I got the tall Frye Veronica Boot in black leather, with a suede shaft.  They're great!  Nice, heavy leather, stitched well, with a shock-absorbing foot-bed and a heel that's not too low or too high.  They look like kick-ass, serious boots, and not thin, shabbily-made fashion boots.  I'm thrilled.  Frye boots are worth every penny.  I'm already planning my next pair!
