I got these recently, and have worn them several times already.  I love these boots!  They're well-made, and the leather is nice and soft.  They don't look like I'm wearing men's boots, and I think they look good with skirts and tights, as well as jeans and cords.  Frye boots cost more, but they're more substantial and expensive-looking than regular fashion boots.  I can see these lasting for years.
