FRYE Men's Dakota Mid Lace Boot

Description

There's nothing like a vintage boot for sharp casual style. The Dakota from FRYE takes inspiration from a classic rugged work boot and adds a burnished toe and extends the ankle for a modern update. The thick lug sole ensures a comfortable, flexible stride while the brass eyelets maintain the old-school vibe. The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. Founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well-to-do shoemaker from England, and family-run until 1945, Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers on both sides of America's Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-American war, and by Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. When home-steading drew adventurous New England families to the West during the mid and late 1800's many of the pioneers wore Frye Boots for the long journey. Today Frye remains true to its roots with its line of heritage boots, but continues to innovate as it introduces chic new handbags, pumps, and sandals to its collection.
