Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Slouch

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.

I love these boots! I had to put a plastic bag on my foot to get in the first 1-2 times. It is still a chore to get my foot in, especially with socks on. I normally don't fit into boots because I have a wide calf (especially the middle of my calf) but these actually fit me! They are very comfortable and the leather is so soft.

Sweet leathery satisfaction. I've been craving these boots for many moons and for x-mas this year my dad finally agreed that these were a choice investment as far as foot coverings go. I've gone through 5 pairs of inexpensive boots since last x-mas but at around this price a pair that adds up, that money is clearly better put towards some quality boots that will last for years! My feet pretty consistently require a size 7.5, (I almost asked for a size 8 because I have a high instep (which can be a big issue with leather boots) and semi-wide feet). Knowing that nice leather will allow some give over time as it relaxes, I decided to trust the majority which said they fit true to size, and asked for the 7.5, they're sublime! My mom wears the same size and she wants a pair now, though I think they're comfy as is, she has arch problems but we've determined there's more than enough room to slip some arch support in there. I've been wearing them every day since I got them and haven't experienced any blisters or discomfort which I thought was characteristic of the NEW, breaking in the leather Boot Experience, apparently not the case when the boots in question are such high quality. The back of the heel, right where you would normally get those crippling blisters, is supportive but isn't stiff like it is on most leather boots, in fact the whole upper leather isn't as stiff/thick as I imagined and I'm glad. I've worn these with ultra casual running tights/leggings and cozy sweaters, with more put together skinny jeans and a nice jacket, and with a really nice dress and tights, they're so versatile, they look awesome with everything. You won't regret this investment! also the heel produces a beyond satisfying click on hard surfaces. Make good choices, buy Frye boots.

I have been wanting these boots for a long time and decided to get for myself for Christmas. I am very happy with them and the style is just what I wanted. I originally ordered a 9 in black and I always wear a 9, but they were too loose. Ordered an 8.5 and they fit fine. Was worried my toes would hit the front, but they didn't to my surprise. Will fit the best with medium weight socks (not thick or thin). The only thing I would want different is to have a full rubber lug sole for better traction. Thanks Zappos.

These are perhaps the best shoe investment I've made in a long time. These will not go out of style, and they only look better with age. Fits true to size and easy to romp around town in them feeling like a million bucks! Well worth it! I got them in slate and vintage chocolate. I think I'll go for the black next to replace the engineer boots I already have. Perfect!

These are great boots. I wore them for the first time (call me crazy) visiting a new city and did lots of walking. They are very comfortable, stylish and well-made. I did not get any blisters nor sore feet. I love them. I am hoping that they last a very long time!

Absolutely love. These boots were super tough to get on right out of the box, but that's good news to me. I took them on and off a few times the first night out, and they became increasingly more fitted to my foot. I wore heels all day before I went out in these, and my feet were soothed by the end of the night. So comfy and so cute.

Great boot, leather on the calf was a little grainy and rough, the foot was smooth, but that's just the nature of leather. I've grown to like the texture. Great with skinny jeans, skirts, tons of compliments. This is my 3rd pair of Frye and will buy more?

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.

I bought the black/brown Frye Veronica Slouch boot from a friend's recommendation and a lot of comparison shopping. The quality cannot be beat: the leather feels buttery and supple, the seams are strong, and the boot feels solid. I wear them almost every day and I receive compliments from strangers each time. I wear them for 12 hours without any foot trouble, they are so comfortable. My only struggle is to pull them off, but I expect that from a pull-on boot. Overall, they fit true to size for me. They were snug at first, but loosened nicely after about a week. I used the Frye conditioning cream to prepare them for winter and they look even better than new. These boots are more expensive than what I've ever paid for shoes before, but they are so worth it. I know that I will keep them for years.

I bought a pair of these last January, and they are my favorite pair of shoes I have ever owned. I wear them with skirts, with jeans, with dresses... They took about 2 days to break in, and did give me a blister or two in those two days. They fit true to size (I am an 8 1/2, with wide-ish feet). Best purchase ever.

Every time I wear these I get a compliment, they are really comfortable, look great with leggings, skinny jeans and skirts...really everything. The color is a perfect distressed brown and the leather is so soft.

Just rec'd them and put them right back out in the mail for return. They run small. I always wear an 8.5 these were tight with thin socks on. They also hit the unflattering part of your calf area of your leg. Just not cute for that price.

I really like these boots. They are gorgeous on, and I get lots of compliments. However, they vary a lot by individual boot. The pair I received from Zappos was slightly defected. The stitching that goes around the visible (top facing) sole of the boot - which is decorative only and is a bit jacked up on my pair. The stitching goes off to the side, and the sole in general is a bit jacked up. I liked the rest of the boot, though, and they fit well, so I didn't want to give them up. I took them to a department store to ask if they thought I should return, and the guy said they were definitely slightly damaged. I tried on other pairs there, and there were none I liked better, due to leather coloring and nuances. So, I think I am keeping these boots. I still have the box sitting here and have not yet worn them outside. For this price I think they should be perfect, but maybe I am being perfectionistic? Either way, gorgeous boot, just be aware that they vary individually.

Basically love these boots. Although the finish is less polished than the picture indicates. Really like the rougher finish better actually. I have med - thin legs and so there's some extra room at the calf, but still the boots look very cool. Almost like Christopher Robin in Winnie the Pooh! Fit: I'm usually an eight but have sort of wide-ish feet and wondered if I might have gotten an 8.5... but anyhow, they're actually pretty good for hoofing a few miles around Brooklyn too. One thing I noticed - one boot was made of a slightly crinklier, slouchier leather, which I didn't notice at first... something to look for.

If you haven't even purchased a 'real' leather boot before, please read... Fryes are made to last a life time. The Veronica Slouch is no exception. Order your normal size. I usually wear a six so I ordered a six. Put on a short or ankle height sock of medium thickness. I like to use my running socks. Sit down. Unpack your boots. Smell them. If you are like me, say, "Ooooh. Aaaah." a few times. Then put them on. When you first put them on, you WILL think that they are WAY too small. You will struggle and possibly break a sweat getting this boot on your foot. Pull the shaft up straight and stomp your way in. Make sure you have enough lenth in front of your toe...I have about 3/4 of an inch. Walk around long enough to make sure your heel doesn't rub badly. Your boots will break in after a bit of wear...I usually wear mine 24/7 for a few weeks until they feel like old friends. If your leather boots are loose when you get them or fit perfectly out the box, know they are going to stretch and mold to your foot and may or may not be too big or start rubbing as they do. A boot that feels a bit tight to get on in the ankle area and a little stiff on is going to relax into a great fit. Ok, I ordered the Cognac Stone Wash and the distressed dark brown. I have to say they are both amazingly gorgeous boots of two different flavors. I'm keeping the cognac. I'd keep both if my wallet allowed. The cognac is perfectly distressed on the outside...they look like you've inherited them from your John Wayne grandfather, but better. The dark brown is a beautiful full-grain leather with minor reddish-toned variations. They are much dressier and polished. A final note...I have very athletic calves. The regular Veronica slouch might not fit you like you expect if you have legs like me. My naked calves measure about 15 inches around at their widest so the Veronica doesn't do much slouching. I certainly can fit my skinny jeans or leggings in there but there isn't room to spare. I'm hoping down the road to either get the shaft stretched by a cobbler or broken in enough so that I can wear thick socks over my skinny jeans with the boots. If you like the way these look, order them. I know everyone says that, but they are timeless and soft and amazing!

This is a beautiful boot! Comfortable, nice looking, very soft leather, fits well (I ordered 1/2 size bigger than my usual size). This particular style (the stonewashed look) is a bit more casual than I am looking for, so I am exchanging these for the dark brown Veronica Slouch boots. I can't wait to get them, because these felt awesome on!
