- How does the Frye Campus 12R fit compared with other Frye boots?
- It runs roomy, and many owners size down half a size. The shaft is fairly wide, so it layers over jeans more easily than it hugs the calf.
- Do the Campus 12R boots have a zipper?
- No. They are slip-on only, which is the main reason buyers say they are hard to get on at first. A boot jack or thin socks help until the leather softens.
- How long is the shaft and heel?
- The shaft is 14 inches tall and the block heel is 1.75 inches, so it hits below the knee on most wearers.
- Are they good for wide calves?
- The shaft is on the roomier side, but calf fit varies by wearer. Try them over the jeans you plan to wear, since the leather does relax with time.
- Can the Frye Campus 12R be resoled?
- Yes. The rubber-and-leather outsole is stitched and can be replaced by a cobbler, which is part of why owners keep them for years.
- Is the suede version waterproof?
- No. Neither the suede nor the leather version is waterproof, so treat suede with a protector and avoid heavy rain.
