Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Short

Most uncomfortable boots I've ever had on.Stiff, hurt my heels, dragged my socks down. Had blisters in 5 minutes of wearing.

Fuming mad! Okay, so let me preface this by saying that I love Frye boots. I have two other pairs that are truly amazing so I didn't think twice about the quality of this boot. However, this boot is cheaply made. I was unemployed for the best part of this year but my treat/reward when I did get a job was to buy myself these gorgeous boots. Fast forward to new job! Woo hoo, time for boots. I had these babies in my Zappos cart for months, so bam! Ordered...totally excited. I received my boots and they were so pretty. Now, after a mere five wearings they look bad. Mind you I am not a rough and tumble hiker or poop-kicker - just an average office gal. I bought the dark brown and they appear to have some cheap leather veneer that literally tears or chips when scuffed or slightly stressed. So, now I have a big white chip on the back of one heel and numerous white scuffs on my toe. Normally I'd write it off, get a little polish out, and move along but any boot that costs this much and looks bad after five mellow wearings really chaps my hide. No pun intended. Bottom line: These are incredibly comfortable, cute but terribly made.

Instant comfort, and Indeed, it runs small!

The boot is fantastic and the heel is separate from the sole

Good fit. Once you get use to the weight of these they are comfortable. I bet they will last forever. Love me some Frye's

Very beautiful and comfortable boot. Runs quite narrow, I imagine the leather will stretch out over time and it will fit nicely. I have another pair of Veronica boots in the same size, and they are much wider.

Love these boots! Contemplating the brown too

A little too much slouchy with the respect to the picture but they are very nice and fit really well. They make my socks go down sometimes but I still have to break them in completely.

Very comfortable and good-looking boots. I've had these for over five years. If you're going to spend a few hundred bucks on boots, they better last. Frye boots do. You can wear them to the barn, the office, and the bar.

Ok, glad I read the reviews about these or I would have sent them back, even though I loved them. I'm a true size 7 but these fit so weird at first. Toe box felt snug but heel kept lifting up in the back. I figured "well that's just a set of blisters waiting to happen so no go" but, as one reviewer pointed out (thanks!), these need a breaking in period. Since they are slip on/off the heel is looser at first, but conforms to your ankle as you wear them. I didn't get blisters, or anything, they just stopped slipping. Gorgeous slouchy look--I wear them with everything. Even the *guys* at the tattoo shop approve, so the bada** factor is on point. Get these!

I usually wear a 7 but the 7 ½ was a perfect fit. I have a bit of a wide foot and these fit with a thinner sock. I’m sure they will also stretch out a bit over time over time.

Comfortable. No break in period needed. Wore all day twice within first days of receiving them. Great for wide feet that usually hurt a lot!

This was a duplicate order my mistake.

Comfortable with room in the toe box.

I've basically worn out a pair of Frye's already (the Melissa Buttons, resoled twice), so I already love this brand. I've had my eyes on the Veronica Short for awhile and when they went on sale, I finally grabbed them. Just pulling them out of the box is a great experience: they look amazing and the leather is butter soft. They fit great in the toe box even with thicker socks for winter, and there's expected heel slippage but I expect to wear them in quickly. So, so happy I finally got these!

Surprisingly comfortable right out of the box

They are a little snug but most leather boots take a few wears to break in. I love the boots and get tons of compliments.

When I first received these boots, I had to exchange them for a different pair because the leather was completely different between the left boot and the right boot. One boot was super soft, wrinkly and slouchy and the other boot was stiffer and smooth. It looked like I had a mismatched pair, but now I’m wondering if it was just the variation in the natural leather. Zappos was great at immediately sending me a replacement pair. My replacement pair is perfect. At first my heel slipped a little but it seems the more I wear them the less it slips. Now they feel molded to my feet. They are getting more and more comfortable with each wear and they are so cute. I can wear them with everything. I originally bought them because have been wearing a pair of black Veronica combat boots for the past 7-8 years as my go-to boots and I was ready for a different style. These are more versatile and look less tough. These boots are perfect.
