Great boots. Wonderful Frye quality. I've heard they run large, but mine are true to size.

I hadn't had a pair of Frye boots in years mainly because if I'm going to invest in a pair of good boots I want to be able to wear them to work and many of the Frye styles are just a bit too casual for a professional office. However, once I saw the Campus boot I knew right away that it work work. The boot fits true to size and with the slightly higher heel, it looks great with skirts. These boots are a bit more expensive than some but I can tell they'll last a long time. You won't be sorry once you have them in your closet!

I have a pair of these boots, this style, from 45 years ago. I keep them in the back of my closet as they are too small to wear now. I'm keeping these for posterity and will give them to some deserving rebel country girl that will appreciate them. Hope to purchase a new pair. Love the FRYE label!

I purchased my boots 10 years ago, and they're still every bit as gorgeous as they were the day I got them! The craftsmanship is absolutely unsurpassed. If you take care of your boots (as in refraining from wearing them when it's raining, snowing, etc.), they can last up to 30 years with minimal maintenance. I originally bought my pair of Frye boots because my dad had had a pair for decades. I think the same will happen for me with my boots. If you're considering making a purchase, go for it! As far as I'm concerned, this company and these boots are top of the line.

Hands down, my favorite boot ever--and I am boot-crazy. I purchased these 15 years ago (banana) and I am just now having to re-heel. I wear them all the time, great summer boots with dresses. I always receive compliments on these boots. I own 4 other pair of Frye boots (and, many, many other boots (Stuart Weitzman, Aquatalia, etc) and these are the best. They are well made, look fantastic, comfortable, and, well, just amazing. I wish I had purchased another pair 15 years ago when they were 1/3 of the price...

This is my first pair of Frye boots. I have always admired the craftsmanship. I tried on 9 different styles. They really do fit very differently. After wearing them 1 day they were broken in! Such beautiful leather! Note: not all of the boots have the finished inside leather and not all are made in the USA for the price I wanted both. It will state it on the box. The leather soles are just so well made .....can't say enough great things! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the banana yellow!

Loved the boot, downsized, but should have kept my regular size. I have small calves, so they were snug even for me. Would have to wear leggings only with these. Quality was A+.

Love the Frye quality! These boots boots are a classic! Invest in some leather conditioner as they are stiff (& narrow) at first. As with any fine leather, the more you wear, the better they will get to know you.

I have wanted these boots for years and finally got them. They were snug across the front part of my foot, scrunching my toes, so I brought them to a shoe repair place and had them stretched a little for a small cost. I love them. They fit well now and look great. The calf part fits me well. I'm 5'9" and average weight. I bought my usual size 10.

This awesome boot is the quality I expected from the Frye name, the leather is superb, with an interesting coloring on the surface to give it a worn, fashionable appearance. I was pleased to find that these boots were made in the US, versus China - which I noticed on several other boots made by Frye. I love this shoe, it makes a great addition to my wardrobe. It matches with so many things.

I am deeply and profoundly in love with my Frye Campus 14Ls, and I owe it all to Zappos, who worked with me until I got it right. Order a 1/2-size smaller than your normal size! Also, be warned. This is not a tuck-your-pants-in boot for me. Fine with me, because that's not how I roll.

These are beautifully classic. I love the look. I am looking forward to wearing them often. The more comfortable and loosened up they will be.

My Campus 14L are 10 years old. This is my second pair. My old pair still looks like new despite all the forestry work I put them through. The cushion supports must be something new Frye added, because my old pair didn't have them yet they were still comfortable. The Campus 14L are roomy in the toes. You can order a half size down if you want, but I don't recommend it. Why? Because I tried it and had to exchange for my normal size. My hiking, thermal and athletic socks wouldn't fit comfortably in there. And I could barely tuck in my skinny jeans, because the shaft circumference narrowed about 1/2 inch. If you have curvy calves like me or like to tuck in pants, order your usual size. If you have slender calves and want a tighter look with skirts, size down.

Great boots - even after 4 years of wear and tear. I own the saddle leather and they look just as good today as they did in the beginning. Super comfy, too! If there is anything I no longer love about the boot, it might be the crinkly looking lines that are present (possibly due to the "tanning" process?) - either way, still one of my go-to pairs of Fryes!

I had a pair of campus boots way back in the late 70's that I wore everyday. Feet change over the years so I repurchased a pair in my current size about 12 years ago. These are a classic Frye style. Mine are walnut.

The Campus 14L boots are wonderful! The fit is perfect, a half size smaller than my regular size was great for me. The color is better in person and especially on my foot. Ordering and receiving the boots was very very smooth with no problems as usual. I will always order from Zappos; they are great to deal with.

This is the boot I've been looking for all my life. Goes with everything...dressed up or dressed down. I will say, it wasn't easy to get right. Zappos had to send 3 different pairs before I found the right boot fit and leather texture. Zappos was extremely helpful. They made the process easy! Not charging my card 3 different times. Excellent customer service. Love this boot and now I'm a Zappos customer for life!

I gave these boots 5 stars in all three categories, but they do have some issues. First, let me say that I absolutely LOVE them! I have worn them to work in at my new house and at our farm all day every single day since I received them in early Feb. and have not had my usual sore, tired feet yet. I ordered an 11 which is my normal size. They are longer than any other size 11 I've ever had. They are easy to pull on, but they are loose in the heel. Ideally, I would wear a narrow width, but that isn't available. I am wearing my custom orthotics to provide arch support and over-the-calf boot socks to keep them from being so loose and to protect my skin from the roughness of the shaft stitching. The leather is gorgeous. Some people have complained about the varying leather on different parts of the boot. There are variations, but I think that is from the type of leather used in these boots which gives them character. The blazer brown is darker than the picture, but it is still a pretty brown.

I too, had a pair of Frye boots in the late '70s. I loved them and wore them until my feet outgrew them. I bought these in Blazer Brown because the price was too tempting to pass up. The color is a beautiful rich dark brown. I read reviews and decided to order 8.5, my normal shoe size. I would not have wanted to order a half size smaller. I read that they will stretch. Now they are comfortable...snug at the top. I believe they will be very comfortable with more wear. Nice to wear an American made boot. The info on the tag attached to the boot states that there are 190 steps to make a benchcrafted pair of Frye boots. Yes, they are a quality product. I'm very happy with the purchase.

These are well made, classic, stylish boots, which I know I will wear for years to come. They look urbane and elegant in black worn with black tights or with narrow pants tucked into them. The mid-calf shaft shows some leg, in a nice way, when the boots are worn with a knee-length dress. The shaft is just wide enough to accommodate my athletic calves plus narrow pants. I experienced some chafing on the outsides of my little toes when the boots were new, since my feet are slightly wide in the toes. I have found that the boots are most comfortable when a pair of soft socks is worn with them, even layered over tights if I am wearing tights. The socks can be short and not show at all, or knee high and show over the tops of the boots. I love the way that the heel adds some height, but the slight platform styling means that there is none of the discomfort I associate with high heels.

I love my boots! They came in two days from Zappos and are beautiful. I would wear them everyday. They fit true to size and are a beautiful color. It's and investment in boots I will own a very long time.

Beautiful boot. I ordered a half size smaller because my other Fryes are a size 8 & felt a little big, but they turned out to be too small.

I bought the 9 1/2 which is my normal size. My foot is narrow so I need a heavy sock to take up some of the room. These boots are classic and so much like a pair I had in the early 70's which laced up.
