Love them!!!
Everything I expected and more. Love my new boots!
Plus, I have wide calves and after wearing them around the house for a few days, they do stretch to fit.

Good in college, even better now -
I remember splurging on this pair of Frye boots my first year (junior year) at SIU in Carbondale, Ill. Not only did they last me the three more years it took me to get my journalism degree, they also lasted for years afterwards. It's so weird that they are now called "Campus" boots -- I don't think they were in 1975 when I bought my first pair. After graduation in 1978, I took the boots with me to my first job at a South Florida newspaper -- even though I got a lot of looks that said "What are you doing wearing boots on the beach?" I moved on to sandals like everyone else here, and thought no more about my beloved Frye boots. But I was amazed and thrilled recently to see them online again. They're better this time around because I can afford them! They're not really a splurge at this stage in my life, but I'm mighty glad to have found them again. I remember that they caused horrible blisters the first time, until I finally broke them in. I hope they don't do that any more.

Frye also used to make an Oxford-type shoe w/ this leather, which I also owned. It had pink detailing.

I love these boots. The quality is like no other. They’re expensive, but you won't regret it. It took me forever to convince myself to spend that much on them, but I love them now and I know they are built to last. They’re not the sexiest boot, but they're casual, classic, and comfy.

Excellently made, comfortable boots. Fit my 15.5" calves. Moreover, Zappos is absolutely the best...when the boot box was damaged; they sent me a new box in which to store my new beautiful boots. What company, online or otherwise, would do that? I'm with Zappos for life!

Good for larger calves -
As an athletic girl with 14 1/2" calves, I have trouble finding a tall boot that I can zip. These fit the bill. They look great with jeans, casual skirts and dresses. I can't tuck in a jean, but as I am only 5'4" that's not a trend that works for me anyway. To darken (as they were a bit bright for this black shoe wearin' girl) and protect them I used mink oil.

turning heads wherever I go -
I wore these boots in NYC, Chicago and St. Louis and was turning heads in all places. Plus, these boots are so comfortable. They hardly needed any breaking in at all. I love them. I will love them forever too. They are most definitely worth the price.

I really love the look of the boot. They were really hard to get on the first time and the fit good. But when I wore them out for a short time they were like a size too big. I am disappointed because now it’s too late and I can not return for a smaller size. I got marks on the bottom of the boot so I guess it’s too late. Seeing the price tag I am disappointed, it’s more than I normally pay for boots.

SO FLY!
SUPERFAST delivery. Zappos is amazing! I ordered these boots in my exact size and they fit fine! I don’t know how big these ladies are who can’t get the boots over their calves! They fit with plenty of room for skinny jeans or straight leg. I was paranoid by other reviews but I slid right into them no problem and I'm no Nicole Richie! LOL. Color is great. More like Bananas Foster! They seem easy to stain so I hope there is some kind of stain/water treatment I can get for them. I don’t want to ruin these. I don’t know if I will ever get them at this price again! Frye is well crafted SUPERIOR to any other boot on the market.

Love these boots. They match everything! A little hard to get on and off at first but then they loosen up. I wear them all the time. Great looking!!!

I have wanted these boots for over a year and took the plunge to celebrate my 30th birthday. Zappos promoted me to free two day shipping and I have not taken them off since. I recommend Frye to everyone!

This is a great looking boot. I got them in dark brown, but unfortunately had trouble with how wide the shaft of the boot was. I don't have very large calves but I had to have the boots stretched in order for them to fit.

Frye Campus Boots Banana 14L -
These boots are sweet. I love them. All emotions aside... I bought my regular size and it works for me. The toe area was tight at first but after wearing them it feels looser. The heel slips while walking but with a good pair of knee socks I don't notice that anymore. I didn't receive blisters to break them in (try hiking socks sold at sporting stores - wicks away moisture and gives extra protection while breaking these babies in). The shaft did fit my not-too-skinny calves. I inspected the Campus very carefully; it's no doubt a quality boot. In comparison to the other boots I've bought it makes the others look cheap. Zappos is great - fast service, great shoes, and honest reviews.

Great All Around Boot -
I just received my much anticipated Frye Campus boots in dark brown and they are gorgeous. The only issue is they are extremely difficult to get on. Once on my heel does slip but I am glad I bought my true size. They already feel comfortable and I ams ure they will break in. The color is beautiful, seems like they will go with everything. Yea!! I believe I have found my all around perfect everyday boot.

Love them!
I got my Frye boots (in saddle) in the mail 3 days ago. Beware...the first time putting them on is not easy. The boots and I had a throw-down in the middle of the floor before they finally surrendered. It does take a couple of days to stretch them out. Otherwise, they are quite comfortable and look great with most outfits. You will get plenty of compliments.

Banana? More like caramel.
The color is actually a beautiful, warm caramel with striations of a darker brown. They're very neutral; I think calling it "banana" is a little off-putting.
I have a tough time finding shoes that fit because I have bunions, so my feet are wider at the front than at the back. I took a chance and ordered these boots on sale from another retailer and I just got them yesterday, but the leather is very supple and I can tell they'll stretch to accommodate my weird feet. They're pretty tight around my calves, but again I think they'll be fine after a few wearings. Definitely take other reviewers' advice and order a half-size to a full-size smaller than you usually wear.
I'm scared to wear these boots until I waterproof them, because I love them so much I think I'll be wearing them for many years to come. They make me feel like I could kick some serious butt. Now I'm considering paying full price for the black ones...

Great Boots!
These are the best pair of boots I own! They make my big feet look small, which is nice for once- They are very comfortable and are nice in the winter time when worn with a thick knee sock- they look great with jeans, dresses, and skirts- they are very unique and get lots of compliments! They are worth the price and it's great they they're made in the USA! I wear a nine and an 8.5 fit perfectly!

Great, great, great!
This boot is great. It's pretty comfortable for a heavier boot, but I have to exchange my "banana" ones for something darker. Great color for spring time things, but too bright for me (city girl). The leather is VERY soft and the insole is nicely cushioned. Great boot, great investment.

Love this boot!
This is a perfect boot for skirts – long AND short – and jeans. The color is gorgeous and they're not overly dressy, but they definitely take an outfit up a notch.

This is a super looking boot! I read the reviews and ordered a half size smaller and when I tried them on they fit perfectly. Very well made too!

Great Long-Term Investment-
I bought the Frye Campus boots in both Banana and Dark Brown within a week of each other. It took a couple of tries to get the size right, but ultimately, a half-size smaller was perfect. I also found that the banana shade I received in the mail was a darker version of the true banana shade I saw at my local department store. Regardless, the boots didn't take long at all to break in and I love them. I received the dark browns in the mail two days before leaving for the Sundance Film Festival and I wore them without problems. Major observation: Not good for wet weather. Otherwise, the boots will go everywhere else. I have been wearing both pairs almost everyday and still loving them. I will have them for a very long time.

Frye Campus, a good wardrobe staple.
While contemplating a purchase of this boot I read these reviews to help me decide on the size to order. I, like most every other customers went a half size smaller than my usual size. The boot is stiff at the start, but very quickly gives. It is a classic and looks great with jeans or a skirt or a dress. I chose the color banana for a change from the ordinary dark brown or black. It is a fun color, but will look much better as it gets beat up and worn in.

Never had Frye boots when they were so hot in the '70's as I was a bit too preppy for my own good. Now that I'm older and much cooler than I was then - I LOVE these boots. Go great with everything, amazingly becoming and comfortable.
