Here is a pic next to my Campus 14L that were banana, and I had them dyed dark brown a couple months ago. Notice how much taller the red boots are?? Its like 2-3 inches difference!

Hi every one :wave:

I am a Frye virgin & looking to buy my first pair a.s.a.p! I just have a couple of questions if anyone would be so kind as to help me out?

I am leaning towards the paige riding or the melissa button, however I am only 5'3" and wondering if the paige would be too tall for me? I would like it to hit below my knee.. Are there different heights in the paige style? Like I said, I am a total newbie!

Secondly, I really like the Cognac color but don't want anything too "red", I have looked at TONS of pictures & find that the color of cognac varies in all of them. So, for anyone who has this color, is it more red or more brown? Or a good mixture of both? I will be ordering online/sight unseen so any description of the Cognac color would be a great help!

I am 5ft tall and own the Melissa button boots. They hit below the knee and the way that they are cut (with a v in the front so the top isn't perfectly straight) helps to make them not seem too tall on petite legs. The cognac color is gorgeous and to me looks exactly as pictured here http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/frye-me...-5-HP-RR-People also viewed:&BaseUrl=HomePage a perfect blend of red and brown. To me they are not "too red.".

I can't speak for the Paige boots but I also own the Jane 14L boots and haven't found those to be too tall either. Good luck with your search!

Does anyone know if there is any marked difference between the Veronica Shortie vs Veronica Short? I have a coupon to use at a site but they do not have the Shortie in my size. The Short is available though but is more pricey, at $30 more. Apart from the shaft height in the product description (8.5" vs 8"), I couldn't spot any difference visually. I'm a web shopper and do not have the opportunity to try or compare the boots irl, hence would appreciate any help there is here, thanks!

I'm somewhat of a Frye newbie and recently bought a pair of Jane tall Strappy boots on ebay. Does anyone else have these and would you be able to help me verify authenticity? They look like the other Fryes that I've had but the lining isn't a smooth leather lining...it feels like the back side to a piece of leather-unfinished is the best way to describe it. There also isn't a Frye label sewn onto the inside of the boot where the Made In Mexico and size stamps are. My other pairs have had it but I wasn't sure if all do?

Everything else looks right other than the sole which is plain (doesn't have the Frye "stamp" like the picture on Zappos?. They are brand new but could have been resoled? Any help would be great as I'll be returning them and rebuying from Zappos if they aren't authentic.

Ok - here is my $9 Frye boot score from the Goodwill!! They are a bit darker as I used a conditioner on them. They have really softened up. they are creased where the ankles are, so looks like someone had them flopped over in their closet for a few years.... cant wait to wear them!

Congrats on the score!! They look awesome!
