When I was developing my boot fetish as a teen, it was the &#8217;70s and Fryes were definitely cool boots!  Lots of guys at school wore them.  And they were affordable!  About once a month, a shoe store in town ran a sale, and for $40, I could get myself a pair of these boots.  I saved my pennies and bought, literally, dozens of these boots between 1970 and the late &#8217;80s.  I wore them everywhere &#8212; rode my motorcycle with &#8217;em, stomped in mud with &#8217;em, to work, to meetings, to school.  I just lived in these boots.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, they really aren&#8217;t that comfortable and when I discovered that other boots were more comfortable, I wore Fryes less.  But my passion remains, and about 10% of my boot collection is composed of Fryes.<\/p>\n<p>And I can tell that I&#8217;m not alone, because every month as I review the statistics for my most viewed boots on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">my website<\/a>, Fryes have consistently been ranked #1.  About ten times as many visitors to my website looking at boots look at Fryes than any other maker or style.  I really wonder why.
