Veronica Flex Combat Boot

So I ignored other reviews about this boot being too hard to pull on and off, thinking so what, I have time and energy. Then I was going through security at airport and was instructed to take my boots off. The reviews were right, they’re so hard to get on and off. I took to a shoe cobbler and had him put a zipper in. After $100.00 dollars just to be able to wear these boots they weren’t a great price

i love this shoe. I read that the leather needed breaking in and it looks like someone did a little work on the size I purchased which is just fine by me. I wear a 9.5M and sized up and they fit wonderfully. Frye’s tend to run on the small side. These are the perfect balance between a chunkier lug sole and slimmer dress boot. The leather is stiff but it does soften to a beautiful soft black leather look without looking old and beat up.

The product photos look quite different from how they look when you put them on. I was expecting something a bit chunkier as a combat boot, but these are more refined.

Stylish and comfortable, soft high quality leather. She loves them.

They are not made in Mexico. They are made in India. Which is not a problem but the quality is not at the same level as my other Fryes (10 pairs at least) I am returning because the sole is rubber and the lining is plastic? Ew my feet were sweaty just trying the on. Return. Not as pictured ….

I have a slender foot but the boots are just right for my feet. Solid, stylish and great for every type of fit and occasion.

I had these boots before in a different color with the original half wooden, half rubber soles and I really loved them other than the fact that they were oddly slippery and off balance on one heel. With this new flex sole, it is definitely an upgrade. No more slipping and sliding, no more clunking around, and all with the same comfort and style as before. Way to go, Frye. You did good. And thank you, Nordstrom, for carrying them because ordering from Frye directly is a nightmare.

The boots look absolutely amazing, and the top-notch craftsmanship is obvious. Like most Frye boots these require a bit of a break-in period since the leather is a bit stiff at first. Some complain about the effort it takes to put them on and take them off… Well, those are not flip-flops or sneakers. These are high-quality lace-up boots, and they do require a minute or so to put them on. It’s worth it! Just make sure you get the correct size. Like with many types of Frye boots you might need to pick a slightly smaller than your usual size, then spend some time breaking the boots in, wearing them for short walks at first to let the leather soften and mold around your feet.

Awesome everything I wanted

Overall: LOVE these boots! A classic combat-style boot that can be worn with jeans, dresses, whatever. The black leather is beautiful. The rubber sole added to the leather on the bottom makes for softer walking. These are the kind of boots/shoes that will stay in my collection for years. Now to the details: Wore them outside of the house for the first time last night - 4 hours, on my feet - no blisters or rubbing. I've been wanting a pair of well-made leather boots and I think I've found them. To be clear, these boots will need time to fully break-in and conform to my feet. But I'm OK with that. Yesterday I wore them at my desk during the day while working before the 4 hours on my feet, to start the break-in process. The toe box is the stiffest part of the shoe; I believe my toes will be pretty well protected if I accidentally run into something. Regarding sizing: I ordered an 8; sometimes I'm an 8.5 in a closed-toe shoe - this time the 8 fits well. The 8.5 would have been too big. Note - my foot is narrow. I can wear M widths in most shoes but narrow is a better fit. This shoe - as of now, day 1 of wearing - seems to be on the narrow side of medium. The toe box area seems thin - meaning in height, from top of shoe to the sole, it seems narrow. Which works for me because my feet are thin in that direction. IF you have a wide and/or thick foot I'm not sure how this shoe would fit. If you have a high arch/instep, I think you will have to unlace these pretty far down the boot to get your foot inside. I don't have a high arch and I still struggled, unlacing the shoe more than I normally would. Again, after simply sitting all day with the shoes on, then on my feet for 4 hours - on the first day of wearing - these boots were comfortable, with no blisters or other concerns. And cute! Highly recommend.

Great quality and comfortable. These are true to size.

The Veronica combat boots are gorgeous shoes. I was sad to return them, but they too long to put on and I could tell the leather needed some time to stretch. I wanted to wear them right away. It you have the time and you love well crafted, leather shoes, then I would highly recommend them.
