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:roflmfao:

I saw Sand just now at Macy's! Thankfully they didn't have my size or my luggage would burst. :D. Yes they are very stiff and feels just like Burnt Red. The colour is gorgeous!

Anyone have the Carson tab boots? The leather is so amazingly soft and supple. The shaft of the boot reminds me of a fine leather glove. I scored a new pair of the heel ones off ebay for a song and have just fallen in love with the leather. I have scoured around to find some on sale without the heel because I wont be wearing the heel nearly as much as I would the regular Carson style. I got a pair in Camel from Island Surf on sale and they have an extra 15% code Mahalo15. Not much left there though, but thought id post just in case. I was torn between tall and short. They are so supple I can slouch them so tall wins:)

I just ordered a pair of Carmen Harness (short) boots off of Zappos for $180! They are in dark brown waxed suede. Anyone have any experience with this kind of leather? Do I need to be careful not to get it wet like I have to with other suede items? I need to stay away from this thread. Your pictures are all so enabling!

Just got my Carmen Harness short boots. I love how quickly Zappos ships! I am in LOVE with these shoes. They are every bit as comfortable as the Danskos I wear for my 12hour shifts at work despite having a nice heel. I love how they have no "break in" time! The leather is supposed to be dark brown waxed suede but in some lights it almost looks like dark grey (which is fine by me). I'd love some advice on what to wear these with (Dragonette more pics please!) and how to protect suede.

I'm so happy for u Ann! Glad u love them! They look awesome on u! U are on the right track, I love wearing skirts and dresses with mine. Depending on your climate, shorts are great too. Skinny jeans or tights are great for colder times!

I can't remember which outfits I posted and which ones I didn't but I'll throw a few here for u! Apologies if they are repeats! :love:

Oh I have touched the waxed suede in Macy's and I think you could get away with not applying anything. It's not like the usual soft suede that gets stained easily. At least that's how it felt to me. I read somewhere that Frye says not to apply anything? I haven't protected any of mine. My grey tumbled ones got caught in rain and there was a slight water spot but it has disappeared over the past weeks.
