Great questions!;)

As far as the "R" goes that is just part of the style name.
The "W" as from what I was told stands for Women's this was adopted since FRYE makes The Harness 8R and several other styles in both mens and women's versions.
This is just a letter that was added recently as there is a slight difference in the instep, the heels, and the arch of these boots between the Men's and Women's.
The old stock women's Harness 8R's are the same as the Harness 8R W's it just a new labeling so people don't confuse the men's and women's of the same style.
As far as the "L" it stands for leather soles.
As far as the "G" it stands for Rubber Luged soles,
I hope this helps everyone out!:ghi5:

Thank you SO much for this informative reply!! Now I won't feel as clueless trying to sort through all the different options when shopping online now. Given that I've had problems in the past with my feet, I wonder if my rather mannish feet are better suited to a men's boot. I will certainly considering try both versions of men and women's Frye boots in the future.

Went out and walked around the mall for almost 5 hours today in my new mules. Excellent! Just a little sore from the change to 2" heel (from flat clogs) but it was incredibly comfortable entire time I was in them. I must say, I felt taller and totally pulled together with these on and they made my jeans go from looking sloppy to slick very easily.

I even splurged on some Reebock ankle socks with support -- tho I'm sure sock connoiseurs know what socks are better...

Hi everyone! I'm about to buy my first Frye - a classic black, everyday, work-appropriate, comfortable, less than $250, and feminine. I'm so confused 'cause I'm only depending on your reviews and online photos; we don't have Fryes in Australia. Please help! 12R Harness, Engineer, Jane 14 stitch or ? Thanks in advance!

Hi Matt! Knowing that you're the Frye guru here, your comment is very much appreciated. I'm a 39 in Zara, 8 in Gap flats, 8 1/2 in Nine West, and 9 in Nike running shoes. Should I get an 8 1/2 in Jane 14 stitch? Thanks again! ;)

Hi Weddell!:flowers:

Thanks! You flatter me!:blushing:
I would go with the 8.5M as these are very True to size!
I know that nike's always run small but unless you have a wide foot I stay with the 8.5M!:ghi5:
