Thanks! The boot socks are actually sleeves cut from a long sleeve tshirt that I bought at Goodwill. So they're similar to leg warmers. I couldn't find anything I liked already made so I made my own. I like that they are rather thin so my tall boots aren't too tight on my calves.

That's a good idea! I think that Keen is the only company I've seen selling tall boot socks in recent memory, and I found they were tight on my widish calves. I can wear Keen boots but their socks were kind of tight on me.

What do you use to take care of Frye leather ?
They have two WEATHERPROOF DRESSING and WEATHER PROOF SPRAY.

Quick question bought these from Marshalls for $63(very surprised they made it to yellow tagged clearance)
They look to be the Veronica can anyone confirm and tell me your experience with fit?
They say they're a 7(can't find the actual size, sticker says 7) and they fit a tiny bit small width wise(never have an issue with that) and with socks their a tiny bit small.
I'd love to keep them because they are so cute and such a great price. Will they stretch?

I have 3 pairs of frye boots. They do mold to your feet and will stretch. You got them for a steal. You could also bring them to a shoemaker and they can stretch them for u. Another way is out them on with socks and get them soaked. Wear them like that for awhile so they form to your feet. I had to do this with a pair. Keep away from heat just let them dry on own then put a leather moisturizer on them. Sounds strange but worked for me
I use both the frye leather dressing and waterproof oil for all of my fryes. I use the dressing then put on the oil. Keeps them nice.
Wow - $63! That's a steal. And Frye boots will definitely stretch. Both of my Melissa buttons are a size smaller than my normal shoe size, and they stretched beautifully.
Thanks! I figured out they are the Veronica's and they run small so you need to get half a size up that's why they fit so small.
I bought a shoe stretcher so we'll see. They say to spray with half water half rubbing alcohol. Not sure if I wanna take the risk because at this point I can still return them.
I heated mine with a blow dryer and thick socks on and it worked a little. But I kept seeing sparks come from the leather and the finish melting, so I stopped.
I thought about water but I don't wanna ruin them beyond return if that doesn't work.
Hey guys! I just bought a pair of Engineers 8r online. THey were supposed to be used, but i can tell by looking at them they are new or nearly new. The problem: One shoe fit perfect, my foot went right in, feels great in the toe box...... the other shoe i couldnt even get my foot in to the shaft!! I finally put my foot in a bag and they did eventually slip in. I wore them around and they felt fine, a teeny bit tight above my ankle but on the top where my leg starts.......but this one boot needs to be stretched. Is there something i can do myself? or should i just take it to a cobbler? Im worried one boot will be different than the other! I bought them on etsy, and they have a return policy, but it's all the way to Canada and shipping will be costly. And the boots are so cute!!! a sand distressed color.......would really like to keep them
I have bought a few pairs of Frye boots and had to take them in to have them stretched. Here in central IL it only costs $12 a pair, and my shoe guy will keep trying until I am satisfied with the fit. Some have taken 4 or 5 tries before they are done! If it were me, I would try this route, especially if you really like the boots. I doubt that the difference between boots would be noticeable, but that is my own experience. The sand colour is very cute and unusual- great choice! Good luck and let us know what you decide.
You really did luck out! The only Fryes I have ever seen in that store were some funky, brown and white pony hair boots- definitely not my style. Awesome steal, er, deal!
Thanks! Still too small and I've tried, shoe stretcher(too big to fit where I need stretched) freezing them and heating them.
So I either return or take them to be professionally stretched which could work or not.
