Along the same lines, I ... pretty average calves - not tiny, ... rarely ... trouble with any ... not fitting over ... - and I never need a wide shaft ... come close to being too tight (just barely enough space to cram jeans in with no room left over), so if your calves are bigger, you may not like ... 4.

Super comfy footbed and arch support; size description is wrong. These ... have a very comfy footbed, especially great built in arch support (I've got super flat feet and always searching for shoes with decent arch support).

Not a great fit Very cute ... very difficult to get on not a wide enough opening as others have described, even with thin socks. These will be going back.
Love these boots! I wore these boots to work (10+ hours) as soon as I got them and they were hands down the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. They felt broke in, like I'd had them for years. I'm so in love with these ... plan on wearing them all winter with skirts and skinnies. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
Riding boots I am wearing my new Timberland Riding boots today and love them. They were a little tight this AM but as the day goes on they are already stretching out over my foot. I like the adjustable buckle at the top of the calf so I can wear jeans tucked in or have them tighter for wearing only tights. They will scuff a little but I like the worn look.
Great quality, wish it fit TTS I usually wear a size 7 so I ordered these in 7.5 hoping that I could wear them with thicker socks. The boots were beautiful. The suede didn't bother me, as I was focused on the simplicity of the style, shaft fit, arch support, and practical tread. Unfortunately, the toe box was simply too narrow for my relatively wide feet. I could have worn them with tights, but not medium or thick socks. Returning.
The medium width heel ran a bit wide, the toe box, not a lot of height, but that being said - I normally take a size 11, and ordered these in that same size. I tried them on immediately, and will be able to wear with a medium weight wool sock. They definitely don't run short; I think they're true to size. They're a little stiff around the ankles. The slouch on the calf is fine - can accommodate more than a skinny jean - which is nice (and my calves aren't all that tiny). Will look great with a skirt. I ordered the dark brown, and am glad I opted for that color rather than black, as they look far more expensive than they were. If they break in the way I think they will, I'll update these to a 5 star.
Nice ... The boots fit great, a little narrow though. The leather is nice, but the suede could have been better. They do slouch a little in the calf area. Also the ... looks like its been around, like people have been trying them on. Plus they were placed in the box poorly, could have made it more sturdy. But the price was good, so I purchased. Again nice ...

boots Really like the boots, but wish they were tighter around the calf. The buckle on the top can be adjusted, but then it looks all "bunchy" and the end flaps out (so I glued the end down with super glue!!)...
I really wanted to like these, but... These boots were just too tight. Not so much that I could've gone up a half size, but the top of the boots on my feet seemed to be made for someone with a lower arch, I guess. I also didn't like that the suede part made the boots more slouchy/loose than I would have liked. I want a ... can stand up on it's own, not one that I'd have to pull up each time I stand up from sitting. They did fit my calf perfectly. I liked these boots a lot! Until I put them on... The fit just wasn't right...now have to return these, too. Alas, my quest for the perfect boots continues...

Not for y''all big calved gals These rainboots were absolutely awesome. the color the fit. that thing i read in all the other reviews about them not being as shiny/glossy as they appear in the photos, who cares! they look good either way! the only problem which was that many reviews said the calf part was nice and wide, but it wasn't wide enough for me. i have big calves (all muscles, of course :) and these ... just did not work out in the shaft area. i mean i can get them on and up. but then they are like a latex gloves, i literally had to peel them off.

About the Sizing. . . This is for any of you out there wondering about which size to get. Warning: sizes sell out fast so you may want to order 2 and send one back! After trying many pairs on, here it is: If you are between half sizes the Frye website actually tells you to order a size down. Instead, I chose to follow the reviews I read all over that said to order a size up on this style. I usually wear a size 8.5 & sometimes a 9 in running shoes, so I ordered a 9. It would have worked IF I wanted to wear thick socks (like hiking socks), however the calf was a lot larger too (my calf size is 12.5 inches) and they didn't look right (the two different buckles can be adjusted to smaller/larger but on the smallest hole they look really wrinkled/weird). The actual measurement difference between sizes is only a few centimeters but it is amazing how much of a difference it makes. Luckily, there were still 8.5's left and those were perfect for me. I like the feel of a knee high sock with them and most of those type of socks are pretty thin. As far as comfort with a thin sock they are perfectly comfortable right from the start. Also, the leather in the foot area will stretch slightly. The Frye site also says that heel slippage is normal and will stop after awhile. It hasn't bothered me. I have a flat foot so they are so easy to put on but someone with a high arch might have a harder time. As far as the calf circumference- they could be even a little smaller for me- but they look fine with skinny jeans and okay with skirts. With a small calf, they don't really slouch unless you push them down. The quality is beautiful (although I had to send back one flawed pair in the process). They sole can be resoled in the future so I know I will have them for many years to come. I wish Piperlime had the Frye Leather Conditioners. I get compliments every time I wear them. And that is the end of the longest review ever.
Veronica Slouch I love these boots! I had to order the wide calf, but they are fantastic. They go with everything! It did take about a week to break the heel in, (got blisters on the back of my heel/achilles area) but once they broke in they're perfect! I wish they had a little more traction, the soles look like they'd be less slippery, but living in an area with snowy winters, these boots slip more than I'd like. Overall, a great ...
buy these boots My husband bought me these boots 6 years ago in the slate. They are probably my favorite pair of boots and I have many, many pairs of boots. They look great with everything!! I usually wear a 7.5 but ordered in an 8 (I tried them on locally in black) they were a little hard to get on the first time, even had to unbuckle at the ankle. They took no time to break in and talk about durable, the quality is excellent. I stand on my feet all day as a hairstylist and they are super comfy. I have worn these boots doing the hands on renovation of my salon, working all day, and even had a spray paint can leak silver paint all over them, thought they were ruined. I cleaned them off with paint thinner, which made them stiff and white and chalky, but a little saddle soap and they looked even better than new and softer. I constantly get compliments on them, the more distressed they get the better they look.
Great ... Finally after 1 1/2 years, I've got them. The wait was worthwhile. The boots went on with ease. I wear a 9 1/2, I ordered the 10 and the fit is quite comfortable. I can wear heavy socks and feel unrestricted. I have a thick calf, and I got these on with ease and still have wiggle room to work with. The footbed is cushioned and therefore very soft. I did the plastic bag trick and my feet slid in with ease. Now eying the stonewash for something different! Ladies, this is a great ... last you for years to come. Enjoy!
MUST HAVE BOOTS! I own these boots in slate, and I wear them ALL the time! They go with everything and look so stylish and beautiful. There was a brief breaking in period with these, but now they fit like a dream and are sooo comfortable. I love FRYE, and these boots live up to the quality and style that you would expect from Frye. I get compliments galore on these boots! I don't think I could live without them.
Wonderful shoes I was so nervous when I tried on this pair of boots. Almost all previous reviews have told me that how hard it is to pull it on. So I carefully sat down and set aside 5 mins to pull it on. But wow! You just can't image how easy it is to pull it on, much easier than UGGs, than boots with side zip, easier than any other boots I've ever tried. The amazing part is that the shoes won't slip once it is on. I ordered size 6, my normal shoe size, and it is perfect fit. The leather is so soft and it can't support it itself if you let it stand on its own. But when it is on you, it won't slouch around your ankle like other boots. If you like slouch style, you might just play with it since leather is buttery like material. I just don't wanna mess with it and like the way it is now. The color I got is dark brown, it is similar as the picture in website, just a little darker. It is an absolutely pair of low key but high quality boots. Now I am eyeing on other FRYE boots, just can't be satisfied with the fact that I am only owning one pair of boots from FRYE!
So comfortable! I love these boots so much. They don't need any breaking in - I wore them all over downtown Denver in the snow and they were incredibly comfortable! They also look cute - a little wide in the leg, but I tucked in my jeans and they were perfect. These were my first Frye boots, and I will definitely be buying Frye again the next time I need boots!
Great Boots!! I have been searching for the perfect boots and I have finally found them!! I love these boots!! I just got them and they are pretty comfortable, but I think, after reading other reviews, that they will continue to get more comfy as they get broken in. They do feel like they may run a half size too small. They just feel a little snug in the heel. I think it might be that they feel "short" because the heel is more narrow than some other boots I had tried on. I do recommend these boots!
Awesome quality ... These boots are absolutely gorgeous in person. The weathered gray color is great and the leather is supple and rich. I wear a narrow width shoe so unfortunately these were too wide for me and I had to return. The quest continues...
always love fryes as soon as i saw this ... knew i had to have them...i went with the brown thinking that they would last longer fashion wise than some of the other colors. The boots fit well and run true to size. They (as fryes normally are) a bit stiff in the foot, but the slouchy calf portion is really comfortable and easy to pull on over skinny jeans. Really well made. Get many compliments!
These boots are beautiful BUT... These boots are absolutely beautiful. After a year of lusting after them, I finally received them in the mail yesterday. The leather already has a worn in look and feel to it, and I fell immediately fell in love with them........ until I tried to put them on my feet. This is my second pair of Frye's. I also own the Paige Tall Riding in a size 8, which was a perfect fit for me from day one. After reading other customer reviews, I ordered the Veronica Slouch in an 8.5. When I tried to put them on, I had a very difficult time shoving my heel into the ... Once I got them on, I could feel my toes beginning to fall asleep. The problem with these boots isn't in the length, it's in the tightness of the ... around the bones in the top of the foot (this is also what causes difficulty in putting them on). The strap is adjustable, but it's purely decorative. I wore them around the house for a couple of hours last night hoping the leather would stretch a little bit. I haven't decided yet whether I will return them or keep them and hope they will stretch out with wear. I really wanted to love these boots, but they may have to go back.
