Purchased these on sale from 6pm. I've never worn Frye before so I was a tad hesitant. I cannot speak to how well these will hold up as I have only had them for 2 weeks, but the quality is exceptional, the leather is high quality, and the design is sleek and versatile. These definitely can be worn for a night out or at work. The footbed is nicely cushioned so they're comfortable to wear for long periods of time. My only gripes iare they're somewhat large on me (but then again I do have thin, small feet) and that the wedge on the back will scratch somewhat easily.
