I looked them up on the Frye website. They're currently $298, which is technically cheap for a Frye boot these days. They come in a ton of colors, and are particularly gorgeous in this plum color.
I am proud to say that I am an owner of a pair of Frye boots, but I bought them back before they became so daggone cool. (I researched on the website and they were taken over by some fancy company that re-marketed them). Mine are regular old cowboy boots with a recycled Goodyear tire sole. I've had them for probably 7 years or so - and I defintely wear them - and they are still in almost like-new condition. So, you might pay a ton these days, but the investment seems to be worth it. I purchased mine when I was presenting at a conference in Austin, TX. I snuck out of the meeting to go to the cool stores and the Justin boot shop, seeing as I've been obsessed with cowboy boots since I was a toddler. I fell in love with these and called my parents for permission to buy them for Christmas (at much lower than the price tag of those above). Then, I had the store ship them to Alabama because: I had indeed snuck out of the conference to buy them and I was indeed sharing a hotel room with my boss and the appearance of a giant boot box could be tricky to explain (and difficult on the plane).
Since I am trying my best to be the picture of self-control, I will not buy these boots. But I will imagine myself wearing them all about town.
