Boots that curl?

Von

I love the boots I have on today so much but they curl up under the toes! They will not sit flat, and for some reason it just bugs me. Is there a way to have a cobbler fix that, or is it just how they're made? It looks all scuffy under there!

Does anyone else have these Frye Paige boots and have the same issue?

Just curious, too! Maybe it's their edge:-)

That's the traditional cowboy boot styling. The shoe is designed like that so you can't "fix" it. Personally I avoid shoes with this styling because it puts more pressure on the balls of my feet, which are already a sore spot for my fussy feet.

Those are beautiful boots. Like Diana says, I think it's just how they're made, and you have to live with the style. I have a pair of cowboy boots that have this is in a pretty pronounced way, and I think it bugged me when I first looked at them, but when I'm wearing them I don't think about it.

This is one of my issues with Frye... It's a look you either love or don't love, but it is definitely the style of the boot!

Thanks ladies. It took some browsing around the net before I finally realized I'm not walking in them wrong to make them do this...it's just what they do. Slightly annoying, but still the first boot I reach for on a cold day!

It's a style. I have some Born shooties that very slightly tip up and in general I am learning I don't like that look; the full-down sole to me looks more polished for the rest of my outfits, in general or I might lean toward the leprechaun or jester look. So it's just information that helps me when I'm looking at items.

They're great looking boots but I'd have to pass. The walking shoes I bought for my trip to Europe had this type of sole and a stretchy fabric upper. I wore them a lot before the trip to break them in. They felt okay at the end of each of the 2 long days (not back to back) I wore them, but after the first day I noticed a purplish tinge to my big toenail. Four months later I still have the purple bruise that developed on day 2!
