The Front Range is a heritage work boot model manufactured by Frank's Boots in Spokane, Washington. Positioned as a versatile boot suitable for office, industrial work, and outdoor activities, the Front Range features eight-inch height construction with traditional work boot materials and design elements.
Frank's Boots introduced the Front Range as part of their handmade boot line, utilizing the company's signature 7.5 to 8 oz full-grain water-resistant leather and Mini Vibram Logger sole construction. The model represents the company's approach to creating durable footwear that bridges professional and casual applications.
Design and construction
The Front Range incorporates traditional work boot construction methods with contemporary materials. The boot features an eight-inch height built on Frank's 55 Last using Toe Shape 3, providing a balanced profile suitable for various applications. Construction includes fully rebuildable and resoleable design, ensuring long-term durability and repairability.
Frank's constructs the Front Range with hand-lasted methods at their Spokane facility, following the company's commitment to handmade production techniques. The high heel and arch support system is designed to distribute body weight for extended wear comfort, addressing the needs of workers who spend long hours on their feet.
Materials and specifications
The Front Range utilizes 7.5 to 8 oz full-grain water-resistant leather in the standard configuration, finished in a Walnut hue with smooth texture. This leather weight provides durability while maintaining flexibility for break-in and long-term wear.
Sole construction features a Mini Vibram Logger sole paired with a Logger Heel, providing traction and durability appropriate for both indoor and outdoor environments. Hardware includes brass hooks and eyes for the upper lacing system, with a pull loop at the rear for easier entry. The water-resistant leather treatment enhances the boot's suitability for varied work environments and weather conditions.

Frank's Boots offers the Front Range through their direct sales and authorized retailers including Carter's Boots and Repair. Current pricing places the Front Range at $490, with an eight-inch in-stock variant available for $590. Production lead times for custom orders can extend up to 20 weeks when on backorder.
The model is available through Frank's customization system, allowing customers to modify materials, colors, and construction details beyond the standard specification. This customization capability reflects Frank's broader approach to made-to-order footwear production.
