FRYE Women's Veronica Harness Chelsea-SVL Boot - Stylish Leather Ankle Boots for Women, Comfortable & Durable - Perfect for Casual Outfits, Work & Date Nights

I bought this boot in the gray color, which is really a beautiful taupe. I adore that color, although I guess it's not for everyone. I also bought a 7.5 rather than my normal size 7 after reading reviews of how this boot tends to run a bit narrow through the toe box. Going up a half size was the right decision. The 7.5 fits me very well, but they are snug enough that I wear trouser socks with them. I adore the style, the heel height, and the quality of the leather. The zipper makes them very easy to get on and off. I like the fact that there is some stretch around the shaft, but that the stretchy material doesn't show because of the way leather strips are sewn into it creating an "accordion" affect. In my opinion, these boots are simply beautiful. I hate to take them off at the end of the day. But if you have medium-width feet like I do, I'd recommend going up a half size.At first fit seems tight but after wearing inside leather is so soft and stretches to mold your foot making these boots super unique! Love the color love the quality super happy buyer thank youFrye Veronicas run 1/2 size small - get 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. Most of my other Fryes run true to size. I love these boots! Totally cute, great neutral color (brownish grey) that matches everything. I am a Frye boot addict, and these were a nice addition to my collection.The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was that I feel like they are too long (or maybe not wide enough) for the listed size. I've purchased several pairs of Frye Boots within the last six months. They are consistent in their sizing but they are comfortable and stylish.I ordered my regular 7.5 in taupe. They are a bit snug. After hours of wearing them indoor on carpet, they are loosen up. The quality and craftsmanship are excellent. They are very well-made and sturdy as well. There is elastic material sew behind the stitch panel which makes the boots more flexible.I love Frye boots. They are a little snug but they are until you break them in. I've only wore them twice had some rubbing on the ankle with one foot the first day seems better the second time. They are breaking in as expected.I bought these in one full size larger to wear heavy socks. A half size larger would have fit fine with regular socks. Frye boots all run small on me. I always order a half size larger.Love the treads on the soles. That is an unusual feature for Frye boots.I wish they did more this way.Got these in the Gray and they're really more of a Taupe. Very comfortable after an easy break-in. The Gray/Taupe color is very neutral, nice close fit around the ankle so they work well with all jeans/pants styles. Love Frye and very pleased with this purchase. I would advise buying the Frye conditioner (Amazon carries it) Frye boots look even better after you condition them.
