Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my Veronica Slouch story and pictures. I bought a pair in 14R? Burnt Red last year because it was cheap but I didnt like the color. They sat around for a year and got kind of dirty in the hallway so the other day i decided to clean it with leather oil. As soon as i put the oil on, I discovered the leather turned a beautiful burgundy!! I was so shocked and excited so I ended up oiling up the entire boot and now my formally not very wearable red boots are a deep, luscious, gorgeous dark dark burgundy. The change is so drastic my husband thought I bough a new pair of boots! So if you guys are interested in home dying boots, try a leather oil to darken the leather. I also tried it on a pair of Veronica Slouch 8R in Sand and it turned to a lovely chocolate brown. I used Obenauf's Leather Oil which darkens most leathers; usually a pain in the butt but a great bonus here! The shoes also stretched soooo well with the oil so now my formerly squished toes are comfortable and happy.

The result looks beautiful! I wonder why Frye's burnt red colour looks so different on every style. Sometimes it looks brown, sometimes orange, sometimes red! In 5 days I will get to open my Christmas pressie --Carmens in burnt red. I'm hoping they will be as deep red as the stock peektures show, and not some sort of reddish tan!

Dragonette you look fab in your boots! Last night I stumbled on an online photo of frye boots, which turned into lots of Internet research.. And 2 hours later, I had purchased 3 pairs of fryes from Bloomingdales.com. Hope they fit! I used a 20% off coupon, yay :)

Does anyone here have the Frye Campus 14G boot? I'm seriously considering ordering these but have some questions. I've never owned a pair of Frye boots but have always wanted some. These are the ones that look similar to the Campus 14L but with a slightly lower heel and a rubber lug sole. I want a casual pair of boots that can be worn under regular jeans or with skinny jeans tucked in. I have foot problems and need to wear orthotic inserts. I keep hearing that Frye boots run about 1/2 size large? I'm thinking if I order my regular size, and if they run large, then there will be room enough for my insert and I won't have to order a size larger to accomodate the insert, like I usually have to do. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks...

I have Frye Campus 14l and they do seem to run 1/2 size large. I also have pair of 12R Frye Campus boots and they also run about 1/2 size large but more snug than the 14ls. Do not know if the 14g are the same.Probably they are.The Zappos reviews seem to agree that they run large.

Thank you very much for replying! :smile1: (I'm used to being mostly ignored and getting no replies, which is getting old and making me think I'm wasting my time and should leave. )
I appreciate the information. The 14G is basicly the same as the 14L but with a slightly lower heel and a rubber lug sole. Did your pair of 14L take a lot of time to break in? I've heard that sometimes they take awhile to break in and that wearing thicker socks helps make the break in time more comfortable.
I'll go ahead and order my regular size, and there should be enough extra room for my insert. I'm excited to get my first pair of Frye boots.

Hi Collie5!:flowers:
Im so Sorry that people have treated you that way here in this Forum! :nono:
The one thing I will say is that I can speak for this thread!:love:
And I have alway seen that if I dont post a reply.
It seems someone will always try and get an answer to that person about the FRYE Boots!
I think the reason this thread does a lot better at it is the fact that most ALL people regardless of how much they earn or have all Have a pair of FRYE BOOTS! :tup:
And No matter how old they get they just seem to keep lasting!
And I can Guarantee You that No CL's or Jimmy Choo's or any other High End designer Shoes or Boots will EVER take the Abuse and last as along and be able to be worn year after year and resoled and heeled and still be in fashion for as long as FRYE's Have!
The first Pair of Frye Campus 14L's I ever got was in Banana and that was in 1977 and I think I paid $20 for them Brand New...
That was 35 years ago and they still make that pair!
But Yes you should be just fine in getting your regular size and Yes FRYE's will stretch to form to your feet!
Like I warn everyone that comes to this post.....
Be careful as FRYE's Have a Habit of Multiplying like Wabbits!
And we would L:love:VE for You to post Modeling Shots of them and what you like or dislike about them always post your Honest feelings in this thread! :ghi5:

I don't have the boots you mentioned otherwise I would of answered. Also I turn off notifications due to excessive email, also most posts in this shoe forum are for high end shoes which I don't buy.

I don't own CL's and most likely would never pay that much for shoes so I do tend to only check in here once a week or so. I know it's awful when forums or boards are cliquey.

Awww...thank you so much for your wonderful post and for the information! I ordered the boots and now I can't wait to get them. I ordered them in the brown (lighter brown, not the dark brown) and in my regular size, so hopefully they will fit with the inserts in them. I know Frye has been around a long time and has a great reputation, and I think you are correct about their quality, especially compared to the high end designers you mentioned. I don't mind paying extra for quality. Again, thank you so much for your reply.

Thank you! Yes, I have found this board to be VERY cliquey. I did find one or two threads on other topics where a couple of people replied to me, but for the most part, I seem to be a "Thread Killer". Once I post it seems the threads shut down.
I have some foot problems so finding comfortable shoes that are fashionable is a challenge. Also, I am not a person who works in a setting where dressy clothes and shoes are appropriate (I work in a veterinary clinic), and I'm not a dress up person anyway. The most I usually dress up is when I wear a nice suit in the dog show ring showing my dogs. I'm not sure I would pay the kind of money for the CL's etc. even if I did have occasions to wear that type of shoe. I'm way more comfortable in jeans and boots. Thank you again for your reply!
