I wanted some really good boots and It took me a while to decided which boots to buy but judging from the reviews I choose the Frye Veronica Slouch 77609 and took the plunge and bought them in two colours, black and taupe.  I am absolutely totally happy with them.  When I opened the box and took them out I could instantly see the quality, and loved the smell of the leather.  Also, from the reviews, I went a half size up, I normally wear a size 7.5 and have a very high arch, so I settled for the size 8M and they are perfect.  No problem getting them on or off.  And, so so comfortable.  Fabulous Boots!
