FRYE BOOT MODELING & REFERENCE THREAD! POST YOUR PICTURES! *Please Read First Post*

This pic made me buy the Carmen Harness Short! I chose grey ones!

Still need a pair of black ones so am considering Vera Short but am worried because they run big. I can't size down since I'm size 5!

^^ The Carmens look great there!

Side note, I may have missed this in earlier posts, but does anyone own the Deena Harness tall? I recently got back on a super tall boot kick after being on an ankle boot kick, and I'm lusting after them! Not for $700, though. But I'm just wondering if anyone has pics of them wearing them, or any fit notes, or general comments.

I'm thinking about buying a pair of Frye Paige Tall riding boots in black (and likely a pair in brown, soon, too). I'm not sure what size to get. I've never been able to try them on in my size! I wear a 36.5 in most Loubies, the same in YSL Tribtoos 7 in Tory Burch Eddies, and 7 in most non-designer shoes. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what size I should order?

Whenever I am buying a pair that I'm unsure of fit, I check out Zappos.

http://www.zappos.com/frye-paige-tall-riding-dark-brown-calf-leather

For the Paige ridings, they have 62% of people saying true to size, with most people who didn't believe they were true to size saying they run a half size large. I don't own this particular style, so I can't be sure, but I'd say try a 6.5 or 7. If you buy from Zappos or Amazon, there's free shipping & returns so maybe try out both sizes.

Thanks! I may just order both. I've never ordered from Zappos, so I didn't realize they offered free shipping and free return shipping.

Zappos is the best. I would order your normal size but if they don't fit, Zappos will actually ship you a different size out for exchange before you even return the first ones you got without charging you for them. Then you have two weeks or something to ship back the first pair, free shipping of course. Their customer service is amazing

I just bought a pair of black Paige Tall riding boots last month. I'm usually a 9.5 in most flats/heels, and a 10 when it comes to running and workout shoes. I ordered a 9.5 in the boots and they fit perfectly so I would definitely say they run pretty true to size. Hope that helps!

I'm SO excited that I can finally post in this thread! I just got a pair of Frye Melissa Button Back Zip in Black Antique and I am sooo in love with them. They're the only shoes that are "allowed" to live outside of the closet and boutique case because they're too beautiful to be hidden

For reference: I have 12.5 inch calves and 9 inch ankles so they gape a little but it's nothing major. Plus I still have room for my fuzzy socks and layers

I have been lusting over the Melissa boots for so long. How are they??

Wonderful! The leather is stiff enough to stand up on its own (for now at least) but it's not uncomfortably so. My only complaint is minor; I wish that the leather didn't have variations, but I still love them!

I waited a really long time to take the plunge (4+ years due to forgetfulness, I'd want them every spring, when it didn't make sense to purchase fall/winter boots) and I'm so glad I finally bought them! These are undoubtedly my favorite boots

ETA: I will be back with pictures once my photographer aka brother gets home!

I was browsing the Marc Jacobs thread when I came across this lovely lady wearing a pair of Frye Jane 14 boots in Dark brown (Not sure of the color)

I love all your pics and info!! Thanks! I was curious about the color of these Jane boots too. I read every page and didn't notice a response. I am assuming it's brown. But are they Jane 14L or just Jane 14 or Jane 14 Stitch? I can't tell the difference.

I am also interested in either the Martina Engineer Tall boots in dark brown versus the Engineer 15R versus the Veronica Slouch. I like a boot that is a little stiff because I wear my jeans over the boot, BUT I would love to have a boot that looks great with skirts and leggings too. I figure that the Jane would meet the criteria. I am 5'3 and a size 10-12 so I have a 14 7/8" calf. What would you recommend? Anyone has experience with the Martina Engineer Tall boots? Or the Campus?

I am also a little unsure about the size I should get. I have Frye Dorian in an 8 that is too tight, but my Engineer 12R in a size 9 is a little big and my heel slips. So what would size do you recommend in the Jane, in the Martina Engineer Tall boots and in Veronica Slouch?

Thanks!

The ones in the picture look like the Jane 14L stitch to me, but I can't really tell the difference between the 14L and the 14L stitch aside from the colorways.

Here are all the Jane variations on Frye's site: http://www.thefryecompany.com/search?q=jane&searchButton=+

I took my true size in my Janes, Engineers, and Veronica slouch boots, so it sounds like maybe you should try an 8.5.

My neck is getting long waiting for my Carmens to arrive...

 

[dragonette]

They are here and I love them! I'm gonna need a pair in black...

They are so solid, yet so comfy! The leather is thick and scrumptious! The construction is just beautiful!























edit to add sizing reference: My feet are 22 cm. Calves are 11.5-11.8 inches circumference (left is smaller than the right). I even have problems getting boots in my feet size, much less to look decent on the calves. I had a long convo via email with a Frye CS (Mariel) and she helped me so much! She told me Carmens fit a little tighter (than the others, like Vera) so I went for them - and they are PERFECT. I took the smallest of course, 5.5. This probably means I am not going to try the Vera, which will be too big for me. But I am so happy with the Carmens anyway! I wear them with medium socks and they feel so awesome, I can't take them off. I've been wearing them since they arrived, and I'm at home. LOL! It is amazing that such a solid boot can feel so comfy!

Definitely going to get Carmens in black!

Those of you with sizing questions for any particular style, I highly recommend writing to Frye. They are very helpful and patient! Mariel gave me exact measurements for every style I asked about (Carmens, Vera, both long and short), advice on the different leathers (I wanted less stiff so they would slouch), soles (Carmen black comes in a brown and a black sole), and goodness knows what else I bugged her with! She answered every single question I had and made overseas buying so much less scary! Frye has gained a new loyal fan right here!
