Frank's Boots Front Range

Two months in as a journeyman lineman, and these boots have been through it all. We’ve spent long days walking on crushed stone inside the substation, climbed 70-foot poles without hesitation, and put in multiple ten-hour days hiking up and down rights of way where trucks only wish they could get access. These boots have performed above and beyond my standard. They’re doing what it takes to get me home safe and help me pay my bills. I also do a lot of driving so I am noticing the patina on the right boot toe from driving. I love watching these boots age.

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Custom

I chose this boot because of my high instep. I was having a hard time finding a work boot that didn’t give me foot pain. I went with Chromexcel leather because it’s softer and breaks in more easily, so I won’t have such a rough break-in period. The brown shark backstay is just a little extra accent, showing the unlimited possibilities of what you can do with these boots.

How did you determine your size?

Foot Tracing

I trust Frank’s process. I completed a fit sheet for my Frank’s Boots, and because I have a high instep, I needed custom uppers to give me room over my arch and to better support the arch of my foot.

My experience ordering these boots was an absolute pleasure. After submitting my fit sheet, everything was handled over the phone with Michelle and Frank. Fantastic customer service!
