Chic for Cheap: Merona Kasia Boots versus Frye Melissa Button Boots
Posted by Colleen on November 18, 2011 in Fashion
This time of year I think we can all agree, saving money is a plus! But what if we are pining after the perfect pair of riding boots? (ahem, me!) What’s a budget-minded girl to do when Frye Melissa Button boots seem to be screaming my name?
Well leave it to Target to create something similarly drool-worthy for way less! I should have known!
The Frye Melissa Button Boot retails for $328 and comes in a whopping 17 different colors of beautiful leather.
The Merona Kasia Boot from Target retails for $69.99 (gasp!) and comes in black, brown and cognac (lighter than it sounds).
I was very pleased to learn that the Target Merona Kasia Boot compared very nicely to the Frye Melissa as far as shaft height, heel height, leather outer, etc. Now sure, the Merona Kasia has a man-made interior lining vs. the real leather of the Frye (you do get what you pay for after all) but face it, for the amount of money you are saving it very well may be worth it! Target offers free shipping when you spend $50 or more. Also, if you spend more than $70, you can click on this link to save $7 on your entire order.
Unfortunately, these are only available online. The good news? You can return them in-store if you don’t like them. Win-win. I have read many reviews online though saying they are more of a pebbled leather than smooth. I have also learned that they are extremely comfortable to many wearers.
What do you think? Have you tried the budget-friendly Merona Kasia boot? Is the savings worth it over the Frye Melissa Button? Chime in, let us know what you think! Here is a comparison of the two different pairs:
Frye Melissa Button Boots, $328
Target Merona Kasia Boots, $69.99
