IF THE SHOE FITS: Founded in 1863, The Frye Company is the oldest continually operated shoe company in the United States. The choice of soldiers, presidents and pioneers, a pair of Fryes are also proudly displayed at the Smithsonian Institute. Might sound like tough shoes to fill, but we’re sure you’re up to the challenge. Styles like the classic Harness ($278), the Jane Tall Cuff ($338 – meow!) or the patrician Samantha ($498) will last for decades and you’ll reach for them time and again with each passing year.
