If I could only choose one boot to represent Frye, the Campus 14L would be very high on the list.
We sold the Campus at Dear Lucy for years, and it’s one of those boots that has never really left my brain as a buyer. The tall shaft, substantial leather + unmistakable vintage feel are quintessential Frye.
And Light Brown is the color I want right now. It has that warm, slightly ’70s look that makes the Campus feel especially relevant again.
WHY I LOVE IT

Works with denim, dresses + long skirts
Feels very current without actually being trendy
A boot you can own and wear for years
DEAR LUCY EDIT
SOME SHOES DON’T NEED REINVENTING. 🤎
The Campus is one of them.
I'd wear it with a long skirt + chunky knit, a feminine fall dress, or relaxed denim tucked in with an oversized sweater.
But the best part is what happens after a few seasons. Frye leather was never something I wanted customers to baby. Let it crease. Let it scuff. Let it look like your boot.
After all those years of selling Frye at Dear Lucy, seeing the Campus feel right again makes me very happy.
