haha yes they are frye. well the ones i got for christmas are the patty bootie in redwood... so they do have a heel and are more "dressy," i guess. i am in love with them, but they aren't suitable for snow. the other ones that are currently in my shopping cart in another tab are dark brown and part of the "lug" collection, so even though they're cute they have like work boot bottoms so i don't die in the snow and ice. so they are practical. and i know they last for ages. idk. they'll stay in my shopping cart a few more hours, i'm sure, and i'll either talk myself into it or out of it lol this is how i do most shopping.
