Frye Carson Lace Up Boot for Women

The Frye Carson Lace Up Boot is one of the newer boots introduced into the women's Frye collection in 2011. While this is a new boot style for Frye, I suspect it will become one of the tried and true boot styles and perhaps will eventually become a classic, go-to style.

This boot has classic looks -- a bit of a rugged lace-up ankle boot style. Gorgeous leather upper, and while the leather is soft the construction is built to be tough. Lace up style, with the familiar smooth bumped toe look of the Carson western boot. It is lined with smooth leather, cushioned leather footbed and a durable leather outsole. It has a bit of a heel of 1 1/2 inches and an ankle-height boot shaft of 4 1/2 inches. Retail price for the Carson Lace-Up is around $248.

For those women who would like to take a look at other styles that compare in looks and general design, here are a few that have similar appearances:

Frye Sabrina Lace Up Boot -- This boot also comes from the women's Frye collection, and I believe that it is also a fairly new style in the collection as of 2011. It has a general work boot style - but is so much more. It has a thick leather upper that is designed to last a long time. It is also lined with a smooth leather and features a cushioned leather footbed. Rubber outsole for great traction. It has a heel that makes it ultra-feminine, coming in at a little more than 2 inches. Ankle boot style - 5 1/2 inches for the shaft. Retail price is around $248.

Blowfish Java Boot -- This is a much more cost-effective style, though one might want to consider the life of the boot's construction when compared to the Carson. It is a cute lace-up style boot for women - constructed with a thick burlap canvas material upper, with a sort of roughed up appearance to the fabric. Front lacing style, with a feminine looking floral fabric lining. Heel height is 1 inch, with an ankle boot height, shaft is about 6 1/2 inches. Retail price for this boot is around $60.

Dr. Martens 1460 for Women -- I questioned whether or not to compare this boot to the Carson Lace-Up, since it is truly a classic in itself, and perhaps it is more appropriate to compare other boots to it, rather than visa versa. However the fact remains that it is comparable in style to the women's Frye Carson Lace Up. This boot has become sort of a staple boot in many women's wardrobes, and is built tough to last. It can be found in a huge number of different colors and prints and retails for around $120.

For those women who are searching for a classic looking lace up style in an ankle height boot, any of the boots above would probably be good choices. All of the boots including the Frye Carson Lace Up Boot for women have lower prices online than one can find in stores.
