I had a pair of Frye boots in high school (after begging my parents endlessly for a pair) and they looked so bitchin' with my bell bottom hip huggers with the de rigueur frayed bottom.
You bootblacks out there will shudder but the mark of excellence in my group was how battered your Frye's were. They really were shit kickers!
Sadly, it wasn't too long after that I entered my disco bunny faze and my sweat-stained Freys were relegated to the back of the closet as I flung open the door of my own personal gay closet.
Check out this fun little story on the history of Frye boots.
Sure wish I had em now!
