How does the Veronica compare with a Dr. Martens combat boot?

The Veronica is taller and warmer, with shearling and a sheepskin lining, while Dr. Martens boots are lower, lighter and easier to break in. Choose the Frye for cold weather and a dressier look.

Does the tall shaft fit larger calves?

The shaft is about 14 inches around, which is on the narrow side. Measure your calf before buying, since the leather has little stretch.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Yes for cold, dry days. The shearling trim and sheepskin lining insulate well, but slush and road salt will damage the leather and lining without care.

How should I size it?

Most shoppers take their usual size, but the boot runs narrow. If you are between sizes or have a wide foot, consider going up half a size.

How do I care for the leather and shearling?

Wipe off salt and slush promptly, condition the leather regularly and keep the shearling dry. Do not machine wash or soak the boots.
