Frye boots
As much as I adore my Fluevog Bond Girl boots, after over three years of heavy wear they are beginning to kick it. Whiskery cracks are forming on top of the toes which spell the beginning of the end for even the most lovingly dubbin’ed boot.
While I am waiting on my very own design of the Dr. Martens boot to arrive, those very special boots will be for special occasions and not for kicking through multiple salty, slushy Toronto winters. So I need new boots. You can never have enough boots right?
Not sure how it is possible, but I had never heard of Frye Boots until they were mentioned by the client I did this piece for (she’s a math tutor and not a fashion person). Then it seemed like I saw them everywhere. In Nina Garcia’s The One Hundred
My Picks:
As Nina Garcia would say, badass.

I love my black Frye Harness boots. Love them. Not on the coldest of days, mind. But to your point — how can you have enough boots??
I thought I would spoil myself this month with a pair of Frye boots as well but found a pair at Value Village that would pass any day for a pair of Frye boots! I really love them and they really do make walking in slush and snow an easier feat!
And the look they give me is indeed badass, I have no doubt you will loooove your pair when you get them!
I also have a penchant for Frye Boots. Read Back to Boot Shopping (http://lifeinfashion.typepad.com/life_in_style/2008/09/its-that-boot-time-of-year.html).
They didn’t fit my budget this year, but I am hoping for next year!
[...] DMs, Fluevogs, or Fryes, I especially like flat combat or motorcycle styles with round toes. They make me feel [...]
I’ve been wanting Fryes for a couple of years now, and think I’m finally ready to take the plunge! Just pulled last winter’s suede boots out of storage and they look like crap – salt stains have totally ruined them. I always balked at Frye prices ($300+) but now I see they’ve got to be worth the money if they’re so durable. And like you say – the more beat up they get, the better, which is GREAT for Canadian winters!
I’ve purchased The Frye Engineer 12R and really love them. Leather is so soft and comfortable. Looking good with my old jeans and skirt. I tell you what, this things is the best boots ever!.
