Hey J - you're right, these are called smoke. And actually, now that i look at them more closely, they're brown -- not grey! Wow my eyes are bad!

I was hoping they would be soft like yours but when I opened the package I was surprised to see it in a different type of leather. Do you have a link to the kinds you own? Would love to see what those stock photos look like.

Carmens come in many different leathers! Mine are the tumbled full grain which is the softest. These come in two colours - dark brown and grey (which looks like taupe lol).

Your Smoke one is either same leather as my Burnt Red or Black. They are quite a bit stiffer, but I find it's possible to scrunch them if you put something heavy on them. I did that. :D

Okay I checked... yours is the Grey Vintage Veg Tanned, which is same as my Black ones!

Have a look here:

The Dark Brown Leather and Grey Leather are the soft leathers. The rest are tougher. You can see how some of them have a smoother surface, while those two have a "matte" surface.

Yes I like hers too, too! :D I just love all the Carmens and want all the colours! When is Frye going to release some new exciting colours for the current styles? Do they ever do that?

I am not feeling the new designs at all...

I just ordered the tall Carmens in dark brown. Let's see how they fit my chicken calves...

I just got these Deborah Shorties in Python. After reading the reviews of other Deborah Shorties on Zappos, I went a size down. I normally wear a 38-38.5 and 39 in some boots. Size 8-8.5 in US sizes. I got these in a size 7. I probably could've gone up to a 7.5.

They are extremely comfortable and just a tad snug on the right boot around the ball of the foot. This is is odd for me because my left foot is the one to have any sizing issues so I gather it has to be from variations in manufacturing. I do have a modeling shot, but the PF app isn't being friendly today.

Ok ugh confession time.. My Campus boots are not comfortable at all. Either pair, they squish the sides of my feet. Any suggestions for this? There is no shoe repair here in Hilo. It not cost effective to mail them to the mainland be stretched either. I dont have this issue with any other style. Boo:(

Mail order some wooden shoe stretcher things! I think I bought mine for $20! But those were for shoes. I think they come in boot style too...

Beautiful! I'm waiting for those exact boots to be delivered tomorrow. I'm normally an 8 and ordered 7.5. I hope they fit! Can't wait to see what they look like on you! What do you plan to wear with them?
