Frye Women's Melissa Button 2 Riding Boot

Description

The Melissa equestrian-inspired tall boots are made from hard-wearing antique washed Italian leather in a pull-on design. Contoured through the ankle for support and the most flattering shape, they have a modernized topline with a newly updated Frye signature button detail that sits just below the topline providing a tailored look. Slight heel with leather soles. Antique metal hardware. 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 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.
