I need a pair of comfy boots, that are flat! I have been searching since last fall for the perfect boot. Part of me wants to break down and just buy the frye boots b/c I know I will wear them all the time and get the moneys worth out of them, but I think M might have a stoke if I spent that much on one pair of boots, and/or go out and buy something of equal value which would be the same cost as a weekend get away... Unless there is a Frye outlet I don't know about?? Anyway... thoughts on these?

Overstock

Like these... but the red zipper is a no!

Target

Personally I like the last ones the best but I also like really dark brown leather so that could be it Wink

How much do you plan to wear them? I probably wouldn't get boots from Target. I do have a pair from DSW that were cheap (bare traps) and aren't leather (but they fit my calves...) but they won't hold up for more than one, maybe two more seasons.

I like all of them (very cute!) but if you're going to wear them a lot, definitely don't go with a Target pair. While I love their shoes, I find they wear out quickly.

I really like the look of the third pair (I want something like them), but agree that if you will wear them a lot, you should go for something of better quality. I have a hard time finding tall boots because my calves are big, but I found some good, reasonably priced ones at endless.com last year. Free shipping both ways, too.

One thing is to remember different seasons... I will wear them from Nov-Feb, and won't be wearing them to work, so just weekend/travel wear. I know what you mean about Target, pretty much the only shoes I have bought from there are flip flops, b/c the rest are so uncomfortable. I don't know why I thought their boots would be any better. I looked at DSW last week and didn't find anything. I haven't tried Off Broadway. This is really hard when I am trying to stay under $100. Jo, I am checking out endless now.

I think nov-feb is more or less one season clothing wise; just rules out things like this which wouldn't be that practical in Atlanta anyway

These are really popular and I've seen them at Macy's (I'm sure you could get them on sale too)

Yes the first one, if we had another ice storm/snow storm, but we get maybe one of those a year!

Good call on the second ones! Amazon has them too and an excuse to got to Macys!

I agree, the red zipper is a no. I saw that on a pair at Famous Footwear and Target last year when I was out searching for my tan boots.

Kohl's had a nice selection, that's where I ended up getting mine. They are cognac colored riding boots. But I've also considered getting the Frye boots too....

But of the ones you PIP'd, I like the first ones.

Out of the ones you PIPed I like the first pair the best. But I agree with the other ladies, for the boots, skip Target. You will probably have to spend over $100 to get a good pair that will last.
