Protects Your Investment

"Frye Waterproof Balm is an inexpensive way to protect your boots. I haven't worn my Frye Harness boots out in the rain yet, but I know when I do, they will be protected. I'm protecting my investment. Their balm did darken the leather, but that was expected. I have already recommend it to my neighbor for her boots."

Great Product

"Great for weather-proofing any leather product! I have only used this on my black leather boots, so I'm not sure if it would change the color of a lighter leather, but it works great and makes the black leather look so nice!"

All leather needs this balm!

"Great conditioner and protectant! I smear it on boots and purses with my fingers and let it soak in overnight. Then buff off the next day. It shines boots right up. Also, it makes my hands softer than a baby's behind!"

Decent boot, but Frye sizing

"Decent boot, but Frye sizing has gotten crazy. I was replacing a 15 year old size 9. 5 with a new 9. 5. It was WAY small, and WAY too narrow. Since Frye charges return shipping, I decided to not try exchanging them (it would have been a guess). And BTW, when is Frye going to start making wide widths?"
