http://www.fryeboots.com/subpages/catalog-detail.asp?sn=77035&[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have these and I have a pair of Campus Boot from Frye. All of the Frye's I've tried on run wide in the toe, and are much more durable than Ariats, IMO. My Campus boot I found on sale for cheap, $50 4 years ago. I saw a pair on Ebay just like mine (limited edition >bg<) for more than the NEW price. Can't say that for many other brands. I want a pair of vintage 1970's Campus boots, but haven't found any. Mine have a pattern on the shaft, they change the pattern every year. This year it's a horse design, I'd like to have a pair of those, too. (Note to self, 14 pairs of boots is enough! You do not need a 15th pair!) The only drawback if you do get a pair of Frye's is that they take at least a month to break in, the first month is beyond misery. They're heavy leather and both of mine rubbed horribly until they had about 300 hours on them. The Campus boot I wear alot and they're my most comfortable shoes now (5 pairs of Ariat boots/clogs, Dansko boots and clogs, Birkie clogs, and a fair assortment of high heels). I wore them to Disneyland last year, and didn't regret it for a minute! Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
