Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Slouch

Sadly, these boots are like everything else made in Mexico.Very poorly constructed and not worth the asking price. The heel lining was already coming apart.

It's beyond me why these boots are so popular. I got some in slate a couple of years ago, in a sale, and sent them straight back. Nice color but the boot is poorly constructed and cheap looking for the price. The engineer 15R's are so much nicer and edgier.

Way too big!! Got my normal size 9 and I was swimming in these boots. They do look well made, but are not for folks with narrow feet.

This is my 4th pair of the Veronica Slouch boots, and I would have to say my absolute favorite color. Unfortunately, the sizing is off. All my Frye boots are size 8 and all have been a perfect fit so there was no reason for me to think these would be any different. Wrong! Be sure to try every pair of boots on and walk around the house to make sure the sizing is correct. I didn't with these and now I'm stuck with a very expensive pair of boots that I can't wear. :-(

I am hugely disappointed in Frye's QC on these boots. Maybe it is just in the Stonewash color, I don't know. I had a miserable experience with the first pair I ordered, were comfortable once on but it was hell getting them on. Absolute hell. Not worth the trouble. Then, the straps on the 2 boots were each a different color. Then, I found that there was, for lack of a better description, a gouge or thin spot on the inside of the shaft of one of the boots. Made the boot pucker at that spot on the outside, and made the leather much thinner there, I was worried with all the massive tugging to get it on, it might rip in the future. Very disappointing. So, I ordered a second pair; they fit like a dream, easy on/off and felt just right. Sheesh, what an ordeal. Is it like this with all of the other colors? It's why I only gave 3 stars overall.

First off, I love Frye boots, but these were not the quality that I find normally in Frye. The leather was soft and frankly, looked cheap. And then the ankle part of it was funny because they are slouchy and granted I have bigger calves so that may have been the reason they looked so disproportionate.

These boots are a gorgeous color. However, just too western looking in person for my taste. Toe curls up too much, but the top buckle is adorable. I bought 1/2 larger like other reviewers had suggested and they were a little big, so I don't know that I would suggest going larger.

Nice boots, very comfortable on. I'm usually a 8-8 and ordered an 8, as I have for my other Frye boots. This pair was actually pretty snug, but I assume they would have given a bit, and fit perfectly. I won't know though, because they are going back today. The boots arrived and I was immediately so-so about the texture of the leather. I expect leather to have some variation in its tone and grain, but one of these boots was all bumpy towards the ankle while the leather smoothed out towards the top and on the toe, and the other boots was smooth all over. Although I didn't like it, I still considered keeping them until I noticed "Frye" stamped on the outside of both brass buckles on both boots. I've always appreciated Frye's branding for its subtle approach (the embossed logo on the leather of most boots), and I have no interest in being a walking advertisement for any company. Although the wording on the buckles wouldn't have been noticeable from afar, it would have bothered me, so the Veronica Slouch boots are going back today.

I just pulled these boots on in a size 7.5 (black) and found one boot ran tight in the toe box, but I think it could be broken in over time. However, the leather is very dry as typical of low-grade leather, not the usual beautiful Frye quality. I'm desperate for art studio work boots and I love the design, but I'm afraid these will require too much breaking in and I agree with other reviewers who said their leather chipped or flaked easily. Frye needs to up their quality control and find out where the source of sub-standard leather is coming from. I did originally order this same style in brown, size 8, and quality was amazing, but size was too big. I did not hesitate to try a smaller size, but I switched to black. Now with disappointing leather issue, I am going to have to pass and try another brand. Thank you Zappos for outstanding customer service!

These boots fit perfectly and I loved the color and texture of the leather. Unfortunately, they were not fitted around the ankle, but were tight at the top; so quite unflattering.

Beautiful leather but shoddy workmanship! I love so much about this boot; the color, the buttery softness, that it holds my heel firmly in place. However, the shortcomings quickly mounted. Before I even removed it from the box I noticed that the stitchings in the left calf buckle were broken. After putting them on and taking them off only twice, the leather footbed liner (mysteriously in two separate pieces) had peeled back. Superglue? A trip to the cobbler? I don't feel I can invest such a high price in boots that have such poorly manufactured details. Back they go!

Very cool, nice looking boot, but the black patent has a brown undertone that's a bit strange. Almost looks like a brown boot painted black. Also, tough on bunions.

LOOKED better OFF than ON - Beautiful, gorgeous boots. It took me forever to finally be able to get them on. I could only put them on in the morning when my feet were rested. I have slim calves so I think I would prefer boots from now on with a zipper only. I really do love these boots but they are not made for me.

Cute, but..... Impossible to put on. I bought a 7 though I usually wear a 6.5. Plenty of room - once I was able to get them on my feet (took 15 frustrating minutes). I don't have overly high insteps - at least I've never had trouble with any shoes/boots in the past. Too bad, these are cute.

Almost... I wanted these shoes to work!! When I finally got them on (which is rather tricky) they looked terrific! However, the heel slipped and I just can't spend 5 minutes getting into my shoes in the morning. Instead I bought the Carmen 14L model and LOVE them! The zip makes them easy to put on, and the heel doesn't slip.

Impossible to put on - This boot is beautiful and as with all Frye products, very high quality. Unfortunately, I couldn't even put it on because of the arch. Better luck to you.

Veronica Slouch - I found this boot a bit tough to get on. I don't recommend wearing it on long walking trips. I think it looks nice.

Runs way too small. Very cute boot BUT . . . the instep is soooo tight that I could barely get it on while barefoot. Considering that I would probably wear this with socks means that I cannot get it on at all, and I ordered a half size larger than I normally buy. Frye boots normally run large, so it's very strange that this style ran so small and so tight. The leather is nice and soft, and they don't slouch unless you make them, and I wanted to wear them non-slouched, which is good. But I'm concerned if I go up another size that they will still be too narrow in the foot, but too big in the heel.

Tight fit for wide foot - I love these boots however I couldn't keep them because they were too narrow for me. I love the campus boot it fits great, but this style just didn't work for me. I went a half size up and still couldn't get the right boot on my foot.

I can believe how disappointed I am! I couldn't wait to find these on my doorstep and subsequently try them on and I was pretty disappointed! Hard. No cushion or support. Very tight in the toe and very loose in the heel, to the point I felt like I was walking out of them in the back! Bizarre! So sad, love the look, but these have to go back! I don't think I could wear these all day at work, no way! My search continues!

I purchased these on 6pm since they were on sale. Even with a discount, I paid quite a bit, and I was expecting high quality boots for the money and for the Frye brand. I have another pair of Frye boots that have amazing craftsmanship and that live up to the brand name, so I had a point of reference. I was so excited to get the Veronica Slouch after eyeing them for a few months and finally taking the plunge to purchase them. Shipping was quick which was nice. However, when I finally received them, I opened the box and right away noticed a huge difference in the craftsmanship and quality of the shoes between my other pair of Frye boots. It was so disappointing - the leather wasn't as luxurious, but rather thin...there was no lining inside the shaft of the boots, and the stitch work on the shoe seemed mediocre (glue visibly sticking out on the seams, etc.). I really couldn't believe they were Frye boots! I decided to return them right away. 6pm being a Zappos discount site offers free shipping when you make a purchase, but no free return shipping like its sister site.

I think I'm going to return these because the pair I got look a lot different than in the online picture. I expected a certain amount of variation, since I got the stone washed kind that are half dyed, but online the colors look carefully blended and in person, mine looked like they were simply dipped or brushed with dye. There was no smooth transition between colors.

I was very disappointed in the quality of these boots. The leather just feels cheap, the boots feel light. For the same price, or a bit cheaper, the Frye Engineer 15R are of a much higher quality in my opinion. Sturdy, heavy, a sole to last a lifetime, everything you'd want in a pricey boot.

Oh, how I wanted to love them. I have been wanting these boots for over a year and finally decided to spend the money on them. I opened the box, they were lovely and smelled great, too! When I put them on, they were immediately uncomfortable. My heels slipped in them causing the beginnings of blisters in the 2 minutes I walked around in them, but at the same time my toes were being pinched. I can't go a size smaller because the toe pinch will be worse. I am more than disappointed. I couldn't wait to have these as part of my fall wardrobe. Bummer.
