FRYE BOOT MODELING & REFERENCE THREAD! POST YOUR PICTURES! *Please Read First Post*

[yyz]

Here are my new Frye Campus 14G's. I have more dressy tall riding style boots, but I needed a nice casual pair of boots to wear both under straight leg or boot cut jeans, and also to wear skinny jeans tucked into the boot. These are perfect...I LOVE them!

THOSE LK AWESME!​

Thank you!
Here is a full length shot my husband took as we were walking out the door to go to lunch. Love these boots, even on an old fat lady like me.

Geez, I hate having my picture taken! (I HATE my hair ...I'm trying to be patient while I'm growing it out from a short cut that I didn't like as much as I thought I would, and I'm getting over an eye injury to my left eye which is why I have a slightly black eye. I'm a wreck! So, just focus on the nice boots... LOL!) I should have held my new Kooba Jonnie bag in front of me to hide my hips...

Once Again Collie!!

YOU TOTALLY ROCK THOSE FRYE BOOTS!:urock:AND YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!​

There is a reason I have not done any full pictures of me in this thread...I have been fighting Diabetes for the last 3 years and was making tremendous gains on it and then lost my fight with my weight again....
UGH..
I was down to 250 from 340 and now Im back up 320 but I am loosing weight again!
The FRYE Boots That I Have Bought Have been Total Motivators for me to keep walking 1 mile every evening at the Mall and beating this...
Some Day I hope to be able to post some Wonderful Pictures like you all can!
But you all totally keep me motivated to keep walking and to keep trying!

Haha, okay, so I tried and failed at taking pictures of a couple pairs of my frye boots. I just don't have a good mirror to reflect in, and can't get a good angle or my hand far enough from my body to take a good shot, but here is what resulted. Not very good, but you will get the idea.

Here are my new frye Carmen woven short boos in camel. These will be good for spring and summer. They seem like they will be quite comfortable, though I have really only worn them for a few minutes so far and my bf doesn't yet know I have these!

Hi In2themystik2!
I Totally:lI Totally LVE Both of Those FRYE CARMEN's!
I can't say How much I think The Carmen Style is one of FRYE's best Style's Of Boots and I think EVERYONE Needs At least one Pair in Their Collection!
Now as for taking Pictures....
My secret is to use a tripod and the built in timers that all of the Camera's that we have these days have.
That is why you might see a small piece of paper on the floor in my pictures so I know where to stand while Im waiting for the camera.
BTW Most Best Buys and Walmarts carry tripods for a a very cheap price and from what I have seen most all of these new camera's still all have the mounting screw hole in them!
Hope this helps you all!

Hi everyone! FRYE new bee here. I bought these frye OTK campus boots in clay and they fit perfect. For sure they are exceptional quality with full grain leather. But when I wear it, I look down and can't ignore that they are quite chunky, so they have been sitting in my closet for a while. I really want them to work so bad but at the same time afraid that they will make me look even more bigger. Totally confused about weather to keep them or part with them. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I know what you mean; I am semi-retired from showing (don't have any prospects at the moment)

I'm out of the show ring for a few months since all of my dogs are blowing their coats. Of course it would happen that they are all getting naked right when I wanted to take my newest champion to shows in Washington next month. There are 3 judges that she had a good chance of winnning Breed under.

[B]Awww...Thank you so much! What a nice thing to say. It's hard to think of myself at 56 years old "rocking" anything, but it's nice to hear.

Oh, I'm so sorry. My grandmother was diabetic. She struggled the first few years until she figured out a routine and they got her insulin dose right. She was heavy for a long time, but once everything fell into place she lost the weight. She was 2 days shy of her 97th birthday when she passed away 2 years ago this May. Diabetes is a very difficult disease to live with, but I know they are making many new strides in treating it. Hopefully, someday they will find a cure. Until then HANG IN THERE! I like to walk at the mall too during winter months. I get Seasonal Affective Depression in the winter, and I HATE cold weather. Walking at the mall gets me into a warm place with lots of distractions to look at as I walk. Also, the people watching helps make the time go by quicker. Keep up the good work, and showing off those AWESOME Frye boots while you're at it.

Hi Gubbakka!

First Off You Look AWESME In those FRYE OTK Campus Boots!
I totally LVE the Clay Color in them!
As far as Chunky looking Boots Not at all!
Actually They lengthen the look of your leg and give a sliming look on you!
(BTW You are not big at all!)
I was thinking also you might want to try pairing them with a knee length jean Skirt
such as a Levi's 512 skirt in Hazy Dark or something similar.

With say a lighter colored top!
Just a thought!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

And BTW no more silly talk of you being a Thread Killer!
Or you leaving this Forum!
And Yes I think you found a Home here in this Thread!
And yes I will always wear my FRYE's Proudly everyday!
But Once Again!

THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT! ​

oh my!! they are beautiful..do they carry this wide calf I wonder? thanks.

Hi Anitalilac!

If my memory severs me right FRYE at one time did have the Campus in a Extended Calf but they are no longer made...
BUT....
They do make the FRYE Jane 14L Extended which is avery similar Boot!

So i was wondering if this might be an option that you might like?

 

[anitalilac]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the link...

 

[gubbakka]

Thanks everyone! hope I will get to like it more as I go. Thanks Matt, I will try these with skirt and light colored tops like you suggested for a different look. While they fit perfect on my calf, they are loose at my ankle and little roomy in the feet area too. I feel like I should have sized down in these for more sung fit. If you have regular calf and wide ankle and feet these are the boots for you. I have normal calf and small ankle and narrow feet so they bunch up at my ankle.May be wearing them with socks will solve the problems. Matt envy you you for having so many FRYE boots

Collie5 love your campus boots, they look great on you!

Awwww Sucks!
But what I would suggest is put a gel insole in them if they are a little loose!
That will take up a 1/2 size or more depending on the insole!
The reason I was thinking a lighter colored top was that way the boots dont totally stand out.
also if you wore them with lighter colored jeans is what I have found works best with my FRYE's I Have in That color!
But You Do Look Great in those pictures!
