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

Not yet. I'm not sure if I will. The leather is distressed and scuffed enough that I won't be bothered by any water marks. I went out in them and had water on them from washing my hands and they dried within minutes of walking around in A/C. I doubt Collonil will change the leather in any way though.

I will probably spray them if the black ones don't arrive and I have to take the grey to Paris. Otherwise I may leave the grey ones as they are. Just hope I don't get caught in a monsoon storm LOL!

Do any shorter women (5'2 ballpark) have the Paige Tall Riding boot?

I love the cognac color, I'm afraid the shaft length might be too long for me

I am 5' 4" and just like the other poster, the top of the boot would hit my knee cap and it would really be really annoying like when I driving. Also, the extra flaps would kind of wing out and make my legs look stumpy. I had to sell my frye paiges on ebay. I am just going to state my honest opinion here regarding the Frye Paige boot if anyone wants to here it (lol). I honestly think this boot looks good on someone who is 5' 7" or taller who has thin legs. The extra flap just doesn't give the leg a streamlined look. Again this is my opinion, so your views might be different.

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:

My replacement order arrived today, what a speedy delivery! I'm so thrilled as the fit is definitely better (more snug but still confirtable) and the shaft isn't as gaping. Strange how 2 pieces if the same size can fit so differently but am definitely glad I made the exchange.

That's great! I'm so glad to hear that. Maybe the first pair was a defective pair. My black ones have arrived in Singapore last night and I think they will get to me by Monday. Excited!

I totally agree. I'm 5'5", and my husband told me they made my legs look short and stumpy. Then I looked in the mirror and had to agree with him.

Awesome! In time for your trip? Any diff in fit between this and tumbled leather?
Click to expand...

Yes, I'm going next Mon! Same size, but less cushioning in the in-sole I feel. But still comfy for me with medium socks! I'm so glad I got this... The leather will def withstand water better than the grey! And I might Collonil it before going!
