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.

There is a tradeoff between construction and style in footwear, and to excel in one, the other is typically compromised. I love the sturdy build of Red Wing boots and I will unload my paycheck on the perfect aesthetics of A.P.C. shoes. Somehow at a price substantially below what I feel these shoes are worth, Frye has harmoniously fused [nearly] bulletproof construction with timeless style. If you are looking for a leather-soled shoe that will take you to work, a wedding, and armageddon, look no further.

I was hesitant to buy these shoes because the cost is about double what I normally spend on shoes. I am definitely glad I spent the money. The shoes feel great and are only getting better as I wear them more and more. I am very happy with the shoes. I think they are pretty stylish too, although I am no style expert. Some of the white coloring wears off a bit after wearing the shoes.

These are well-constructed shoes, and incredibly stylish. As noted by another reviewer, the antique patina applied by the manufacturer wears off rather quickly, but provides a nice base for building your own polish/color. Unfortunately, these are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever owned. They provide little or no arch support and no cushion through the footbed. After standing in these while teaching for 3+ hours I suffer serious pain in my lower back and heels. If I were buying thee again, I would get at least a half size large to accommodate adding a serious insole of some sort.

One of my favorite pairs of shoes. They have the sturdy confidence of boots with the looks of an oxford. They take a while to break in, but I am happy to wait. These shoes have convinced me to get more shoes from Frye.

These are great shoes. You will command respect with these. They have a double thick sole that provides walking comfort and maximum life without becoming flimsy like thin soled department store shoes. Someone needs to issue a press release that thin-soled shoes are not cool, in fact, they are cheesy. Vintage American Style is finally coming back in fashion, and these are that. The only knock is that sides of the sole can become scuffed and show the light-colored leather... but can be re-stained easily. Frye shoes are the best value/quality. These may have some very minor imperfections. Yes, there are nicer shoes, but you usually have to spend much more to get them. The James Wingtip is not quite as wide and has a thinner sole but is still substantial enough that I purchased them, too.
