So i had these boots lingering in my cart for at least a year, because lets face it, not all of us have $300+ dollars to spend on a pair boots. They were my "some day" item.

Then it happened. These boots showed up in my cart with a note saying the price had been reduced! My head started to spin and my heart started to beat out of my chest! TODAY WAS "SOME DAY"! The price had indeed been reduced on all three pairs in had in my cart.

Light Brown Brush Off Leather $148.34
Black Soft Vintage Leather $159.47
Dark Brown Antique Soft Full Grain Leather $159.47

$467.28 for three pair of Frye boots is a temptation I could not withstand. I bought all three. Don't judge me.

The week it took them to arrive (though on time) seemed like an eternity. When I came home from work to find them waiting my porch I couldn't wait to rip open the boxes! I was thrilled!

A few things though:

1. The Light Brown Brush Off Leather was much browner than the picture (which looked really tan to me), but that was a plus, I actually liked it way better this way and consider these to be my favorite. Another thing, the soles looked scrapped, like they had been worn outside. not much, but definitely worn more than just a "try on". But nothing earth shattering, and if that is the reason i got the discount, then totally worth it. Also, they didn't have the packaging the other two had. There was no leg insert or tissue paper stuffed in the toe of this pair. Whatever. If you didn't see the sole, you would swear they were brand new.

2. The Black Soft Vintage Leather pair were great. No scuffs, but these also appeared to be missing some original packaging. They had the leg insert, and the toe tissue paper, but we're not individually wrapped like the third pair (Dark Brown Antique Soft Full Grain Leather). I am assuming these black ones had also been returned, but never worn.

3. The Dark Brown Antique Soft Full Grain Leather came individually bagged, with leg inserts and toe tissue, but the leather itself wasn't as nice looking as the others.

On the plus side:

The sizing was true on all boots. I am a 5'5 tall woman with size 10 feet. The 10 fit perfect. The shaft of the boot came to just the right spot a couple inches below the knee. My feet are also pretty wide, but the width was perfect for me, especially taking into consideration the leather will stretch over time, you don't want them too loose or too tight.

The silhouette of the boot was just what I was looking for too. Very tailored and close to my caves. The heel height was also perfect for this style of boot.

So, in closing, I will be keeping all three pairs of boots and rearranging my closet to accommodate. However, if I had to pay full price, I would have fussed about the condition Light Brown Brush Off Leather, and returned the Dark Brown Antique Soft Full Grain Leather, because frankly, they don't look worth $328.00 to me.

hope this novel helped.
