Frye Melissa Button Back Zip Boot

The 2011 New Melissa Button Back Zip Boot for Women and Other Comparable Boot Styles

Tonya Brisnehan
One of the new styles for women from Frye this year that is a sure hit is the Frye Melissa Button Back Zip. This boot is crafted from sleek, soft leather and is what I like to call a long, tall drink of water. It has all of the style of the original Melissa button with the added look and functionality of the back zipper, making it much easier to put on and take off. Already available in four different color versions, this boot retails at around $330.

If you have not yet made a final purchase decision for this boot, there are some other similar tall riding boot styles that you might want to check over first:

Frye Erin Riding Boot: This boot is another new style from Frye, combining the look of a tall riding boot with a bit of a look borrowed from the Veronica slouch. It is a riding boot with a slouchy fashion to it, including a slender buckled strap around the top of the boot and a slender harness strap around the ankle. Gorgeous. At this writing this boot is available in just a couple of colors but if it takes off in popularity like I think it will, additional color variations will be available. This boot has a retail price of around $350.

Frye Paige Riding Boot: The Paige Riding Boot is practically a classic among the Frye collection for women, and is another gorgeous long, tall style. The top of the shaft has a flap sort of a look, making it possible to fold it over for a different look. A versatile boot for women, this is a great choice for any woman who loves the Frye brand and quality. This boot is available in a few rich and earthy colors and also retails for around $350.

Calvin Klein Marinah Boot: Here is the tallest boot on the list, having a whopping 17 plus inch shaft. Almost needless to say this boot sports quite a sleek look with a couple of different materials it is made from, add on a thick strap at the top of the shaft and a side zipper for convenience and this boot is a winner. It comes in a couple of dark shades and has a retail price of around $210.

It seems that women's riding boot styles will not be out of the fashion loop any time soon, and the list of the boots above including the Frye Melissa Button Back Zip Boot are sure winners for this year and will continue to be winners for years to come.
