BOOT PURGE If you know Frye boots, you understand these are built for a lifetime. These are FRYE boots, not Frye boots and there is a difference in the quality and materials with those made in Mexico and those made in China. Deep brown leather with amazing patina. Smooth leather cuff with rough leather shaft and foot/smooth leather on the inside, thick leather sole, snip toe, made in Mexico. Minimal wear as I pampered the heck out of these babies. I HATE to give them up but, I have too many vintage boots in my collection that never get worn so time to pass them on. Price is firm.
