They were pretty comfy for th emoderate amount of walking I did in them yesterday, especially after I sat in the restaurant with them on a while. My insoles usually cause a fit problem in one area of one foot, but I expect this leather to eventually accommodate that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift/page/2#post-2020346 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 14:23:56 +0000 Sara L. 2020346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love them with the jeans and dress!&nbsp; Enjoy your splurge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift/page/2#post-2020225 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 23:08:38 +0000 bj1111 2020225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>congrats all around.&nbsp; so great when a plan comes together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift/page/2#post-2020222 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 22:44:43 +0000 kellygirl 2020222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!

I think I will use them in different situations.</p> <p>ETA - Sizing. I sized up half a size and my larger Superfeet insoles fit into them. Wahoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift/page/2#post-2020201 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 21:11:46 +0000 smittie 2020201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aicewonderland: upthread I had mentioned that the Frye’s might make your feet look big. It was more the cowboy style of this particular pair rather than Frye’s in general. (Pointy shoes elongate the foot.)</p> <p>Christina: your feet do look dainty in them. They look great. I hope you enjoy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift/page/2#post-2020191 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 20:02:22 +0000 Angie 2020191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Sounds like fun times. Be careful with Frye’s. If you are like me you will end up with 5 pairs. They are all necessary and fulfill different functions. I find they run TTS<br /> or slightly larger, and do take a while to break in. The are not dainty shoes, but I think they somehow make my feet and legs looks smaller.<br /> Your Frye’s will beautiful with your dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift/page/2#post-2020154 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 17:42:25 +0000 Christina F. 2020154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going to wear the shooties out tonight to celebrate my husband with this dress - maybe over jeans? It looks great as a tunic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift/page/2#post-2020111 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:35:06 +0000 Christina F. 2020111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Firecracker, Sarah, rachylou, and shevia!

Sounds like a choice well made. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019927 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 21:51:08 +0000 Christina F. 2019927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara - it’s a beautiful shoe. If I could justify both, I would. I think the Naturalizer boots will be for sock weather and the shooties for no sock or liner sock weather. It’s okay if they split wears a bit because the city is rough on shoes. Both will stay nicer that way. </p> <p>FashIntern - probably you are right. I will still have to evaluate the cream ones with those things. Maybe someday I can have both!</p> <p>Sarah I’m trying to make an investment but in something I’d usually take myself out if needing. Something a bit frivolous. If that makes sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019926 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 21:49:30 +0000 nemosmom 2019926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Team Billy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019924 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 21:36:22 +0000 Christina F. 2019924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was able to try on the cream ones in person. Heart eyes! I didn’t buy them because they are full price at the store, but I was able to determine that I want to size up for my insoles. Pulled the trigger from Zappos. </p> <p> Less practical I guess, but the heart wants what it wants. And one practical point is that these will be easier to carry around if I don’t want to commute in them just yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019907 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:51:20 +0000 SarahD8 2019907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn right along with you! I think the metallic ones are a better practical choice (since you don't have anything like them) but clearly the cream ones are making your heart sing.</p> <p>Are you making an investment or having a celebration?</p> <p>(And congrats to you both!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019899 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:19:19 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2019899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say metallic for those dresses, especially the green one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019897 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:18:07 +0000 Sara L. 2019897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun!&nbsp; I like the metallic boots better than the shooties.&nbsp; More because you already have a similar pair and it seems like you might be splitting wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019894 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:16:06 +0000 Christina F. 2019894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>firecracker, you're a genius. Since it's spring, I am feeling the cream ones. If I daydream, those are the ones I daydream about, even if the metallic ones are more versatile. This IS supposed to be a somewhat frivolous purchase, though. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019893 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:05:44 +0000 Christina F. 2019893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Janet - Thank you for the size input. The metallic ones are more versatile and fill more a hole. The cream ones are making my heart sing more right at the moment, but I'd probably feel the same about the metallic ones if it were Fall. I am torn!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>JAileen - thank you! Insoles make any shoes that don't have a lot of natural shock absorption comfortable for me right now, so I'd like to be able to fit at least a slim pair in. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Angie - not surprised! They are speaking to me, but see what I said above.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jane, suntiger - thank you!</div><div><br /></div><div>FashIntern - no big house here, just a small apartment. We hope to buy a less small apartment,&nbsp; but not till next year. We are back on track for it again, so phew. My shoes need room to breathe! As do my husband's board games. My fear on ordering several is that I might keep&nbsp; more than one. I am weak like that. I also need to save some money to invest in sandals, a a more pressing shoe need since all my back and hip trouble started,<br /></div><div><br /></div><div> It's true I'd be able to judge better. There is a Frye store near me so I'm hoping to try on the same styles before I order. I am not sure they will have the colors I want on hand (or the same prices as Amazon or Zappos), based on my forays into there in the past. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Nemosmom - I have these bone colored booties. No metallic booties at all! Whether I would split wears is a factor, but I mind that less for white/light shoes since it would help keep them nice. I am also kind of eyeing pairs of Oxfords, and I think the cream shooties would scratch that same itch, though they are pointier.</div><div><br /></div><div>Amazon has the Billy shooties in the same color as the Rays, but I like the metallic for the Ray and the cream for the Billy. Go figure.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019891 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:01:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2019891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Congratulations on all the good news! Both booties and shooties are gorgeous. Which ones do you want to wear right away? Like to a little celebration dinner, maybe? Perhaps answering could help you decide.</div><div>I have one pair of Frye booties, and while I tend to wear a 7 or 7 1/2, I took the 7 in the Frye boots. They were roomy enough to add my SuperFeet 3/4 insole.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019888 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 18:55:00 +0000 nemosmom 2019888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me again :D</p> <p>Do you have other cream shoes? I think you have other metallic booties, no? If so, would you be splitting wears with them if you get the metallic Frye? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019885 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 18:49:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2019885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations to both of you! And didn’t you recently buy a house? Big exciting times all around!<br /> Fryes are drool-worthy, I agree. Have you tried any on? It would be awful not to able to use your big reward. If you order several, you can try some outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019870 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 17:47:04 +0000 Anonymous 2019870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats to both of you Another vote for the metallic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-myself-a-gift#post-2019858 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 17:23:24 +0000 Jane 2019858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cream are lovely. </p> <p>Congratulations to you both! </p>
