Hi all!

I've got a fairly strange situation happening and I wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience and see if there is any advice out there. I saw the Vera Hiker boots (for the very first time about 2 weeks ago) at my local Marshall's this year, unfortunately in every size but mine. I fell in love love love with these boots, so I decided to see if I would be able to buy them online. It seems like this whole line is discontinued? I don't mean the vera line, those still seem to be in circulation and easy enough to find, but I don't see any vera hikers. My Marshalls had black, brown, AND chocolate...I'm note sure what's going on. Could anyone verify that these are discontinued? If they are does anyone know a good site that might still have the dark brown ones available? I've been thinking about these shoes for a week straight now, and I'm going a bit bonkers. Any help is super appreciated! Thank you!!

No answer for the question above (sorry!) but I was just *SO* happy to see this thread that i had to reply!!! :nuts:

I literally LIVE in my Frye boots- I wear them 5-6 days out of a week, rotating 3 pairs. I've been wearing them for years and years, since my ex got me into them when I was 17 :smile1:

Not only they are most comfortable shoes ever- I can walk for hours and hours in them- they also last forever if you take minimum care of them. One of my pairs is over 10 years old, still look only a little worn...

Obv I have tons of pics in my harness 12R (Frye boots of my choice) but I will post this one for now :D

This was my beautiful third pair right after they arrived :D
Of course, what's great about Frye is that they only get *more* beautiful and *way* cooler as they get softer and pliable and used to your legs and body... :love:

Hello doll- I did a search for "Frye Vera hiker" and these came right up. Could they be what you are looking for?!

Hi Skimilk! I did see that, they don't have my size on Amazon unfortunately...I take a 7. the chocolate pair (my first choice) on there only has a 9.5 and the dark brown (which was honestly my last choice in colors) only has the 7 and the 8. I heard that this shoe runs quite small due to the fur. Since I am a 7, I wanted to go up to a 7.5 I did try the 8 in store and with work out socks my feet still felt too thin for the 8 (worried that extra room would end up giving me a twisted ankle when it ices over here). 7 and 7.5 were the two missing sizes

TJX had a ton of boots discounted. They had a tall brown boot with a wrap around the ankle and the frye plaque at the heel for $300. None in my size though!

Where besides there is the best place to get them discounted?

I have gotten practically all of my 2 dozen pairs of Frye boots from either ebay or amazon. I used to cringe at the thought of buying used footwear, but all the ones I have found on ebay have been in very good to excellant shape. Fryes are built to last. I go over them well with Chlorox wipes and occasionally Lysol the insides, and they are good to go. Amazon has some incredible prices on Fryes, but there is seemingly no rhyme or reason to how they do it.....certain sizes and colours are often radically discounted (as low as $120-$160 for an MSRP style going for $300+. What I do is get a hankering for a certain style, then go on amazon and see what colours they have it in my size. If nothing good comes up, I place the item in my wish list and check back often, and more times than not, it will be deeply discounted at some point in time. Just gotta play the waiting game. Recently somebody mentioned the Vera Hiker, and those are simply darling and indeed rare. Amazon has 1 pair in chocolate in my size but for $300, and as much as I want them, no way am I gonna pay that much. I know, in time, they will be mine and at a price that doesn't break the bank. Also, I have found luck on tradesy.com and etsy. Poshmark scares me, too many fakes there I hear.......Happy hunting---which is a big part of the Frye fun for me!

Calling all eyes! Hunt for Frye(d) Duck!
I just had these shoes pop-up when searching for a different papir of shoes, and I have fallen head over heels instantly. I do believe I have seen Frye Duck boots with shearling lining for men previous seasons, but not for women. These however clearly say they are for women. They are not currently available though, it says backorder when I click my size. And they do not ship outside the US. I have trawled most of the web tonight looking for these elsewhere or at least information on whether these are discontinued or just so brand spanking new there is no info out yet from Frye themselves. Does anyone in this thread have a clue? And have you seen these boots anywhere? They look like the perfect winter boots!

Hi Metall! I don't think anyone answered your question, but it's not unusual for Frye styles to be discontinued. Those are often the boots that you find in Marshalls/TMaxx/Nrodstrom Rack. The best way to see if it's discontinued is to check The Frye Company official store as they list all the current styles on the site.

You can keep an eye on places like 6pm and Amazon Warehouse Deals to see if discontinued styles show up as well.

I myself have been finding too many good deals on Frye boots lately. I'll probably end up selling a few on eBay after my upcoming move. On the plus side, I got to visit the Frye store in SoHo on Monday and was able to resist temptation because I already had a pair of boots on the way. :D

Lord and Taylor had buy 1 get 1 50% off. Got a pair of Melissa button boots. What do you guys use to weather proof them?

The reviews on Amazon of the Frye weatherproof spray say it ruined their boots and made them darker/went on splotchy.
