Thank you!!!



I purchased my first pair (the dark brown melissa's) only about 6 months ago, and the rest is history!! I am addicted & actually just got my mom to buy her first pair! :graucho:



The dark brown melissa's are very tough to get off, though the sizing fits fine (and true to size) I think it's just because the leather is so stiff on the shaft it's hard to maneuver my foot out of them..



The black melissa's are more slouchy & have more give, they are much more comfortable & have been getting a lot of wear lately!



The harness 12r's are my favorite, they go with everything.. but they're so heavy!



And the carmen harness short I have only worn a couple times, I'm not sure it's true love like with the others.



I'll definitely post some mod shots soon :yes:

I am still deciding on my Carmen harness. What is it that you don't love about them? Thanks.

I don't dislike them, but they are very loose around my calf.. which actually was what drew me to them in the first place, but I almost think it looks silly on me. I still love the way they look, just not sure if I love the way they look on me! Still undecided.

Your Quite Welcome! :smile1:
The one thing I have learned over the years of wearing FRYE's is They can very greatly in the leather types even in the styles due to the Tanning process.
Also if you have a high arch you might have more problems getting the lower heeled Boots on and off till they break in.
How Long does that take….
Well FRYE's have been know to last a life time as some of mine that I have had are getting close to 5 to 8 years old and still in Fantastic condition!
But If you wear them regularly a good season will break them in.
If every day then it will take much less time depending how much walking you do in them.
I personally dont have any Melissa button Yet…. :graucho:
But My Carson's are very similar to them and once they got broke in were fantastic to wear daily.
I Personally LOVE the Carmen Footbed as the heel hight and shape works very well with my arches…
Super Comfy for me!
LOL!;) Im so glad you introduced your Mom Also to FRYE's :graucho:
If you do have higher arches you might try some of the FRYE's with Side or Back Zippers as this will make them a lot easier to get on and off!
Looking forward to your Modeling Shots!:tup:
And Thank You for you Great FeedBack!:ghi5:

If anyone has both the Melissa Button and the Carmen Harness Short, can you tell me whether you use the same size in both styles of the boots? I sized down 1/2 size in the Melissa, and the fit is great (after break-in) and I am trying to figure out whether I should also size down in the Carmen as well. The reviews on sizing that I have read seem to be mixed.

Can't wait to see your peektures! I think I am almost Carmen content now. I have basically all the colours I want, except for the elusive Amethyst! The only ones I will consider trying in the future are the lace-up Campus Lugs, although I'm not sure, my calves may be too small... I want a pair of vintage Villagers, but I want them in good condition and only the battered ones seem to come up on ebay hehe.

I now have the short Carmens in black, burnt red, grey (taupe), tan, beige suede with braided harness, and tall Carmens in black, grey (taupe), light tan, brown.
