Frye Veronica Slouch

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.

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).

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.

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!
