This is my first Frye shoe. I heard so much about their comfort, durability, and style, I searched around for the perfect work shoe and found it. The heel is higher than I had originally planned, but it actually works with all my suits and after about four wears, I can keep the shoe on all day at work (where I'm constantly walking around, taking stairs, etc.) with no pain. They're just as pictured and seem very well made and durable. I'm going to be on the lookout for another pair of Frye shoes for work just to have some variety.
