Frye Campus 14G SKU: #7542752

I wanted a nice looking black boot that had a sole that could be worn in winter. These are perfect! One mistake I made was ordering a half size larger to accomodate thicker socks. It was not necessary. Even if they were snug with a half size smaller, they would form and stretch enough that the larger size is not needed. All in all, a great boot - I've received several compliments on them!

This is my first review on Zappos. The Frye Campus 14G boots are GORGEOUS. The quality is unbelievable. They were very comfortable out of the box. They ran a half size too big for me. (I ordered my true size, 7, and they too big even with thick socks.) The circumference was perfect for my calf. I am 5’2” and about 115 lbs. I haven’t measured my calves, but I had an easy time getting the boots over skinny jeans. I’m sending them back because they are too big and I changed my mind about the color. I got the Brown Leather and it just didn’t look right with some of my jeans. Sadly, Zappos is sold out of the Black in my correct size :( Although I love the boot and perhaps could deal with the color and size, I can’t justify spending this much money unless the boots are PERFECT.

Lovely boot. Great update to the campus boot with the lug sole. As usual for Frye's I ordered a 1/2 size smaller and the fit was perfect. I got brown, which is more like a cognac in person. Zappos is the best! I got my boots the next day!

I bought these for the fall and I love the classic, simple style and the rich leather. My only complaint is that the sizing is way off. I normally wear an 8 1\/2 and ordered an 8 because I heard they run large. The 8\'s were way too big, so I exchanged them for 7 1\/2\'s, which are still too big. This will be my last attempt to get these boots to fit before I give up.

Best boots ever! Love them. The do scuff up pretty easily, but IMO that's part of the look. They're pretty comfortable and undoubtedly with grow even more so as they break in. I love the color and the vibram lug sole.

Just ordered these yesterday and they arrived today! Love them! I own the banana leather bottom Campus boots that I got 2 years ago from Zappos and they have become a favorite after working them in. These feel like they will be easier to work in. They're rugged, but in a sexy way! I can't wait to wear them with tights or skinny jeans! They are going to be a favorite over the fall and winter!

Usually I wear an 8 in dress shoes, 8.5 in athletic shoe. I ordered 7.5 and the boots feel more than one size bigger. Even with thick socks, they still feel big, my foot moves inside. They are heavy, I feel I drag them when I walk. Disappointed.

I usually wear a 9 but these turned out a bit big, I had to send them back for an 8 1\\\/2. Zappos return policy was wonderful, very good experience. The new boots fit much better. They are my favorite pair and I wear them with everything.

I love the leather, the color and the texture. But on me the boots look like rain boots. I would keep them if they were less expensive, but for this price I have to love them more.

These boots were comfortable out of the box, but I have somewhat narrow feet, so I added an extra insole for a better fit. They are much more flexible than they look in the photos, and quickly mold to your foot. The lug sole is perfect for icy, snowy Maine winters. I have another pair of Frye 14L campus boots that I wear when there is no snow and ice, because those soles don't grip as well. These boots look nice with both jeans and skirts and are a timeless style. Zappos service is fantastic! Way easier than going to a store, and the back and forth free shipping makes using Zappos a no-brainer.

Thought I would like the boot, but the rugged bottom took away from the "Frye" look. Not horrible, just wasn't what I was looking for.

I bought this boot in brown in a 6.5. The color is perfect with nice variances in the hide to make them look great with so many colors. I'm 5' tall, 120 lbs, and wear a size 4 or 6. I usually wear a 6.5 or 7 shoe but found I'm always a 6.5 in Frye's. I find I have trouble with my calves, even if I think they're average (about 14.5" at the biggest part), when wearing boots over skinny jeans, but these fit great with my skinny jeans and didn't look too big over tights & leggings. Like my other pair of pull-on Frye boots, I expected some slipping in the heel area, but it was not uncomfortable. I wore these out of the box for thirteen hours straight at work. Though I felt some areas where the leather was rubbing my ankle, I didn't have a single blister when I took them off.

Bought these for my wife in size 9.5. They ran true to size and fit her perfectly. Originally bought the black ones but wife preferred brown. The return service through Zappos couldn't have been easier. Grade A service!

I auditioned many Fryes (thanks to Zappos) before settling on these. I like the lug soles, and the simplicity makes them more versatile (for a 48-year-old woman) than the harness boots, which won 1st runner-up from me. I normally wear low or no heels, so 1 3/4" feels high to me, but these get more comfy each time I wear them. Unlike harness, they don't have room for much of an added insole, but I really love 'em!

The shoes look great. They have a heavy thick sole that would be good for winters. However, when I tried them on the hardened leather right below my ankle kept digging into me as I walked. It did not seem like a problem that would get better as the leather stretched since that part of the leather looked like it had been shaped permanently to fit that way.
