Dec 30, 2013 - Boots
The individuals who wore the first Frye shoes were people who valiantly labored, honing skill and craft, supporting their families and community. When homesteading sparked adventurous New England families to head west in the mid and late 1800s, many of those pioneers wore Frye boots along the journey.
By mail order, the company supplied thousands of brave soldiers and pilots with Frye Wellingtons, known as Jet boots. Frye boots traveled the world on the feet of American servicemen, from Normandy to Okinawa -- even General Patton wore a pair.
Today Frye's classic Harness boot holds a treasured place in American culture, and has been featured in international fashion spreads and enjoys strong sales all over the world. Frye's line still includes many styles based closely on their 1860 originals.
Despite Frye's reach and success as a boot maker, Frye's mission is to make the best-looking, hardest-working, longest-lasting shoes and leather goods -- hasn't changed since our days on Elm Street.
