Love both pairs of Frye boots. Warning: Devils advocate questions follow. With the shearling lined, do you get cold feet? I'd worry that Seattle weather would be too warm for them. On the other hand, if you venture over to the Inland Empire often in the fall, winter and spring, those would be brilliant. With the studded Deborah's, those are gorgeous and I bet would be more wearable and longer lasting than the Nine West ones. But I suspect that they'll feel a little tame to you in comparison.
