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

[insideout]

I was wondering if anyone here owns the Carmen Harness boots as well as the Harness 12R. I have a pair of the tall Carmen Harness in an 8.5 which fit like a glove. In general I tend to wear an 8 or an 8.5 depending on the shoe.

I'm looking to buy a pair of the Harness 12R, and I've been reading all of the zappos reviews. The general census seems to be to size down for the Harness 12R. So should I order an 8.5 or an 8? Is the sizing not consistent between styles of Frye boots?

Ive tried on the Harness 12R and they fit true to size. But the Melissa Button and Campus 14s also fit true to size for me- and I read that they run big for some people. I usually wear a 8.5 in Fryes. The veronica slouch I tried on in the store, I had to size up to a 9 to fit in to it. If you read the reviews on Zappos, you can get a good idea......

I only have tonnes of Carmens and one Taylor so I can't be of much help, BUT I have heard the Carmens run very slightly small.

Here are the Carmens today!

Loves it B!

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?

I think they'd definitely fit! I plan to pair them with dresses and skirts. I tried them with boot cut jeans but because they're much lighter than I'm used to seeing when I look down they feel odd. I need to take some photos and get them posted

I guess I'm not much help either, but I always size a half size down in my harness boots. I've done this in 12R and 15R styles. I don't have Carmens, but I want them! I guess reviews for these are all over the place.

Update: The Deborah phythons came, and I decided to send them back. Absolutely gorgeous but I don't think I'd get much wear out of them. The Jet boots, though, are definitely keepers. Pictures to come!

We want pics!! That's too bad about the pyton, but better you realize it now then have it sit for 6 months

Here's the reply I received from the CS of the shopping site, hope it helps those with similar question.

"two styles are very similar and have few differences. The shortie has more of a curved outward form at the top of the shaft whereas the short is more of a flat top at the end of the shaft. The item toe is a little more curved up in the short version of the boot and does have more slouch."

Hello. Which one did you get? My size is OOS but I'm thinking of getting the Short in black vintage tumbled full grain or the Shortie in black waxy tumbled.

Any recommendations, ladies?

So glad to join this thread. I currently have a Black Melissa Button (tall) and the Veronica slouch (tall) in brown.

I wanted the Veronica Short (for the slouchier fit) in Black but it was out of my size. Ended up using my coupon for an outfit instead.

Carson Heel Tab in black. Not sure I would like this but I think I will keep them. Excuse my thighs, not good at taking these modeling shots yall do.



Also, these do not run big like the reg Carson's do. The leather is super soft. I did have trouble getting them on, had to use the plastic bag trick

I wore them at home a lot when they were new and kept lifting my toes to scrunch them lol! And Singapore is humid so I think the leather gets softer there. Can't wait to bring my Burnt Red home and do the same to them. U can see they are much stiffer than my grey and black.

 

[piperbaby]

OK thanks. I just got some new ones in sand and the leather is stiffer than the gray. I think it maybe like the burnt red. I havethem in a room with the windows open since the moist air here should help them loosen up. THehn I will try to squish them. The sand color really is spot on for the sand on the beaches here
