I loved reading this thread! I have a pair of the Jane stitch 14 boots in rosewood and have been absolutely obsessed with frye boots since then!

I was wondering if anyone knew where the Rider Spur inside zip boot was still sold?? I tried searching online for it, but couldn't find. It seems perfect for my tiny calves (under 13") as the Jane 14's are a little loose up there. TIA! :)

Hi Beggerbaby!:flowers:
As far the feel different in what way?
That is more what I'm concerned about!
if you would post some more pictures of the boots from comparing all the sides of them so I can see the color differences from different angles.
you don't have to be wearing them.
BTW can you return them?

The surface feels different. The less dark boot is more toothy textured and the patina-ed one is more smooth. I guess I wouldn't've minded the darkness if it was a smaller swatch. I'm just going to live with it I guess. I'll post other pics later and you can see what you think. I can't return them (not that I'd want to!).

Beriloffun - I got mine on Zappos but it doesn't seem like they're in stock anymore. :( Is that your normal shoe size or your Frye size? Dunno which Amazon goes by but I wear a 6.5 in sneakerish/closed shoes and I have the 5.5 from Zappos. Honestly though, I think I could've sized down another half size. They fit better in winter when I'm wearing thicker tights but in summer/spring, I need to wear long socks in order for them to fit snug. It can be a bit hard to get your foot through the ankle of the boot with socks on though, so maybe the smaller size would be too small...

Btw, the color is fawn.

I'm really wanting to order a pair of the Frye Carson Boots linked here http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/frye-carson-short-boot/3058755?origin=PredictiveSearch and I have several concerns I'd like to get some insight on.

I can't find anywhere to try them on first because I'm visiting my family in coastal GA and our store selection is pretty sad for shoes of this type.

How do boots like these look on petite people? I'm 5'1" with a 29.5" inseam and about a size 12 in jeans. I wish I could go try them on, but I'm 4+ hours from Atlanta and the nearest Nordstrom that I know of. My closest store that may have something close is Bass Pro Shop and I just don't care for that store too much.

With their price, I want them to be pretty versatile and work well in the Colorado weather for when I go back home at the end of this month for a few weeks. Mainly, I want a good quality boot that I can get my money's worth from and that I can wear through all seasons and will keep my feet warm since they're constantly cold. Oh, can't forget about comfort and walkability, too.

Advice? :peace:

Edited to say, I love these for when it's cold out, but I'm thinking they'll be too high on me. Also, not too fond of the buckle, but it does a lil bit to an otherwise plain boot. Anyone know?

Willsjamie -- nordies has a great return policy so I would just order and see if you like the boots -- the link you posted is a short boot and no buckle so not sure if its the right link

So I should take my own advice and order the the boots I have been wanting -- I love the Julia Riding 16s that were from last seaon in red (I think they call it Burgandy or Bourdeau) --- I missed these on sale at Zappos and now they are only available on the Frye web site at full price -- I'm concerned they will be too tall for me -- I have Carmen 14s that are perfect so I'm concerned the 16" will be too tall for me

Does anyone have the Julia Riding 16s? any comments?

I have been trying on a lot of different styles of boots lately. I am 5'6" so I am not petite but I have a long torso and relatively short legs. (I have to buy jeans in short if they are of the skinny style) I tried on riding boots because that is what I really wanted but I thought they did not look good at all with my short legs. I found the shorter boots and mid -calf stlye boots were much more flattering. (The "Veronica shortie" style looks good with my legs) I think the height of those boots you have picked out would look really good on someone of petite height.

Jayjay77, these are what I was referring to with the buckle: http://www.thefryecompany.com/womens-boots/view-all/77528/paige-loop-lug

I did try on some Ariat kids size 5 western boots at Bass Pro earlier and the length and fit was great! I can't believe I can wear a child's size. Might save me some money with those Fryes I want!

^I'm in love with both of those boots too! :)

Here's my Frye collection (so far):graucho:

Sorry for the poor pic quality - I need some better lighting and a better camera!:idea:

I am interested in buying a pair of the Billy Frye Cowboy boots. I normally wear a size 7 1/2 to size 8, with the size 8 being mostly in running shoes or shoes that run small, and the 7 1/2 being in more dressier shoes. I don't know which size I should buy.

How do the Billy Frye boots run? I have read some say they are tight in the toes, but am wondering if they are long enough in the right size to not be affected by this. My heel also seems to flop up and down in many of my shoes, so I wouldn't want the boots to long.

Since I have never owned any Frye boots I would appreciate any help I can get. I have some Franco Sarto riding boots that fit in size 7 1/2, but I think this are true to size.

I was so close to purchasing my first pair of Frye's today... My Nordstrom Rack had the Melissa Button Back Zip for $79+! unfortunately, they wouldn't zip all the way up comfortably... They were sooo tight on top! I've never had a problem with boots not fitting my calves, even over jeans, so I'm wondering if this was just a " bad" pair? Or do these boots just run skinny?

How easily does the boot stretch around the lower toe area? I have one pair that is a little snug on one foot, but not the other. I don't have shoe stretchers, so I will probably have to get a pair somewhere for the one boot...
