got the boots today in slate using the code "EXTRA". It worked out fine so i think it's okay to still use it.

good to know! thanks!!
i noticed there was a buckle on the leg - i'm crossing my fingers hoping that means it's very adjustable and will accommodate my calves. thanks a bunch! gonna order now!!

Oops, I meant to say the boots run 1/2 size small (thus requiring a larger size for me!). Sorry if I confused anyone

plumabob -- yes, there are three holes in the buckle at the calf. It's also helpful when if you want to tuck jeans into them, you can undo the buckle, slip the jeans into the boots, then buckle back up. Otherwise, it'd be tricky to tuck jeans inside.

Thanks ladies!!

I took the plunge and ordered the hadley boots - really the Frye Paige Buckle boots. I am so excited, I hope I love them, they will be my first pair of Frye's.

I just got my boots today and i love them. I got the slate color and in person they appear much darker than they look online. still a great color!

kdo · Jan 13th, 2009, 08:36 PM

I got my slate pair today too. They are dark, I don't even know how to describe the color, but certainly not the grey I was anticipating. But I LOVE them. They are one of the best fitting boots I have and very true to size.

BTW, does anyone know how Frye boots deal with wet weather?

Are the slate boots more like charcoal?

cciele · Jan 13th, 2009, 09:18 PM

To me, they are a greenish, medium, warm-toned gray. The name of the color, according to Frye, is "slate blue".

Hey I received the Paige boots today in my size but is anyone having trouble getting there leg in past the ankle area?

cciele · Jan 14th, 2009, 05:52 PM

Here's a pic. These are the Frye Veronica Slouch (Sundance "Engineer" boots) in slate. Hope it helps; I was actually photographing the tunic instead of the boots :)

LoveThatThing · Jan 14th, 2009, 10:07 PM

The Slate is a really nice color, it looks very nice with the tunic, thanks for the modeling pic, glad I ordered the slate from Sundance, too. Can't wait !!!
