frye carsons- are yours comfortable?

greenglove

I have noticed that my frye carson pullons are only comfy for a few hours. The sole is thin and the way it hits the ground eventually makes the ball of my foot hurt. This does not happen with other boots. A disappointment, I can only wear them a short period of time. I think they are a bit too long on me which may be part of the problem. I have tried cushioning and it has not made much of a difference. Thinking of selling them but then again, I can wear them for about 3 hours if I am not pounding the pavements. and they are beautiful. Does anyone else have this experience?

I have the same problem with my Carson shorties! I have ball of foot pain with a lot of otherwise comfy shoes though... my feet are narrow in the heel and very shallow in the instep so there is a ton of room in the back half of the shoe, which I think makes my feet slide around a lot.

I've not given up on mine yet though... a lot of times sticking a REAL arch support (by real, I mean a rigid orthopedic one) helps me with the ball of foot pain problem, probably because it prevents my foot from sliding as much. I've also just gotten some ball of foot gel cushion things that you stick to your feet rather than the shoe, so I'm hoping that might work too.

I gave away a pair of Frye Jane Tall Cuff because they never molded to my feet quite right. Too uncomfortable for all day wear. And a pair of Frye Fiona Stitch, the heel is taller for me (over 3 inches) and they also are not comfortable for more than a few hours, despite wearing them multiple times.

My new Frye Carmen Short Ankle boots from Angie's NAS picks, were super comfortable in half a day of break in time. And they have become my go to boot. I'm not sure why these have worked for me when other Frye's have not.
