Just a random PSA for anyone who has been stalking Fryes; these are $69.99 right now except where I noted a different price.
Style: Melissa Button Back Zip, Color: Black Antique Full Grain Sizes: 6 and 5.5. No shock that the 5.5 is so low; but I think 6 is a relatively common size, no? (I wear a 6, so of course I think it's normal, lol.) www.amazon.com/FRYE-Melissa-Back-Zip-Vintage-Leather/dp/B004HVC3Z8
There may be a few others as well, so if you're interested I'd take a look at your size and check some of the colors. And really, if you wear a 5.5, the Frye world appears to be your (cheap!) oyster.
It's weird, several of the 6's were on sale and I don't really understand why. Keep checking back there; as far as I can tell prices just swing around wildly for no clear reason. Which is typical amazon.
Nice! I got my first Frye's a few weeks ago and paid double that at amazon. Sadly not one of these size/color combos or I'd try for a price adjustment, even though I think they stopped doing those.
