BE CAREFUL! It really hurt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-carson-shortie-owners-does-it-really-run-small#post-402569 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:06:36 +0000 nancylee 402569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well....I went ahead and ordered size 8 (half size smaller than my normal 8.5) and I'm sure glad I did! They are huge! I am going to prance around in them tomorrow with some thicker socks, but I'm almost wondering if I should go for a 7.5. I have somewhat narrow feet, and my heel is really slipping in these. </p> <p>Thanks so much for all the advice, everyone. modgrl....they are indeed slippery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-carson-shortie-owners-does-it-really-run-small#post-401464 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:44:08 +0000 MNsara 401464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a solid 8.5 and got some Carsons, the regular height, in 8. They were roomy enough in 8.5 that I would have had to add some definite socks. I wish the 8 were a bit wider for my slightly wide foot though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-carson-shortie-owners-does-it-really-run-small#post-401447 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:30:32 +0000 sarah 401447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm.....I'm a size 7 and mine are TSS. (I do wear socks on them, well "sockettes" or whatever those anklet things are called) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-carson-shortie-owners-does-it-really-run-small#post-400982 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:42:03 +0000 rgcamom 400982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!! I am a size 8...8.5 in sandals. I haven't worn a 7 or 7.5 since before I had my kids (13 years ago! :)) so I didn't believe it either.</p> <p> I ordered the 7.5 and 8. The 7.5 is big on me but comfortable. The 8 is HUGE for an 8. I think I could have even worn a seven. I would just go down a half size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-carson-shortie-owners-does-it-really-run-small#post-400940 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 16:56:04 +0000 modgrl 400940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feet are between 5.5/6 depending on the style. I bought a 6 in the carson shorties. They are very cute shoes but have extremely slippery bottoms. Be prepared to glue on some non-slips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-carson-shortie-owners-does-it-really-run-small#post-400933 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 16:52:12 +0000 Diana 400933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say that mine run true to size or maybe even a teeny bit big. I usually wear an 8 in boots and a 7.5 in sandals or pumps. My carson shorties are a 7.5 and I have room for socks and arch support insoles. They are correct in length and there is even plenty of room in the toe box for my bunion. They gape a bit up top but I am assured that is normal for cowboy style boots. I do have extremely low insteps and arches though, so if you have high instep/arches you might need to size up... I suspect w/ fryes that the instep is often the problem in terms of sizing because they do not have zippers or laces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-carson-shortie-owners-does-it-really-run-small#post-400895 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 16:11:35 +0000 nancylee 400895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the market for a pair of Frye Carson shorties and am trying to decide between my normal size and a half size smaller. Many of the Zappos reviews say the boot runs a half size big...but often this type of advice steers me wrong. I know I could just order both and return the one that doesn't fit..but I'm curious.</p> <p>What's your experence? Does it run big?</p> <p>(I had to amend this post.....I was originally saying that it ran small!) </p>
