Sorry I've been slacking! I just started my first year of medical school so I have yet to find the time, but I will try to get my boyfriend to take some pictures for me. Do you have any questions about the boots themselves that I can answer in the meantime, or are you just looking for the pictures?
Hi GMO!
You can Post whatever you want to about them!
The more the better!
It would be great if you could post so extra iformation Such as how they fit what you like or dislike and what ever else you would like to Share!
The way I always wanted this thread to go was for it to be a place where people could always go and find out what other who had bought those same FRYE Boots could go and look and see honest options about them!
And always ask more questions about any of them!
Hi! I just purchased a pair of the Jane Stitch online. Do you guys know if the boot shaft on the Jane is shorter or taller than the Melissa Button ones? I've found conflicting measurements online. Thank you!
Hi Indigo16
Well, I own the FRYE Jane Stitch but not the FRYE Melissa Button.
But the good news is that the same Girl, Amanda is doing the Modeling on the video for both of those FRYE Boots on the Zappos.com Website!
Here are the Links to Both Video's:

FRYE Melissa Button Boots:

Personally I think they look to be about the same height in the Shaft, and that is what the Zappos Site say about both.
I have found that Zappos does a pretty good job most of the time with their measurements.
I hope this helps you out!
Hi everyone, I'm looking to invest in a pair of Frye boots & got my eye on either the Engineer 8R or 12R. I just can't decide which one! I wish I had the time to go try 'em on in-person, but alas, I don't.
For reference, I'm 5'1". Which do you think would look better on a shortie like me? I also don't have the thinnest calves, so I don't want the boots to exasperate that.

Hi All,
Ok, so my Frye boots are a bit different than the ones posted so far. First off mine are a men's boot and from what I can tell they were made sometime between the 1940's to say the the 1960's (my best guess). They are marked a size 13 men's which would normally be huge on me, so they are either mismarked or time and age have shrunk the whole boot down so that they fit just like a men's size 11.
I would love to have any number of the new Frye boots you guys have posted, unfortunately Frye dosen't make a size 12W womens boot, not that I have ever found anyway
I do get quite a few compliments when I wear these which makes up for not having any of the cute ones offered now.

This is sort of oddly timed, but going back to Munchkinxx's question about my engineer 12Rs and veronica slouches...
I love the look of both! My issue with the engineer boots is how stiff they are. I love the slightly distressed look of mine (I attached a picture), but they're way too stiff to be that distressed looking. My solution? Lots of mink oil! I slathered them in mink oil a few different times and actually put a heavy box on top of them to keep them scrunched for a few nights. Voila! They scrunch down just how I wanted them to, and are much softer. Apologies for the lack of actual photographs of them, and of modeling, but I'll *really* try to get some posted ASAP.
And my Veronicas? I actually sent them away for a dye job. The ecru color wasn't doing it for me, so they're off to be dyed a cognac color. I had a different pair of Fryes dyed before (harness 12Rs in off white), so hopefully these come out just as wonderfully.

Unfortunately I don't have my actual Veronicas with me (see my post above^^) but from what I remember, they come up a couple inches below my knee.
