Made in the USA!  Tough to find that.  Only reason I didn't give them five stars is I think my Redwing Beckman's are put together a little better.  You can tell these were handmade on machines, though, which I like.  Each boot's stitching is a bit different.  Yes, when they come they have a light, white film on them, which they have a name for and is from the natural oils and what not coming to the surface, but you just scrub it off with a cloth.  I mean, these are men's boots, not purses.  It's no big deal.

But the boots are beautiful and have a worn, distressed look to them, which really sets them apart.  I'd say they look exactly like the photo.  I wear a 12 and these 12's fit like a glove; perfect.  Looking forward to breaking them in and having them form-fit to my feet.  I'm really happy with them.

So I guess I'd say my Redwing Beckman's will last forever and these Frye's are more fashionable.  Both are very high quality, but that's my take on them.  Don't get me wrong, I don't think these Frye's will wear out within the next 5-10 years, it's just the Redwings are built like a tank.
