Frye Campus boots, women's size 7, brown leather

Knee-high Frye Campus boots in brown leather, a style that has stayed in production for decades and sells steadily secondhand. Value rests on the leather (no cracking across the vamp), the stacked heel, and whether the soles are worn through. Older made-in-USA pairs do better than recent imports.

Estimated resale range (used)

$55 – $130

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Bend the boot at the ball of the foot and look for deep cracks in the leather; cracking cannot be conditioned out.
  • Check heel wear at the back edge and whether the soles are original - a full resole is an expensive job.
  • Look inside the shaft for the size stamp and country of manufacture, and note any stretched-out elastic.

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
