Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Slouch

Like many Frye boots these are a bit tight, stiff at first. But having had them a couple of months now, they are feeling great. The leather on the shafts is so soft and supple.

Love these boots. I am between a 5 or 5.5 and the 5.5 fits perfect. I got the camel color and love it. I was a little worried about the color being too bright, but it is the exactly the color I was looking for. A great boot to wear all seasons.

These are great boots. They go with every color in the closet and they are very comfortable. If you are looking for boots that you can wear all day, you have found them.

These are the perfect boots hands down. They are comfortable (like running shoes) and they have the perfect amount of style without going overboard.

I am in love! I just received the Veronica Slouch in Camel today and love them! The color is gorgeous and they are very comfortable. To make sure the boots will feel good wearing to work, I've been wearing them around the house. No break-in necessary and they fit true to size. They are a little hard to pull on, but I've experienced this with other boots that have no zippers. This is not a problem for me. In addition to loving my new Veronica Slouch boots, I also want to express my gratitude for Zappos customer service. I had a question regarding my payment method and received great service from Brooks. Great company, gorgeous boots! Love Zappos!

Just love these boots! They actually fit better than any of my other Frye boots. I can easily see myself ordering this boot in other colors. (Down girl...)

I just received the Veronica slouch in brown and I love them. I got my normal sz 9 but found they run a little big. I'm good with that, room for thicker socks.Well made and truly beautiful. Well worth the money. My plan is to buy new Fryes every year. This is only my second pair! Yay!

In my opinion these run super small. I feel like my normal size (8.5) will eventually stretch out, but a 9 would be much more comfortable, even if they stretched a bit too. They fit well around my calves (15in) and I like that the calf is adjustable. The dark brown color is nice and will go with anything. I think they'll hold up well in the snow too but it would be good to have more room for socks!

Love these boots, but sizing was way off for me. I ordered my usual size based on reviews and my other Fryes but these fit a whole size larger. As soon as I opened the box I could tell something was off and checked the inner marking to ensure there wasn't a mixup with the boxes. Sure enough, they were marked 9. They easily slipped on but we're falling off my foot like clogs do. As a replacement, I ordered 8 and 8.5 just to be sure. The 8.5 felt better but my heel easily slipped out with every step. The 8 was tight to get on (I used the plastic bag over the foot trick) but fit perfect once they were on. As with all leather boots, these will soften up after a couple wears and will slip on easily. Amazing craftsmanship, gorgeous styling and just the right amount of slouch make these winners. I got the vintage brown and the color is warm and beautiful.

I have owned these for 6 years now and they are still in great shape! I just polished them up with the Frye waterproof dressing and they look new again. The quality and craftsmanship of these boots is worth every penny. My only complaint is that they are not super comfortable. I recently purchased the Veronica short and they are extremely comfortable, so it's possible they have made some improvements. The shortie has a padded footbed that makes all day wear no problem. Hopefully they have made these just as comfortable. Love these boots!

Love. Still breaking them in, which is actually quite painful. Blisters and such. But once that process is complete, I will be living in these for years to come. Top quality, great style.

I received these boots yesterday after trying and returning 3 pair since the holidays. I have one other pair of Frye boots that I really love, and wear at least twice a week. The craftmanship of this brand is amazing. My only complain about these is that the dark brown leather looks Cordovan, or Burgundy to me. I want brown distressed, and I am having trouble finding the exact color. So, these may have to go back as well, although I love the style. I think that I have found the style that I want, I just need to figure out the right color. One more thing about Frye. They seem to run about a half size small. I usually wear an 8, and cannot get an 8 on through the heel area. The 8 1/2 fits me perfectly.

After 3 years of wanting these boots, I finally ordered a pair, but still wondered if, when I had them in my hands, would they be worth the price tag. The long anticipated day came. I opened the box and that heavenly leather smell hit me. As I looked them over, I could tell these really are good quality boots. It took some pulling to get them on the first time and they felt a tad stiff, but several wears later, they go on easier and start to break in...but they were actually pretty comfortable right out of the box. Overall, I really like them. I wouldn't be opposed to buying another pair of Frye boots in the future.

I do not recommend the Chocolate Glazed Vintage color. I tried two pair of that color and the glaze cracks incredibly easily, with every bend of the shoe the color seems to chip away. The first pair I immediately shipped back due to excessive scratches without ever wearing and the second pair looked just like the first after one wear. Zappos was amazing and sent me a different color and allowed a return of these which I wore one time and was dissatisfied with. Bravo zappos, the best service I have ever received. The boot itself is amazing! I have the black calf shine vintage and I love them. They are a nice muted black with a dull smooth finish and almost appear dark charcoal. I wear them all the time. I went up a half size bc I have high arches and don't like the pressure on the top of my foot. Mine are roomy with socks. Durable and so cute with skinny jeans. Love!

Boots are very difficult to order online and I am glad for Zappos. I ordered 6 different boots before finding the right one. I finally kept the Veronica Slouch, Dark Brown Soft Vintage (size 6.5). I have athletic calves (15"), a bunion on one foot, longish toes, high arch and I am petite (5 ') so the shaft length has to be 14.5 or less. These boots actually fit! And the brown color is very nice. I hate real brown shoes...always get them and regret my decision. But this brown is interesting. The brown has a very slight red tone and the toe tips are slightly black. Sounds odd but it is really beautiful. When my other black boots are worn I will definitely look at Frye boots.

I spent over a year saving up for and salivating over these boots. I also spent that year carefully thinking about them, reading reviews, and finally, tried them on. Let me start with saying I bought these in the Black Soft Vintage Leather in a size 8 (my normal size). #1 Shaft Height: These, unless you are petite, will NOT go to the knee. I m 5 6 with long legs and they, slouched, hit just under the fullest part of my calf. I tried these on in congac and they cut off the visual line of the leg. I realized brown boots just look better if you buy a pair that come to the knee. So, I decided on black. #2 Toe Box and Size: Normally I would buy these in a 7.5. However, you have to feel where the toe box is. You can do this with your hand inside the boot. There is a stiff area and a distinct line where the fiberglass fabric that keeps the toe shape ends. That part of the boot will NOT ever stretch. The part that is leather beyond that line will. There was also a significant difference between the 7.5 and 8 that I tried on. The 7.5 felt like my toes were way too squished side to side. The 8 was a comfortable and not the ideal new-Frye boot feel (which should be a bit more snug). I went with the 8 for comfort. Also, be sure to try these boots on with thicker socks a general rule when trying on Western boots--which these technically are. #3 Leather Stiffness: There is a big difference between the regular leather options and the vintage leather. The soft vintage leather is buttery soft and slouches faster. This is the one I went for because it was just amazing. I needed it to puddle early because of my fuller calves. If you have skinny calves you may want a stiffer leather to hold itself up. #4 Calf Circumference: I have 14.75 calves. The regular boot with the circumference given should have had more room. They did NOT. I tried them on in an extended calf size and they had much more room (so the boots looked more like what a regular boot looks like on a woman with skinny calves). However, I felt like the visual proportion was wonky with a tiny foot and giant shaft circumference. Also, you d need the stiffer leather options to keep the look right. I opted to go with the regular boot and slouched it to a flattering point on the leg. I LOVE these boots. I plan to keep them forever. They are what I consider style makers. You put them on with any ho-hum outfit and the whole thing starts to have style. I wear them with EVERYTHING. Worth saving up for!

These are fantastic! I was nervous about ordering my first pair of Frye boots, but I'm glad I did! These do not disappoint. I ordered the color Dark Brown Soft Vintage, and it is a gorgeous dark brown color, perfect for fall/winter. My usual shoe size is a 7, so that's what I ordered, but after walking around the house a bit, I found that my heel was popping right out of these and my foot was sliding around. I exchanged for a 6.5 and they fit PERFECTLY. At first, I had to wiggle my heel to get it in to the boot, but after a few wears, the leather stretched to fit the shape of my foot! I was surprised. I usually wouldn't size down, but the 7 was really large on me. If you plan on wearing thick socks with these, I would order your usual size. We don't really get too cold where I live, so the 6.5 will work just fine for me. Overall, GORGEOUS boot, luxurious leather and perfect to dress up or dress down. I will be ordering a pair in black soon!

I've had these boots for many years. I bought them back when the style first came out. Frye suggested going up a 1/2 size. That was good advice. They took a bit to break in but once they did, perfection. These are the boots I take to Europe and other travels because I can walk in them endlessly with no problem. I get lots of compliments too. Just wanted you to know that you will love them for the long haul.

I finally caved and bought these in cognac. I have a hard time finding tall boots that look good on me because I am petite (5'3") with real skinny kind of bowed legs. These aren't very tall compared to the other tall boots out there, and got great reviews by other petites, so I gave it a shot. Truth be told, I was hoping to hate them since they are about twice the amount of money I would ever pay for a boot. Darn it, I love them. The cognac color is darker and not as coppery and distressed as the picture shows, but it is beautiful. They are not as comfortable out of the box as a Born boot, they seem more like real cowboy boots that mold to your feet after a lot of wear and become like a second skin. They hit my upper calf in a good spot, just high enough to show above the boot socks if I want, and the slight slouch at the ankle balances out my leg. I ordered my true size, 7.5, and had no problem getting them on and they seem true to size. I don't have high arches or anything. I tried them first with thin socks. There's enough room for wool socks too when it gets cold out. The quality of the leather on the cognac boots seems really good, and I will be using the leather protector on them to protect them from salt and water. These have a good leather sole, so they can be resoled when necessary, which is great! All in all, my wallet is very sad they are such great boots.

Love these boots. I've wanted them for quite some time and finally just went for it. They are well worth the money! Extremely comfortable and adorable!

I love these boots. I have owned my pair of Veronica Slouch boots for at least six years. I wear them at least four days a week at least eight months out of the year. They have held up so incredibly well I cannot believe it. They are definitely worth the investment. Every two years or so I get the heels resoled and I use a natural leather treatment to keep them looking great. I fully expect them to last me at least another ten years. My pair is on the slouchy end, which I quite like. However, I have a friend who purchased her Veronica's after I did and hers are much more upright and stiff so there might be some variation. Overall, I would highly recommend them.

I really wanted to like this boot but just couldn't do it. The make and style of the boot are great but the actual finish is what I couldn't get over. They would be great with some things but not everything. As far as comfort and structure Frye boots are well worth the money.

Love these boots! Ordered these in black because I loved the tan ones so much! They fit like you've worn them forever. Shipping was super fast too!

I ordered this boot in the "Calf Shine Vintage Black." If you're looking for a true black, this is not the color for you. This color was more like a coppery brownish black.
