I was really hoping these Fryes would work, as I love the styling, but similar to other reviews, I found the heel to be too roomy, and felt like I was walking out of them. Otherwise, I found them extremely comfortable. I own 4 pairs of Fryes, and these were most comfortable from the get go, but I don't think I could get comfortable with the heel thing. The leather quality is good, and nice heel height, but unfortunately, going to send this pair back.
