these fit nicely, are constructed of what feels to be quality leather, and they look good.

They are not super dressy, and the edges of the soles are rough-finished with a rasp, so they look more like your well-loved cowboy boot soles rather than shiny-edged dress oxfords. This look would be quite alright for me, since I live in casual California and would be mostly wearing them with jeans anyway.

However, I ended up returning them. The left and right I got fit very differently (no I don't think it's my feet). Almost as if the insole on one were sunken in a bit on the heel. One of the shoes also had polish smeared on the edge of the sole. And the edges of the soles were a different shape from each other. Basically it looked like the left and right were made by different people at different times and they didn't really go together, and one was a bit sloppy looking. I imagine this is somewhat rare for Frye though.

I might order them again in hopes of getting a better pair. As they say, your mileage may vary (and Amazon does free returns on this item.)

-- update --

I bought another pair in black, with which I'm quite pleased. The soles on these ones are elegantly shaped (and symmetric), and the left and right fit about the same. One has a slightly different level of polish than the other, but this will even out as I wear and polish them myself. I would get them again. Very comfortable, with not too much support.

-- yet another update --

I've had these a month and a half, and worn them a dozen or more times, both to work and church. Comfortable, and breaking in nicely. However, the soles are dyed black, so when you scuff them up a bit they get ugly tan leather colored wear patches. I had a local cobbler stick vibram rubber outsoles on them, and now I like them even more. With the rubber soles they're great everyday shoes.
