Yeah with the color I bet your grey ones are more delicate too. They sure are pretty though. Even after you've had them for a while. I am not worried about scratches/scuffs. I'd even go so far as to say I want some because I like that look. I just don't want color loss or big ugly blotches. I doubt that will happen. I wore them out today for the first time and a woman literally got out of her car as I walked by just to compliment my boots. I love love love them!

Frye's will season very nicely! I love the worn in look too! But yes, definitely no big splotches and things like that... From being caught in a downpour, I'd say it's unlikely big splotches will occur, unless you get oil on them!

Well all of your Carmen short photos "made" me break down and order the Grey Vintage Veg Tan from Zappos today! I am so excited, they should be here Tuesday! This will be my 3rd pair of Fryes. I have Campus 14L in banana and Harness 12R in smoke old town. I find I reach for my Fryes almost everyday and don't really want to wear any of the other shoes in my closet! :D Has anyone seen the veg tan in person? I am curious how they will feel.

Oh wow what an ordeal! Do you have a good cobbler in your area? I took my Jane 14L stitch boots to mine because I needed just a little more room and he was able to work miracles. It's funny what we do for these shoes. My husband said "why don't you just get a different pair if they are a little tight?" but he doesn't understand that I needed that exact pair!

I have the Jane Stitch also! Mine fit true to size for me but I think I would totally do the same and get them altered in your position! May as well be perfect, right?

Hehe! I had the Janes in Plum and had to send them back... The purple was way too dark to match my bag and I found them rather uncomfy as well... They were sooooo stiff and the calves were too big for my chicken legs!

Awww that is too bad that they didn't work out! I love my Janes so much!

My black ones are the vintage veg tan... They are a medium-stiffness. Not as stiff as Sand and Burnt Red, but not as soft as tumbled leather. My black ones have softened up very nicely (but I did wear them a lot while traveling).

I got new goodies today...I will post pics from my phone in a few. I got the Julia lace up in gray and I really like it, it's funky. That was a ebay find. I got the Maggie perf wingtip in turquoise- im not quite sure what I think of this one. I have never worn a wingtip shoe before, I might like it with some dresses. And the Carson Tab Tall came Friday I think Im sending the Camel back for sure torn on the Charcoal. I think im to the point I might be content with my boot collection for a bit..did I just say that :woot:
