Frye Boots Anyone?

[professorchaos]

Anyone else a fan of Frye boots? Well made, unique style and comfortable; I love 'em. My current line up:

And a third style they seem to no longer produce.

My current lineup of boots are the White's on the Left and Nick's on the right. Both wear great but they're pricey at 400 bucks a pair.

Frye is awesome. In Denver, where anything with buttons qualifies as formal wear, a good pair of boots is one way to be stealthy while putting forth a solid appearance.

Really like the look of my Marco Chelseas with some good denim. And the solid clack from the outsole help me keep proper time when playing mandolin. Also really like my full leather Frye sneakers. Those things are total stealth fashion. Every woman notices the unique quality at first glance.

We all wore these in high school in the '70s. I think they were under $100 at the time.

 

[BigRich]

I really like the fit and style but honestly I find them overpriced.

These are awesome, I need a pair of Frye boots now. I like the buckles

Man, Frye is a good brand, but the best boots of that kind i ever had are my Chippewa harness boots made by hand in the USA out of the American bison leather!I got them for 280 including shipping here and never regreted

I wear my old pair from time to time when I am on a construction site. Otherwise, I wear my cowboy boots.

FlatFork, I have to ask who is the targeted audience for that style of boot? For what type of activity are they designed?

Growing up in West Texas, I just find them comfortable. My boots are old. The older the better and more comfortable.

Understood, though I orginated in the NE part of the great state. What little lad (or even some lasses) don't learn to love the cowboy boot.

As Gary P. noted cowboy boots are

And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' a prize,
that some people call manly footwear.

Frye makes a good boot.

But for great boots my suggestion is three words,
Chippewa, Chippewa, Chippewa!!!

I found a place locally and the prices are reasonable.

Care to share the name of the place? I wouldn't mind branching out.

Wow! I wore those in the 60s! I loved them!

I kid you not, "David's" Shoes in Cambridge, MA.

It is on the street next to the Cambridge side Galleria Mall.

And no I'm not connected with the store personally etc.

 

[Stubblefield]

The only boot I wear is the Alden Indy boot. Easily dressed up or down, and they are as comfortable as slippers.

I thought this thread was for fans of Frye boots? I guess Chevy fans always post in Ford threads too.

Thank you! I'll be checking them out. Chippewa's have a great reputation.

I bought my first pair of Frye boots a few months back and I'm sold. If I could, I'd wear them all year round, but the summer makes it a bit tough. Just one more thing to love about the winter!

I also have the engineer boots Prof Chaos posted a pic of, except mine are black.
