Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Back Zip

These boots are gorgeous! Very high quality construction, beautiful rich color leather, fits true to size. I have big calfs and these fit perfectly. Give these some time to break in and the fit gets better each day. They arrive somewhat stiff but once you wear them for a few weeks they will get softer and roomier. These boots were pricey but I justified the cost because I know they will last for 10 years.

Beautiful boots! I had a very hard time getting my heal into the boots, they were too tight through the instep. I know they may give some in time but for the price I couldn't take the chance.

Elegant with an edge. I think these boots are as beautiful in person as they are pictured. I will wear them with leggings and dresses alike. I read the reviews and ordered 1/2 size up-they fit well. Hurry up fall!

I love these boots! I have ordered five different pairs of boots (not Frye) and have had to send them all back because they are too small in the calf. These boots are the first pair that I have been able to zip up, I can't believe it! The left boot, for some reason, seems to be a little narrower in the toe bed, and is tight on my toes. I am hoping to stretch them a bit by wearing them around the house. These are high quality boots and will last me a long time. The leather is thick and soft, the zipper is heavy duty and the soles are solid, not rubber like on the 'other' boots that I ordered. After having these, you won't want to go back to any 'other' boot.

These boots are gorgeous. Note - the buckles come undone a lot - but that's a small thing. But they are clunky and a bit uncomfortable. Especially one shoe for me - I've already got blisters on my heel and little toe. I'm hoping having read the other reviews that the leather will give some. The leather is gorgeous and smells fantastic. Note - be sure to take care of them - with spray protector and leather oil - they'll last much longer if you do. Also, order 1/2 size up.

I love all Frye boots. Never had any and recently bought four pairs! love them all. boots run true to size, if anything size down a bit. Initially tight in the forefoot but broke in after a few days.

Great boots! Very comfortable (I can wear them all day, even with arthritic feet). Love the style, too.

Love these boots. Didn't have to break them in - leather is so soft and boots are rocking comfortable. They are full enough at the top that tucking skinny jeans in is not a problem and at the same time they don't bulge out when you wear them with boot cut pants. You won't regret these boots.

After a few sizing tries, I finally found a perfect fit. Definitely order half a size up and you should be good to go. I will never order anything but Frye boots in the future. They are so well made, it is hard to go back to anything else.

These are fantastic boots, stylish and comfortable. They go with everything from dresses to leggings to jeans. These boots are truly the perfect black boot! I had purchased the same boots about a year ago from Zappos and one of the snaps broke. I took them to a cobbler who said he could fix it but the snap wouldn't match. I called Zappos to see if they could help and they replaced the broken boots with a brand new pair (overnight, no less). I LOVE Zappos!

The first time I tried these on, I was sure I would have to return them because they were so stiff to walk in. Each subsequent time I wear them, they are more comfortable, which is a relief because they are fabulous looking. I chose the aged black and the best part of the color is they look as if I have had them for a while and not "perfect" looking. The back zipper is a beast and will definitely require eating your wheaties in the morning. The only other issue I've had is that one of the straps keeps unsnapping. I haven't figured out if it's because of the way I might be crossing my legs and it catches or if the snap is just that lose to spontaneously unsnap. Other than that, I kind of like that when I walk, they have the quietest jingle. I like to imagine I'm wearing bad*ss spurs.

Love these boots! Yes you do have to break them in to feel the most comfort of them and the zipper seems to be a challenge for me each time. These boots are still perfect though, cant beat the quality and style of them! I have the dark brown and will be buying the black ones now too!

I was so surprised by the quality of this boot. I've only ordered 1 pair of Fryes in the past but had the return them (too painful) so I've stayed away from Fryes. But these fit me right out of the box (no rubbing, no blisters). I was worried about the zipper on the heel, but it's not bothersome at all. However, they are pretty tight around my calf and I can't get a pair of skinny jeans in them. But since they're so well made, look so good and fit my foot so comfortably, I'm hopeful they'll stretch in the calf area. For reference, I'm a size 11 and the widest part of my calf is ~15.5".

Love these boots, exactly what I was looking for! That being said, prepare for a break in period. The toe box and the heel are very stiff. I almost returned them after the first time I wore them. I wore 3 pair of thick socks and wore them everyday for a week. It was tough those first few days. Finally got them broke in and I'm so glad I didn't return them! These will last forever and I get tons of complements! They are truly beautiful.

I live in these boots! I've had them over a year and wear them with everything. So versatile, like a second skin. Plus I get so many compliments on them. My favorite boots ever. Love the cognac color too!

Great fit and super comfortable right out of the box. I work on my feet quite a bit, and they have lasted full days! I have smaller calves and they are not too big or slouchy. My new favorite boots.

I love these boots. I fit-test Women's size 9 shoes for the shoe company that I work for, as I'm an exact size 9 (on both feet). These fit perfectly in the toe and the last. My calves are 15" circumference, so not thin but not big enough to necessitate extra wide calf widths (for most brands). It's a snug fit around my calves (I wish there was a little extra room there, just for the look) but I can zip them myself with no problems. Now I want them in the shinier, black leather! So happy!

Beautiful boot. Leather is soft but also thick so think there would be a bit of break in period. I normally wear a 9.5 in Frye but these are too tight. Length is fine but these are too tight around front of foot. They are really great looking though so I'm returning and ordering a 10.

Bought Cognac color. More of a tan than the orange brown shown. Buttery soft lining leather. A rugged looking boot with style. I wear a perfect size 6, purchased a 6 1/2 and I am needing to wear my thinnest socks so they can fit. So runs a little more then 1/2 on the small side. Hefty sole with good grips. Heavy rear zipper looks good and should last. Love the buckles and strap details. Large price tag, but a good sturdy boot that is worth the money if you have a little extra money available to you to spend.

These boots are gorgeous but they were not as rich of a cognac as I was hoping for and were a little more chunky/mannish looking in person. I found all the buckles a little fussy and annoying as they had to be snapped and unsnapped. They were wide in the heel on me too. All that said, they were still one gorgeous pair of Frye boots. Just not the ones for me!

I've been drooling over these boots for the past year and finally snagged a pair of antique black elsewhere on sale for a killer pair of boots! Love the zip back and straps with snaps, easy on and off providing just enough edge/sexiness to the boots. The antique black leather is smooth with interesting crinkles which makes them a bit more versatile for dressing up or down. I consistently take a 7.5 in Frye (4th pair) and found them to be quite snug in the shoe bed (painfully so on one foot). Ordered an 8 and another 7.5 to see if either would fit better. The 8's were too sloppy around my calves with too much slippage on the heel and the second pair of 7.5's ran larger in the calves (1/4" which makes a big difference with skinny calves). The quick fix was to loosen the buckle over the ankle on the original pair - this provided just enough room to make them comfortable while they stretch out a bit during the first few wears. Frye's quality has really spoiled me when it comes to buying boots - it's really hard to settle for anything else!

Love. Love. Love these boots. I'm normally a 6.5, but ended up with a 7. They broke in in a matter of a day to perfection. I want to live in them. :) I have a high arch and could use a bit more support, but overall, love them.

I absolutely love these boots. I searched for a long time to find rustic looking, comfortable, well fitting boots and these had everything I need. I am a teacher and on my feet all day. These provide me with the comfort I need. They are stylish and can be dressed down or up. I have moderate calves and I can tuck skinny jeans into them or just wear them with tights. The only thing I have noticed is the snaps come off fairly easily if rubbed together. Also, the leather distresses easily, but they look rustic and fashionable. I am so glad I invested in these boots!

I wrote an earlier positive review on the Veronica Back Zip. I had ordered the 6 and 6.5 in Cognac but wasn't sure which size to keep. I ended up keeping my usual 6 even though the toebox was tight and I'm really glad I did. I took the tissue paper inserts that came in the boots plus some extras I had and stuffed them tightly into the toebox and instep. I left them like this for 3 days and when I tried them on they had stretched just enough and were perfect! Love the cognac color and the style - comfortable, super cool! Loved them so much I ordered the black ones. The toebox was much more comfortable on the black pair right out of the box. A friend said the black ones look like biker boots, but that's okay. I just think they are cool!
