I love your WIW. About the Frye boots, I just wanted to tell you that I actually ordered and returned the same pair, a while ago. They are very stiff and need breaking in. I just wanted to bring it up, in case you worry about comfort. Most Fryes need breaking in, in my experience.</p> <p>I returned them because they feel too western for my style, but they were gorgeous and well made. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-hunt-cognac-slouchy-midcalf-boots#post-828538 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:50:11 +0000 abc 828538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and the funny thing is, the Fryes are not really slouchy, which is what I want(ed). I still think they are the best option and will fill the wardrobe hole nicely. If I get them I will update the forum. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-hunt-cognac-slouchy-midcalf-boots#post-828534 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:48:33 +0000 abc 828534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes ever since I saw Fryes mentioned here I have longed for some, never knew the brand before YLF. </p> <p>I have somewhat wide feet, I can wear regular or wide widths, and I have wide calves, but the mid-calf height seems to alleviate that issue. </p> <p>The reviews of the Frye Carmen Harness Short are glowing for people with wider feet and calves, so I should probably just bite the bullet and get those. I have had my eye on them for a while.</p> <p>Thanks everyone for the suggestions and feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-hunt-cognac-slouchy-midcalf-boots#post-828529 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:34:09 +0000 texstyle 828529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would def. suggest Frye if you can find some in the right style - they really seem to have wonderful boots! I like the Frye - Veronica Shortie that I just got. But I realize you want a larger heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-hunt-cognac-slouchy-midcalf-boots#post-828236 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:46:41 +0000 abc 828236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions, kellygirl and Beth Ann. </p> <p>I should have mentioned that I think I want a bit of a heel on the boot, maybe up to 2.5-3 inches (you can't see in the photo but the boots I have are about 2.5" heel). </p> <p>I think those few inches really help elongate and balance out my proportions and give a slightly dressier vibe. </p> <p>I just checked and the Pikolinos are 2" and the Frye Carmen Harness Short are 2.5" - the links that kellygirl posted are 1" and 1-1/4" so I am looking for something with a bit more height.</p> <p>If you have other suggestions I am open. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-hunt-cognac-slouchy-midcalf-boots#post-828219 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:17:39 +0000 Beth Ann 828219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly is a boot queen --- I defer to her wisdom! I do really like the Pikolinos, although I think I prefer them in black --- more like a motorcycle boot --- wich doesn't fill your wardrobe hole! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-hunt-cognac-slouchy-midcalf-boots#post-828208 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:03:05 +0000 kellygirl 828208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute boots. I like them both a lot. The second one definitely has a more western vibe but it's not over the top. I love mid calf boots for tucking--a nice solid boot helps ground and balance outfits with skinnies (like the ones you posted.) Here are some others I like:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-veronica-shortie-spice-burnished-antiques-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-ver.....es-leather</a><br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/miz-mooz-detty-tan" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/miz-mooz-detty-tan</a><br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/eric-michael-laguna-tan" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/eric-michael-laguna-tan</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-hunt-cognac-slouchy-midcalf-boots#post-828173 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 03:16:13 +0000 abc 828173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am searching for a pair of cognac slouchy midcalf boots to replace the ones in the pic below. I really hate that they are not real leather, but I love the style. </p> <p>I have only found two options but they both seem a little casual / western to me. I am not a westernwear type person, but they might add a little edge to my outfits so I have not ruled them out.</p> <p>The two options I am looking at are:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pikolinos-andorra-short-boot/3434771" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pi.....ot/3434771</a></p> <p>and</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-carmen-harness-short-tan-vintage-veg-tan" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-car.....ge-veg-tan</a></p> <p>I am thinking of wearing them with skinny jeans, leggings and with bootcuts over the top. </p> <p>Are these 2 options dated, out of style or give a really western vibe? I think it's the heel that is throwing me off - the pair I am replacing have a thinner, dressier heel (yet are still substantial, they are not like a thin stiletto heel). See pic below.</p> <p>Does anyone know of any others out there that might fit the bill?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>abc </p>
