"The Frye Company For more than 153 years, Frye craftsmen have been dedicated to the art of shoemaking, creating modern patterns, discovering materials and even inventing machinery. Rooted in authentic American heritage, The Frye Company uses the best leathers, designs and innovations in the pursuit of timeless, artisanal style. 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 homesteading 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. Frye’s mission, to make iconic leather goods that endure, has remained unchanged throughout its storied history. Tyler Chelsea Set on a manageable heel, these blake constructed men’s leather boots are crafted from premium leather featuring a classic silhouette. With functional pull tabs and elasticated side panels, the Tyler Chelsea boots are easy to get on/off. And the injected rubber forepart in the leather outsole and rubber toplift for traction make these boots a failsafe for traversing city terrain, and the comfort footbed with full leather lining offers guaranteed comfort."
