I love<br /> my plain Veronica's. I think the fringe would drive me batty but I think you should try them and see how they work with your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down/page/2#post-1543510 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 03:56:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1543510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I've spent a good five minutes going back through this thread to find out where the goats came in. I cannot believe a goat tried to eat your skirt. (Well, I can believe it, because how could you make up something like that??)<br />They are cool boots, for sure. Yes, very cool boots. <br />They do strike me as quite similar to your Gidiglios. Says the woman who has four pairs of cap-toe belted ballet flats. And now three pairs of short moto boots. <br />I have a tendency to buy the same things over and over, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down/page/2#post-1543426 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 23:48:22 +0000 gryffin 1543426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding? &nbsp;Like ducks to water!! &nbsp;They would toughen up the blazer so it does not skew too classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543424 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 23:40:49 +0000 catgirl 1543424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More goats FTW!&nbsp; Still agonizing... Would they go with the teal blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543418 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 23:20:10 +0000 shedev 1543418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should try them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543408 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 23:08:39 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1543408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I only wonder if they would move around *enough* or if the leather is too heavy. And it occurs to me that they could have a balancing effect on the lower half, for an IT person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543401 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:57:37 +0000 gryffin 1543401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We love what we love Una. I think the vibe is different - ultimate moto vs edgy equestrian. You would not confuse them. But here sits a woman ready to try those blonde Eden otk suede boots. Hey waterproof, low heeled, suede but I have the aw otk hammers in leather to me yes similar but different vibe from one who lives in boots. The straps may be annoying or amazing but they are incredibly cool. I think you'll always wonder if you don't try them on. ps. You do go to frequent film festivals if anyone deserves totally cool footwear you do. They would go a long way toward making a stellar outfit just sayin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543397 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:50:55 +0000 Beth 1543397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I don't see the flappage as an issue due to weight. I think you should buy them and sell me the Gidigios.</p> <p>I think you'll obsess until you order them and see what they're like. Besides, attracting more goats is not necessarily a baaaaad thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543396 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:49:37 +0000 Brooklyn 1543396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them too. I would be concerned about the flapping/noise issue so would definitely want to try them out first. Especially for the price. I think they are similar to your existing boots but much more unique in terms of style. Keep in mind I love all things Frye so my judgment is totally suspect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543394 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:48:14 +0000 catgirl 1543394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, great points.&nbsp; I love the Gidigios beyond reason.&nbsp; They have held up like iron, and are still a favorite.&nbsp; These seem a bit more equestrian, as you've said, but with a similar vibe.&nbsp; I don't tend to fall out of love with items I truly love, but I do tend to be drawn to the same things consistently.&nbsp; And I also have a lot of false starts.&nbsp; </p> <p>If these fit well, there is no question they would be a long term love (assuming the flappage issue was not a concern).&nbsp; The question is: more of the same, or branch out, or status quo?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543370 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:59:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1543370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and they look taller than the gidigios but they are quite similar. &nbsp;I wouldn't have thought of the flappage either. &nbsp;From the link, I have to say that I love them too Una. &nbsp;I just don't know if they would be that gorgeous guy you dated in school who was wrong and you finally had to let him go. &nbsp;*sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543350 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:14:30 +0000 AJ 1543350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't envision those straps floating as you walk.&nbsp; They seem too heavy for that.&nbsp; You may just attract more goats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543347 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:14:07 +0000 gryffin 1543347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - a question - when you love something do you stay in love with it? &nbsp;I only know when things really speak to me, there is a rightness about them even when I can't articulate it. &nbsp;If they fit, and I like the description - almost a true equestrian fit with the straps like a horse's mane. &nbsp;I've never seen anything quite like them. &nbsp;I have tell you one of my regrets is not tracking down your gidigios when I saw them. &nbsp;They are totally divine. &nbsp;If these speak to you the same way, then I would try them on. &nbsp;If they are awful you'll send them back. &nbsp;But at least you'll know for sure. &nbsp;I think the only things I regret are letting things get away. &nbsp;I'm a good returner and if I make mistakes and I do, I can live with that. &nbsp;In your locale boots are an almost year round wear, so you deserve really fab ones. &nbsp;I vote a try on!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543329 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 20:39:51 +0000 deb 1543329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I think they will sound like a charm bracelet when you walk. They will definitely call attention to you, not just in looks but also in noise level. Another thought, you will not be able to sneak out of anywhere with these on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543313 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 20:10:20 +0000 Susie 1543313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been a tough day (tough week, tough month) workwise, and I just so appreciate this post because I needed a laugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543311 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:56:32 +0000 unfrumped 1543311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OKay, Carnack predicts:</p> <p>These will have too much strappage flappage, more like saber-rattling or a loose auto part than flowy fringe, the strappage will be the weakest link in their longevity, and you should say, "next". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543297 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:31:34 +0000 catgirl 1543297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, you crack me up!&nbsp; It seems like the boot equivalent of a long duster! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543289 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:18:17 +0000 viva 1543289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, think your Gidigios are very similar. But haven't you had them awhile? Maybe they need a closet partner. And those Fryes are very cool. I'm not sure I would love the flappage personally, but I get it visually and would love to look at it; I think it's part of the allure of the style. I keep getting flashes of a Mel Gibson Braveheart kind of moment ... in a good way. Una, striding across a stormy Alaskan scene, with her fringe streaming behind her ....&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543287 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:16:52 +0000 Anonymous 1543287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Fryes<i> might</i> be wearable in real life but seem like more of a runway/statement/night out type thing.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543286 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:15:39 +0000 Aziraphale 1543286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahahaaaaaaaa ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543284 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:13:38 +0000 catgirl 1543284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Briefly - it wasn't the flapping but the lack of flattery that did me in.&nbsp; I don't like long fringe on skirts.&nbsp; The last time I wore one a goat tried to eat it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543281 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:08:59 +0000 Aziraphale 1543281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've never owned a pair of flared pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543280 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:06:35 +0000 catgirl 1543280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if I've ever owned an item with flappage issues!

But don't you think the straps mind drive you a bit nuts with flapping around, getting caught in the car door, getting dirty etc ? &nbsp;Or am I just projecting my fears? &nbsp; I would have the urge to cut about 3 inches off of them. &nbsp; The price also &nbsp;made me swallow my coffee in one mouthful - but if it's in the budget....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543263 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 18:42:58 +0000 catgirl 1543263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The thing that sold me is the description that they were made for narrower calves - Fryes are often way too gappy for me.&nbsp; But I'm not sure if they are too similar!&nbsp; I fixed the link... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-boots-talk-me-down#post-1543261 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 18:38:19 +0000 abc 1543261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry. &nbsp;I really think they scream UNA !!!! </p>
