I wear a 7, very occasionally a 7.5 and the 7 fit perfectly. </p> <p>I also have narrow calves and the laces on these boots are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714637 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:28:53 +0000 Sylvie 714637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, thank you, thank you! Will respond to everyone later but I will go ahead with my regular size. I have small calves too.</p> <p>Order placed!</p> <p>Elle, thank you so much for offering to go out of the way and try them on. That is incredibly sweet of you! </p> <p>April, thank you for chiming in on the "stick with your size" side. Also that's a great tip to stalk ebay - I don't know about you, but I need to get my act together and set up recurring alerts.</p> <p>Traci, I used my 20% signup code from Amazon to order this (and four more pairs of shoes). I'll only end up keeping one pair, but the no-tax + 20% was pretty compelling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714517 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 12:38:02 +0000 April 714517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another suggestion: check eBay. Sometimes new Fryes with the most minor issues (such as getting scuffed in the store) get posted at significant discounts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714492 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 11:52:57 +0000 Traci 714492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh sylvie! I've been drooling over these babies too! I even had them in my cart last night, all the way up to the checkout and they would have been here today by noon. I didn't pull the trigger, but I'm really really tempted. My husband's response of "No, really, how much are they?" is really holding me back.</p> <p>FWIW, I was going to order my normal Frye size, which is a half size down from my normal boot size.</p> <p>eta: If anyone is interested black and can wear a 9.5, I like these even better than the melissa and they're on a great discount.<br /> <a href="http://www.endless.com/FRYE-Vienna-Lace-Up-Womens/dp/B001VNBP9K" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/FRYE-Vi.....B001VNBP9K</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714491 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 11:44:08 +0000 April 714491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these in brown and I have my regular size (just went downstairs to the boot storage section of the basement to be sure.)</p> <p>The laces make them pretty adjustable, Sylvie, but I should point out that the reason I got these was that they fit my skinny calves (12"). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714414 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 07:23:48 +0000 ElleH 714414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are they at Nordstrom? I could try them on for you. I have a lot of Frye in varying sizes but in most shoes am a size 8. I have a wide foot but can rarely find shoes in W.</p> <p>ETA: I don't see the lace-up ones at Nordstrom, Macy's or Bloomies but I will be near a Bloomies tomorrow &amp; could try the regular Frye Melissa's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714387 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 06:21:08 +0000 Sylvie 714387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eek! I have great advice, but they conflict with each other.</p> <p>Rae had to size down. Fern had to size up.</p> <p>I've never had an issue wearing shoes a half size too big. This would push me towards a 9.</p> <p>But then, leather can be stretched and these boots run long. This would push me towards an 8.5</p> <p>Harmonica: They are quite beautiful boots - I think several people on the forum have them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714365 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 05:27:37 +0000 harmonica 714365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i know nothing of these boots or sizes, but they look awsome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714320 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 04:43:56 +0000 fern 714320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went up 1/2 size, from my usual 9 1/2 to a 10. I think they are a little narrow across the ball of the foot, but I can wear socks in the 10.<br /> You made me get them out of the hall closet to check the size, so I got to say hello to them - it's still too warm for boots here, but they'll be back in action soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714287 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 04:15:21 +0000 rae 714287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty sure this is the style I came across at the flea market recently. I usually wear an 8.5 in most shoes, and usually an 8 in Frye. The size 7.5 I found fit me perfectly in the footbed. I think they should be ok for a wider foot, because I had to tighten the bottom part of the laces a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-about-frye-melissa-laceup-sizing#post-714281 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 04:03:15 +0000 Sylvie 714281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do they run small or large?</p> <p>I'm an 8.5W. I wear an 8.5 in sandals/shoes that are stretchy. I typically size up to a 9 for boots. My Frye Phillip Harness boots are a 9.</p> <p>I see anecdotes online that people size down in the Melissa's. Should I go for an 8.5 or a 9?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
