Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.
The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

I wanted a boot comparable to Red Wing's Beckman boot, and I found this style while perusing Zappos. I decided on these over the Beckman's because the Red Wing's toe shape was too round and clown shoe-like for my taste. I had tried the Beckmans on at a local Red Wing store -- they definitely oozed of quality craftsmanship, but I just felt that the toe shape was too retro/clown shoe-like. I debated a bit over buying American-made Red Wing or these Chinese-made Frye boots; the higher cost difference of the Red Wings wasn't really a factor. Out of the box, these boots were comfortable enough to wear the whole day, during the first wearing. They were just a tad stiff, but they conformed nicely to my feet and are easy to get on and laced up. I usually wear a 10.5 or 11, and I ordered the 10.5. Fit is great; no heel slip, good arch support, comfortable toe box, perfect width-wise. I really like the crepe sole just like the soles on Clarks desert boots; very quiet, comfortable and fairly long-wearing. The leather is tumbled to give it just a bit more texture than the smooth leather found on other boots, like the Beckman. This texture gives the boot a bit more interest, as do the antiqued brass hexagonal eyelets and speed lace hooks. Overall, this is a nice looking boot, not too retro/heritage-looking, but a nice, manly work/combat boot style. My only reservation is the leather laces. They look pretty nice, but I doubt they will last a month, the way I lace my boots fairly tightly. My experience with leather laces is they break after a few dozen times. I would say these Frye Dakotas look better than the Red Wing Beckmans, especially in the toe shape. The leather seems a bit more compliant right out of the box, too, and I really like the texture that tumbled leather has. The build quality seems on par with other boots in the same price range.
