I have the Janes and they are not exactly uncomfortable but not what I would wear if I had to walk anywhere. They are good for the office.
I have the Carson shorties and they are very comfy. I am having a weird issue with the heel - it doesn't feel like it is quite level, if that makes sense! But I wear them everywhere. The sole is showing a lot more wear than I thought it would since Frye's are supposed to last years. But I love them!!
eta - I had the Engineers and they were so hard and impossible to walk in. So it definitely varies by style.
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
― Marcus Aurelius
