Frye Boots

Friday October 20, 2006

Don't let the fact that Frye boots have been around for nearly 150 years fool you. As proven by the kiwi casual slouch boots shown here, they can be every bit as fashion-forward as more trendy brands. But they also come with a history of quality of craftsmanship, and attention to detail that isn't always found in more contemporary labels.

Founded in 1863 by a wealthy English shoemaker, the Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States, and Frye boots were worn by soldiers for both sides of America's Civil War.

Fortunately, you don't have to be heading into battle to appreciate these top picks in Frye Boots for women.
