Frye Carmen Harness Tall in Light Tan Leather: sexy! I agree with another reviewer who suggests "If you can only buy 1 item for this year's Fall/Winter wardrobe, buy this boot!" It's absolutely stunning. Glides on without any resistance. Comfy & wearable. Looks high-heel, but without the pain. Leather is buttery. Color is neutral. Although
Frye calls it "Light Tan", I call it regular "Sand/Tan". I'm 5'5", 145 lbs., muscular calves. Fits my larger calf perfectly. Comes all the way up just under my knee, & stays up just fine. Leather-lined. If the heaviness of other
Frye boots bothers you, this is much lighter-weight, & may be a good selection. Sizing: Most/all
Frye reviews suggest that Frye's run big, & that you should size down. I differ - had to go up a whole size. I am a size 9W in
Frye open-back
mules,
Uggs,
Naturalizer, &
Propet sneakers. A
Frye size 9 boot is just too small - size 10 boot fits me perfectly. I also found the similar
Frye style "Jane-Tall-Cuff" boot, & am keeping both! I've never felt such comfy
boots! If you are on the fence, don't hesitate. These will serve you in comfort & style indefinitely. They're keepers!
