Thank you very much for replying! :smile1: (I'm used to being mostly ignored and getting no replies, which is getting old and making me think I'm wasting my time and should leave. )
I appreciate the information. The 14G is basicly the same as the 14L but with a slightly lower heel and a rubber lug sole. Did your pair of 14L take a lot of time to break in? I've heard that sometimes they take awhile to break in and that wearing thicker socks helps make the break in time more comfortable.
I'll go ahead and order my regular size, and there should be enough extra room for my insert. I'm excited to get my first pair of Frye boots.

I've been ordering my regular size and they are just perfect. I also have weird, picky-fit feet issues and I cannot believe how comfortable these are! Frye has got me out of my Naot clogs that I've been in for 8 years! Like Matt said, they will multiply like rabbits--I got the Carson Lug boot and have since stalked deals like crazy and bought the Frye Cavalry in Sand, the Frye Harness 12R in Dark Brown and the Frye Chuka; which is a moccasin. I have had zero break-in period; they were comfortable right out of the box. Frye handbags are nice too! I bought one on ebay and I love it. Yeah, very addicted to Frye here....

I'm getting even more excited for them to come now! I really liked the Cavalry style also. It was between that one and the Campus, but I really liked the rubber lug sole on the Campus 14G. Thanks for the information! :smile1:

Does anyone else with high arches have trouble with slipping on many of the boot styles? I have to use a long shoehorn to wedge my feet into the boots with some difficulty. Then the boots fit well when on. If I got a bigger size I would be wearing winter-thick socks all the time to make them fit. I took them to a shoemaker to stretch but it didn';t do much good. It's a real pain!

This is with my Veronicas and the Engineer. It even happened with the Logger which has laces, so I sent them back. Didn't want another pair to have to fight my way into. This is even with thin trouser socks. I wear a 10 and took a 10 in the V and 9.5 in the Engineer. It doesn't happen with the Cavalry or Campus. Just venting, but curious as to others' experiences.

Hi Chessmont!:flowers:
From what you have said I was wondering if you were to get pair of FRYE's With a side Zipper if that would help?
Unless you only want boots that are a pull on?
But I think you may find them a lot easier to get on! :ghi5:

I LOVE my Rag & Bone Pearce boots! They have a small stretchy panel running down the back that helps with getting them on and off, but they are difficult! I read in a review (maybe on Saks?) that someone considered getting a cobbler to replace that with a zipper - that might help, and might be worth it if you can get them for a great sale price (I got them for $270 directly from Rag & Bone's site). My calves are around 15" at their widest. The other thing is that the strap in the back at the top may be a bit tight, as well, around the area at the back of your knee. It can be loosened, and I can comfortably wear it on the middle hole (there are 3, and could probably fit another hole if you got a cobbler to punch one). I am normally a US 8, and I bought the 38. They fit my foot but are a bit snug. I think the 38.5 would have been a touch too big, though, and I think the 38 will stretch to fit perfectly.

Let me know if you have more questions about them! When my boyfriend get home tomorrow I'll have him take some pics for me & I'll add them here.

I read that review also about the zipper!
And Yes Please Do So! :tup:

After All I was the First who broke my own Rules about Posting in this Thread!
Really what I wanted was a thread with a lot of great advice on Boots that All of us can afford that give honest Opinions on how they fit and feel after we wear them all day.
Now Im not saying that CL's and Jimmy Choo's and Valentino's and Gucci are not comfy to wear all day but I do Know I would rather where my FRYE's out Shopping all day as opposed to the pairs of Gucci or Sergio Rossi I have. Not that i dont LOVE Them Too!
But I would Like to keep it in this thread to at least Boots that are similar to FRYE's in Style!
Well or if you are so excited about what you have found!
And Boy do I have some I cant wait to share with you all!
My big Problem is I need to go buy a New Camera!:faint:
