Reviews
“If you have any interest in the history of a true American classic brand, order a copy.” ~Selectism
“The book is full of amazing ye ole pictures of the family, the factory and even a newspaper clipping of First Lady Jackie Kennedy and her Frye riding boots. There are also excellent images of the factory through the ages and advertisements that would make Don Drapper jealous…you are immersed in all things Frye…” ~The Manual
“Frye is a love letter and photo album of sorts, highlighting the brand’s enduring footwear, craftsmanship and famous fans. It’s a fun look back to how influential and prevalent Frye footwear has been for decades, especially in the ‘60’s and ‘70s. There also are artful photos of the shoemaking process and a jaunt through vintage print advertisements over the years.” ~Houston Chronicle
“…wonderfully large-scale ode to Frye…The vintage clips and ads are one of the most fascinating components of this densely packed volume. The latter, particularly, offer a great visual history of America. But for someone who didn’t inherit any 1970’s Fryes from her mom or aunts, the book’s most alluring feature may simply be the abundance of up-close images of boots old and new that detail rugged hardware, finely stacked heels and naturally antiqued leather.” ~Stylecourt.com
