They're $225. They have most sizes left, but are they too trendy/last year?

i dont think so. I didn't really see many people wearing similar last year.

I have them though and found them very difficult to plan outfits around.

I have them and still plan on wearing them. They were seriously comfortable and I wore them a ton.

i have them in the off white color, and have seriously debated getting saddle/brown just b/c i know they would be more versatile. i love mine, though i will say i've never worn them as they're pictured. i always pull the cuff up when i wear them so they're like slouchy knee-high boots.

ok how do they run, especially in the calves? i *think* my gigantor calves would fit, but am curious to hear IRL experiences.


i have a 7 in my campus boots, but usually wear either a 7.5 or 8 depending on the brand. i could never try these on IRL because they were always out of my size at the B&Ms. They have size 7, 7.5 and 8.5.

God, those are gorgeous!  For some reason, I thought they were WAY more expensive than $225 or maybe I'm thinking of a similar, but different pair. 


Anyway, GET THEM!  I think they're going to have to go on my fall wish list now. 


ETA:  Okay, where are you seeing them for $225?  On the Frye website and on Amazon, they're in the $450 range.

I love them! I've wanted a pair since last fall but am not paying $400 (or thereabouts) for them...where are you finding these? I'd snap them up in my size - and in chocolate - for $225. Please share...

~sobs~ nothing larger than a size 9. So unless I cut off my toes...darn! Thanks anyway, Lilykind. I hope you get them and I'll just have to live vicariously.

Aw man, now I think they are cute too, but I've never wanted boots before this. Darn it... btw, they are on zappos & you can PM so free shipping (not sure if shopbop has that). Now to ponder how much use I would get from these.

I like them, they aren't very Western-y.  I just don't think Western style boots with the stitching are going to be very fashionable this year.  It's very Jessica Simpson Dukes of Hazzard phase which was overdone.
