anyone have the Frye 'Veronica Slouch'?

I saw that these come in wide calf, and apparently according to reviews people with 16" calves (my calf size) are having success.

Anyone have them? Are they cute in person? How do Frye's run size wise (I'm usually between an 8-8.5, probably closer to an 8.5).

I have a pair similar to that from many years ago. The soles are different and mine are a mustard color. I adore them. (I actually have to bring them over to the cobbler soon because they are due for a new sole.) The leather is buttery soft and they are like wearing slippers.

You should definitely try them on. Some Frye's run about a half size small and some don't. I am not one consistent size in my Frye's. Because the boots are essentially handmade, the sizes can differ a bit here and there. Keep in mind, though, they this is soft leather so they will stretch a bit.

ya..it looks like the wide calf is online only, so I may have to pick a size and order it and try it.

Can you order two sizes and return one? This is what I usually do if I am unsure and it's online only.

Also, I find Nordstrom's sizing advice to be pretty spot on. The shoes I bought recently, I was correctly advised to size up.

315 pretty much described my experience as well. I have them in blue with the newer sole and love them. The shaft on these is not as stiff of a leather as Frye usually uses since they are made to be a slouch boot. There is a short version that you may be able to find in store to see what sizing would be like for your foot. I love mine and get a lot of compliments.
