Hi,

Can anyone provide me a real pic or opinion on the Frye Elena pull on boot? I'm a little uneasy about a pull on, they rarely fit. I have good luck with Frye boots generally but have always stuck to a style with an an ankle strap.

Thanks!

If anyone is interested, there's a great sale on several Frye boots at https://www.blissboutiques.com/designers/frye/. The downside is that all sales are final and you pay $9.00 shipping. I got the Melissa Boot in Shearling for $199.99!:happydance:

Also, shoemall.com has a 30% flash sale today, and it typically includes Frye as well. They have a smaller selection, but they have the regular Melissa and women's 12R Harness boot. Free Shipping.

Does anyone have the women's original Engineer boots in the shorter shaft lengths? Do you find it impossible to get your instep into them? I just received a pair, I don't have time right now but I am going to have to try them on with a plastic bag later, I couldn't get them on just now. Then I'm afraid I won't be able to get them off. Do they loosen up at all? I have slightly high insteps.

I have the Engineer 8R. The instep was tight at first and loosen up in a week or so. Loosen the buckle to help. They still kinda bug me after 3 years but, my instep is very sensitive. I have some weird nerve issue or something where stuff hurts there.

I did undo the buckle. Well,I will have to fight them on and see how they fit my feet. Usually I size 1/2 down in Frye but lately I have been needing my true size (10) So I have to see how these fit should I get them on lol.

I had a pair of short Frye Engineers. I sized down 1/2 a size and had no problems slipping my foot in them even with the buckle fastened. They fit perfectly and never really loosened up. Have you tried a shoe horn?

Good idea I have a long boot shoehorn. I just haven't had time to fight with them yet lol. Maybe get to it today. I didn't size down because I had a pair half-sized down and they ended up being too small. Hope these fit. I just know it's my instep is the problem, they are a little high. I hope I can keep these boots I got them in a Sand color they look very cool (Zappos)

Hello ladies... Could anyone here tell me how the Campus 14L and Sabrina 14L compare in height? I am leaning toward the Sabrina at this point because of the toe. I am 5'3" and would like the extra height as well. Thanks in advance.

I would like to purchase my first pair of frye boots.
I am looking at the veronica slouch in dark brown.
Should I stay with this color choice or should I get black instead?
Is this a good selection for my first Frye boots?
Your thoughts and suggestions are well appreciated...
:)

Hello! I'm so glad I came across this page while researching Frye boots!

I've got a dilemma on my hands and was hoping someone could offer advice: Recently I bought my first ever pair -- the Veronica Back Zip -- but can't figure out if the fit is right. No matter how thick the socks, my heels always lift when I walk. I read elsewhere that this is typical for western-style boots and that the leather needs time to mold to your foot. If anyone here owns a pair, what has been your experience?
I want a pair of tall boots that fit snugly ... maybe this isn't the style for me?

Thanks in advance! :ty:
