This is my 2nd time writing a review for these gorgeous boots since I'm constantly getting such nice compliments. I have the brown pair and if I'm not approached, I get the "stares" towards my boots. So I'm coming back for the black pair as well. The size 7 is perfect with the 15 1/2 circumference and fits just right.

These are truly wide calf boots! I have 16" calves and have had a really hard time finding boots that fit. These do take some breaking in but not much. I have wide feet and it has taken about a week to break in the width. I do feel like the price is a little high and the quality is probably not as good as Frye boots, even still I am very happy with mine.

Comfortable & stylish. Classic black boot. The style, to me, is a cross between motorcycle & riding boot that will stand the test of time. A little tough to get on, but soften with wear. Popular now, but I'm sure I'll be wearing these boots for decades.

I am in love! I was heriditary-gifted large calves and cankles. I have alot of trouble finding boots that fit my calves, let alone zip up past my ankles (a double insult). These boots slipped on perfectly, plenty of ankle room and a (gasp) gap at the calves! And not only do they fit, they don't make my legs looks like they are stuffed in and wide. I even have room for skinny jeans!! I couldn't be happier with these boots (and now have dreams of other colors!). Also, a big thank you to Zappos who made it possible to find them ..the best selection, the helpful reviews, the quick shipping to satisfy both my immediate need to try on as well as avoiding embarrassment in front of countless shoe salespeople ... And the easy returns when my dreams of the perfect boot were continually dashed. Thank you, thank you. I'm keeping these!

I ordered these boots as sort of an after-thought while purchasing another pair of Frye boots that I had wanted. After receiving both, I actually like these ones better. The are extremely comfortable and you can either wear the calf tighter or looser if you need the extra room. Additionally, I called the Zappos helpline because I wanted to make sure someone had to sign for the shoes when they were delivered. Not only was this done, I got upgraded to next-day shipping! I love these boots and purchasing from Zappos all around.

If you're one of those women who can never, and I mean never, find boots that fit your calves (regular boots are too narrow and "wide calf" boots are huge), these are absolutely the boots for you. I'm still breaking them in so they rub a little with socks that are too thick or too thin, but they're very comfy, perfect to wear in the moderately cold weather, and stylish â?? I got three compliments the first day I wore them!
I was hesitant at first because they're so expensive â?? I've never bought shoes that cost so much before â?? but actually owning a pair of almost knee high boots that fit, are comfortable, and look good was worth the price.

I am in love. I have ogled the boots that girls with thin legs have been sporting for the past, what, 10 years? I am a stylish gal, but I have got some chunky legs (I get them from my grandmother, thanks so much). I was hesitant to purchase these at the price, but I somehow miraculously found a pair of boots from one of them big box places a few years ago that I wore completely through. I figured, if I could wear these as much as I wore those, my cost per use would be worth the upfront cost. So I took the plunge and my oh my, I feel like I can take on the world. They are still a little tight if I was to wear jeans tucked into them, but with leggings or tights, no problem. Ladies, if you have not had boots that fit before, these are your solution. Give them a try, you will not regret it. The first day I wore them, I walked to a party that was a mile away. Bad idea on my part as Fryes always have a bit of a break in period, but since those initial blisters have healed up, they have just been a delight.

Gorgeous and fits my 17.5" calf. The leather is thinner than boots like the engineer or harness, but that didn't bother me seeing how perfect they are in every other way. Low heel still looks hot. Brown is a nice color, muted with slight distress but still classy. More colors, please.

These boots are amazing. There's a little part on one heel that rubs but overall the extended calf fits so well and still looks slouchy and cool. I would buy these over and over!

Ah, OMG! That's right, ladies. These are the first words that came out of my mouth. I received these boots today after exchanging the Sabrina for it. First of all, Zappos exchange policy is the best...ever. I made the exchange Tuesday night (close to midnight in CA) on 10/30/12,and I got the new pair this morning, 11/1/12. Anyway, like I said I shrieked, in happiness after trying these boots on. I have at least a 15 1/2-16 calves and in size 6 1/2 or 7. These boots fit perfectly! The description for the size 7 is right on the money. They fit perfectly around the widest part of my calf and looks great with leggings. The best boots ever from Frye. I just hope Frye comes up with more styles to choose from since this style in wide calf is the only one from Zappos at the moment. For now, I am one happy camper.

I just received these in the mail today. I LOVE these boots! Ladies, if you are struggling to find tall boots that fit athletic calves, look no further. I ordered the cognac in the regular width, and found that while I could get them on, there was no slouch. I returned them the next day and ordered the wide calf in the dark brown. The boots are a gorgeous dark brown with some slight variations in color, adding to their rich look. My only wish is that there were other colors to choose from in the wide calf style besides brown and black. I find they run very true to size. I wear a size 7 in all shoes and boots, and a 7 1/2 in athletic shoes. I ordered these in a 7 and very glad I did not go up a half size. If the cost is deterring you, get over it. These boots are well worth the money and the quality is readily apparent.

To my dismay these boots actually did fit my 17" calf. Incredible because I have returned about 6 pairs of other brands that didn't fit at all. These are gorgeous boots. Even though the leather is soft I think they are well made and will last with minor upkeep. The foot bed is very comfortable. It's a versatile look, highly recommended. I came right back for the other color! I hope Frye widens their line of wide calf boots. Gorgeous!

Finally! A boot that fits my calves properly! These boots are wonderful. The leather is so soft, I just want to keep touching it. These definitely live up to their name, the quality is worth every penny. I was worried about these fitting, as I have about a 17.5" calf. These fit with room to spare. I've been wearing them with tights, but I think even a pair of skinny jeans would fit with no problem. Keep in mind as others have said that the bigger your shoe size the bigger the calf circumference will be, I wear a size 11 so I'm sure the calf size of my boot is bigger than a smaller footed lady. I usually don't spend over $100 for shoes, but I am so glad I bought my Veronicas, no buyer's remorse here.

Just got these boots today so can't speak to durability, but they are beautiful and I already love them! I'm a size 9 (occasionally 8.5 in flats) with 17" calves so finding quality boots that fit has been a nightmare. I've been dreaming of Frye boots for years but given the price I was never willing to take the risk. The reviews for the Veronica slouch wide calf finally gave me hope, so I pulled the trigger. So glad I did! Bought these in my usual 9 and they fit perfectly in foot and calf. I was a little worried they would be too short, and they aren't really knee high, but I'm only 5'4" so this is not a problem. Planning to love them for years to come.

I have 16.5 inch calves and have been looking for tall boots that fit around them for years. These are great -- I can even fit jeans inside them. I am typically a 9.5 and a pretty wide foot, and although I have a size 10 in the Frye Harness boot, these have a wider toe box and the 9.5 fits perfectly. Very comfortable!

I ordered the wide calf veronica slouch in 7 and a 7.5. the shaft was plenty wide for my 16.5" calves but the toe box was not wide enough for my 6.5 EE foot. Sadly they went back. they truly are a fantastic boot with exceptional quality. Hopefully Frye will come out with a true wide footbed and wide calf.

Absolutely love these boots. An excellent addition to my fall boot collection. The wide calf feature works great on these hams of mine. It allows for the skinny jeans and leggings to fit perfectly. Great job Frye!

Love this boot! You can just feel the quality when you pull it out of the box! So nice to be able to find a boot with an extended calf! I wish more boot styles would allow for a larger calf. For once I can wear all the fall styles I love but haven't been able to wear due to boots that don't fit! Did extensive walking in them last weekend and only had minor rubbing on one part of the back of my leg. My fault though, I was only wearing ankle socks. Had I worn a longer sock there would have been no problem. Go with your true shoe size, anything else will either be too big or small. Thank you Frye for making these great boots!

Love is in the air, every time I look down! These are everything everyone said they were! Shockingly expensive for me, but worth it. Had to get a half size smaller. The 9 was top big in the heel. Fit my chubby calves and don't look weird!

Absolutely love! I used to be a ballet dancer & soccer player so my calf muscles are a little larger and most boots don't fit right...these, however, are great! Comfortable too!

Got the boot's and I love them. I have muscular calves they measure between 16 to 17". Finally I have found a pair of Frye boot's that actually fit like they said they would. will be able to tuck leggings, jeans in without a problem. Color is awesome will look even better when they've been beat up a bit.

These boots are great! I got these for the slouch look and they are awesome. I own them in both black and brown, and I think it was a great investment. I do wish they were maybe an inch taller but I love them too much to keep worrying about that! If you are thinking about buying these, just do it! You won't regret it!
