Try wearing them over your jeans a few times and if they don't stretch how you want them to then take them to a cobbler.</p> <p>You don't want to take them to a cobbler first as they may stretch on top of that.</p> <p>Cute boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-boot-behavior-question#post-521644 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:58:22 +0000 Lisa 521644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know my Frye boots stretched wtih wear but I cannot speak for this specific style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-boot-behavior-question#post-521252 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:04:05 +0000 Velma 521252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought these beauties in the banana color:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-campus-stitching-horse-banana" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-cam.....rse-banana</a><br /> I've worn them twice, and I'm becoming a little concerned about the fit at the top of the boots. </p> <p>These campus boots are vintage-styled, with a straight shaft, 15" tall. They are roomy over the ankles, with plenty of room over the widest part of my 14" calf. But this is the first pair of boots I've ever had that pinches at the top of the boot! I think the problem is that I have very long calves (17" from anklebone to knee, with a 34" inseam), and these hit me a little further below the knee than they are meant to. </p> <p>So, these boots feel all right over tights (the top of the boot sits right against my leg, but they're not uncomfortable). My worry is over skinny jeans. I really want to be able to tuck jeans into the boots, but I found it barely possible--the boots are so snug around the jeans at the top that they "grab" the fabric and create a lot of wrinkles.</p> <p>My question: will the tops of the boots stretch if I just wear them with jeans a few times? (The leather is butter-soft.) Should I take them to a cobbler and have the top stretched? How much (1/2"? More? Less?)? Other ideas? </p> <p>Sigh. I really want to keep the boots and make them work--I just love the color and stitching. </p>
