I have a pair of boots by FRYE which are soft and comfortable.  So, I expected the same quality.  This pair is made in China and the quality was not what I expected.  The leather is not as soft the other pair of FRYE boots, which was made in Mexico, I got before. There was a small, but visible scuff mark on one side and there were<br />a few areas stitching are not straight.  Even though it was half price, I don't see myself wearing this pair too often.  I'm returning them.
