Thank you! Oh I'm curious to try the tall Carmens! I suspect they won't work so well with my skinny legs, but I want to try them some day anyway!
I think tights and skirt are awesome! You can also do tights and dresses! Or skinny pants?
They look great on you!
I have a pair of these exact boots and I love them. I usually stick with the usual brown and black boots, but these are suprisingly versatile and give me a little pop of color that's not too over the top.
Enjoy!
Oh wonderful, I am glad to know they are surprisingly versatile. Thanks for the intel!
I love the color! I want these boots but they didn't have this color in the store. It's different but the red wine color is gorgeous & in this fall.
Hmm, 13 seems a bit small for average calf size on boots, though I guess that depends on the height you are looking at. Shorter boots have smaller calf circumferences since they hit at a smaller part of the leg. It seems to me, looking at boots that are around 14-16 inches in height, they seem to have an average circumference of maybe 15 inches, give or take? Some that go up higher, closer to the knee, seem to be around 15-16, at least the ones I was just eye balling!
My calves are about 15 inches at the widest part, maybe a hair under, and my calves are probably above average in size, but I'm still within range that most boots I try on seem to fit my calves. I have lost weight over the last year, so this was not always the case for me and boot shopping used to be much more frustrating!
maybe that's why I am now so boot crazy! 
I hope this helps, but I am sort of just going on my experience and what a lot of the boot measurements seem to list, particularly frye. I have also found though, that some times the measurements listed aren't totally accurate and it's sometimes best to just try on!
They are a bit baggier in the calf, my calves are about 15 inches and they fit over skinny jeans perfectly with a little room to spare to give a slightly slouchy look without drooping too much.
Hi All! 
Since I see the Question of Calf Sizing is coming up quite a bit.
I thought I would repost something I posted about a year ago about that subject.
Most of the times Zappos uses a 7 as the boot they take there measurements from.
This is very typical for Amazon and most others as well.
But as a rule of thumb on FRYE Boots the calf size increases 1/8" per 1/2 size.
Example of this is:
5B------14"
5.5B----14 1/8"
6B------14 1/4"
6.5B----14 3/8"
7B------14 1/2"
7.5B----14 5/8"
8B------14 3/4"
8.5B----14 7/8"
9B------15"
9.5B----15 1/8"
10B-----15 1/4"
11B-----15 1/2"
I Hope this helps you all out!

Thank you both for the input! I have chicken legs at 11 inches in the calves, so I think the tall Carmens will overwhelm me! But I will def try them on... Maybe from Zappos!

Thank you so much, Matt! The short Carmens are my absolute faves... I think I can live in them forever! Someone is getting me the red ones for Christmas...

I considered the Vera, until I realised the Carmens actually have a higher heel even though they look shorter! Carmens are 2.5 inches, and Vera is 2 inches! Also the Vera's are cut more generously than the Carmens. I'm the smallest size 5.5 in Carmens so I think Vera will be tricky for me. But I'm still curious to try them one day too, in the plain leather!
