Brand details for

The label was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye. This makes Frye the oldest continuously operated shoe brand in the U.S. Company founder John A. Frye managed the company for almost 50 years until, after his death, his family took over the management of the company. The history of the shoes made by Frye goes back to the Civil War when soldiers appreciated the solid boots he made - indeed the adventurous families from New England, that moved west at the end of the 18th Century, made their pioneering and long trips wearing them. Even at that time, boots by Frye were known as America's best footwear. The reputation was based on the excellent quality that still stands today. For 150 years the shoes of the label have been produced using traditional methods on the workbench. Only the best, naturally grained leathers are used for the upper material, while the soles are made of either leather or of very high quality rubber. Due to the careful attention that Frye devotes to every little detail, it takes over 190 steps to produce a pair of Frye boots. Not only qualitatively, but also in terms of style, his creations are timeless. From traditional "heritage" boots to the newer styles that are already considered as classics, Frye boots are timeless. From leisure to business shoes and evening wear: The extensive collections of Frye have something for everyone who is interested in shoe design that can be enjoyed for a long time. The historically significant design of the shoes were even noticed by the Smithsonian Museum that today shows a pair of Frye boots in its permanent exhibition.
