  • Our take on the Frye Campus 12R Boot

    The Frye Campus 12R is a women's knee-high boot built on Frye's long-running Campus line, with a 14-inch shaft, a 1.75-inch stacked block heel and a leather-and-cork footbed. It is a slip-on style in suede or leather with a rubber-and-leather outsole and a midfoot support bridge, so it reads as a heritage campus boot rather than a fashion-only one. It suits shoppers who want a tall, structured boot that wears well over jeans or leggings and holds up over years. Against slimmer knee-high rivals it is heavier and roomier in the shaft, and it has no side zip, so getting it on takes some effort.

    What reviewers say

    Owners of the Campus line generally praise the leather quality, the comfortable broken-in footbed and the timeless look, and many wear the boots for years. The most common complaints are a stiff, tight fit at first, difficulty getting the boot on without a zipper, and shaft width that does not suit every calf.

    What people mention
    • Break-inMixedOwners say the boots start stiff and tight but soften into a comfortable fit after a few wears.
    • Leather qualityPraisedReviewers consistently praise the supple, durable leather and suede.
    • On and offCriticisedThe slip-on design with no zipper makes the tall shaft hard to pull on for many buyers.
    • Shaft fitMixedCalf fit is hit or miss, working well for some and rubbing or gaping for others.
    • ComfortPraisedThe leather-and-cork footbed and midfoot support are called comfortable for all-day wear once broken in.
    • WeightCriticisedSome owners find the boots heavier than expected for a knee-high style.

    Questions and answers

    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.

    At Backcountry, for $497.95, as of our latest check.
