How Frye Boots are made - BRANDMADE.TV

[@jessgatt5441]

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.

[@msgmagicsaltofgod5303]

well-made boots never disappointed you right sir?

[@snoopu2601]

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.

[@pipeguy1958]

Bought my first pair of Frye harness boots in 1974...still wearing them! I have about 15 pairs of Fryes! Love 'em!!!

I might have cut the weather for them I'm not sure I work for Fry's as a cutter at that time

[@saddamali3124]

I want to buy this how should I buy

[@jonathanlane5432]

Wow! I had no idea how much work went into making these boots. I bought my first pair of Frye boots in 1965.

[@BrandmadeTv]

Very cool!

[@1967250s]

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.

[@mohamadmohamadi4793]

T hank you for the production of these boots, as we Asian people also use these products, only short boots should have more sales.

[@fautismus5993]

This is some untamed yeehaw right here. I'm lovin' it!

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.

[@wayoutwest4944]

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.

[@joeguzman3558]

The lady cutting the leather has pictures of her children it shows her love for them it's beutiful

[@countalucard4226]

Bless the workers. I hope they love their jobs and machines never take them.

[@ryanlaurence569]

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.

[@BogdanGunaa]

Can you tell me how do they fit?

[@periscope7731]

Do they fit true to size?

[@daveridgeway2639]

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...

[@BrandmadeTv]

Very cool, Dave! Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@daveridgeway2639]

Thank you! Dave...

[@wilsjane]

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.

[@dissmr]

Still have a pair I bought in NYC in 1994...

[@sll-tt6bj]

Will have to buy a pair

[@_sibuna_6903]

I remember back in 1983, i was 16 and i bought my first pair, loved them so much.

[@janine5540]

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.

[@miracleman.]

Impressive.

[@VintageSixPiece]

I still wear the Frye Engineer's boots that I got in 2005. They really are exceptionally comfortable and durable.

[@blueeyedgod]

I have two pairs of harness boots and they are amazing!!! So comfortable!!!! Worth EVERY penny!!

How much does a pair cost?

I work for fries back in the sixties in the seventies in the 80s

[@soulstarmusiclover1254]

@@arzooothwal9934 Anywhere from 300 dollars to 700 dollars.. I' own a pair of beautiful camel suede boots.

There ain't noth'n like a quality boot ....♥️

[@dragonlover2085]

My favorite boots of all times are from Frye.

[@Baron-nv1ez]

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.

[@lescakes]

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.

Pooh on your making fun of regional accents. I like hearing differences.

[@jimwilloughby]

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.

[@clanvanderlinde4847]

Yeah I got a pair of Jacob Engineer boots and once broken the quality is a amazing you never want to take them off.

[@Cobin9923]

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.

[@saxman7131]

Ray. He’s a “Sole Provider” get it? I enjoyed the video.

[@michaeloram6957]

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

[@scheniquewawalker]

I'm in love with my FRYE BOOTS. NICE VIDEO.

All my boots are Frye... love them❤️

[@michaeloram6957]

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

[@MuhammadAli-jd2ut]

Frye is a symbol of perfection.

[@madsgullstein9056]

I'm saving up for a pair... They look awesome!

[@PhotoLabMP]

Handmade boots like these are worth their price because they’re well made.

[@BrandmadeTv]

You need some then. amzn.to/2OUSYuN

[@michaeloram6957]

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

[@antoniopossan7359]

My pair of harness boots are used almost everyday in a cattle farm it is great. Worth them almost 300 bucks

[@hong7842]

[@anitaopel3435]

Beautiful boots!

[@Sooopa_Doopa]

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.

[@TheNotoriousKID]

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.

[@salsa83]

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.

[@edwinsantos7937]

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.

[@THEBANDIT7979]

Best boots. Period.

[@johncanalese588]

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.

[@wilsjane]

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.

[@zzzspik7090]

Found a pair of vintage frye black lable 2278 campus boots at a thrift store for $10.

[@michaeloram6957]

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

[@michaeloram6957]

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

[@pooolB]

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

[@pooolB]

I say used and dirty, but they look pretty good, just aged. They were definitely well taken care of

[@superkas]

Southern is the real heart of USA for me as a foreigner

I like this black boot so much, but how can I bought this one n what it's price????

[@SalandFindles]

I prefer boots that have actual tread on the bottom so I can walk around without worrying about slipping on anything. 👍

[@mouth884]

Walk with your heal... I dont slip in mine

[@JuanHerrero]

@@mouth884 Heel. Heal is what doctors (are supposed to) help you do.

[@1978garfield]

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.

[@wilsjane]

When we burnt the stubble, leather soles were far better for walking across the burning embers and stomping them out before we went home.

[@chrisforet]

Well if you tryin some boot scootin boogie you want smooth soles so you can slide

[@hilldwler420]

Love my Frye engineer boots. Just ordered the amaricana version. Is it true they are moving out of the U.S ?

[@RLOWG]

17 century french millitary boots

[@hilldwler420]

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.

[@insoniatv5723]

Essa marca opera no Brasil?

[@GNeis7345]

I just found out that they have being making some of the FRYE in Mexico !

[@ULICKMYBUTCRACK]

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.

[@baron8107]

Jose Lopez I dunno, blue-collar work is necessary for a healthy mind, and as more people figure that out...

[@wilsjane]

+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.

[@NoBullFitness]

Gloria Neiswender that’s America. Just not USA.

[@wilsjane]

You should complain to uncle Donald and tell him to get his finger out and make America great again. LOL

[@BigBADArt89]

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.

[@eltoro747]

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.

Doesn't ALL leather have pores that make it breathable? Also, most Frye boots have either leather soles or combination leather and rubber soles.
