Hey everyone, hoping that Veronica owners can help me out with something. I bought a pair in an 8.5 not long ago, and after a few trials with blisters, they are great! The only thing is, they are pretty roomy and the heels do slip a bit when I walk. That said, they are pretty comfortable. When I bought these, I tried on an 8 and could barely get the widest part of my foot past the ankle part. When I took home the 8.5, I figured out that the ankle strap actually can help tighten or loosen the boots, and I didn't try that when I tried on the smaller size.

My question is, have you found the shoe part of the boot to stretch over time to mold to your foot? Do you think the roominess of my boots will be a problem, or maybe I'm wearing a half size too large? It's kind of a trek to go out to the store to try on the smaller size again, so I was hoping some other Veronica owners would have some advice. The boots I have are pretty comfortable and I like them so much I might buy another pair in the shortie version, but was hoping to do it online. Is this roominess and little bit of slipping normal? I'm used to having shoes that fit snugly, so this is new to me. Thanks in advance!

Well, I have found that western style boots slip a bit in the heel it is normal. I do not know if this is called for in Veronica, though my 2 pair do slip a bit. I am used to it because I wear a lot of Western boots. I wear a size 10 and I have to use a long (boot) shoehorn to get the boots on, then they feel fine when on. No way I can get them on without a shoehorn. If the smaller size feels good but you cannot get into it maybe you need a shoehorn. Maybe the smaller size will work once you "wedge" them on. Mine feel so perfect when on, yet I need the help to get them on. Just some thoughts. FYI they are easy to pull off , that is so weird to me.

^Thank you! I actually made the trek out to try on the smaller pair.

So, I guess my contribution to this thread is, if you think your Veronicas are a little loose, try on the smaller size and be sure to unbuckle the ankle strap :)

Guys and girls! Those of you who have the Jane 14L (stitch or without... ), how soft is the shaft? Is it slouchable? Can I force it to slouch? LOL

I suspect it may be big around my calves but I want to make it work.

Hi Dragonette! :flowers:

My Janes 14L are the Redwood with the Stitch and they are very flexible in the Shaft but what you have to remember they have a full leather lining in them.
Unlike say the Veronica Slouches.
Mine will Slouch but then again mine are some of my older pairs of FRYE's that I have had for almost 5 years and they have gotten lots of wear time!
The Best Part is they keep looking better all the time!
Well A picture is worth a thousand words as I say!
I Hope this is what you are hoping they will do! :ghi5:
