Well made in the USA, good sole and arch support, sturdy ankle support, nice low heel.  Feel snug across the toe and I have narrow feet!  But, I assume they will stretch.  Everyone says so.  This is my first pair of FRYE's.  I appreciate that the boots were packed in paper products (not plastic or foam).

At 35, I am still into fashion, but less trendy, more pragmatic, and unwilling to suffer through cheap shoes that look hot.  I have a bad knee that prevents me from wearing most heels and my flat feet are growing ever more sensitive over the years.  Fryes and Danskos may be the only shoes worth wearing.

Amazon had the best price on 12Rs at $185 on sale (black).  I ordered half size down and wish I would not have. It is a bit snug.  Ultra fast shipping (2 days, not the 5-9 that I anticipated with Super Saver).  Glad I went for it after several years of Frye envy.
