Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Combat

I love these boots! I would recommend getting them professionally stretched before wearing them. It will improve comfort immediately for wearing all day

Following advice in many reviews, I purchased a half size larger than usual, and they fit fine. I"ve not worn Frye in a long (!) time, and am pleased with the quality and comfort of these silver (!) combat boots. The leather, reasonably soft, is becoming more supple with each wear; the rubberized bits of the sole will, no doubt, extend the life of the sole. These are a great workhorse of an urban boot, and will be easy to coordinate with casual outfits.

I already knew about the excellent quality of Frye boots which is one reason for my purchase. I read the reviews and had to laugh at comments about the break-in. Yes, there is a break-in period; No, it is not like breaking in actual combat boots (been there, done that, it takes weeks); Yes, the leather is stiff (these are made in Mexico with quality leather). I was surprised at how well these boots fit my small, narrow feet - I got a 5.5 and have been wearing them with medium weight sock. Yes, they DO run narrow - I doubt that any size of these would fit wide feet. I got the grey (don't need black combat boots - I have some US issue boots) and they are just beautiful! They are a silvery grey distressed leather and it will be interesting to see how they age. I wear black, purple, and grey a lot and these will look great with my wardrobe colors. I except to wear these boots for years to come.

I have wide toebox and narrow heels. These were way too narrow in the toes.

Sizing is off. Feels very tight and narrow. I should have gone up a size.

I love them!!!!

I usually wear a 6.5 in shoes but in boots i size up to 7.5 so that i can wear thicker socks. I purchased a 7 as recommended but it fit just right. I should have ordered a 7.5 . Otherwise It's a gorgeous, well made boot.

I love these shoes and I am gonna wear them indoors for a day to see how they do. I usually wear an 8 M in almost every brand. My feet are on the narrow side of medium. I got a 9 based on recommendations and was surprised the 9 feels almost too short and too narrow with my everyday wool socks. I don’t want to have to wear thin dress socks with combat boots. I’m hoping the lovely boots give a bit with a bit of wear because I think a 10 would def be too large. Just wanted to let others know even going a full size up these boots still fit tIghtly. (I wear a size 8 in the Frye harness boots and the Frye Natalie engineer boots, so go figure) If they had half sizes I would go up to 9 1/2 for these. Lovely leather looks and feel, but the leather laces kind of undermine the ‘combat’ style, overall these are a bit sleeker than what I hoped for in a rugged combat style boot.

After reading the reviews, I went up half a size. They fit great, however, you have to undo the laces to get them on. The opening is tiny. If you don't have the patience to sit down and put them on, these are not the boots for you. Otherwise, they are very nice boots. A little pricey, but that's the brand.

These boots, Veronica Combat, are substantial and gorgeous! I ordered the “silver” when I meant to order the gray. They are just to-die-for beautiful. Placed an order for the gray so I can compare the two leathers. The light sole of the silver might make them the winner...will see when the other pair arrives. I want to be able to wear these to work with leggings and am not sure if the silver is a deal-breaker in that regard. The sizing is SPOT ON. I have three pairs of tall Frye boots and wear the same size in these as the others I have; Frye’s sizing is consistent. You need to unlace the boots half way down to properly insert your foot - that’s the nature of this style of boot. The Veronica Combat will feel stiff at first which is not uncomfortable, they just need to be broken in. The stiffness, in my opinion, is the sign of well-made leather boots. This style is definitely a keeper whichever color you choose!

Perfect! My new favorite boots!!! They go with everything?

Wonderful leather and construction. Tried several colors and because I went up a half size it was tricky not to have them look too long with my slim legs. Settled on the gray.
