I'm also 5'2" with fairly small calves and I've found that the boots with the zip shafts fit me the best. The Philip Harness Tall is my favorite and is even a bit snug on me, so they might work for you. Some people size up for them but I wear my regular size.

Do they hit right below the knee on you? I was also concerned about shaft height. I love the Melissa Button Back Zip though! I might need to call Frye and see if they have circumference measurements for different sizes.

I have very slim calves too and the Melissa Button Back Zip are perfect for me.I usually wear them with skinny jeans or leggings and don't feel as if I'm swimming in them.

IME they run TTS.

The Phillips are the tallest I can comfortably wear. They do hit just below the knee and can hit the back if I sit wrong, but are comfortable. I've tried on the Melissa and I don't remember them being quite as tall.
 
Hey all - im looking to buy online a pair of FRYE HARNESS MULES. I live in a small town, so these arent available for me to try on to get perfect sizing, so im going by the measurement of the insole from heel to toe. Wondering how they fit (true to size) and if getting them a little bigger is difficult, considering the backs of these? thanks!
 
Hello!
I love my Fryes! I enjoyed seeing all the other pairs and now I am drooling over a few I think I need to add to my closet.:graucho:

Currently, I own Vintage Campus' in black and dark brown, Short Harness in a sandy brown colorway, Melissa Button Knee highs in gray, and currently on my way to me is the Melissa Back Zip Knee highs in dark brown vintage brush off for a steal off of Amazon! :smile1:

My big question is, does anyone own any Dorado Low Boots? They are tall pull on's without straps. I am wondering how they fit? I am a 6.5/7 in most shoes and all of my Frye's are a 7, except maybe harness, I think those are 7.5 because of the toe box. I broke my foot 2x in a year so I have one foot that is still 6.5, but my bad foot I feel I need to be in a 7 so it doesn't get sore or pinchy. Advice? TIA!
 
I love to watch all the pictures of the beautiful Frye boots!

Here are my Billy Hammered Stud boots in chocolate. I've only worn them 3 times. They are really comfortable.

If by any chance you haven't gotten these already, I'd suggest you do go a half size up from your usual Frye size. These do have a tighter toe box than others. I'm usually a size 9 in Fryes, and I have Dorado Lows in both 9 and 9.5. The larger pair is definitely more comfortable (my feet are wide-ish by the toes). Be aware too, that the shaft of these boots are narrow, and would be tough to wear for those with larger calves.
