Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Short

These boots are beautiful. Needs a bit of breaking in, are a tad bit narrow, but otherwise pretty comfortable. My only complaint is that the dye comes off completely with any scrape or nick. For the price of this boot, the dye should have more "depth".

I love these boots. They are more comfortable than I found the engineer style to be. They are certainly easier to get my foot into. They look great with pants or skirts. Best of all they are very well made and will likely last years.

I'm so sad I have to return these boots! I have a very high arch, but even so, these boots run at least a half if not a full size too small. I was able to get my feet into the boots but they were rubbing very hard on my heels and I was barefoot. I can't imagine trying them on with socks, so back they go and I may even have to go to a local shoe store to determine my exact size in Frye boots before I reorder from Zappos. I really like the dark brown leather and it's so soft and supple, but now I'm reconsidering that maybe the black would fit in better with my wardrobe. Decisions, decisions!

Love these boots! Glad I did not order a size up. I usually were a 8.5 and the 8.5 fit perfectly, I have skinny feet and these would have been way to big in a 9. They are kind of big in the heel but if you wear socks, that will remedy the problem.

The boot - for the most part - met my expectation: rugged, trendy and yet feminine. It is well made - with nice leather and a good sole. However, I found the boot to be big in the calf, so it hung a bit loose around the calf and ankle. I took it into the shoe cobbler and had extra holes on the buckle added to tighten the ankle area. I ordered a size 8. I am typically a true size 8 and thought they ran large. They are comfortable and look great with skirts or jeans tucked into them.

I'm an 8.5 with a low instep and narrow foot, so I ordered the Brown in 8 and the Taupe in 8.5 (my preferred color but they don't have the 8 in stock). The Taupe looks like a more expensive boot (like Fiorentini+Baker), while the brown has some interesting reddish accents that I'm not fond of. As for sizing, the 8.5 almost flew off my foot when I took a step. Meanwhile the 8 felt more secure, but a bit narrow - something that I think can easily be remedied with some stretching at a shoe repair shop. I ended up returning both and ordering the Black, which was the only other color in my size.

These boots were a little roomier for me, and the heel kept pulling out. It was also painful for the first few days of wearing! I have flat feet though, so even though it fit at first, when you walk on them for a long time, they kept slipping off. It's a good thing that this stopped happening after a few days, although I needed to add orthotics to tighten the fit. The color is almost black, so that makes it versatile with different kinds of jeans. It is sturdy, and is a totally different style for me, also looks good when I slip my jeans inside it, so I guess it's worth all the hassle.

Alright. I was so so so excited for these! Though I expected way too much because of the price. It fits pretty true to size. Though, I have very high arches and these were the first pull on boots I didn't have to get stretched prior to me being able to pull them on. So maybe to people with flat feet or normal arches these might be a bit too loose in that area. Also the heel slips a bit too much. It's not really a size issue, the heel is shaped too flat and wide; most boots heels are cupped a little to accommodate the heel. The boots fit perfectly, but the heel still slips! Annoying and painful. Maybe if I wear some socks it will tighten it up back there. The insole is two parts. When I pull my foot out one of the halves peel back. The glue seems to not be holding well. I expected something like this to be taken care of in a boot at this price. The black is not the black in the photo, but rather faded. I hope putting leather conditioner on it will darken that up. To those with skinny legs, the opening is rather wide. I always thought my calves were rather muscular, but they were still swimming in these boots!
