I bought these and the Veronica Frye slouch. These are much sturdier than those. They don't look good with skinny jeans but great with boot cut. They are going to be awesome this winter, and many winters to come. The smell is wonderful, I love opening up the closet and catching a whiff, no more stinky closet smell. I wish the brown were a little darker but overall I am very satisfied with these. You can't go wrong purchasing a pair of campus frye boots.
