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.

Be careful when you buy these boots because when you do...you will want 10 more pairs of Frye boots. These are amazing. I got the black and ordered my normal size (8). They fit amazing! They look so great with skinny jeans and leggings. The leather is so supple and I can tell it will only get better with time. These will last forever! Big investment but if you are looking for great black riding boots, you will not be sorry.

These are my first pair of Frye Boots. I'm 5'2" with skinny calves (13 inches). These boots hit 1 to 2 inches above my kneecap (unfolded). They hug my calves just right, not too loose with skinny jeans, so I don't look like I'm playing dress up. The leather feels and smells exquisite - now I know why Frye is so expensive!!! I was hesitant about ordering which size, since reviews say "order half size down or up" so I just ordered my usual 7. I have narrow feet, and I still have about one inch allowance for my toes to move. With these boots, my heels don't lift inside the boots, which is good, because I had that problem when I tried on the Frye Dorado in the store. So far, the ankles haven't dropped or become slouchy. The only thing I don't like about these boots is the sole. I had to put on those traction stickers, so I don't slip and fall on slippery surfaces. Overall, I'm in love with these boots!

As all the reviews note, this is a beautiful boot. I am very sad to be returning it, because I know I won't find anything of better quality. I planned to wear it with short skirts and mini dresses, and it's just not right for that look--the over-the-knee style makes the leg look like a tree trunk. With jeans or leggings these would be fantastic.

I'd also recommend: Chie Mihara, Cole Haan

These boots are gorgeous! I'm 5'10" and the size 10 boot was plenty long. It fits perfectly over my knee and looks great up or folded down. The boot scuffs easily, but is equally easy to polish back to perfection. I'm very happy with my investment! I like the close fit around my ankle. Very sexy. Received tons of compliments during my first outing in these boots.

I'd also recommend: Hush Puppies, Nine West

Just got these and I am amazed at how stylish these look on and the wonderful quality of materials and workmanship! The leather is buttery and sturdy with a flattering shape. i was debating between these and the Stuart Weitzman 50/50 for a sleek OTK boot and so glad I chose these. They have a narrow shaft (which I wanted) so it is slimming to my medium width calves. Plus, I believe they are waterproof, though I’ll still treat them, so they are great for wet weather. The Stuart Weitzman's are gorgeous, too, but they cost more and half of that is paying for an elastic fabric backing. No regrets with the Frye Shirley!

I'd also recommend: Ugg, Stuart Weitzman
