One of Frye's most popular styles, and with good reason, the 'Paige' is easy to pair with nearly any casual outfit in your wardrobe, and its timeless good looks that will hold up for years to come. Available in several versatile and classic colors, these boots have shafts that are 16 inches tall and 16 inches in circumference.

I'm crazy about these boots. They're casual, they're colorful, and they're slouchy -- but not in an overdone way. Instead, these Frye boots have just a hint of slouchiness, 1.25" flat heels, and a couple of belts for good measure. Cute with jeans, or with a casual skirt, these boots rock in sapphire and taupe, and they come in several other great colors as well.
3. 'Harlow Stitch Cuff' - Frye Boots with High Heels

Though Frye is best-known for their ultra-cool casual boots, the "Harlow Stitch Cuff" makes it clear that they seem to know a thing or two about high heeled, dressier boots as well. With 4.25" heels and .75" platform soles, these sexy Frye boots have 18.5" tall shafts, and can be dressed up or down. They're as eye-catching with their collars folded down as they are with them pulled up.
4. Frye 'Carson Shortie' - Western Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are all the rage this season, as are boots with western styling. That pretty much makes these ankle boots from Frye a no-brainer. Available in loads of colors ranging from fun colors like violet, purple and yellow, to more traditional shades like taupe and gray, these boots have 1.75" heels and a pull-on design. Perfect with skinny jeans.
5. 'Jenna Chain' - Tall Women's Boots from Frye

If you're looking for a pair of boots with a hint of edginess, but don't want to look as if you've just joined a youth gang, you may want to have a look at these cool and casual boots from Frye. With chain and harness ring accents, premium leather uppers, and 1.25" heels, these boots are just begging for a pair of skinny jeans or leggings to be tucked into them, but I'd love to pair a short skirt and tights with them too.
6. Frye Shoes for Women - 'Belted Harness' Mules

Regular readers know what a fan I am of mules, and these backless shoes from Frye are a great example of why. With all the appeal of an old-school western boot, but without the nuisance of actually wearing a boot, these backless shoes feature worn-looking leather uppers and chunky 2" heels. If like me, you like your jeans long, these shoes will be a favorite on casual days.
