The Melissa equestrian-inspired tall boots are made from hard-wearing leather design. Contoured through the ankle for support and the most faltering shape, they have a modernized topline with newly signature Frye button details at the pull tabs providing a tailored look. Slight heel with lug soles. This pair has been lovingly worn. What does that mean? They’re in EXCELLENT condition AND have already been broken in for you! Trust me, that’s a huge plus. Breaking in a legit leather boot can be painful for the feet at first, but that’s already been done for you. So you’ll jump into them already feeling comfy:) As leather naturally wears, there are some typical scuffs and marks, the nature of most of which are shown in the photos. These boots are amazing and will last you a lifetime. Literally. (My dad still wears his original Frye’s from the 70’s)
