I bought these boots a little over a year ago, and I still love them and wear them every chance I get. I'm a 6.5-7, and got the 6.5 upon advice from the Nordstrom associate. They felt pretty snug at first and I could only wear very thin socks, and for the first month I toyed with the idea of exchanging them for the 7's. The snugness was more in the narrowness of the toe bed, but not the length. I'm glad I didn't exchange them though, because they definitely stretched out just like the high quality Frye leather is known to do, and now they fit so perfectly. I can also wear thicker socks now if I want to. The footbed never really felt padded, however, and although I never ever get blisters, my feet can get a bit tired after wearing these all day. I still adore them however, and would purchase them again in a heartbeat.

Love these boots! I ordered them in my regular size and had to return them because they were too tight. I got them a half size larger and they were perfect. These boots are expensive but worth the money (so far). Love the dark brown color. Other boots did not fit my calves (too loose). These were perfect.

Get these! I love Frye boots. I have 5 pairs of Frye boots. I was looking this year for a great pair of brown boots and tried several brands...since I already had these in black I finally returned (yet again) my other purchases from Zappos this pair. I am so glad I did. They are beautiful. Slip them on with a plastic produce bag if you have a hard time getting them on the first time...after that you won't have a problem. Save yourself the time and just get Frye boots. Thank you Zappos for your great customer service.

These boots were a total impulse buy. Never owned a pair of boots (except for wellies) in my life, but all of a sudden decided I needed brown riding boots. These do not disappoint! They are awesome, straight out of the box. No breaking in required. I am usually a 6.5 in everything, but they didn't have my size in stock, so I ordered a 7. Wearing them with thin socks, I have just the right amount of wiggle room for my toes, so I think it was a good thing I sized up. They are not too heavy, which was a fear I had about boots in general. I bet I could walk in these things all day if I had to. I have thick calves, but they fit just fine. They are price-y, but worth every penny! Must give kudos to Zappos for their amazing customer service. I ordered them late Monday night, they were on my doorstep Wednesday!

Love these boots! The leather is supple and they have a great coloration to them! I have no doubt these boots are going to last! I have a hard time finding boots that look good on me since I'm 5'2 and have a short leg. Most boots hit me too high, these don't; however, they would look good on a longer leg as well. I'm considering the black now!

These boots are da bomb! Only thing is, they are much softer than I anticipated, so I worry about the longevity of them. For the price, I would hope I can get several good years out of them. They look great with skinny jeans. I wore them to work the other day and someone told me I looked like biker chick, cool! They smell awesome too! No more stinky closet smell, just yummy leather goodness. My only complaint is that the left inside sole bed is coming up. I'm sending them back for another pair. Get a pair, you will love them, but if you are hard up for cash, pass.

The reviews for the Veronica Slouch boots speak for themselves. I was stalking these boots for a long time and finally broke down and bought them! Very comfortable right out of the box! I don't like slouchy boots and these are really not very slouchy, just a bit. Dress them up or down. I have to say, I have noticed many women stalking my boots! Just get them already- so worth the money!

I thought I would add a review here from the perspective of someone who has owned these boots for two years. They are wonderful, amazing, so comfortable. I have walked miles and miles in these, probably every day for the past two winters, more or less. They have held up really well. The only problem for me now is that the leather has relaxed so much in the ankle that now they are very slouchy, and I do not know if anything can be done. I have big calves to begin with, which is why I chose these boots. Now I am at the last hole on the top buckle, and they still slide down within minutes. It is not the calf circumference, it is that the ankle is not supporting the upper part of the boot. This is not a complaint as the boots have served me well, I just do not like the super slouchy look, like puddles of leather around my ankle. This is a recent issue, so I would say that it took a solid two years of heavy wearing for this to happen. I hope this is helpful info. Also, Fryes are consistently half a size large for me (I own four pairs, all 7½, while I am an 8 in all other shoes).

These boots are fantastic! However, I do have 2 problems with them at the moment. 1) my heels are rubbing against the back, not because they are too small but I just may need to wear thicker socks to break them in. 2) the leather sole on the inside is peeling up a little bit, I noticed when I was taking off one of the boots (this could be because my feet get a little sweaty). However, I can always use super glue to make them stick again. I thought about getting them replaced but I am sure this would happen again. I wish the leather sole was 1 whole piece and not 2 so this would not happen to a pair of boots at this price. Nevertheless, these boots are beautiful, great quality, rich leather, durable, and get more comfortable each day you wear them. I was a little skeptical about spending this much for a pair of boots and was considering ordering them elsewhere for a better price...yet, Zappos has amazing customer service and I trust them and they also do not add on tax to these boots. If you are thinking about getting them like I was, just do it, you will be glad you did.

Fabulous boot -- everything about it. It looks much nicer in person than online. The shaft circumference is neither too large nor too small, and is nicely shaped; the ankle fits comfortably against the foot; the shape of the toe is refined; there is good arch support; and the heel height is perfect. Really, I can't think of one thing I don't like about this boot. If I had the funds, I'd purchase more than one pair.

I love these boots. I'd gone back and forth about whether to get them for a year (since they were so pricey). However, I will be wearing these boots for years to come, so it was worth the money! These boots are comfortable from the moment you put them on. They don't have to be broken in like some other styles of Frye boots. You will not be sorry if you buy these boots!

Wonderful, sturdy, casual boot. Really well made. Looks great over skinny jeans or under boot cut.

I bought these for my wife for Christmas this year. Based upon other reviews regarding sizing, I bought a 7, which is what my wife usually wears. When she first tried them on, she could only get on the right boot. Again, based upon other reviews, I figured they just needed a little loosening up. I simply put my fist inside the boot and stretched out the leather a little bit. After that, she was able to slip on the left boot as well. She started out by just wearing them in the house a couple of hours at a time. After they had stretched out a bit, she wore them to work one day. She works in retail sales and is on her feet all day. At the end of the day, she said her feet did not hurt and that the boots are as comfortable as any she has ever worn. As for looks, the boots speak for themselves. It is kind of hard to go wrong with Fryes. I have a pair of Frye harness boots that I have had for 10 years. Frye makes high quality boots that just seem to get better with age. It is kind of like your favorite old flannel shirt and faded Levi's.

Have the same boots in smooth brown; so comfortable had to have them in black too. Pricey...but value for the price makes them a good buy.

I just received these boots in the mail yesterday. I am in love! These are my fourth pair of boots I've purchased this fall/winter, and will not be my last. I tried these on at my local Nordstrom's store and they were amazing! The leather is incredibly soft and you can tell that this is high quality. I was a little hesitant due to the high price point, but splurged anyways. Out of all my boots so far, these fit the best in the leg shaft. I am about 5'5 and have super skinny legs. My other boots always leave a gap on the sides-it looks ok, but obviously I would prefer no space. These do NOT leave a gap! They look perfect on. I ended up buying the black pair since I have two browns already. I wasn't crazy about the black color thinking that it would look too biker-ish. But that is not the case. Even my husband liked the boot and he is very picky. If you are on the fence about these boots, buy it. They are so worth it and I'm sure you will love them as much as I do. Now I'm looking to buy the Veronica Slouch in short. Thanks, Zappos, you are great as always!

My husband knows how to say Merry Christmas! Love him and these boots! I wear a 6 - these are 6.5 and perfect with normal socks, I cannot wear my thin instep orthotics because the toe box is tight with the extra layer - moderate support otherwise. They're beautiful. Quality look. Substantial and sturdy. I feel great wearing these. So many boots this season - but only these will do.

These boots are fabulous. I love them. They fit great size-wise, although like with a lot of my Frye boots the heel slips a bit so I need to wear thicker socks. They're a bit snug out of the box in the top-of-toe area but I can see that will loosen up with wear. My boots aren't very slouchy just yet. I'm hoping that changes as well, but if not, they're still super cool. This is my sixth pair of Fryes and just as awesome as all the others I have. Great quality.

I absolutely love these boots! They are gorgeous, versatile and amazingly comfortable. I ordered a 1/2 size larger, but after wearing them a bit, I now think I should have stayed with my true size. As always, Zappos' customer service is superb.
