boots review on Old Gringo Womens Lauren Stud I bought this boot from the warehouse section. They had been opened before, but for a discount of close to 50 percent I couldn't resist since I can't afford Fryes at full price. I have a hard foot to fit - size 9, high arch, wide foot and I haven't been able to comfortably wear regular height boots in quite awhile. Another reviewer noted that these worked for her with the same foot issues so I went for it. I have never done this before, but when I put them on, I did a little happy dance! Very comfortable! My high instep makes any boot hard to pull on, but these being short made it easier. I should note that I tried another style of Frye boot last year, another shortie, and that style was harder to pull on; I had to send it back. I like that there is no heel border to bend over inside the boot. They fit best with a medium sock (too thick and my wide foot feels strangled, too thin and there's some slippage). I'm a...

best boots review on FRYE Womens Campus Tall Saddle I don't think I can speak highly enough about these boots . They're my second pair of Frye's--had the same Campus Frye's years ago in a color that seems to be discontinued--the color Walnut. Those these in the 'Blazer Brown' are equally wonderful!!! The color, a deep, dark brown, is simply the most beautiful color EVER and the heel color is outstanding--a nice deep, dark brown too. What I like about these boots is that they seem to be made for my foot. It's like there's this padding that cushions and holds your foot in place. It's not just leather in there, but some kind of way that it's built, it just holds and hugs your foot. Looking at the info. card that comes with the boots , it's so great to see that Frye's are still made in the Great US of A!!! And that it takes over 180 steps to make these boots . I can't imagine another company going to these lenghths. Pleas...

best boots review on Dan Post Womens Anthem Light I'm hopelessly addicted to Old Gringo boots , and these are just gorgeous! This is my first pair of the Razz style, and I was concerned about them fitting my athletic calves. I bought them in my actual shoe size since this toe/style runs larger than other OG boots . They fit like a glove but were a tiny bit snug at the top of the calves, so I took them to my local boot store for a little stretching. As long as it's done gradually, the zippers won't be affected. These are much flatter in the arch area compared to the traditional OG cowboy style boots I usually wear (with either the zero or 4 long toe), but they are very comfortable and will not disappoint. The buttery soft leather and gorgeous embroidery are sure to make this my new favorite pair! Old Gringo boots are the best thing to happen to my wardrobe and always get compliments wherever I go. Well worth the money :) Get your Dan Post Womens Anthem Light N...

boots review on La Canadienne Womens Passion Leather I bought these equestrian-styled boots in place of rubber or fabric boots for walking in snow, and they have been fantastic. The heel gives some style and traction, but is low enough to be very comfortable. The fleece/felt lining inside makes it warm enough for outside, but not so hot that you can't wear it inside. Since the leather is waterproof, it is less supple than average, but the leather itself seems high quality and I think it is a little stiff because it is waterproofed. Overall, it is a very comfortable boot, and it being waterproof makes it very useful! I have thin calves, and can wear it with or without my jeans tucked in. The downside is that it will not fit someone with larger calves. The traction is average. Because the leather is on the stiff side, it wrinkles a little in the ankles, but it doesn't affect the overall style of the boot. I've gotten a lot of compliments, and my feet have s...

best boots review on FRYE Veronica Short Burnished Antiqued I already own 5 pairs of Frye boots and you cannot, find a better boot. I love Frye and I am a loyal customer. I had seen these in a store in Las Vegas and they did not have my size. The Black Stone Wash is awesome. It's totally rugged but when worn with a dress and tights they can be very feminine. I debated for a bit about this particular pair of boots because they were spendy. I ordered them after all and have not been disappointed yet. As with more of my Frye boots than not the inside sole with roll a tiny bit but even after years of wear not completely separate. I recently sent an older pair of Frye's back to them to be reconditioned for a small fee. The boots were shipped back to me looking completely new. Frye's really are an investment and the Veronica Shorties are well worth the money. Get your FRYE Veronica Short Burnished Antiqued Now!
