Frye- Melissa Button knee high boots

[Anonymous]

I just got a great deal on these ($200-- someone disabuse me of this if it's not a deal) and I got the "knee high" length. They feel sort of baggy, particularly in the front, close to the foot. Does knee high mean the same thing as extended calf? Are they bigger than the typical boots? Is this the look? It's not that "sleek" although the leather itself is shiny and black (and gorgeous).

Do you have small ankles?

Melissa is supposed to be a bit slouchy.
Knee high is knee length, extended calf has bigger circumference.

It is a great deal! Usually the melissas sell for 300+. Where did you find them for such a low price?

Now...I just bought them. Black was cheapest and was the color I wanted. Other colors were more.

I found a pair at Nordstrom Rack for $170.00. When I tried them on, I couldn't get my heel past the ankle part. Bummer!

Is this a common issue with Frye boots?

I had the same problem with Frye boots - could NOT get them over my foot! So bummed.

Yes, that is common with Frye boots or with almost any quality pair of cowboy/riding boots. It's just the way they are made. The leather will soften and mold to your foot but it is definitely a struggle at the beginning. You will need to break them in and it will take some time but Frye so worth the effort.
You should read customer reviews on Zappos, almost everyone has this issue at the beginning.

Thanks!

No such luck for me.... I want them in bordeaux which is still 347$.... Oh well, will hopefully wait for Black Friday.

I love mine!

You can sometimes find good deals on them at 6pm

I think they have to be a little loose at the ankle or else your foot wouldn't go in.

My foot would not go past the ankle part, which makes breaking them in impossible. I bought a pair of Born boots.

Lots of people have that issue with boots without a zipper. I have really narrow feet which often presents issues for me, but not with pull-on boots.
