PERFECT: classic, versatile, badass, comfortable, and well-made
THE BOOTS OF MY DREAMS! I am a huge Frye fan, positively addicted to the timeless style and superior craftsmanship of their boots. I currently have seven pairs...which is really 6 pairs too many because not only are they fairly expensive, but they last forever. One of the things I love about this brand is their consistent sizing across all models; it's such a relief to just be able to order an 8.5 online, in any style, and *know* without a doubt that it will fit (whereas so many other companies play stupid games with their sizing). However, these might just be the last pair of Frye boots I ever buy because--GAME OVER, Veronica wins!!! If there were an official Venn Diagram of "Badass" and "Classy," Veronica Combat boots would be that place in the center. First off, they really do look like the old-school combat boots I used to rock in high school; comfortable and surprisingly lightweight, yet weatherproof and sturdy, the perfect kicks for wearing around the city (because you want to look your best but never know when you might have to put your foot in someone's ass). And as for that classic style, I could weep tears of actual joy that Frye refrained from ruining this perfect ankle boot with a tacky zipper; the lace-up shaft is just the right height to wear with skinny jeans or cropped pants, and they look equally fly with a dress and tights or a skirt and leggings. I have to admit, the stone-wash finish was not my first choice, but 8.5s in regular black seemed to be sold out everywhere so I took a chance and I'm so glad I did! The stone wash looked a little bit splotchy and contrived right out of the box, but they actually look amazing now that the boot itself is broken in more, like they're naturally (and badassly) weathered. Not that these babies needed any breaking in in terms of comfort; they absolutely cradled my foot with a perfect, feels-like-custom-made fit the minute I put them on. I disagree with other reviewers who recommended sizing up because of the stiff toe-box: the very bottom of the toe box rubbed my left pinky a bit, but they loosened up after a day or two of wearing and I never even got a blister. Now I wear them everywhere, all day, everyday: to the office, out on the weekend, even hanging around the house in sweatpants. I love love LOVE these boots and cannot recommend them enough!

Excellent Quality, Comfort & Style
Order half a size up. I bought these for outdoor use in the rugged Arizona wilderness. Tried them out for the 1st time two weeks ago rock collecting and was very impressed. Am always worried about twisting an ankle so decided military boots would be the best. These are very slim fitting black boots that can also be worn to work. Extremely well made and comfortable with a pair of medium thick socks. I foresee these boots lasting at least ten years. They cleaned up well and I am extremely happy with this purchase. I just purchased a 2nd pair of these combat boots in the pine green color. I want one pair in the black to wear to work and a 2nd pair for hiking in the AZ Mountains and wilderness. I absolutely love these boots. Thank you Frye for making these exceptionally high quality boots. The break in time was less than one day of wear. Extremely comfortable!! My friends and colleagues love these boots as well. A great investment in footwear comfort and protection for my extremely delicate feet!! Thank You!!! ❤🧡💛 Just ordered a 3rd pair in the cream color. Saw they were 50% off and had to buy!!

The sol rubber on the front toe part did not match, and one looked longer then the other
It was love at first sight, then they arrived. The rubber was formed differently on one boot making it longer and not matching. My heels came up as I walked. I ware a size 7.5 to 8. So I ordered 8. They are are the smaller size. I did not reorder them after my return. Still waiting on my money return and it's been a month already. I expected they would be inspected before being shipped.

I ordered these jeans in a medium. The stretch is amazing! I also ordered in root beer ( brown). These are a novelty trend to add to my everyday denim, why I ordered in brown. They are comfortable, stretch nice, great length I’m 5,2. All over recommend! The brown color is fire.

Frye will never let you down. Best boot maker around.
I’ve been wearing Frye boots for 20years now. These are extremely comfortable with a longer sock and take no time to break in. Only complaint. The shoe strings do not stay tied together as you wear them the break loose . Even double knotted. Other than that so cute and timeless. Worth the price as always .

These shoes are Amazing
I loved these boots and there was no break-in period...they were comfy and soft from the beginning and after a few days of wearing them even more so. I order a 9 1/2 originally even though I am always a size 9 due to all the reviews of saying to size up. Well guess what?... they fit me like a 9 1/2... they were too big. Loved the quality though and returned them and ordered my normal size which was a 9 and they fit perfectly and they do loosen up a little bit after a few hours.... so these shoes for me were totally true to size. I do not have wide feet or narrow feet... my feet are pretty regular and I do not have a huge arch either and these shoes were perfect for me. I could see if someone had wider feet that these shoes may fit too narrow for them as if my feet were wider I could see the shoe not working. Love these shoes... the leather is the finest quality and I know these are going to be my favorites for many years to come.

Beautiful, Perfect Style- But Squished Toes
Out of the box I loved this boot, just looking at it, I loved it! I loved the way the leather felt and the way it smelled. The construction of the boots was quality and I could tell they would be with me for a long time. At last, I found my perfect boot! ...sadly, trying them on was a tremendous disappointment. Even though the boot fit me perfectly in length it wasn't roomy enough vertically in the toe box. My toes were squished. I have never had this experience with shoes before. There was no room with socks at all. They felt a size too small and yet, if I order a size up, to a 9, I think they would be too sloppy on my feet. My feet are narrow and my toes are long and thin. There is nothing chunky about my feet or toes and I don't have a particularly high instep, as far as I know. I am so sad these shoes won't work for me. I had to return them. Sniff. (I'm giving them 3 stars because they are beautiful and well made and would be perfect...if only.)
