Made in Brazil.The The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. Founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well-to-do shoemaker from England, and family-run until 1945, Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers on both sides of America’s Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-American war, and by Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. When home-steading drew adventurous New England families to the West during the mid and late 1800′s many of the pioneers wore Frye Boots for the long journey. Today Frye remains true to its roots with its line of heritage boots, but continues to innovate as it introduces chic new handbags, pumps, and sandals to its collection.
Customer Reviews
quality, quality boots
I have these boots, although I didn’t purchase them through amazon. They were my 2nd pair of Fryes and I love them. They fit true to size, and the leather is top quality.
great boot – a few gripes…
My first pair of Fryes!
I ordered the dark brown calfskin. They are a lovely deep dark leather, nice and tall (I am 5’6 and they come right up to my knee.
I really like these boots however I have a few gripes. I read another review somewhere where it was mentioned that the upper flap needs to be reinforced or else it will fan out on the sides, making it look wing-like. Upon just wearing the boots a few days, I realized this to be true. When I brought my 2 – day old shoes into the shoe repairman to have the reinforcement done, he tried to talk me into also replacing the soles. I declined, telling him they were brand new and that I wasn’t going to replace the soles of a brand new boot. He looked at the thinly soled bottom with skepticism and informed me that he would see me in a few months for repairs to them anyway.
And, sadly, he is right. The soles aren’t holding up very well and I do alot of walking around the city. This feel especially disappointing as Frye is known and respected for it’s craftsmanship and durability over the years – let alone months!
My final gripe about these boots are that my skinny jeans do not fit so well when tucked inside. The boots are fairly fitted to my leg, however with plenty of room for jeans. Unfortunately, my jeans just bunch up giving me serious baggy knee – a problem I don’t have with other boots. For me, these are better with leggings and dresses – and to that point, I really do love the way they look.
Not for short girls.
This wa to be my first pair of Frye boots and I went bold ordering them in cranberry, only to be disappointed when they got here. They are beautiful but way too tall for short girls I am 5′ 3″ and they were too big for my feet. I wear a 7.5 universally in all shoes. Not sure if it is standard to run big for Frye. Hopefully another style will work.
