It would be difficult to not love the footwear being produced by the Frye Company these days – the Frye Veronica Combat boot is a good example of why. This is a sort of meeting of function and funky providing ladies with a bit of an edgy look that is right in style and will add a stylish touch to just about anything. Right out of the gate it is available in quite a number of different versions of colors and there are both leather and suede boots to choose from. A good choice for a go-to boot this fall and winter of 2011. The retail price for this boot is about $250.
For those who love this boot yet would like to check over a few other lace up style boots with some similar features, here are a few to look over:
Frye Carson Lace Up:
Like the Veronica Combat, this boot is a lace up style but does not rise up quite as high on the leg, having a shaft height that comes up just above the ankle area. The Carson Lace Up is the work boot or combat style with a bit of a western twist. It has a sort of curvy look about it with a cute bumped toe and is the perfect 1800s retro look for a lace up boot. It has apparently taken off in popularity since its release this past spring and now there are quite a number of gorgeous rich colors that this boot comes in. It has a retail price of around $250.
Frye Dorado Packer:
The Dorado Packer boot from Frye is another new release for the fall of 2011. It, like the Veronica Combat, has a lace up style but with a smooth and more pointed toe. And get this: It has a kiltie in the front of the boot which is a completely new look for this type of boot but rocks it in style. The leather for this boot is of fine quality and has a gorgeous vintage appeal. This boot rises to about mid calf level and is a good choice if you are looking for a boot that could pass for either a bit rugged or a sleeker version for work or casual wear. It comes in a couple different color versions and has a retail price of around $400.
Sam Edelman Karla:
The Karla boot from the new 2011 Sam Edelman collection is not only an additional great choice in leather lace ups, it also has a more affordable price and could therefore be a better choice for those ladies watching their spending a bit more. It comes in both leather and suede versions, it has a classic and sleek look much like the Veronica Combat and is getting quite a bit of attention since its recent release. This boot has a retail price of around $150.
If you have any qualms about which of the boots to choose from the list above, I believe that the best pick is truly the Frye Veronica Combat boot due to the fact that the Veronica line has an incredible reputation for having looks that are so versatile yet so fashionable that women across the boards love them. However based on the study I did of women’s reactions to the entire list above, any of them would actually be a good choice and each one while having some commonalities also has its own unique overall look and features.
