Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Slouch - Wide Calf

Love these boots! I've had these boots in brown going on my 3rd fall season. They are always the first thing I pull out when the weather cools down. This year I decided to add the black to my collection, now that I know that they are well worth the investment. My take: The leather is high quality, as you would expect from Frye, and the rubber sole is a plus - a feature that seems hard to find in leather boots (probably due to limited selection of wide calf boots...) I have wide flat feet, and my foot has room to move - doesn't feel cramped around the arch. In addition to the top buckle being adjustable, so is the one across the top of the foot. It's not just there for decoration. The fit only improves with wear, and the brown looks great even after they get a bit beat up. I'll probably try to keep the black in better shape, as I don't think they would show the wear as well. I have always avoided boots that don't zip due to difficulty putting them on, but I've never had a problem getting these on or off. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this purchase!

These are beautiful boots! The dark brown is very deep and rich in color. Love them!

I love these boots. They fit so comfortable. Had had to exchange but with Zappos it was no problem. I love these boots!

Finally! I returned three pairs of wide calf boots that did not fit. These fit perfectly. I am wearing them every day.

These are beautiful boots. The leather has a weathered look without looking cheap. It is soft and just what I was looking for. They are comfortable and fit true to size. The calf buckles ensure a good fit. I love them.

I love these boots. Amazing fit. Gorgeous leather. Great versatile color. Zappos is amazing. Had an issue with the first pair received after 3 months. Emailed to find warranty info and Zappos had a replacement pair in the air immediately. Could not be more impressed!

I love these boots. For many many years I have been unable to find boots to fit my large calves. I am 5'1" and 130 pounds. I have very skinny ankles so most extended calf boots just bunch around my ankles and pull tight on my calves for an all around horrible look that makes me look even shorter. These boots are perfect - they stand up properly (even though the are "slouch"), don't unnecessarily widen my legs. I can even wear them comfortably with jeans tucked in - amazing. Worth every penny.

I love these boots! To wear and to just look at! They are fabulous. They run small so buy a size bigger, the are wide on top just as advertised, well made and as tall as they are advertised. They will slip on ice, live in cold climate, but other than that I am really happy with them. I find Frye boots, for me, run small so order big.

These boots are amazing. I have had them in brown for over 3 years, and I have been saving up for these ones. They last forever and they are super comfortable. I have wide calves and I am able to wear pants and fit these boots comfortably over them. Highly recommend! Definitely worth the money.

Can't believe I waited until age 66 to get my first Frye boots! They are great. I usually wear 8.5 in Frye, so I ordered both 8.5 and 9.0. The 8.5 were slightly tight in toe out of box, but within 2 days they were perfect! Love the rich color and all the compliments I get. Thanks Zappos!

I love these boots! I have very large ankles and calves and these boots are very comfortable. I tried many, many other boots from different brands and even though they fit, they didn't look right. I was so happy when I got these, and they were exactly what I was looking for.

I don't know that I can find adequate words to describe these amazing boots. I normally buy quality, name brand shoes and boots. However, these were a significant investment. They are more than worth the investment. The quality of the leather is incredible and the "weathered" finish gives them an exceptional appearance. I would note that the wide calf is especially wide. I actually think I may have been able to wear the regular calf given the generous fit on these. These detail does not detract from my love affair with these boots. Easily the best gift I have ever given myself!

Extremely comfortable. Roomy for women with calves. The adjustable buckles on ankle and calf are great to fine tune the fit. Leather is awesome.

These are beautiful and stylish. They are made from luscious soft leather, and are the perfect height for my longish legs (I am 5'8"). They are a bit taller than mid-calf boots, but shorter than knee-tall height, which I like. They fit true to my 8½ size while wearing wool socks. If I add a comfort insert it will get tighter and I will have to wear thinner socks. There is a little heel slippage as with all Fryes, not a deal breaker. Because of heel slippage, I give them four out of five for comfort. But people say the slippage diminishes with wear. The boots have a nice, solid rubber tread which is practical for New England conditions. These are built for long lasting wear as well as style. My calfs are average width, and I got the regular width boots, for a gentle slouchy look with tucked-in skinny jeans. I am quite happy with these boots!

Amazing! They actually fit my calves! I'm a size 6 (size 6.5 for these though - extra room is nice for thick socks) and my calf measures 16 inches around. They fit perfectly and since it's leather I have a feeling it'll only become a better fit as I wear them. Thank you Frye for making such a beautiful boot that fit muscular legs! Too bad they cost an arm and a leg. I want them in black too!

I usually wear an 8½ in boots and these boots in 8½ fit my 16½" calves (which is usually a problem). They are a little shorter than other boots and I hoped that they would look all right on me. They were shorter on me (I am 5'7") but the boots themselves were really beautiful. I think the shorter size also made my legs look better above the top of the boots (sometimes that can be a problem for me, as well). I did decide to send them back for ones cut just a bit higher if I can find them.

Finally, a boot that fits my calf, WITH jeans on. I wear a size 9 normally and have at least a 16-inch muscular calf. I bought a size 9 hoping they would work and they did! There is even actually a little room in the calf, so they're not ridiculously tight. I do have slightly wider feet, and these are a little tight in the foot bed but they've already stretched a tiny bit in a couple weeks. I've gotten lots of compliments! They were expensive for sure. But because I know I'll have them for many, many years, I think it was worth it.

After wasting a bunch of money on boots that fall apart after one season and having a hard time finding ones that fit my calves, I finally treated myself to Frye's and will probably never buy another brand again. The quality is, not surprisingly, exactly what I've always heard about these boots, unparalleled craftsmanship and amazing quality. They broke in much easier than I expected (took about 2 days of wearing). I wear them almost everyday. For you wide calf ladies, I'm 15" and use the very first notch at the top so there is more than enough room if your calves are bigger than that. Can't wait to buy another style

Love these boots! Right out of the box and they fit perfectly. It did take a couple wears to make them extra perfect, but love them! They are my go to boot for every thing. I am 5'1" and have a hard time finding the right boot for me, but these are great!

This is the holy grail of boots! I have been searching for a quality leather boot to put an end to my annual purchases of two or three pairs of synthetic boots with toes that end up scuffed with the synthetic material peeling off in no time. I have never spent over so much on any type of shoe, but like so many other reviewers, I just kept gazing longingly at these. I ordered a 7½ rather than my usual 7 based on reading other reviews. They seem great in the length and width. The heel is pretty stiff right now, but I noticed another reviewer who noted that her heel needed a good breaking-in period, so I am hoping for the same. My actual calf measures at about 14½" and is pretty athletic. I purchased the extended calf because I was having trouble finding boots in other brands that would fit comfortably over skinny jeans with boot socks peeking out the top. The Veronica fits well with my jeans and socks and is a little more slouchy with leggings. These are, without a doubt, the nicest, most well-made boots that I have ever owned.

These are a must buy! As a petite but fit woman, I've always had a difficult time finding boots to fit my legs. The shaft is shorter than most tall boots so the widest part of the boot hits the widest part of my calf resulting in a perfect fit. Comfortable right out of the box. Runs a little small and narrow, in my opinion.

These are my favorite boots! I bought the wide calf, because one of my calves is larger and they are perfect! I have the black and would like to buy the brown next. There is no break in time and the leather smells amazing! The cushioning on the bottom, makes these even more comfortable! I have worn these all day and had no discomfort!

After much trial and error, buying and returning several pairs of boots inferior to these, I decided to end the madness and go for the true quality for which Frye is known. I am glad I did. These boots are truly gorgeous. I got them in the Dark Brown. The leather is supple, yet substantial. I intend to do nothing but oil them when they need it, as I don't mind if they darken and keep their rustic look. I find the fit is perfect, with no slipping on the heel that others described, even with only medium-weight socks. I generally wear medium width, but have occasionally found some shoes that fit in narrow, so it is possible that these might be slightly on the narrow side. That's good, though, since good leather like this will ease and form to your foot with a few wearings. For me, these boots were comfortable right out of the box. The shaft is a great fit for my 14 1/2 inch calves. I had no idea my skinny calves were now considered too big for most tall boots! They are loose enough to easily fit over skinny jeans, but also look great with tights or big wooly socks. I can't say enough good about these boots. Yes, they are pricey, but if you've ever examined a Frye boot, comparing it to all the cheap imported boots available, you can see why. They are NOT carelessly machine-made or mass-produced. They are carefully crafted of quality materials, which makes them worth every penny. Go ahead and get these boots. You know you want them.

I have searched and searched for wide calf boots, with no luck and I hit the jackpot with these. Great boots, but I'm returning them because I ordered the wrong size. They are true to size, so don't go up. I needed a wide calf and these were actually a little too big. I love the boots, but I was looking for something a little bit dressier. If I were looking for casual, I would re-order these in a size smaller. The leather is so soft and smells wonderful. My calves are 17" and these were about a 1/2 " too big. Look great with jeans, but I was looking for something dressier and with a boot shaft that was a little less loose.

I cannot rave enough about these boots! I put them on and it was like a match made in heaven. I have tried about every boot on, and never been able to fit them on my calves. I don't have large legs (5'5 150 lbs), which confuses me because I see much larger women wearing boots comfortably. Either way, the leather on these boots was super soft. The color has enough "vintage" feel to be casual, but still sleek enough to dress them up. They felt like they were pretty true to size, and they do slide off your heel a little bit, but I think that's just part of the "slouchy" look (I have Uggs that do the same thing). They mold more to my foot every time I wear them, classic Frye boots that will last a lifetime!
