I'd been looking for a boot that could be resoled, and had the potential to last for many years. I had been looking at Frye's based on their reputation, and found this style, which I really like. Amazon marked them down enough that I could manage to pay for them, so I went for it.

The boots are beautiful, and appear to be sturdy and well made. They are lighter weight than they look, don't have much arch support, and are only lightly cushioned inside. However, since I ordered 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, (which turned out to be a good thing because I don't think my regular size would have been long enough), there is enough room to add an insert to amend these issues.

I've only worn them a few times, and they are taking some getting used to. (I'm used to Dansko clogs...) But I'm looking forward having them this winter, and walking many miles in them once I adjust to how they feel.
