Hi there, just wondering if anyone is familiar with the Frye Miranda Stud Bootie and sizing. I have the Frye Tall Villager Lace Boot in size 10 and they fit ok - normally 10's are a tiny bit small on me. Just wondering how I might go in the size 10s in the Miranda as I will be ordering online to Oz. I fear the 11s may just be way too big/wide. Many thanks in advance for any comments. I apologise if this question is out of place here. Regards, Suzy:smile1:

I don't have those boots, but I do have the Miranda Chelsea. I'd think they would fit similarly. I found them to be TTS, unlike some of my other Fryes. It sounds like even if the Mirandas are snug, 11 would be too big.
 
For anyone struggling on what size to order, I relate. I had the same problem. First I did an online tutorial on how to find one's correct shoe size. I came up a size 9 and that is what I ordered in Frye and that is what fit correctly in Carson Lug, Harness, and Cavalary. http://shoes.about.com/od/fitcomfort/ss/measurefeet.htm

It really can be confusing. I know I really hesitate ordering clothing and shoes online due to the fact that sizes are all over the place between brands. If you're not familiar with how certain brands run, you end up sending things back, which I hate. I'm happy I tried on a pair of Fryes before ordering due to the fact that some people say theirs were true to size, and others said order down or up. In my case, I usually wear a 9.5 but the 9 fit perfectly in the Frye even with my orthotic insert.
I really wish there was some kind of standardized sizing for all companies to follow.

I agree Collie! I like Amazon and Zappos for more $$$ purchases like Frye; they have such easy-peasy returns. There were no Frye's in my area to try on so I had to wing it. I have fussy, hard to size feet. One is nearly half a size larger than the other so I always have to size that one or I'm miserable. I know I'm a 9.5 in Nike Pegasus runners, a 40 in Naot, but I have American Eagle boots from 10 years ago that are an 8.5 and they fit fine. But according to that size chart, I'm a 9! Oh, you know what else I did Collie? When I received my first pair, I found two video tutorials on youtube on boot fit. One is by Justin Boots, it is very good and the other is by Lucchesse Boots. These confirmed to me that my fit was correct. I had ordered an 8.5 also to try; no heel slip, wrong fit. You know what is really weird? They didn't even look right. The shaft was just a TAD lower than the 9 but it made a difference on how they looked on me! It confirmed to me that proper fit is not only important to comfort but aesthetics too.
 
Woo! This thread has been moving too fast for me to keep up the last few days! Lots of frye action going on!

Very nice! Love the outfit! I peeked at your blog and you have all kinds of cool stuff! I would love to get a balenciaga jacket like that in camel or grey or something, but that's just a pipe dream! Way out of my social worker budget unfortunately. :faint: You must be loaded! :roflmfao: I think I chose the wrong profession to support my shopping wants! :thinkin::shrugs:

If you save a little at a time, skip buying some smaller items, slowly but surely, you will be able to get a Bal moto too! :smile1: ps. Get one from ******, so you don't pay retail! And look out for promotional discounts... She sometimes has 10% + addition $250 off jackets. :graucho:

And thank you for visiting my blog! :heart:
 
Ladies, I need your advice. I just bought a pair of Campus Lug Lace boots in Banana, and they arrived today. I am seriously in LOVE. The leather is so buttery and they feel so gorgeous on!

My problem is this: I have wide feet and huge calves, and so I bought in my usual size for boots (a size 10). The boots fit BEAUTIFULLY, except for one thing - the foot bed is far too long for me! I've got something like an entire extra inch of room in the toe box. If Amazon had a pair available in a 9.5, I would simply return the boots and try the 9.5 out, but they only have up to size 8 now.

Do I live with the extra long toe box and feel a bit clown shoe-ish when I wear these loveiles, or do I return the size 10s and order a 9.5 off of the Frye website? It's the only place I can seem to find the boots in a 9.5 in the Banana color (which is a MUST, I cannot get over this shade!).

Help! I need your learned advice!
 
I've put together an outfit to go with them today, and I think I'm set on keeping them. I just can't say no to boots as lovely as these! Pardon the messy room, my husband and I have recently moved and we're still getting the new place in order.

As far as fit goes: I'm wearing thicker socks today than when I tried them on, so the foot feels a bit tight - hopefully that will ease a bit as the leather warms up. If it doesn't, I'll loosen the laces in about half an hour. You can see evidence of my large calves at the top of the boot, but I still think they look fabulous!
