The Carson 2 Piping Bootie offers a modern twist on a Frye classic with sleek piping details and premium materials. However, some customers find the leather quality cheap and thin, and sizing opinions vary widely. The cushioned insole and flexible rubber outsole provide all-day comfort, making it versatile for jeans or dresses.

"Classic Frye craftmanship & quality. I researched and e-chatted with Frye personnel before purchasing these final sale booties. I was looking for a more dressy bootie, but did not take into account the height of the shaft and circumference. I have narrow feet and ankles. The 6. 5 is normally the perfect size for me; however, not in this style. I love my Reed and Sara booties and will keep looking."
"I was really disappointed in these boots. The leather feels cheap and unusually thin, and any pressure on the material creates a strange crinkly look that doesn’t match the quality I’ve come to expect from Frye. I’ve bought Frye boots in the past and was always thrilled with the craftsmanship, but it seems time has not been kind to the quality of this company. I also made the mistake of not realizing these were marked as non‑returnable, or I never would have ordered them. Now I’m stuck with two pairs I won’t wear, and unfortunately this experience has been frustrating enough that Frye has lost a customer for life."
"Frye Boots continue to be my boot of choice for their superior quality, design and durability. The heel is a perfect height for my daily wear. I have purchased these in black and brown. This bootie comes with a zipper to make on and off so easy. I purchased this in an 8. I normally wear a 7. 5. I purchased the bigger size to add a heavier sock for colder weather."
"I found the Carson Piping 2 booties to run a whole size large. They are much wider than my two other pairs of Frye boots that I have and longer in the toe box. I normally wear a 9. 5 and there is over an inch or space in front of my toes. Unfortunately, the sizing for Frye has been really consistent. I had a pair that did not fit and had to sell them on the exchange. Purchased these with the funds and now I am stuck with another pair that does not fit. The “what’s my size” tool is even telling me that I am a 10 in this style. With the frustration of so many products either not being quality for the price or the size inconsistency, I am not sure if I will purchase any Frye boots in the future."
"These boots are beautiful. They didn’t require a long break in period. They were comfortable after wearing them for a few hours. This is my 2nd pair of this style as I love them so much!"
"The sizing is very off with this style. I do not recommend purchasing. I have six other Frye boots in size 9. 5. After providing photographs of several of my other pairs to customer service, I was able to exchange for 8. 5. Which I thought would fit. Guess what? They are still at least a full size too big! I had no choice but to put these up on the Exchange. Disappointing and ridiculous."
"Comfortable"
"Loved these boots-comfortable, stylish and well made. Can be worn with a casual jeans outfit or dress up."
"I adore these boots! Perfect height, very sturdy and incredibly versatile. I will wear them every day!!!"
"The Booties look very nice. The heel is perfect, can wear with pants and dresses. But they hurt my feet. The part around your ankle is not tight but when you walk or drive it hurts so much. I wore the booties once out and could not wait to come home and take them off. The leather seems soft and my size fits well. Not sure what to do with them now."
