Beautiful boot. There's no mistaking that these boots are gorgeous. Beautiful craftsmanship, which makes the price tag easier to swallow. Frye boots are almost indestructible, for sure. I ended up going for the classic engineer instead of these, though. I thought the slimmer toe on these looked odd. Online they looked a bit more rugged. Now I'm ordering the engineer 12R, for the more rugged look. The Veronica was true to size, and 'slightly' tight to get into the boot, but felt awesome on.

Too clunky, poor design - I usually wear a size 8, but I read that Frye recommends going up a half size. I did that, and the boot was too large. It was also too stiff, with minimal arch support, and almost no padding on the insole. I must have slender calves because the shaft of the boot was also much too loose - even with the buckle strap to cinch it in. And speaking of buckle strap, the straps were only glued (not stitched) and one of the lower straps had already started to split apart. There was really nothing about this boot that tempted me to try the smaller size.

Great classic boot - If you know you don't want a tailored cushy boot, but you want a classic boot that will last for years instead, these boots are for you! the fit is slightly loose in the calves, they don't have a ton of padding but have the typical Frye quality. Very high quality leather that may be stiff at first but will break in with time, extremely well-made outer and inner-sole. I totally agree with the other reviewer that these boots are ageless and will go with just about anything, skirts, dresses, leggings, pants. I love them and wear them all the time. The heel is a bit loose on me so I wear socks. They are getting better and better each time I wear them. I got them in my normal boot size (which is a half size larger than sandals or pumps for me.)

A little pricey but still a good buy - This is a nice looking boot but as a previous review said the heel tends to be a bit loose and made my heels raw on the first wearing. A slightly thicker sock seems to solve the problem and makes the shoe quite comfortable. Well constructed and great styling makes it a solid 4 stars.

Nice boots - I just got these boots today. They are really nice. They seem true to size, but the heel slips. I'm wearing them with heavier socks just to break them in. Hopefully in a few days they will fit like a glove. I love them!!! P.S. If you have wide feet, these may not be the boots for you. Hope this helps.

Basic Black - My kids wear uniforms to school and this year are aloud to wear gymshoes as long as they are plan black or white. These shoes are perfect. Not only do they come in wide sizes the inside material also lets your feet breath. They even don't look half bad with the uniform either. I will be buying the same shoe again for my son when he out grows the ones hes in now.

Same shoe - Purchase this shoe in 2/04. Grandson(age 6) didn't wear until after Easter. Shoe busted at both big toe. Ordered same shoe, same size but price increase from $39.95 to $43.95

Fantastic shoes in wide size - I bought these shoes for my fifth grade son because of the wide size but the looks and quality are fantastic.

A good shoe and good price. Stride Rite shoe is a good shoe for an active toddler!

Great Boy's all round shoe - The extra width is a great help for my son and they fit him very well -- they are true to size -- we are very happy with them. He wears them to school and to church.
