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?

Just an update for those who are curious, I ended up with a size 8 in the Harness 12R and they aren't even all that tight, it's possible I could have gone down to a 7.5 (though they would have probably been painful to break in). After trying on my tall Carmen Harness boots to compare, the conclusion is that the Carmen definitely runs small. There is no way I could have sized down from an 8.5 in those boots!

LOVE the style of the Maggies. The color is the only thing that would hold me back, personally, because I'd have no idea what to pair them with! The color is beautiful, though, and I'd definitely keep them if you have things to wear them with.

I think I'm going to switch them for stone or blush. I like the color too, but I'm not too sure how often they would get worn. They are much stiffer than any of my boots though which idk if I like.
 

Those are all awesome! I am loving those lace ups! I had a pair of lace ups waaaaay back when I was in high school. I wore them for years and years and ended up giving them away, I so wish I would have kept them! I know you're on the fence about the turquoise shoes....I like them! They are super cute and stylish. Oh I love Frye!

My mom had some black patent lace up's back in the day.. And I mean way back, she's in her 70's now. They were awesome. I remember my sister messing around with them some when I was in jr high. I have no idea where they have disappeared to now. I am so digging the Julia!
 
I'm relatively new to Frye boots & bags. I'm thinking of getting a Frye Elaine Vintage Satchel in Smoke color.

Does anyone know what their Smoke color looks like in real life? In the pictures, it seems to have some brown and some black.

I would be thrilled if it's actually more like a dark grey. I've been looking for a grey bag for a while, and it seems quite hard to find!

From my observations, Frye's greys and smoke colours tend to be like dark brown. LOL!

But I don't know if it applies to the bags. They probably use the same leathers?
 
I don't have anything smoke, but I have two gray and they are both really taupe..lol Now, my Carson charcoal really is a dark lovely charcoal, but my veronica slouch charcoal is some kind of ugly brownish gray color. In fact they are such an ugly color I got them on clearance for 60.00 brand new, even so 9 months later they are still in the box unworn.

These are my Billy boots in Navajo/smoke:

As you can tell from the picture, the smoke is more of a brownish. I find that their "slate" color is more of a gray.

Edit: Sorry for the massive picture!
 
Hi ladies, I'm currently eyeing a pair of Veronica short boots, can anyone tell me if this model is TTS? I've been searching this thread but I can only find posts about the slouchy version, is the sizing the same? I have one other pair (I posted not long ago ;)) and it's size EU 39,5 and they are slightly large but the smaller size was not available, my TTS is probably 39. Any advice?
