Experience the pinnacle of American equestrian heritage with these Frye Melissa Riding Boots.

Description

The Melissa Riding Boot is a masterclass in minimalist design, emphasizing the quality of the leather over flashy hardware. These are the classic pull-on version, offering a streamlined look that is as functional as it is fashionable.

Premium Materials: Constructed from heavyweight, full-grain leather with a slight pull-up and a natural waxy finish.

Design: Equestrian-inspired tall shaft with an asymmetric topline for a flattering leg profile.

Comfort: Features a smooth leather lining and a cushioned leather insole that molds to your foot with wear.

Outsole: Durable leather outsole with a rubber heel insert for added traction and a stacked leather heel.

Craftsmanship: Expertly Handcrafted in Spain using artisanal bench-crafting techniques.

Condition: New Without Box (NWOB) – Warehouse Sample

These boots are in excellent, unworn condition, sourced directly from warehouse storage.

Uppers: The full-grain leather is pristine, supple, and free of any scuffs or scratches.

Outsoles: The soles show light scuffing consistent with being handled in a warehouse environment or being tried on a hard floor. This is purely cosmetic and actually saves you the step of "breaking in" the slick factory soles for better grip.

Note: No original box is included.
