The Campus 14L by Frye is a premium leather boot with a handcrafted silhouette and chunky toe. Customers appreciate its versatile colorways and great look, though opinions on calf tightness, leather quality, and size vary. The fit and style are highly recommended, but some customers have mixed feelings about the customer service and leather quality.

"This is my second time purchasing from Frye after I loved my first pair so much… These boots feel crackly, look splotchy, and wet. It looks obviously worn or previously used. The packaging was terrible, barely taped together, and the box was falling apart. Extremely disappointed with the lack of quality control. Now this color is sold out of my size, very disappointed."
"Frye boots aren’t how I remember from pre 2014. I was really surprised how light the weight of the boot was, not heavy and sturdy and good quality like I remember from Frye. Quality seemed similar to the Frye dupe boots I bought a couple years ago that were only $60. These are certainly not worth the $300+ price tag, I can’t believe people pay $500."
"from the photo the color should be a pale dusty green ("eucalyptus" as it's called) but in fact it is just a pale light tan, barely any color at all. and the quality is far inferior (thinner leather and slick smooth soles) from the Campus boots I have from years ago. I was so excited about these boots and saved and waited a long time to get them. bummer."
"I ordered this boot twice and it was defective both times. I did not receive my money back after I returned both pairs. I had to call weeks later and the customer service agent manually issued my refund. Had I not called, Frye would've kept my money even though I returned both pairs. Shady business practices and their boot quality has significantly decreased. I have the original campus boots and these are not it. Strongly would not recommend."
"These boots are incredibly beautiful! I ordered a 9.5. The right boot was fine; i could not get my foot through the ankle part of boot so I think the boot was defective. However, i have the same boot in a different color in size 10. The fit is extra roomy but i decided i like 10 better. My normal size is 9.5 so i will say they run a bit - slim or small. The customer service is amazing and exchange was so easy! I highly recommend these- gorgeous, comfortable - can wear all day! Can’t wait for my exchange!!!!"
"Love the quality and look of these boots! I was so ready to splurge and have a pair of Campus boots that I could wear for years to come. Unfortunately, despite reading tons of reviews and liking the initial fit, the leather stretched a full size too big by the second wear so they just flop around on my feet and I can't wear them comfortably even with thick socks. :("
"Beautiful boots and very well made, but I’m disappointed in the fit. I owned the Frye Campus boots years ago and loved them. These are noticeably much wider through the upper shaft than my original pair. The tops are so roomy that they flop back and forth against my legs when I walk. I know my memory of the original fit isn’t simply because my legs were larger then—in fact, when I owned my original pair I weighed about 105 pounds and my legs were even thinner than they are now. The original boots still fit properly without this excessive looseness. They’re beautiful boots, and the quality seems excellent, but I wish Frye had kept the proportions of the original Campus boot. For someone with slimmer calves, the current fit may be much too wide."
"I used to love everything from Frye. It has been almost 10 years since the last time I bought from them. When I got these boots, I was just shocked by how cheap they looked."
"I have wanted these boots for 10 years and finally pulled the trigger to wear to an upcoming event. I ordered my usual size 8’s which were tight and I struggled to even wear them around the house. I exchanged for the next half size up, and the exchange process was easy. Frye shipped the boots quickly and my 8.5’s arrived in time for my event. I tried on the left boot which fit perfectly. When I tried on the right boot, it was so tight I couldn’t even get my foot in. The heel was too tight and no matter how hard I tried I could not get it on my foot. My husband tried, my mom tried… she wears a smaller size than I do and tried them on and said the right boot felt substantially smaller on the foot. That’s insane for $498 boots. At one point perhaps these were quality but now it’s inconsistent."
"I love them!!! I took a chance with the Bourbon color as I didn’t need another black boot, but I wear mostly black. These look AMAZING with black!"
