I just recently picked up the harness 12r's and they seem comfy, as well. I have thin legs and I don't find they are large around my calf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1772077 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:32:49 +0000 Caly 1772077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: chicken legs....heh. Hmmm...perhaps I'll give them another go &amp; try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767765 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 13:01:38 +0000 blackbird 1767765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are big in the calf area, but I have "chicken legs" per my husband. They are loose on me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767642 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:58:57 +0000 Caly 1767642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question for those of you who have &amp; love Frye's...I tried on a pair a while back and they were HUGE on my calves. I like boots a bit more fitted (or at least not huge gaps) so I was bummed since otherwise I liked them. Anyone else have this issue or do you all wear them large in the calf area? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767550 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:27:08 +0000 hilsy85 1767550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my frye boots! I have a short pair (don't remember the name) and they are super comfy once they are broken in . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767501 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:13:37 +0000 lamariniere 1767501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two pairs, Jane Stitch in tan and Shirley short strappy something or other in black. They are SO worth the money and are super comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767281 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:37:24 +0000 MrsPastryLady 1767281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i LOVE my frye boots. I've had them for four years and can wear them all day. they are my absolute favorite and a travel essential. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767276 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:35:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 1767276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, turns out only a couple are on sale, so I may not buy them just yet, but I've got my eye on a few. Seems like the Melissa is a forever favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767264 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:31:19 +0000 Greentea 1767264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are comfortable but I need more arch support so I wear birkenstock inserts. Frye boots are all leather construction so they have a natural and comfortable supportive "feel," (/cushion) but personally I need a stiffer support system (hence the inserts).</p> <p>I also walk A LOT and have super high arches, so it depends on your feet and support needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767222 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:15:09 +0000 LulaBee 1767222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So comfy, so worth it. I have the Melissa Harness and wear practically every day in the fall/winter. I also have the Engineer 12R and Campus (but they are too small since having LO) and the Billy pull on (got these for my wedding but are too small now). I should sell all of my too small Fryes and get some new ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767195 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:04:59 +0000 looch 1767195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Melissa zip backs on my wishlist. I have never owned a pair of Frye boots, but I plan to stalk and see if I can get a pair at a decent price this winter. I hate to spend more than $100 on leather boots, I usually get mine at Piperlime or Zappos at the end of the season clearance if I am not being too picky on color, so it's a lot for me to consider splurging on shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767135 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:42:02 +0000 blackbird 1767135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are really freaking comfy. I now own 3 pairs of shoes/boots from Frye. The El Dorado goes with almost everything I own. I get tons of compliments on them. I also have the Carmen Harness, which are more of a winter boot, i'd say. i don't do the "country" look of dresses with this shorter boot. But i like them with skinny jeans tucked in or under regular jeans (not tucked in) for a clean look at work. I do think they go with dresses/skirts, but they aren't a look I pull off. For sandals, I also have the Reigna Belt Sandal, which I have worn a TON this summer and always get compliments on, too. And they are very very comfy. Since they're all real leather, they only take a couple of wearings to break in. I wear my El Dorados a ton in the fall/winter/spring and my ONLY gripe is that they are riding boots, so they have a very smooth/flat sole and therefore ZERO grip in the snow, so I don't wear them if it snows or I'll fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767126 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:40:49 +0000 Weagle 1767126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are SO SO SO comfortable!!! I have the Melissa boots. Bought them a few years ago, and they look great. I'll probably send them to a cobbler to be cleaned up before this winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frye-boots-1#post-1767107 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:33:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 1767107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, with the Nordstrom's Annual Sale, combined with 6% cash back from Ebates, and a leftover gift card from Christmas.... I may finally take the plunge and buy myself from Frye boots. </p> <p>Tell me, are they REALLY that much more comfortable than regular riding boots? I have some from Franco Sarto and Isola that I really like the look of, and they are comfortable but my feet get tired if I wear them for a lot of walking. They were fine for my commute (walking a max of 1.5-2 miles to trains and such) but now I walk everywhere with the stroller and end up in sneakers all the time. </p> <p>Which style to you find to be the most comfortable and versatile- go with skirts, dresses, jeans, leggings... I'm not asking too much, right? :) </p>
