Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Slouch

I have been wanting these boots for a long time and decided to get for myself for Christmas. I am very happy with them and the style is just what I wanted. I originally ordered a 9 in black and I always wear a 9, but they were too loose. Ordered an 8.5 and they fit fine. Was worried my toes would hit the front, but they didn't to my surprise. Will fit the best with medium weight socks (not thick or thin). The only thing I would want different is to have a full rubber lug sole for better traction. Thanks Zappos.

These are perhaps the best shoe investment I've made in a long time. These will not go out of style, and they only look better with age. Fits true to size and easy to romp around town in them feeling like a million bucks! Well worth it! I got them in slate and vintage chocolate. I think I'll go for the black next to replace the engineer boots I already have. Perfect!

These are great boots. I wore them for the first time (call me crazy) visiting a new city and did lots of walking. They are very comfortable, stylish and well-made. I did not get any blisters nor sore feet. I love them. I am hoping that they last a very long time!

Absolutely love. These boots were super tough to get on right out of the box, but that's good news to me. I took them on and off a few times the first night out, and they became increasingly more fitted to my foot. I wore heels all day before I went out in these, and my feet were soothed by the end of the night. So comfy and so cute.

Great boot, leather on the calf was a little grainy and rough, the foot was smooth, but that's just the nature of leather. I've grown to like the texture. Great with skinny jeans, skirts, tons of compliments. This is my 3rd pair of Frye and will buy more?

I bought these boots a little over a year ago, and I still love them and wear them every chance I get. I'm a 6.5-7, and got the 6.5 upon advice from the Nordstrom associate. They felt pretty snug at first and I could only wear very thin socks, and for the first month I toyed with the idea of exchanging them for the 7's. The snugness was more in the narrowness of the toe bed, but not the length. I'm glad I didn't exchange them though, because they definitely stretched out just like the high quality Frye leather is known to do, and now they fit so perfectly. I can also wear thicker socks now if I want to. The footbed never really felt padded, however, and although I never ever get blisters, my feet can get a bit tired after wearing these all day. I still adore them however, and would purchase them again in a heartbeat.

I bought the black/brown Frye Veronica Slouch boot from a friend's recommendation and a lot of comparison shopping. The quality cannot be beat: the leather feels buttery and supple, the seams are strong, and the boot feels solid. I wear them almost every day and I receive compliments from strangers each time. I wear them for 12 hours without any foot trouble, they are so comfortable. My only struggle is to pull them off, but I expect that from a pull-on boot. Overall, they fit true to size for me. They were snug at first, but loosened nicely after about a week. I used the Frye conditioning cream to prepare them for winter and they look even better than new. These boots are more expensive than what I've ever paid for shoes before, but they are so worth it. I know that I will keep them for years.

I bought a pair of these last January, and they are my favorite pair of shoes I have ever owned. I wear them with skirts, with jeans, with dresses... They took about 2 days to break in, and did give me a blister or two in those two days. They fit true to size (I am an 8 1/2, with wide-ish feet). Best purchase ever.

Every time I wear these I get a compliment, they are really comfortable, look great with leggings, skinny jeans and skirts...really everything. The color is a perfect distressed brown and the leather is so soft.

I really like these boots. They are gorgeous on, and I get lots of compliments. However, they vary a lot by individual boot. The pair I received from Zappos was slightly defected. The stitching that goes around the visible (top facing) sole of the boot - which is decorative only and is a bit jacked up on my pair. The stitching goes off to the side, and the sole in general is a bit jacked up. I liked the rest of the boot, though, and they fit well, so I didn't want to give them up. I took them to a department store to ask if they thought I should return, and the guy said they were definitely slightly damaged. I tried on other pairs there, and there were none I liked better, due to leather coloring and nuances. So, I think I am keeping these boots. I still have the box sitting here and have not yet worn them outside. For this price I think they should be perfect, but maybe I am being perfectionistic? Either way, gorgeous boot, just be aware that they vary individually.

If you haven't even purchased a 'real' leather boot before, please read... Fryes are made to last a life time. The Veronica Slouch is no exception. Order your normal size. I usually wear a six so I ordered a six. Put on a short or ankle height sock of medium thickness. I like to use my running socks. Sit down. Unpack your boots. Smell them. If you are like me, say, "Ooooh. Aaaah." a few times. Then put them on. When you first put them on, you WILL think that they are WAY too small. You will struggle and possibly break a sweat getting this boot on your foot. Pull the shaft up straight and stomp your way in. Make sure you have enough lenth in front of your toe...I have about 3/4 of an inch. Walk around long enough to make sure your heel doesn't rub badly. Your boots will break in after a bit of wear...I usually wear mine 24/7 for a few weeks until they feel like old friends. If your leather boots are loose when you get them or fit perfectly out the box, know they are going to stretch and mold to your foot and may or may not be too big or start rubbing as they do. A boot that feels a bit tight to get on in the ankle area and a little stiff on is going to relax into a great fit. Ok, I ordered the Cognac Stone Wash and the distressed dark brown. I have to say they are both amazingly gorgeous boots of two different flavors. I'm keeping the cognac. I'd keep both if my wallet allowed. The cognac is perfectly distressed on the outside...they look like you've inherited them from your John Wayne grandfather, but better. The dark brown is a beautiful full-grain leather with minor reddish-toned variations. They are much dressier and polished. A final note...I have very athletic calves. The regular Veronica slouch might not fit you like you expect if you have legs like me. My naked calves measure about 15 inches around at their widest so the Veronica doesn't do much slouching. I certainly can fit my skinny jeans or leggings in there but there isn't room to spare. I'm hoping down the road to either get the shaft stretched by a cobbler or broken in enough so that I can wear thick socks over my skinny jeans with the boots. If you like the way these look, order them. I know everyone says that, but they are timeless and soft and amazing!

This is a beautiful boot! Comfortable, nice looking, very soft leather, fits well (I ordered 1/2 size bigger than my usual size). This particular style (the stonewashed look) is a bit more casual than I am looking for, so I am exchanging these for the dark brown Veronica Slouch boots. I can't wait to get them, because these felt awesome on!

A fabulous boot. I look for very simple style with boots and these are perfect. Just enough room to get on without a zipper. I did put a footbed in for a little more cushion on the bottom for comfort. Love the look. Great with jeans or dresses. Perfect for long socks showing out the top.

I'm not sure I've ever written a review on Zappos, but I love these boots so much that I must. The leather is so soft and pretty. The color is perfect. Amazing boots.

I love these! Amazing boots, great quality, and the color on the leather is gorgeous. My first pair of Fryes and I think I'm hooked.

True to size. I wear a size 10 and have a wide foot and these are very comfortable! I have them in the dark brown shine color, as well as the black. I get compliments on them all the time. The only 'negative' about them, is that sometimes they can be stubborn to pull on, but as they are slowly getting broken in, it is getting easier to get them on.

I debated over buying these boots for a full year before I finally committed. I purchased the dark brown in a half size bigger based on the other reviews. I love them! They are perfect for fall, and look great with jeans, skirts, and dresses. I wear them almost every day. They're great quality and I highly recommend them.

I got two pair and sent one back. They were both different. The pair I sent back weren't as sturdy, the leather was softer and shinier. The pair I kept, was stiffer, and not as shiny but I decided they would hold integrity longer. These are comfortable, fun and sexy boots. I have gotten a lot of compliments on them. The color is perfect and go well with Skinny Jeans. I am still experimenting with other styles. They aren't as tall as I thought so they look a little funny with short dresses/skirts, but overall I love them! They are my favorite boot. Zappos return policy is amazing, so if you don't like there is not question on return!

These are the best boots ever. I have three pairs of Frye boots! I love these the most and they will be a favorite for years to come.

Love these boots! The color is beautiful and they are so comfortable. Took 3 different tries to get the right pair but it was worth it. The first pair the sizing seemed off since the left boot was noticeably bigger than the right and the heel seemed off kilter, the second pair the stitching was coming undone, but the third was just right. I wear a thinner sock with these boots so if you want to wear thicker socks go up a half size.

Love these boots! The leather is supple and they have a great coloration to them! I have no doubt these boots are going to last! I have a hard time finding boots that look good on me since I'm 5'2 and have a short leg. Most boots hit me too high, these don't; however, they would look good on a longer leg as well. I'm considering the black now!

Very good looking boots and quite comfortable. They run a little small and I had to order a half size larger than usual.

If you are looking for a pair of casual brown boots, this one is for you! It looks great and comfortable. It's also true to size and width.
