I was also eyeing the Veronica Slouch but along the way, was distracted by the back-zip and the Shortie. I do not have the luxury to try them prior to buying as there isn't any Frye boutiques in my country. I finally pulled the trigger on the Shortie and am now eagerly awaiting for it to arrive. All the best in getting the shoe of your choice :smile1:

Thanks!! I love the shortie style but already have something similar else I would be looking at that too! Good choice.

Thanks! Ill give them a call. Did you post the last pair of Fryes you had dyed from them yet?

I didn't - they're a vintage pair that were in seriously beat up condition. I had them condition the leather & restore the color, replace the soles and heels, and adjust the ankle strap for me. I should have taken before and after pictures to show what a great job they did. I'll try to get pictures of them up the next time I wear them.

The Mimi scrunch boots arrived today and they look pretty good. They are moderately comfortable for 4 inch heals, but I have only worn them in the house for a couple minutes so far. I am still thinking about them and will try them on again tomorrow with some other outfit options. It's so nerve wracking with such expensive boots because you want to love them to keep them, and sometimes I have to try on a few times first. My boyfriend said he liked them.

However, I also somewhat impulsively just bought these on eBay - frye tall Carmen harness grey

Wanting them was not them impulse, but buying them right now was... Lol. They were the color I want, in the size I want though, and they are used, but like 200 less than full price. Hopefully I will love them - they are totally my style! My boyfriend will think I went crazy - good thing he doesn't know the cost, lol.

Doe anyone here get sole guards put on your leather bottom boots to protect them or preserve their life?

Eta, not sure if link is working, sorry if not!

link not working...... Whenever i buy new shoes, esp for that much money, I do the exact same thing. Ive made bad choices in the past that have hurt in the pocketbook.

I bet those Carmen Harness boots are awesome! Post a pic! Those, I wouldnt regret, bc they are used, you got a deal that you wont see again, and they are exactly what you want!

I bit the bullet and snagged these Frye for Coach ocelot engineer boots. So glad I did, they're sold out in my size now! Modeling pics to come, as I'll probably be wearing these beauties tomorrow.

Here, let me try the link again:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/230884160454?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Okay, I think it worked that time! Anyway, those are the boots I got. If they fit and I like them once they arrive, then I may consider having a sole guard put on or any other tweaking they might need. The sole and heals look rather worn, so hopefully they can be fixed up if necessary!

I am excited to get them and I hope they fit and are comfy! :D I have seen the Carmen harness short version at Macy's and they were awesome and so well made! I think the ones I saw were the same color also and I really liked it, so we shall see! They should arrive Saturday. :happydance:

I bought the short version of Carmen Harness and am totally loving the make and color. The grey tumbled is so versatile & wearable I think you'll also love it. I will line the sole (especially leather made ones) at the cobbler for extra protection & to prolong their life. So far they are holding up very very well.

Just received the Frye Veronica back zip boots today. Comfy but unsure of the color. Thoughts? Wondering also about the Melissa back zip?

Oh, I LOVE those! The color and style is awesome! Frye does brown soooo wonderful! Frye is the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I'm stalking my next pair already, lol. Those look fantastic on you!

Frye newbie here but I'm hooked. :love: Recently got a pair of Veronica slouch in black but I am wanting a taller pair in brown as well. I don't really love a lot of slouch with something over the knee. Does anyone know if the Jane Tall Cuff slouch a lot or are they pretty stiff (for lack of a better word?). I am trying to decide between the dark brown and tan burnished?

Hello! I'm new to frye too, though certainly not new to boots! Haha. I tried on the Jane tall cuff recently and I love the boot, but returned it for the time being because something didn't quite click right. I think it was where they hit me at the knee that made my legs maybe look bigger? Not totally sure, but for the money, I returned them for the time being, though would like to try again sometime in taupe if I could fine them used for a reduced price. I am 5'6" and a size 12 currently with a somewhat pear shaped body, for reference.

As for slouchiness, they didn't seem like they would have slouched too much on me, but I think they were just about the right calf size that they were tight enough not to slouch much, but not too tight. I think my calves are about 15 inches at the widest part. If your calves are small, they may gradually slouch a bit more, but the leather was stiff enough that I don't think they would slouch right away.

I hope that helps! :smile1: unfortunately I don't have any photos.
