My Recommendation for Frye Cowboy BootsFrye Cowboy Boots
Frye cowboy boots have been worn by armed forces on both sides of the American Civil War. The Spanish- American war saw soldiers don the Frye boot. A personality no less than Theodore Roosevelt himself and his Rough Riders are said to have worn boots from this legendary brand. When New England folks moved to the West to settle down with all their belongings during the mid 19th Century, a lot of the pioneers chose Frye boots for the lengthy trip. After the introduction of the famed Frye Harness boots, everyone in the business was copying the design. The harness boots are entrenched in heritage and take inspiration from and remain popular with the US Cavalry. A well known anecdote relates an incident in 1938, when Frye’s grandson, John A Frye Jr. was told by a Navy Admiral in Washington DC, that he could not find a pair of Frye cowboy boots that he coveted. A skilled craftsman and manager, John Jr. made a pair for the Admiral. For the sake of personal goodwill, John took orders to deliver these famous boots throughout the Second World War. In fact, during this time, Frye furnished servicemen by the thousand with Frye Jet boots, familiar to us as the Wellington, through mail order. Frye Jet Boots enjoyed a time as the choice of the American soldier during World War II. Such greats as General Patton have worn Frye boots. To commemorate a hundred years of the Frye Campus boot, a popular line from the 1860s, the company launched them again in the sixties. This boot, with its outsized heels and hefty toes became the symbol of the particular fashion that defined the sixties and the seventies. Whether you knew it or not, Frye was all around you through the years. In fact, in the Smithsonian Institute’s display of the defining items of the USA of the 1960s, a pair of original Frye boots was chosen that can still be seen nowadays. Customers in the sixties and seventies would ask for the new and genuine Frye boot, and the ‘Rambo’ and ‘Rocky’ era of the eighties brought the macho guy image back into vogue, making Frye cowboy boots desirable again. As recently as October 2006 issues of magazines such as Shape, Men’s Journal, Lucky and Fitness have featured Frye boots. The classic Harness boot has become part of American social and cultural history, featured in photo shoots in the US and overseas constantly. It sees good turnover in Europe and Japan as well as America. A great pair of Frye cowboy boots is available for sale at the price of $200 to $250.
