Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Slouch

I love these boots. The vintage shine calf has a slightly pebbled grayish look and is extremely versatile. These are a good compromise for those not wanting the distressed look of the Stonewash or the overly shiny black look of the regular black. The smell of the leather is divine and I get lots of compliments on them. Depending on the width of your calf, they may or may not slouch as much however the adjustable buckle on the side helps. Zappos rocks, by the way. Their customer service is excellent! Because of the uniquness of the leather, I exchanged my original purchase a couple times to ensure I got the look I wanted and they were great about it! Fast shipping too. For my shoe purchases, I choose Zappos! :)

The are the best boots. I had them in brown and loved them so much I got the black ones. Very comfortable. There is room to expand the upper part of the boot in case you have bigger calves. The fit is a little snug initially but still comfortable. As with any great boots, they form to your feet the more you wear them. Definitely recommend!

Love this boot. Bought the calf shine vintage which was described as black. It however was not a true black color- it looks like a deep steel grey (at least the pair I received looks that way). I'm happy. I'm not sure I could justify another pair of black books! I am a true size 8 and in this style, I order 7.5 and it fits perfect. Great for slim calves. Very happy with these.

These boots are absolutely gorgeous! I unfortunately had to return them just because I felt like they didn't look right on me, but wow. They are beautiful boots. My returning them had nothing to do with the quality or comfort, just the particular style and how it looked on me. The construction is fantastic, and they are shockingly comfortable when you first try them on. I didn't have a chance to wear them for more than a few minutes inside, but I could tell they would be comfy boots. To my surprise, the calf was actually very forgiving. They arrived buckled on the second notch (with one left to go bigger) and they fit my 15 1/2" calves perfectly with no struggle (and with skinny jeans on). Don't let the calf measurement discourage all of you athletic ladies...I'm in the same boat. I always have a hard time finding boots that will fit over my calves and these are perfect. They did run a tad big in my opinion. I usually wear an 8, and the 8 seemed to be a bit big for me. The footbed was a tad too narrow for my liking, but that's just my preference. It's too bad they didn't look better on me because they are absolutely to die for boots. If you can pull them off, I highly recommend them!

I've never been one to write reviews but had to take the time to say that I absolutely love these boots. I saw them in a local store but when they didn't have my size I went to the Zappos website. These arrived in less than 2 days and are amazing right out of the box. No breaking in required and I'd say true to size. The color is gorgeous and the leather so soft and supple. They are a bit loose in the calves but my calves are narrow. I actually like the slightly loose, casual, slouchy look, as this is what I was after. These are great over jeans and with skirts. I pretty much think I'll be living in these boots for a while. Although spendy, they are a timeless style that I'll wear for years to come; well worth the cost.

Beautiful boots! Fits true to size, I am a size 6.5 and ordered the 6.5 and they fit great. I can also wear with a sock. You can totally see the quality and craftsmanship in this boot. Cannot wait to wear them with skinny black jeans or black leggings!

Just your standard, high-quality Frye boots. They look great with leggings. I have short legs and big calves, I usually have a hard time finding boots that work. But these fit fine and can be further adjusted with buckles. I love 'em!

I absolutely love these boots! I wear a size 6 - ordered a size 6 and they are a perfect fit - very comfortable as well. I usually wear them with a trouser sock. I love the quality and style. However, it is quite a struggle to get them on the 1st few times. Thankfully I was prepared from having read the reviews. I managed with a slippery sock and a boot horn but it was not quick nor easy. But do not despair - I can now pull them on fairly quickly and without the boot horn so they will loosen up. Buy them!

These are my first Fryes and I wanted these since as far back as I can remember, finally I received them as a birthday gift. I couldn't be happier! I really was getting worried when I read all the reviews about them being tight, but I have to be honest, they are snug, and if you know your feet are not small, I would recommend sizing up. The calf is tight on top but I'll live. I think over time it will form to my foot; it is not uncomfortable. Overall I give them 5 Stars because they are definitely worth it. One little detail, because they are leather, the pattern on one boot is different than the other, but I love them so much it doesn't bother me. Awesome boot, will take walking in to get used to but overall I am happy. They are not shiny as I feared either, they are so awesome. I love them!

Get these! I love Frye boots. I have 5 pairs of Frye boots. I was looking this year for a great pair of brown boots and tried several brands...since I already had these in black I finally returned (yet again) my other purchases from Zappos this pair. I am so glad I did. They are beautiful. Slip them on with a plastic produce bag if you have a hard time getting them on the first time...after that you won't have a problem. Save yourself the time and just get Frye boots. Thank you Zappos for your great customer service.

The reviews for the Veronica Slouch boots speak for themselves. I was stalking these boots for a long time and finally broke down and bought them! Very comfortable right out of the box! I don't like slouchy boots and these are really not very slouchy, just a bit. Dress them up or down. I have to say, I have noticed many women stalking my boots! Just get them already- so worth the money!

I thought I would add a review here from the perspective of someone who has owned these boots for two years. They are wonderful, amazing, so comfortable. I have walked miles and miles in these, probably every day for the past two winters, more or less. They have held up really well. The only problem for me now is that the leather has relaxed so much in the ankle that now they are very slouchy, and I do not know if anything can be done. I have big calves to begin with, which is why I chose these boots. Now I am at the last hole on the top buckle, and they still slide down within minutes. It is not the calf circumference, it is that the ankle is not supporting the upper part of the boot. This is not a complaint as the boots have served me well, I just do not like the super slouchy look, like puddles of leather around my ankle. This is a recent issue, so I would say that it took a solid two years of heavy wearing for this to happen. I hope this is helpful info. Also, Fryes are consistently half a size large for me (I own four pairs, all 7½, while I am an 8 in all other shoes).

These boots are fantastic! However, I do have 2 problems with them at the moment. 1) my heels are rubbing against the back, not because they are too small but I just may need to wear thicker socks to break them in. 2) the leather sole on the inside is peeling up a little bit, I noticed when I was taking off one of the boots (this could be because my feet get a little sweaty). However, I can always use super glue to make them stick again. I thought about getting them replaced but I am sure this would happen again. I wish the leather sole was 1 whole piece and not 2 so this would not happen to a pair of boots at this price. Nevertheless, these boots are beautiful, great quality, rich leather, durable, and get more comfortable each day you wear them. I was a little skeptical about spending this much for a pair of boots and was considering ordering them elsewhere for a better price...yet, Zappos has amazing customer service and I trust them and they also do not add on tax to these boots. If you are thinking about getting them like I was, just do it, you will be glad you did.

These boots were a total impulse buy. Never owned a pair of boots (except for wellies) in my life, but all of a sudden decided I needed brown riding boots. These do not disappoint! They are awesome, straight out of the box. No breaking in required. I am usually a 6.5 in everything, but they didn't have my size in stock, so I ordered a 7. Wearing them with thin socks, I have just the right amount of wiggle room for my toes, so I think it was a good thing I sized up. They are not too heavy, which was a fear I had about boots in general. I bet I could walk in these things all day if I had to. I have thick calves, but they fit just fine. They are price-y, but worth every penny! Must give kudos to Zappos for their amazing customer service. I ordered them late Monday night, they were on my doorstep Wednesday!

Fabulous boot -- everything about it. It looks much nicer in person than online. The shaft circumference is neither too large nor too small, and is nicely shaped; the ankle fits comfortably against the foot; the shape of the toe is refined; there is good arch support; and the heel height is perfect. Really, I can't think of one thing I don't like about this boot. If I had the funds, I'd purchase more than one pair.

I love these boots. I'd gone back and forth about whether to get them for a year (since they were so pricey). However, I will be wearing these boots for years to come, so it was worth the money! These boots are comfortable from the moment you put them on. They don't have to be broken in like some other styles of Frye boots. You will not be sorry if you buy these boots!

Wonderful, sturdy, casual boot. Really well made. Looks great over skinny jeans or under boot cut.

I bought these for my wife for Christmas this year. Based upon other reviews regarding sizing, I bought a 7, which is what my wife usually wears. When she first tried them on, she could only get on the right boot. Again, based upon other reviews, I figured they just needed a little loosening up. I simply put my fist inside the boot and stretched out the leather a little bit. After that, she was able to slip on the left boot as well. She started out by just wearing them in the house a couple of hours at a time. After they had stretched out a bit, she wore them to work one day. She works in retail sales and is on her feet all day. At the end of the day, she said her feet did not hurt and that the boots are as comfortable as any she has ever worn. As for looks, the boots speak for themselves. It is kind of hard to go wrong with Fryes. I have a pair of Frye harness boots that I have had for 10 years. Frye makes high quality boots that just seem to get better with age. It is kind of like your favorite old flannel shirt and faded Levi's.

Have the same boots in smooth brown; so comfortable had to have them in black too. Pricey...but value for the price makes them a good buy.

I just received these boots in the mail yesterday. I am in love! These are my fourth pair of boots I've purchased this fall/winter, and will not be my last. I tried these on at my local Nordstrom's store and they were amazing! The leather is incredibly soft and you can tell that this is high quality. I was a little hesitant due to the high price point, but splurged anyways. Out of all my boots so far, these fit the best in the leg shaft. I am about 5'5 and have super skinny legs. My other boots always leave a gap on the sides-it looks ok, but obviously I would prefer no space. These do NOT leave a gap! They look perfect on. I ended up buying the black pair since I have two browns already. I wasn't crazy about the black color thinking that it would look too biker-ish. But that is not the case. Even my husband liked the boot and he is very picky. If you are on the fence about these boots, buy it. They are so worth it and I'm sure you will love them as much as I do. Now I'm looking to buy the Veronica Slouch in short. Thanks, Zappos, you are great as always!

My husband knows how to say Merry Christmas! Love him and these boots! I wear a 6 - these are 6.5 and perfect with normal socks, I cannot wear my thin instep orthotics because the toe box is tight with the extra layer - moderate support otherwise. They're beautiful. Quality look. Substantial and sturdy. I feel great wearing these. So many boots this season - but only these will do.

These boots are fabulous. I love them. They fit great size-wise, although like with a lot of my Frye boots the heel slips a bit so I need to wear thicker socks. They're a bit snug out of the box in the top-of-toe area but I can see that will loosen up with wear. My boots aren't very slouchy just yet. I'm hoping that changes as well, but if not, they're still super cool. This is my sixth pair of Fryes and just as awesome as all the others I have. Great quality.

I absolutely love these boots! They are gorgeous, versatile and amazingly comfortable. I ordered a 1/2 size larger, but after wearing them a bit, I now think I should have stayed with my true size. As always, Zappos' customer service is superb.

I love these boots! I had to put a plastic bag on my foot to get in the first 1-2 times. It is still a chore to get my foot in, especially with socks on. I normally don't fit into boots because I have a wide calf (especially the middle of my calf) but these actually fit me! They are very comfortable and the leather is so soft.

Sweet leathery satisfaction. I've been craving these boots for many moons and for x-mas this year my dad finally agreed that these were a choice investment as far as foot coverings go. I've gone through 5 pairs of inexpensive boots since last x-mas but at around this price a pair that adds up, that money is clearly better put towards some quality boots that will last for years! My feet pretty consistently require a size 7.5, (I almost asked for a size 8 because I have a high instep (which can be a big issue with leather boots) and semi-wide feet). Knowing that nice leather will allow some give over time as it relaxes, I decided to trust the majority which said they fit true to size, and asked for the 7.5, they're sublime! My mom wears the same size and she wants a pair now, though I think they're comfy as is, she has arch problems but we've determined there's more than enough room to slip some arch support in there. I've been wearing them every day since I got them and haven't experienced any blisters or discomfort which I thought was characteristic of the NEW, breaking in the leather Boot Experience, apparently not the case when the boots in question are such high quality. The back of the heel, right where you would normally get those crippling blisters, is supportive but isn't stiff like it is on most leather boots, in fact the whole upper leather isn't as stiff/thick as I imagined and I'm glad. I've worn these with ultra casual running tights/leggings and cozy sweaters, with more put together skinny jeans and a nice jacket, and with a really nice dress and tights, they're so versatile, they look awesome with everything. You won't regret this investment! also the heel produces a beyond satisfying click on hard surfaces. Make good choices, buy Frye boots.
