Frye Women's Harness 8R Boot - Stylin' Short Harness for Women

If you're looking for a classic harness style boot in a shorter version, the Frye Women's Harness 8R is an excellent choice.

Why I recommend this boot: My honest answer to this is the looks - they're simple, and the look is very much "in" - versatile enough to wear with just about anything amounting to casual wear.

They feature a bit of a squared toe, without too much of a blunt - nice look and quite feminine.

Best Shopping: This women's Frye Harness boot is actually available from a number of merchants (more in the colder months of the year) - current best listings for this boot can be found below:

Although these boots are also available for men, the boots above are strictly women's styles and sizes. Click any of the above photo links for more information and/or reviews for Women's Frye Harness 8R boot.

Frye Maxine Harness - Gorgeous Riding Inspired Style Boot from Frye

If you're on the lookout for a gorgeous riding-style boot, you might just want to give the Frye Maxine Harness more than a little "look-see". These Women's Frye Harness boots have a basic and sleek style - actually "elegant" or "sophisticated" are completely appropriate for this women's boot.

The can be found in several different colors and are available in either suede or a full-grain leather upper.

Per ladies' reviews, not only are they great looking, but they're also quite comfy!

Best Shopping: The Frye Maxine Harness is definitely available from Zappos (as of this writing) - below you will find all available styles from one or more merchants (I keep these listings updated, so if there are more merchants offering this boot you can compare prices and find markdowns more easily):

Tip: If there are any listings above from Endless, you might find that there are multiple colors and materials to choose from, even though only one color might be shown above.

If you're shopping, I hope this helps you find the perfect Frye Maxine Harness! =)

Frye Veronica Harness - Popular Style in the Women's Frye Harness Collection

Although the most popular style of women's harness boots from Frye is the Frye Women's Harness 12R, coming in a "strong second" in terms of popularity appears to be the Frye Veronica Harness.

The Veronica Harness from the Women's Frye Harness collection takes the classic look of the 12R and adds to it a bit with extra studding about the harness strap and the pull straps at the top. They feature a relatively low heel which is great for ladies who prefer that look and feel - or if they just want to add a bit of variety to their footwear collection!

Best Shopping: So far, in terms of price the best deal I personally have found (from merchants) on the Frye Veronica Harness Boot has been from Endless - however Zappos is competitively low and prices may vary - here's some easy listings from both merchants (plus one or two more if they come up:

As I mentioned above, you might find a better price for the style you want from one place to another at different times, but I'll keep these listings updated so you can get a current look.

Harley El Paso Boots for Women - Short Harness Style, Where to Buy

Harley El Paso boots for women are a great look for those ladies who love a harness boot with a shorter "above the ankle" style.

Whether you are someone who loves to ride or not, these women's Harley Davidson boots look great - they have a traditional harness style (very hot these days) and they have a lower price than other brands of harness boots without sacrifice of quality whatsoever. (In fact - did you know that Harley Davidson makes some of the highest quality boots for women - rivaling even the most expensive brands.)

If you're mid shopping for these boots, here are some suggestions - places I've found with low pricing as well as free and fast shipping:

Harley El Paso Boots for Women @ Endless - Here you will actually not only get the shipping free, but you can often get them overnight. Pretty sweet.

Harley Davidson El Paso @ Zappos - You might find the price a bit higher here than Endless, but their prices are competitive so check to see if they're available for a markdown - and you might love Zappos! They are known for having the best service online.

Traditionally I check eBay.com for almost anything I'm doing price shopping for, unfortunately I didn't find the El Paso for women there - but my guess is that you will be happy with purchasing the Harley El Paso boots for women from either of the resources given above.

Harley Faded Glory Boots - Now We're Talkin'!

Alrighty then! Harley Faded Glory Boots - these practically need no introduction.

Even if these women's Harley boots were the most uncomfortable, burdensome boots ever, I probably would still wear them as often as I could just for their looks. (Fortunately they're not known to be either uncomfortable or burdensome!)

For women who love a style that includes studs, belts, buckles to go along with their footwear this might just be one of the hottest low-cut boots ever made.

The only negative that I have found about the Harley Faded Glory boots has been for ladies who ride - or more accurately, drive a motorcycle. Apparently these don't work well coupled with a shifter, but one woman has said that a minor adjustment fixed that right up and she wore them for riding with some serious style.

Best Shopping: Harley Faded Glory boots are one of the more popular boots from Harley Davidson for women, and going along with that is a wider variety of shopping resources online. Of all shopping however, I recommend...

Zappos - Best service online for footwear, competitive pricing, free and fast shipping.
Shoebuy - Similar pricing (maybe even a bit lower), similar shipping and returns policies.
eBay auctions - Here you will likely find the lowest price for the Faded Glory boots - but with that comes additional shipping costs (usually) and the returns policies for sellers can vary - just make sure you do your homework before you make a bid.

Women's Harley Faded Glory boots are one of those things that - at least from my viewpoint - are hard to live without once you see them. Right up the Fashion Fiend alley!!! =)

Harley Hustin Boots for Women - Sweeeet.

For those (of us) women who love a harness style boot, Harley Hustin Boots for Women are most definitely worth giving a good check.

Here's why I love these boots: They have a similar style to other makes of boots - fabulous construction and quality as well. But - they don't have a "similar" price tag - they are priced usually at least $50 less than other brands of harness boots for women, and that's at retail price! But, the main reason I love them is that they just look hot. =)

I did some studying up on women's reviews for these Women's Harley boots - not only are they overwhelmingly positive but there are so many reviews in the first place - dozens! And, that is just from a single resource online where I read them. (When you see so many reviews submitted for a single item, it's a good sign that they are a good purchase, at least in my experience.)

Best Shopping - Harley Hustin Boots for Women: There are actually a few resources for this particular boot where I would compare prices on them:

Zappos.com - Competitive low pricing, free fast shipping and free returns if an exchange is needed.
Endless.com - Same as above.
eBay.com - Lowest possible price, but you will pay for shipping (probably), and you might not recieve them as quickly. You also should check up on the seller's return policy before making a bid.

Harley Hustin Boots for women are oh-so-stylin' - whether you ride or not and I most definitely give them a big "Fashion Fiend thumbs up!"

Harley Kelly Boots - Great Riding Boots, Sleek All 'Round

OK ladies - here are some sleek and stylin' boots to give a check - Harley Kelly Boots.

These boots come in toward the top of the "best selling" list for Women's Harley Boots - obviously for women who ride, but also for women who like the look of a simple but stylish medium-height boot with a lace-up style.

A few notes about Harley Kelly Boots: These (simply from looking at the photo) appear that they might be just a bit on the "heavy" side - but they're not. They're actually quite lightweight while still remaining quite well put together and durable. They also have a "touch of feminine" to them, while still being on the "tough" fashion side of the fence. One more thing - you can't tell this from the photo here, but there is an inside zipper to make them super easy to get on and off.

Shopping Info: My first choice to buy these boots is Shoebuy.com - you'll find them for a low and competitive price while receiving them with no shipping costs, and free returns if needed. Anther place to look is Harley Kelly Boots on eBay

. You'll probably find them on eBay for the lowest price, but keep in mind that you will likely be paying shipping and the return policies of sellers can vary.

If you're on the hunt for some great looking all-purpose boots, or would like riding boots that are light and easy to wear, Harley Kelly boots are a great choice.

Harley Dakota Boots - Looking for Great Western Style?

One of the sleekest and most stylish western boots for women I've come across these days are Harley Dakota Boots.

These boots combine sturdy construction (typical of Harley Davidson apparel), strong fashion sense - and of course, they make great riding boots!

Also - if you're looking for some seriously stylin' western boots, but are dreading that "break in" period where feet are sore and the boots can only be worn for short periods of time, then dread no more! The Dakota boots are also well known for their soft leather that works with the foot without cramping or pinching feet - nice. =)

Recommended Shopping: Harley Dakota @ Zappos - You'll normally find them for a nice markdown price there, you'll get them with free and fast shipping.

Additional Resource: Harley Dakota Boots on eBay

- Quite a few auctions, and talk about markdowns! From what I've seen you can actually get them for the lowest prices online - but you may be required to pay additional shipping costs and likely it will take more time to receive them with Zappos.

Women's Frye Harness - The Carmen Harness Boot

Hey ladies - I just spotted this new Women's Frye Harness boot, and wanted to give a quick update - this is the (lovely) Frye Carmen Harness boot - shown left is the "short" version (there is also a tall).

It seems to me that Frye is getting more versatile and even more stylish than ever before! This is my new favorite in the entire collection from Frye.

Recommended Shopping: I found this style from a few trusted merchants online (shown below). You pretty much can't go wrong when shopping from any of them with the service you get and free shipping and returns when needed. They are competitively priced there as well - below are the different versions and colors available - click on any of the listings here for more info or to buy:

I think that coming into the fall and winter season this year, the Women's Frye Carmen Harness will see a rush of women wanting to buy it -- the harness strap adds both a "touch of rugged" and a most definite look of feminine flair!

Women's Harley Boots - Tough & Feminine Fashion, Where to Shop

There is one emerging women's fashion trend that I am particularly fond of - I call it "tough fashion" but with a distinct feminine edge. Women's Harley boots fall right into this trend, making not only some of the most strikingly stylish boots, but also quite well known for making styles that last "forever".

While studying up on this trend of belts, buckles and harnesses (complete with studs) - this "tough fashion" look, I began to notice the name "Harley Davidson" more and more - not a surprise considering they have already been making women's boots with a bit of an edge for years.

Here are a few of the top-selling styles for women from Harley Davidson - with some of the best shopping available online. (Just check out these looks and the variety!)

The hottest sellers of the boots above include the Faded Glory and the women's Harley Hustin boots - these are probably the longest-term hot sellers, and are not only stylish but are great riding boots as well. The rest of them are some of the more up and coming looks and I predict will also be around for a long time to come.

I've always had a bit of a leaning toward a edgy look for women - the perfect "tough fashion" can add so much to a feminine look!
