For many women, the passing of Labor Day marks the unofficial start of an important shopping season: The Fall Boots Hunt.  That’s right—even though most of you are probably still sporting flip flops and fresh pedicures, now is the time to stock up on the boots that will (literally) carry you through the long, cold winter months.

This year, you can wrap up your Fall Boots Hunt quickly and easily by grabbing a pair of American-made Frye boots. Though this classic brand has surged in popularity over the past few years, it boasts a long, rich American history:

“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.”
