Frye Veronica Combat SKU: #7677160

For some reason, this boot has a more masculine vibe in person than it does on the website. Maybe because once you strap these puppies on -- and you'll remember doing that every time because there are no zips or hooks to make the lacing quicker -- you immediately feel their solidity. They are heavy on your feet and you can see why people are always going on about how Frye's boots last forever. The dark brown is a beautiful burnished mahogany color: dark almost reddish brown topped in places by almost black. Very nice. My only concern at the moment is that my heels are rubbing up and down against the boot as I walk. I know that'll be blister city if I don't wear them in gradually.

Perfect fitting boot, looks very stylish. Comfortable, great leather. Laces make for no movement up and down and feels great.

Have worn these shoes about 10 times. They look great with leggings/tights and a dress. My only complaint is that some of the stitching were the leather attaches is coming undone. For such a pricey well known brand I am surprised to see this happening so fast. Very comfortable and I love the way they look. I wear between an 8 1/2 and a 9. The 8 1/2 fits great with thin socks.

Very cute, but I ended up returning these because the length of the shoe was right, but the toe box is extremely low so it irritated my toes when I wore them.

I own four pairs of Frye boots (2x Engineer 12R, Billy Vintage, Veronica Combat), and none of them has ever disappointed me!!! Frye makes AWESOME boots!!! Didn't take long to break these in. They are very comfortable. The Black Stone Wash color is just AWESOME!!! Luv everything about this boot!

Comfy, cute, quirky. I gave only 4 stars for comfort because these are shoes that will need to be broken in. I only gave 4 for style because I wish the heel was just a tiny bit taller. I think the heel being taller would make them more feminine. These boots are worth the money. Even my husband looked them over and said they were worth the price. I think these will be permanent fixtures in my shoe wardrobe.

These boots are really well-made and very comfortable. The leather is nice, and I'm looking forward to getting that broken-in look. Some of the newer Frye's seem to be not as quality as the older ones, but these are definitely what you would expect from Frye.

The distressing was ultra-cool. Very comfortable and true to size with typical Frye quality. No need to break in as in since these were comfortable out of the box. Color was exactly as shown and the Zappos service was excellent as usual.

Love them instantly. Very nice leather. Yes, will need to break in a bit for the perfect fit. They make me happy. More narrow than roomy.

I got these in the dark brown stone wash, and the finish looks great and has a vintage, worn feel to it. They need to be unlaced almost all the way to take them on and off, but nothing you can't get used to - especially if you're wearing them all day. A just-right fit once they're on, and they stay secured. With the right socks, my feet weren't even very cold walking around downtown in the Chicago winter. I would just prepare your heels for some rubbing the first time you wear them. Hopefully once they're broken in the shoes won't have that issue. Otherwise, worth it! I'm confident that these will last a long time.

I love these boots. They are so well made. If it was not for the patience of Zappos and their great customer service I would not have them now. I first tried a 7.5 then an 8 and then I gave up. All too small and tight. But then I tried an 8.5 and that was it. They fit great. For me a full size bigger than what I normally wear was right for me. I just love them.

I've only had the Veronica Combats for a month, and already these boots are in heavy rotation on my feet. I love that they get better and better with age. My feet do ache somewhat after a full day of walking, particularly on the backs of my heels, but that is to be expected when breaking in any pair of boots. I'm sure, over time, this will cease to be an issue. These boots pair well with dresses (especially flirty dresses and gives the look some edge), jeans and skirts. I think this pair will remain a staple in my wardrobe for years to come. This is my third pair of Frye boots, I am officially an addict!

Good styling and well made like all Frye boots. The 'ankle leather' looked like it had some residual chemical (like subtle shiny flakes or scales) from whatever process they might have used to 'age' the leather - not noticeable enough to ruin look, but odd. I've seen other Frye boots with similar 'aged' leather that looked and felt great, but I didn't like the leather around the ankle of these boots. Rest of boot leather was fine. Fit: my feet run wide and I have a high arch (instep). I can wear size 7 Frye very comfortably, but this style seems to run narrow and way tight around the instep even with the lacing; my foot felt choked. The length was fine but I'm returning them. Love Frye boots though.

Love these boots! I've been looking for vintage, warn looking boots that are great quality and happy to have found them here. These boots do run small. I usually wear a 6.5 and I couldn't even squeeze my feet into them. I exchanged them for a 7.5 and that fit just fine. I have yet to wear them and break them in to comment further.

A very nice shoe, however, I returned it because it didn't really go with my quasi-preppy wardrobe. In other words, these shoes were too cool for me. They were, however, flattering and reasonably comfortable, although quite heavy.
