The usual FRYE quality:  nice leather upper and sole. I'm a big fan of FRYE boots, but I don't pay full price for them.  They're nice, but I'm not sure they are worth $240-----I got a good deal on used ones.  The "tan" color is a nice faded light-brown color, and for some reason the boot has a retro/1970's feel to it (in a good way).  Like many FRYE boots, they run about a half size large----but that's mostly in length, rather than width.  If you have a wide foot, you might just go with your usual size.
