It arrives this evening! Quick question as I am suspecting it could be too big for me :nogood: My heels kept rubbing on the back of the boots when I walk and it is also quite roomy. Wondering if I should go down 1/2 a size. How does yours fit? Love the color though.

What socks are you wearing with them? Maybe thicker ones would work?

Mine fit exact to slightly tight (around the foot, there is space in front of toes). As you wear them, they will expand very slightly (width). The heel will definitely slip. It's the nature of this type of boot that is stiffer.

Oh, I was wearing them without socks lol. Well, the front part feels roomy (abt one index finger's width). It's the slipping in the heels that got me a little worried. I'll try it again tomorrow in the day to see if there's any diff. Btw, you mentioned yours fits exact to slightly tight, is it with or without socks? Sorry for so many questions, trying to get it right as returning and re-ordering a new size is gonna incur additional shipping fees. Thanks again :smile1:

Definitely wear with socks! You can't wear boots without socks! LOL

The slipping heel cannot be helped, I think that's how it is with boots like these. The structure of the boot is such that the sole does not bend much with your step. You kinda walk a certain way in them, almost like stomping around. They are definitely not feminine boots lol! They make you walk with an attitude.

Thanks, you've been great help. I'm keeping the size . Just noticed the right shaft is about 1" lower than left, bummer. Another wait for replacement before I get to wear them. Btw, you look good in yours (saw your post in Bal site :smile1:

Different shaft? Really?? Is it because they are scrunched differently?

You are most welcome! I hope you get your ideal pair soon! My black ones are coming. :graucho:

Here's another pair of my Carson lace ups! Worn with Missoni for Target tights and an Equipment dress.

Anyone have the Melissa Back-Zip? I've been looking for a tall black riding boot for years. Seems like this boot may be the "one". I'm on the petite side at 5'2" 118 lbs so its hard to find a tall boot that is not too overwhelming. I don't know if I'm ready to pull the trigger on a $350 boot. I own two other pair of fryes so I know it's worth it. I just need to convince my hubby that this will make a great bday gift.

I'm going to use Collonil! I use it on my Bal bags too! So far no problems! :smile1:

ps. I'm referring to the waterproofing spray! Have not tried the other products in the same line. I suspect cream-type applications tend to darken leather more than spray ones.

Hi dragonette, have you already tried Collonil on this leather? Am curious how it reacts.
