Frequently Asked Questions
Frye Supply is the safety footwear division of The Frye Company, which has made boots in the United States since 1863. The line takes Frye's leather and construction traditions and adds ASTM-rated safety toes and work-rated outsoles, aimed at people who want a heritage boot that also satisfies a PPE requirement. The styling reflects the parent brand rather than looking like conventional industrial footwear.
The Goodyear welted models can be resoled, which is one of the main reasons to buy into this line. A welt stitches a leather strip around the perimeter of the boot, so a cobbler can cut the stitching, remove the worn outsole, and stitch a new one on without disturbing the upper. That makes the boot rebuildable rather than disposable. See our American made boots collection for the other welted lines we carry.
Crazy Horse is a full-grain leather finished with a heavy wax that sits on the surface, so scratches and creases lighten and the leather develops a pull-up effect and a patina as it wears. It is durable and it hides scuffs well, which suits a work boot. It also means the boot will not look new for long, and that change in appearance is intended rather than a defect. Conditioning keeps it supple without removing the character.
Expect one to three weeks, which is normal for a welted boot in heavy leather and long compared with a cemented athletic-style work shoe. The leather has to soften and the welt has to flex before the boot conforms to your foot. Wearing them in shorter stretches over the first week is easier than a full shift straight out of the box. Once broken in they keep that shape for years.
Steel toe across most of the boot range, and composite on the utility moccasin work shoes. Both meet the same ASTM F2413 impact and compression standard, so the difference is weight and temperature transfer rather than protection. Composite is non-metallic and lighter, though it does not on its own make a boot metal-detector safe since the shank and hardware are separate components.
Several models are, including the 6-inch steel toe boot and the steel toe Wellington, and it is stated in the product title. The utility moccasins and some of the women's models are not. Because both versions exist in the same range, check the title rather than assuming. See our full waterproof work boots range for the wider set of options.
Yes, the Safety Crafted women's range includes steel toe Chelsea boots and steel toe harness boots in brown and black. These carry the same ASTM-rated protection as the men's line in silhouettes that read as fashion boots rather than as work boots, which is unusual in safety footwear. See our full women's safety toe boots range.
They sit at the upper end of the market, and the case for the cost is the welted construction and the leather rather than technical features. If you want a rebuildable boot that looks like a heritage boot and still meets a rated-toe requirement, there are not many alternatives. If you want maximum technical protection or the lightest possible boot, the specialist industrial brands deliver more for the money.
