THE FRYE COMPANY

Founded in 1863 in Massachusetts by John A. Frye, a prominent English shoemaker, the Frye Company is the oldest continuously operating shoe company in the United States. The company’s rich history began with its footwear being worn by pioneers and cowboys who tamed the West. Generations of American soldiers in the Civil War, the Spanish American War, and World War II wore Frye Boots, and thousands of returning servicemen in the 1940’s turned to Frye Wellingtons (known as Jet Boots).

Iconic Frye Boots, such as the Harness Boot, the Campus Boot, the Engineer and certain western styles are timeless. Due to these and other Frye products, Frye has been recognized by the Smithsonian, with its boots on permanent display of classic Americana.

In 1993, Jimlar Corporation became The Frye Company’s North American licensee. In 1998, Jimlar acquired Frye outright and presently owns the Frye brand for all product classifications worldwide. With its dedication to craftsmanship and design, Frye remains true to its heritage and vintage American roots, while constantly designing new and modern products. Frye’s benchcrafted shoes, boots, and handbags feature rich, beautiful leathers and distinctive, and iconic hardware. For more information, please visit the Frye website at www.fryeboots.com.
