I love those--I've actually contemplated them pretty seriously for myself. But they are a whole lotta look, that's fer sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514932 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:39:28 +0000 Jaime 514932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My two cents: if I were buying new boots I think I would seriously look at the Melissas, but really it depends how they look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514928 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:32:03 +0000 CocoLion 514928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to pick the Rogans because they are edgy and also they have the slimmest calf circumference so you can get a nice close fit. I hate loose looking tall boots, that's why you almost never see me in them, I can't find ones to fit my 12.5 inch calves (12.75" on the right leg though!). Also the Rogans are leather lined and have a 1.5 inch heel which is a very perfect height. But you have to be OK with the industrial look and shorter height of the boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514900 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:52:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 514900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Melissa's are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514856 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:05:07 +0000 goldenpig 514856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, since I have two pairs, I vote Melissa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514815 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:25:04 +0000 mama23 514815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Melissa are Amazing! beautiful &amp; not too over the top, just the right amount of edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514770 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:51:59 +0000 catgirl 514770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are just going on a wish list for now... looks like the Melissas have it! Birthday coming up in April. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514767 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:50:22 +0000 modgrl 514767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>16.5" is too high for a shortie. I like the Melissa's, they seem more practical and versatile. you already have mud stomper spat boots (and others if I recall). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514764 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:49:10 +0000 Laura 514764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strong preference for the Melissa here. But I think the fit of these needs to be so perfect that this has to be the deciding factor. Knowing that you are petite like me, I'd really be curious to see how tall these boots are. Not so fab if they lace up over your knees </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514744 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:21:27 +0000 cciele 514744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Melissa -- more streamlined, elegant<br /> Rogans -- stompy, bikerish<br /> Veronica -- casual, slouchy</p> <p>(Obviously) the leather for each of these boots is going to be different, so it depends on what effect you are going after. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514737 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:02:36 +0000 Mochi 514737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Melissa. I agree that Rogan looks like a ski boot, and I don't know why but Melissa is more elegant than Veronica. (I love it in brown leather...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514720 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:34:27 +0000 rae 514720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How tall are your current fave knee boots? The melissas are 15.5, the rogans are 14, and the veronicas are 16.5. For me, 14-16 is a big difference in terms of looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514716 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:31:08 +0000 rae 514716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the waffle stompers. But I think, unfortunately, the proof would be to try them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514714 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:27:26 +0000 kellygirl 514714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Melissa FTW! I love those. The grommetty things on the Rogan look too "waffle stomper" to me. I don't like the finish on the Veronica. I love the Melissa--sleek, dressy or casual, nice finish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514712 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:27:06 +0000 MNsara 514712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A quick read on Zappos and I'd vote for the Melissas over the Veronicas. I eliminated the Rogan - I think it's visually too much and the hardware too much like old-time ski boots (but clearly that's just me).<br /> 1. 49 highly favorable reviews (Veronica only has two)<br /> 2. 15.5 inch shaft (Veronica 16.5!)<br /> 3. A couple YLFers have rocked the Melissas (has anyone got the Veronicas?)</p> <p>ETA: Did I miss your quilted 80%20 boots. . .? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-off-melissa-vs-rogan-vs-veronica#post-514705 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:21:29 +0000 catgirl 514705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Melissa: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-melissa-tall-lace-black-leather?zlfid=111&#038;recoName=zap_pdp_cross" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-mel....._pdp_cross</a></p> <p>vs.</p> <p>Rogan: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-rogan-tall-lace-zip-black-vintage-leather?channel=135&#038;mr:referralID=582d56c3-4222-11e1-b2fa-001b2166becc" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-rog.....1b2166becc</a></p> <p>vs. </p> <p>Veronica: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-veronica-lace-tall" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-veronica-lace-tall</a></p> <p>Just curious, not investing yet but keeping a close eye as I think about certain boots leaving the closet to make room for others... </p>
