How Frye Boots are designed and made -
As the oldest continually-running footwear company in the United States, the Frye Company has seen their boots and shoes live through Americas most historical times. Early American settlers worked the land in Frye’s, the cavalry of the Civil War fought in Frye’s, and they were worn on the feet of four star generals of World War II. Nowadays General Patton isn’t the famed folk to wear a Frye. They’ve walks the streets on celebrity feet from New York to LA.
The history of Frye ---On March 10, 1863, John A. Frye opened the doors of a small shop on Elm Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The shoes he made served a simple purpose: to provide honest, durable footwear for the residents of the small New England town.
In time, Frye’s family would grow and The Frye Company would expand, becoming artisan manufacturers. Each generation of Frye craftsmen dedicated themselves to the art of shoemaking, creating new patterns, discovering new materials and even inventing shoe-making machinery. The dedication to crafting footwear as functional as it is durable has been the Frye company’s benchmark ever since.
Frye’s history and heritage is told in every stitch of the shoes Frye has made for 150 years, across cultural shifts and changes in tastes, for generation upon generation. Now, Frye boots are worked and roughed up on country roads and city streets, and chosen above all others for their enduring style and uncompromising quality.
Despite Frye’s reach and success as bookmakers, their mission has not changed since their days on Elm Street - to make the best-looking, hardest-working shoes with enduring style.
Today Frye boots and shoes can be made in plants around the world, but the classic Harness is still made in the USA - in Addison, Arkansas.

Just ordered a pair of short calf zippered square-toed, in Cognac, for my 71st birthday, my last pair lasted me twenty five years, my brother still wears em when he rolls his Harley.
well-made boots never disappointed you right sir?
My Pop's had a pair back in the 1970's and I couldn't see anyone wearing those boots out, I don't know what ever happen to them because they had enough leather to make something out of them after the soles every ran out. He might have very well made something out of the leather after he wore the boots out.
Wow! I had no idea how much work went into making these boots. I bought my first pair of Frye boots in 1965.
Very cool!
The lady cutting the leather has pictures of her children it shows her love for them it's beutiful
This is some untamed yeehaw right here. I'm lovin' it!

I might have cut the weather for them I'm not sure I work for Fry's as a cutter at that time
I want to buy this how should I buy
I personally own 23 pairs of Frye boots and two pair of the new sneakers! Only boot I'll wear. Bought my first pair in 1979.
Impressive.
There ain't noth'n like a quality boot ....♥️
Good ole American craftsmanship
ELJoseNova the way it should be
How much does a pair cost?
I work for fries back in the sixties in the seventies in the 80s
@@arzooothwal9934 Anywhere from 300 dollars to 700 dollars.. I' own a pair of beautiful camel suede boots.
I bought my first pair of Frye Campus 14 L's in 1984, my second pair in 2013 and my third pair in 2015. I love them! People don't call them cowboy boots, they call them Frye boots! There an icon! Dave...
Very cool, Dave! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Thank you! Dave...
When I wore mine on a camping trip, some kids let their fire get out of control and started a grass fire. We spent more than an hour beating it down and because I was wearing my boots, I ended up stomping the bushes out that were impossible to put out with a fire beater. Their was no damage at all to the boots after a good coat of wax.
I enjoyed listening to the boot makers talk. I live in South East Tennessee, and would have no problem carrying on a conversation with the people in the video, we speak the same language.
Just got my first pair of harness boots and i love them so much. So comfortable right out of the box. I see myself owning at least a pair or two the rest of my life.
Can you tell me how do they fit?
Do they fit true to size?
My favorite boots of all times are from Frye.
I've had three pairs of Fryes over the past 15 years. Still have all three of them. Getting ready to send the first pair off for resoling. Thousands of miles on these boots in all kinds of weather. I've got more confidence in Frye than I have in any other riding shoe I've owned.
I still wear the Frye Engineer's boots that I got in 2005. They really are exceptionally comfortable and durable.
Ray. He’s a “Sole Provider” get it?
I enjoyed the video.
theuse aerr som niice beuuts
Pooh on your making fun of regional accents. I like hearing differences.
Best of the best! Love Frye boots!
I have a Frye boots and LOVE IT SO MUCH💖
I have two pairs of harness boots and they are amazing!!! So comfortable!!!! Worth EVERY penny!!
Have many pairs of Frye harness boots….even a red pair. Been wearing them for much more than holidays these days. It’s the fit and the way they look when I look down at them. Make my Fred Flintstone feet look slim and tapered. Tons of toe room.
2 pair of Fryes, one harness bought in 1980, and a pair of cavalry boots from '81. Like wearing moccasins, so comfortable and never tire my feet. I did get the heels lowered as they are made too tall.
I have four pairs & they’re the best boots ever, a bit expensive but worth it
I remember back in 1983, i was 16 and i bought my first pair, loved them so much.
One more thing I want to say about 25 and I work for them I was a cutter I Mister island on the company Mac McDonough was the company manager and Joe Lawrence what's the floor manager at that time was great company work fun I work for them for 30 years makes me happy to see that they're still in business today
Awesome craftsmanship love to have a pair
I'm in love with my FRYE BOOTS. NICE VIDEO.
I have a vintage 70s pair of Campus boots.
Very high quality boots. Appears to be top or full grain leather.
The new stuff is a shadow of its former self, using inferior sourced leather, and labor out sourced to other countries.
One more thing I like to add I did all these jobs as shown on this film now I'm old and I wish I was still doing this kind of work Frye boots are great they always will be when I work there the man that own the company his name was Mister Island there's a good person
I bought a pair of Fry's Harness boots after seeing them on the show "The Vampire Diaries" being worn by one of the main characters. They give off the right look and vibe. So manly and high-quality.
All my boots are Frye... love them❤️
Excellent video and boots!
I wish Dayton Boots had a video like this.
Cheers!
I was a leather cutter when it was in Marlborough Mass I love that kind of work I was unhappy when they moved out there are good Corporation this is in the 1970s
When I was a teen, jayzuz years ago , I had a pair of harness Fry's. Then were tan and a bit taller than what we see here. They were great boots, which I wore for years. This was back when the company was in Marlboro , Ma., a couple of towns away from where I lived.
Handmade boots like these are worth their price because they’re well made.
You need some then. amzn.to/2OUSYuN
Love their accents
Still have a pair I bought in NYC in 1994...
Yeah I got a pair of Jacob Engineer boots and once broken the quality is a amazing you never want to take them off.
I’d love to work with the scraper Guy
17 century french millitary boots
I love Frye! Great products
P I work for Fry's in the 1960s and 70s and the 80s I was a cutter
Frye Men's 8R and 12R Harness Boots are the BEST. They're durable, their style is timeless, and are favored by those possessing swagger and confidence, with a healthy dose of "I-don't-give-a-fuck" attitude thrown in for good measure. No wonder, then, that not everyone could pull off wearing a pair.
I like to buy one if I were to get my ass back in the States.
T hank you for the production of these boots, as we Asian people also use these products, only short boots should have more sales.
I'm saving up for a pair... They look awesome!
Frye is a symbol of perfection.
I bought my 12" Harness boots back in 2004. Can't tell where they were made but I have another pair of Frye boots that were made in Mexico.
soopa doopa the Frye boots made in Mexico are made to quite a high standard, from materials to construction. Frye boots are just awesome boots.
I have 3 pairs of boots and 1 bag. Since was not easy to get this brand in Europe with special price, so I bought them all in once when I have occasion 5 years ago and still my fave leather boots until now.
ONLY THE BEST BRANDS!
Beautiful boots!
My pair of harness boots are used almost everyday in a cattle farm it is great. Worth them almost 300 bucks
I prefer boots that have actual tread on the bottom so I can walk around without worrying about slipping on anything. 👍
Walk with your heal... I dont slip in mine
@@mouth884 Heel. Heal is what doctors (are supposed to) help you do.
SalandFindles I am the same way. You can get Frye boots with urethane tread. They went with leather on these to be retro I suspect.
When we burnt the stubble, leather soles were far better for walking across the burning embers and stomping them out before we went home.
Well if you tryin some boot scootin boogie you want smooth soles so you can slide
Best boots. Period.
Used to wear Red Wing Pecos boots, awesome. I had a pair of Frye square toed boots, wonderful.
I've got a pair of 150th Anniversary Engineer 12R's that are proudly made in the USA. Another pair of my Frye's (Phillip boot), is made in Mexico but another pair of my Frye's is actually made in China! They all appear good quality construction though I guess, sadly most are not made in USA anymore.
When a company take their management and machinery out to China, they can produce exactly the same quality at a lower cost. It is companies who purchase goods on the Chinese open market that end up with all the rubbish. The irony is that as China expands its economic growth, workers expect higher living standards and wages are rising. The time will come when the savings will no longer cover the transport costs. It will be a good day for America and western Europe.
I’ve had my frie boots for over 15 years. Changed the heels only once.
Will have to buy a pair
Frye boots are beautifull. I just love how these southerners say " boot". Rhino is also a great boot except the ones made in china.
Most of the boots are made in China. As Steven T stated "The Frye Boot company is now owned by a Chinese conglomerate." That doesn't surprise me. The owners probably became tired of boot making, and decided that a few hundred million was a good price for an exit strategy.
The engineer and basic boots are made out of the US, but the 'harness' boots will always be made in the USA. I would know.
I think I'll find another company making another style other than the very western looking Harness boot.
Feel free, but I promise you that you will not find a better constructed series of boots. Only the low tier are made out of the US.
JohnnyinCLE yes I know budd, fryes r made the best . I don't care too much for the styles though. jus seems like thery r too perfect
Southern is the real heart of USA for me as a foreigner
How's the weather Carolyn Frye boots in Marlborough Massachusetts back in the 1970s was a good job I wish they never moved but I love working for them
Ive owned several pair of Frye boots. I have a pair of the Americana engineer boots , original 1970s campus/harness boots with double leather soles and stacked leather heels, and a pair of brown engineer boots. I can l see the difference in quality materials and workmanship is definitely better in the vintage 70s boots. Leather is thicker, triple stitching, leather seam reinforcement, real stacked leather heels like I mentioned before. I guess they have to buy thin overly thinned imported leather to make a “profit” I’ll pay for quality. People want quality over quantity period.
Found a pair of vintage frye black lable 2278 campus boots at a thrift store for $10.
I watched it again you know you're making the boots are almost the same way as we made it back in the 60s and the 70s and the 80s I work for Frye shoes in Marlborough Massachusetts when I work for them a man named this to island on the company
Beautiful shoes
I work for Friday when they were in Marlborough Massachusetts doing the 1960s and the in the seventies those look like the machines that we had in Marlborough I was a leather cuter I listen to this man and he knows what he's saying Frye boots was good then and now
this looks to be a very high quality product
I used to do the edge trimming when the company was in Marlborough Massachusetts I did it for 20 years if you are fast at it you can make good money and at that time it was all piecework it was a sad thing when the Frye company moved out of Marlborough Massachusetts because of that 300 people lost their jobs
Frye is an okay boot. If you want a better boot nothing beats, White's boots, Nick's Boots, Frank's Boots, Wesco boots, Drew's boots or Viberg out in Canada. Those companies mentioned above just have a higher notch of craftsmanship, all American made and hand lasted and hand welted. Better thicker leathers too.
SLP>all
Best boots ever
I have purchased over 20 pairs of Frye boots, honestly, lost the count. I don’t regret it. Now, I like to know if it’s true the company was sold? Lately, a lot of their shoes are made overseas, very few made in the US. Also, their inventory is getting smaller and smaller. I don’t know what is going on. It’s kind of sad.
I like these boots
I just got a pair of frye boots (not the special edition ones, theyre Harness 12R's) from a consignment shop that had them on sale for $25 and I just thought they looked cool, but now I've never been more excited to find a pair of used dirty boots
I say used and dirty, but they look pretty good, just aged. They were definitely well taken care of
I wanna a boot like that
Great job
Doesn't ALL leather have pores that make it breathable? Also, most Frye boots have either leather soles or combination leather and rubber soles.
I work for the original join a private corporation in Marlborough Massachusetts at that time this island on the factory I work for them them for about 20 years Alberto Culver today I don't know who owns anymore all I can say is thank God is still in business
Ita a masterpiece for Frye 8R men boots
i got the belted harness 12r chesnut boots. love them!!!
Essa marca opera no Brasil?
No Dought Frye are a part of Americana ! I remember how proud i was of my first pair i wore them so much they. Were just plain Wore out after 20 plus years and my first wife asked if i could please get rid of them as we were tight on Storage space in our first home I reluctantly did She and the Boots are gone and I sure do miss them Boots LOL in reality me and ole whats her name have been Happily Divorced for over 30 years now
Those were are brothers and sister working in America! God bless America; that's right,!
Love my Frye engineer boots. Just ordered the amaricana version. Is it true they are moving out of the U.S ?
Do a video on White's boots.
Como que eu faço comprar uma dessa aí
Gostei muito
Aqui no Brasil não tem esse modelo
Hii ..from India I want that type of boots. Because here is no manufacturer like that.. plzzz tell me how to order?? Please reply
I like this black boot so much, but how can I bought this one n what it's price????
Só queria que tivesse essa marca no Brasil.
i want one pair of frye boots.
Big deal back in HS. Must have been the first Ralph Lauren try at making western look cool. Of course I had a pair.
I just found out that they have being making some of the FRYE in Mexico !
What's wrong with Mexico? Some of the most expensive American brands like St. John outsource to Mexico simply because Mexicans offer some of the best labor for a lower price. Americans have lost the interest in blue collar jobs entirely, so Frye's gotta go somewhere else.
Jose Lopez
I dunno, blue-collar work is necessary for a healthy mind, and as more people figure that out...
+Jose Lopez. Mexico can produce good quality products at a slightly lower price. Problems only arise when greedy companies provide the factory with lower quality materials, inferior machinery and do not bother to properly train the staff. Then when it all goes wrong, blame the Mexican workers. Exactly the same situation exists in China.
Gloria Neiswender that’s America. Just not USA.
You should complain to uncle Donald and tell him to get his finger out and make America great again. LOL
Wow 😮 nice video .
I like this shuz dizain 💓
If u know good boots, u know Frye.
very nice
I have some vintage campus boots that I love, but they’re a size small for me. Oh well. Finding a pair in a women’s 10 was hard enough. No way I could get vintage ones in an 11.
Can i get them without the american stars and srtipes?
Where can you buy this pair in the UK?
May favorite shoes
I've always wanted a pair, I just love the look.
It's sad that the workers making those boots probably cant even afford a pair lol they are pretty pricey
Give me a break, you can afford to pay a few 400$ for a phone that you replace every two years, but you can't afford to pay 400$ for a pair of boots that will last you a decade? If you can afford booze and cigarettes you can afford those boots too. Or you could save up - 40$ a month for a year and you're done.
They're actually reasonably priced compared to Luchese or Russell boots.
Can I remove the frye insole so I can add some superfeet insoles?
