Reasons I'm Harboring an Unhealthy Obsession With These Frye Boots
1. When I flipped to their page in the Nordstrom catalog a couple weeks ago, I literally gasped and said, "Lord almighty" in a southern accent, which I've never said before in my life.2. They would go with pants, skirts, dresses, shorts, overalls, burlap sacks, or a Mary Kate Olsen-esque combination of all of the above.
3. That exposed zipper is really sexy and suggestive, although I'm sure if someone were to erotically unzip it, they'd only find a pale, hairy leg in dire need of some moisturizer, and then I'd be like, "Dude, it's winter! I can't maintain my smooth leg care regimen year-round! Cut me some slack, here!"
4. These boots would be a great way to hide pale, hairy, unmoisturized legs from judging eyes and winter chills.
5. They're 277.95, which is an exorbitant amount of money for me, but if you add all those numbers together and then subtract 5 and divide it by 7, it spells "BUY ME, WINONA," and how am I supposed to argue with that?

I have just died of laughing at number 3 because it is a FACT. Did you buy them? I can't bring myself to invest in a pair of Fryes because I'm afraid my calves are going to expand exponentially between now and ... the age of 80 which is how long I want them to last.
Reason #5 is enough, in and of itself. NUMEROLOGY WANTS YOU TO HAVE THESE.
ahh I'm obessing over Frye boots too..I'm trying to tell myself that their so expensive because they will last forever.
[enable] So that's really not such a bad price for a pair of boots that you will pass along to your grandchildren. Not even kidding about the grandchildren. My dad has a pair of Frye boots he bought in the mid to late '60s that have been resoled easily three times, survived me stealing them constantly in high school (he had to hide them when I went away to college) and if I got on the ball with providing grandbabies like my parents ask, would easily survive them too. I think those boots are bulletproof. [/enable]
And anyway, those are positively a steal compared to the boots I fell in love with on Sunday:

And you can wear them for 6 months of the year. Which means they work out at about $12 a week, or...£1.70 a day! Which isn't much at all really.
Gotta think about the recession ;)
LOL I actually think it spells "buy me, Amber!" - these are awesome and I'm envious.
STOP! Do not run, do not walk - Take a cab to Target, and buy these $50 Fry-alikes instead:

LOVE THEM!! I got both the black and the tan. At the time I ordered, they were buy one, get one 1/2 off. The leather is already broken in, and the black almost has a suede finish to it. There's no zipper, so I had to go up a size. My heel slips a little, but that's remedied with a mid-weight sock.
Seriously. Ask Maggie. These boots RAWK!
sed on your narwhal post from the other day, methinks you need this:

Ugh I hate Frye. Their boots are usually $500 in the Victorias Secret catalog and I love them all.... BASTARDS
#5 is pretty persuasive.
It makes me glad, in a sick way, that Frye doesn't make stuff in my size. Or I would be So Broke. These are gorgeous.
I love those reasons. I kind of wish I didn't have a pair of perfectly adequate brown leather boots right now, because everyone knows that "perfectly adequate" does not equal Frye.
I once got a pair of Frye boots but Henry the dog hated them. Look at his "WTF!" expression: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2008/07/agony-of-feet/
MMmmm. Frye Boots! They make a mid-height red harness boot that makes me a little lusty.
Can't you, with all your blogging power and writers finess, just write to Frye and ask for 2 pair: one to keep and one to give to the winner who gave you the idea to ask them for 2 pair of boots?
I too am obsessed with and long for Frye boots. I hear that Ebay is a good option for them.
So... did you get them?
I am hoping the answer is yes!
I had to hold an intervention with myself at DSW over a pair of Fryes. If they had this pair though, I'd tell my sensible side to shut up and buy them.
I didn't buy them...YET. But all your encouragement/enabling is inching me closer to the "add to cart" button! :)

You are awesome. I love your wit...
You never fail to make me giggle. Thanks for this Tuesday! <3
Okay, so I just got my new boots in today! Yay! They are fantabuloso! I love them so much, I cried a little when I pulled them from the packaging.
I also just ordered you first book! I can't wait to read it :]

LOL, I am so with you on the winter leg care regimen. And with the Frye boots obsession.
#3 is so, so, so very true.

Loving these boots! Price is relative if they are perfect though! My favorite are a pair that looks identical at J Shoes. Here's the link:

They are a little cheaper than your Frye's but so worth it! Happy Shopping!
