Leather & Craftsmanship

Frye uses the finest materials and richest leathers to craft our products. To preserve the appearance of your Frye products, we recommend that you clean, moisturize and condition the leathers. To clean, we recommend using a dry, cotton cloth to wipe away dirt or dust. To moisturize, condition and protect against weather, clean the leather with a dry cloth and then apply Frye’s Weatherproof Dressing or Weatherproof Spray as directed on the bottle. Our products are oil-based and will therefore darken the appearance of the leathers. We recommend that you test any product by applying a small amount to a discrete area and allowing it to dry.

Natural hides, veins and markings
Some styles incorporate leathers with natural variations, specifically chosen to enhance the authentic characteristics inherent in each pair of Fryes. Some of our unique leathers include a high content of natural waxes that may rise to the surface due to a change in temperature – this misty coating can be easily removed with a dry cloth.
