These black FRYE shoes were bought for my husband. It's just the first impression. Leather is not thin, but quite soft. Size is OK (10.5), my husband put the shoes on and was walking several hours at home and he felt comfortable all this time.
I understand that the first impression may be not enough, but now we think it's the great shoes as smart casual footwear.
The regular price is high, but I hope quality is the same level as the price.
