The Frye Company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a shoemaker from England. Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers for both sides of America’s Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-America war, and for Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Many New England families during the mid and late 1800’s wore Frye boots as they pioneered across the country to the West.

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 just got these boots today. I was worried at first that they would look too much like motorcycle boots, but now that I have them and tried them on with a variety of outfits, I don't think so. They definitely have that edgy kind of look due to the squared toe and harness - but not so much that you feel you need to have a leather fringe jacket to match. The heel height is great - tall enough to look nice, but not so tall you can't walk, and not too clunky. The sole is rubber covered so they are perfect in the icy weather. At first I couldn't get them zipped up all the way - I have kind of big calves - but the leather tops are very soft and after walking around in them for just 30 minutes, they stretched out enough that I could zip them up. After an hour I could get them zipped up over jean leggings. I bought my normal size 8M and they fit perfect. I really like that the heel is dark enough to go with the black leather, I don't like black boots with brown heels and soles.

These boots are stylish, supple, well-made and have a moderate heel comfortable enough for long wear. They hit mid-calf and the look is slightly Western which isn't for everyone, but paired with a feminine skirt they add just enough of an edge to look stylish without trying too hard. I've seen these boots on women ages 16 to 50 and think they look appropriate regardless of age. Frye is typicall very well made, however with this style I did have to order 3 pairs before finding one that wasn't "mis-stitched" at the zipper or top edging. I would expect better quality control for the price so deducted a star for that reason. I finally settled on the least noticeable of the flaws. I'm between 7.5 and 8 and went with an 8. They are a little big but I feel this is better in a boot.

I've been watching for this boot to come back in black, size 6. I finally asked & the Zappos agent said they weren't reordering this style in any size, which I thought was kind of strange and disappointing since it's a fairly new style for Frye on their website. So I ordered the brown because that's all that was left in a 6. Got it today & was excited to try it on. The leather is gorgeous but the foot fits strangely. It must be the angle of the heel as it puts all the weight on the ball of my foot, especially the left one, which was pretty uncomfortable. Also, the sole feels very stiff and inflexible, maybe the rubber sole, but my Melissa Harness boots have rubber lug soles and they are fantastic. I have slim calves and the shaft had some gap, but was not too terribly big around. I do like the shorter shaft since I'm only 5'2". But they have to go back because of the uncomfortable foot and I'm not crazy about the brown. Maybe will try these in black from Frye's website.
