The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. Founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well-to-do shoemaker from England, and family-run until 1945, Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers on both sides of America's Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-American war, and by Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. When home-steading drew adventurous New England families to the West during the mid and late 1800's many of the pioneers wore Frye Boots for the long journey. Today Frye remains true to its roots with its line of heritage boots, but continues to innovate as it introduces chic new handbags, pumps, and sandals to its collection.

I ordered two pairs to get one that I liked. The first pair had some blemishes, but the second was more or less perfect. These shoes aren't cheap, but the additional quality over typical FRYE shoes is evident and their Shell Cordovan comes from Horween which is unheard of at this price point. Horween shell is almost aself healing material--you can work out scratches and scrapes with a little work. Rocado shell isn't as good (though shinki shell is). The cigar color is also stunning.

The leather soles are thicker too for their cordovans, the stitching cleaner too. Unlike other I Fryes these hold up in quality vs. Allen Edmond's shells and aren't too far behind Alden's shells.

Basically for 2/3rd the price of shell seconds from other brands you get an amazing shoe. Fantastic buy. Even at full price you could worse.
