Following in the footsteps of the Campus Frye Boot style comes the Campus Crepe Frye. This boot is available in both men's and women's styles, but the ladies' version appears to be the most popular of the two.
There are two general versions of this boot - the leather lined and the boot with an inner shearling lining. Either one is stylish with the classic look of the Campus, but the leather upper has a bit of a "broken in" or a distressed look without having any sort of a tacky appearance. These boots have a rounded toe and mid-calf style and as the name implies a rubber sole with a "crepe" surface.
Highlights: The wear! These boots are quite comfortable and with the structure of the outsole are quite wearable even in colder weather and snowy environments - the rubber soles allow plenty of traction even on slippery surfaces. (As a note, it is wise to treat the boots if they will be worn in wet or snowy weather.)
Style: Even though these boots have a rather simple style to them, they can really spice up almost any outfit. Women can wear them with skirts, jeans or leggings - quite versatile!
Availability and pricing: If shopping for the Campus Crepe Frye during the coldest months of the year, you can expect to find a lower availability. This time last year (in the winter of 2008) I noticed this as well. However, when one does find them it might be a nice surprise to find that they can normally be found at markdown prices!
