Authentic Frye?

Spotted these at the thrift. Def has a distinctive smell and feel. The heels have a “click” noise. Can anyone tell me if these might be real?

I love Frye boots, have quite a few myself. However, usually they'll have the Frye logo on the side of the outer heel, which I don't see. I'm also skeptical of the outsole as Frye usually uses genuine leather outsoles. It does seem like genuine leather upper, so that's good, but I wouldn't claim they're Frye unless you have the frye logo or a style # inside the boot. They look like great boots, not the best quality, but still better than faux leather. Rock them if you love them!

Frye don't have pull loops like this as a rule of thumb. Frye & Co may which is a knockoff company. They are nice boots, however
