You're welcome. Can't wait to hear what you get! I literally had to walk away from the screen to not order more boots. Glad you'll be able to use it!
Yup the Harness 12R were more loose-fitting than the Veronica Shorties but not loose enough for me to size down.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'm keeping either of them. The boot opening on both are too big for my skinny chicken legs. The Harness 12R look okay with leg warmers but I don't think I would get that much wear out of brown boots, guess I like black just that much better. The Veronica Shorties look similar to (but not as nice as) the Veronica Slouch on me.
I think the law of marginal returns is starting to kick in on my Frye boot addiction.
I am familliar with gravitypope website and getoutsideshoes that are in Canada and ship Frye within Canada, free shipping.
So frye pros: what are your best tips to breaking in the boots? The new harness boots came in and fit way better with the size down once they are on but still a little snug. Any tips?
(I'm sure they'll feel way more comfortable after my feet/legs stop swelling too... 6 weeks to go before baby #3 is born. )

I have the Frye Carmen Harness tall in black and Carmen harness short in Grey. I have coming to me via the awesome Amazon sale....Carmen harness short in dark brown and the Jackie button tall in dark brown. I was planning on sending the Carmen shorts in dark brown back as I have grey already. The Jackie is a dressier boot so I do want to keep those as I don't have that style yet. I want to keep the Carmen short dark browns but know I don't truly need them 
I keep thinking I "need" short brown boots because the short grey ones don't go with everything in my closet. I need a push one way or the other. Thank you anyone
edit~~~this is more of a "be reasonable" decision and not a financial one as it was a REALLY good sale haha.

Just plain wearing them. I had some Engineer 8R that killed my feet for a couple days. I had bruises on my instep from the strap even though it wasnt tight...just stiff. Day 5 or so...they fit my feet like a cozy pair of socks. They just molded.
Hi everyone, thinking of buying a pair of harness 12r from someone that says they were hardly used. The thing is I just got a pair in the same color. DH suggested dyeing them black which is what I would probably want. For those of you that have done this where have you sent them and how have they turned out? Would a cobbler be able to do this?
For the Harness 12r did you have to size down? I got my regular size 7 and they fit fine but they are a tad too loose. Just wondering if I should suck it up and return them and order a size 6 1/2/
Just got two pairs of harness12 and had to size down. I'm usually 7.5 in heels and 8's in flats and had to return to get smaller size. They are tight now but slowly breaking them in. For me I had a ton of room in the toe area so that was my reason for return. Could you order the 61/2 and if they are small return those?
Hi everyone! Pretty new to this purse blog thing but.... I've been stalking this thread all day and you ladies are so wonderful! I only have one pair of Fryes sadly. They are the Engineer 12R in black but I soooo love them! 
Had them for almost 4 years now. I have been eyeing the Melissa button in cognac or black BUT I have so many black pairs of boots but I am in need of tall ones and cognac is so pretty!

You can't go wrong with Cognac, it goes with everything!

Crazy thing is, I have several pair of Frye's and I always find myself reaching for my Frye Harness 12r Dark Brown Old Town's. LOL. The other's are kinda just sitting in the closet 90 percent of the time.
Greetings, Frye fans.
I'm new here and I'm hoping that one of you can help me. (And I'm hoping that this is the right place for this question... apologies to the mods if not.)
A while back, my wife admired the Jet Riding boots in the hunter-style two-tone -- black with the brown collar. I was reminded of that yesterday and thought I might pick up a pair for her for Xmas, but it looks like Frye has discontinued the style. (The Abigails are similar and lovely but she really wanted the two-tone.)
So to eBay I went. I found these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121029394235
But they don't look right to me. Seams look a little iffy and... isn't there supposed to be a button on the back of the collar? Should I be wondering if those are counterfeit?
I am no expert and could be completely off-base. Do they look legit to you?
Thank you!
