I have had my eye on a pair of Frye boots that are on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but I haven't pulled the trigger. They are just so expensive - but so much more expensive once the sale is over!
So, if you have them, do you think they are worth the price? Do you wish you'd gotten something similar but less expensive?

I found my at a consignment store for $60, which was an unbelievable score. Yes, worth it. They are an investment purchase.

What makes a boot worth more than another boot TO YOU? Durability? Do you want to be wearing them in 10 years?
Comfort makes footwear worth more to me.

I don't dig trendy shoes for the most part and especially not expensive ones. And the timeless style doesn't mean much if they are not well-made. I don't wear uncomfortable shoes, but I also don't buy shoes that are comfortable if I don't love the way they look. So, basically, I want it all LOL

I don't own any, but my friends that do love them. They look great even after years of wear.

I bought a pair of classic Frye boots back in the 70's for motorcycle riding. I don't remember what I paid for them, but I know they were pricey for the time. I still have them, I still wear them. So, yes, very worth it to me and I'm glad I got them.

I don't have a pair but I bought my daughter a pair for Christmas and she loves them. They are comfortable and so classic. The sales woman was telling me she had bought a pair she is still wearing from the late 70's/early 80's. She said she has done minimal for their upkeep and they still look and feel great. I hope my daughter feels the same way.

Yes. While expensive, not outrageously so - and they go with EVERYTHING. I basically live in them for most of the winter. I feel way better about that purchase than a certain pair of Jimmy Choos that were outrageously expensively plus so formal I've only worn them a handful of times.

You bunch on enablers! Ok, I'm ordering them. I realized I am in desperate need of fall/winter footwear and these will definitely be versatile.

Yes. I bought a pair of brown distressed harness boots six years ago. I wear them two or three times a week during the winter. I love them.

I sure hope so since I just bought my first pair a few weeks ago It's too hot to wear them now, but I can't wait! They arrived with a coating of white powder all over them, which seemed odd, but I googled it and I guess they're supposed to arrive like that - some kind of protective coating. I also got a Frye purse at the same time that I am loving! The leather is fantastic. I got the Frye Campus Crossbody.

Have you linked the ones you are considering? I have to admit, I've never heard of Frye boots.

I like both the Anna, which is a shortie boot, and the Phillip, which is out of stock online but supposedly in stock at my local store. I'm going to head over this afternoon and try them on and make a decision, since I can't order them online.

The 'worth' of the cost of the boots is whatever you deem to be 'worthy'.
For me, when I am making any expensive clothing purchase, I take the cost and divide this cost by the approx. [HASH] of times that I will be wearing/using this item. I am a conservative clothes shopper.

I bought a pair of Frye boots in high school. They never wore out. They were pricey but well worth the money.

Had to go look them up cause I am soooo trendy... Anyway, they are nice looking boots! I would have asked the same question as you. If they hold up like some people are saying, then I think it would be worth the money spent.

Everyone had Frye boots in the 70's....lol.....they weren't that expensive back then, very affordable. Mine were plain camel brown.
Now....Paul Bond.....those are some wicked nice cowgirl boots.

I consider my shoes/boots a "collection." Frye boots are worth every penny, especially if you get them on sale. You'll have them forever. They're only worth it if you wear them! I have a pair of the harness boots in green and I use it like a neutral. Last year I got the Melissa in cognac. The tall boots with the buttons on the loop and buttons on the top. I adore those things. I wore them so much through the fall and winter. I eyed a pair at the Nordy sale but let the feeling pass. Couldn't justify another pair. But I think YOU should buy them!

I think Frye boots are definitely worth the price! If you take good care of them, they will last many years.

Enabler! Now I really want a pair-love the Anna boots you linked! Unfortunately, I'm getting ready to move my 2 girls back to college, so all my extra funds are going to them.

Okay, dh and I both have Frye boots from the1970's! My dd in her 30's borrowed mine and I've never seen them again, except occasionally on her feet. Every time I open dh's closet, there they are, still in good shape after all these years.
