Hi All, This is my first post on here. I am obsessed with getting the back zip riding boot. From what I can gather by looking on line they seem really tall & a close fit up the leg which is what I want. Does anyone have any & could by any chance show me a pic of them being worn? Also I have a major problem in that I am in the UK & Frye won't ship there & I can't find a retailer of them here. Does anyone know of a European retailer? Thanks so much. I do already have a pair of Frye Harness Boots which I have had years & absolutely love.

Congrats on ordering! Can't wait to see pics, as I am not ready to give up on the Jane tall cuffs and I am also interesting in checking out the Jackie tall riding boot sometime because I love that little bit of heal on them, plus I'd like something in the lighter burnished tan color....
Ahhhh You Know you want the Janes!
But I did figure out finally what the Jackie Tall Riding were Based off of!
It Is a cross between the FRYE Sarah Inside Zip OTK Boots and the FRYE Paige Tall Riding!
Jackie:

Paige:

Sarah:

The Best Part is thou the Jackie's Have a inside Zipper wich will make them very easy to get on and off!
The heel is about the same as the Heel on my FRYE Sarah Inside Zip OTK Boots
As is the Zipper length.
And I can Say the Sarah's are one of my Favorites and I have worn them for over 20 hours and never had sore feet from them!
So Im thinking the Jackie's could very well use that same footbed of the Sarah and the Shaft of the Paige tall Riding.
So Over all I will be watching for these to go on sale as well!
Hi Lilackatz!
Which FRYE Back Zip Riding Boot are you exactly talking about and since there a several different Styles and I don't want to give any wrong information!
Hi Lilackatz!
Ok What I did find for you is That Amazon.UK does Sell FRYE Boots in England!
Now the bad news is that I did not see any Back Zip Riding Boots on there website....
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_st...ence_browse-bin:363840011,p_4:Frye&sort=price
But what I was wondering can you call them and ask them if they can Bring the style that you want in from the USA Amazon Site?
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=lp_6793...n=679380011&sort=price&ie=UTF8&qid=1338060591
I mean it is worth asking them if they can do that for you, or if they know away it could be done?
My experience with Amazon Has been Very Good and I do know they will go the extra mile to help you out!
But I would Give that a try!
Ok i also Just Found these!

Haha, yeah, I tried the Jane tall cuffs last month. They fit and seemed comfortable, but something didn't seem quite right on me. I think the height of the shaft hit me at mid knee cap and sort of cut my legs off. I love them though, so I might try them again if I found them on sale or gently used in e taupe or tan. I love them, I just don't know if they suite my body right!
I am very interesting in trying the Jackie because the heal looks similar to the Jane tall cuff, but maybe the height would be better. Although it lists the height as something like 17 inches, which is actually higher than the Jane if that's accurate. I am waiting to see a video of them on zappos. I had been looking at them on the frye site, but want to see a video. Might have to try them down the road.
I took my tall Carmen harness boots out for a test drive today and I think they are quite comfortable! I love them!

Ok I just checked and Zappos is listing the Jackie's as 17" the Paige Tall as 16"
And the Jane as 19.5"
Now I just measured my Size 11B's which should be taller than the Measurements Zappos gives since they usually use a size 7B for all of theirs
My paige's were 17" and My Jane's were 19" which I find very strange......
that a 7 could be taller than a 11?
But I do Know the Paige come up to just below my knee's and the Jane's cover them.
So yes Until some BRAVE SOUL goes and Buy's a a pair Jackie's!
I was Just Thinking out Loud.....
I so Glad you L
VE your Carmen's! 
They are some of my favorite style footbed!
I have to different styles of Carmen's
And Over the years I think they have been worn more than any other boots I own!
And Im Always looking to Add another Pair of Carmen's for example like the ones you just bought if I find a good deal on them!

I have noticed inconsistencies at times with boot measurements in general - like different measurements listed on different sites. It's really so hard to know until you try and I just wish there were a store around here that sold all of the frye boots for me to try!
I don't mind buying and returning, but it would be less hassle to just try on first! I have quite a few boots, but not nearly as many as you! I looked at many of your photos and you have quite a collection! Very nice!
I now have a pair of old gringo sora boots I splurged on in the spring, sorel crazy cable wedge, a couple pairs of Nine West boots, a Matisse pair of riding boots, Born healed boots, a harness boot replica from target a few years back, and now the frye Mimi scrunch in black, and the Carmen harness. Some other random boots too, but those are my top boots.
My taste has gotten more expensive over the last year... Lol. There is just something wonderful about quality made leather boots! The fake leather just doesn't seem the same once you have had quality. People joke about all of my boots, and now I am getting beyond the point of just practicality and having one that goes with different outfits and colors and such, but I just love them and build my outfits around them! I just wish I could wear skinny jeans to work every day and not just Fridays because I lose out on a lot of outfits!
I know... First world problems!
:giggles:I have gone off topic, but I am interested in eventually getting a pair of short Carmen harness boots, maybe one of the riding boots like the Jackie or something. So many options!

I,ve been looking at the links you sent me (thanks) was just wondering which of the riding boots come closest to the knee and fit the snuggest around the top? I have quite thin legs and don't like them gaping around the top.
Anyone bought the jet riding boots in plum? If so, please post pics on how you wear it and with what color jeans, dress, etc. TIA.
They're gorgeous. I don't own them, but there's a picture of them on a model at Neiman Marcus' site.
