Shop the $65 Boots That Amazon Shoppers Compare to $500 Frye Boots

A stylist recently told me that a classic boot is a must in a fall wardrobe — and my mind instantly went to the iconic Frye Campus Boots.

They’re a timelessly stylish staple that can pair with just about anything through fall and beyond, but the $498 price tag is less than ideal. That’s why I scoped out Amazon’s fashion department for an affordable alternative and discovered the reviewer-revered Jokacear Knee-High Block-Heel Boots for $65.

The boots have a strikingly similar silhouette, complete with square toes, chunky block heels, and unique stitching along the ankles. They also have a knee-high design that you can wear under wide-leg or flare jeans, or pair with dresses and skirts for an ultra-boho look.

The boots are covered in faux leather and come in a number of different hues, including banana (a nod to Frye’s retro iconic color), plus go-to neutrals like black and chocolate brown. The heel is also covered in a woodgrain finish for a high-end look.

“I have Frye boots and they will last forever — however, these are not $500,” one customer said in their review. “These are super soft and super comfortable… And they look fabulous.” They even noted that there’s “no breaking-in that kills your feet like the $500 boots” with this pair.

The same reviewer also shared that they had extra room around their “slim calves” while wearing the boots, but if you’re looking for something even roomier, you can try these wide calf-approved boots that look so similar for $5 more.  

In addition to our expert-approved fall fashion forecast, Taylor Swift debuted knee-high boots last month during her first public appearance after her engagement to Travis Kelce. So, yes — it’s safe to say these will be right on-trend come autumn.

Pick up the Jokacear Knee-High Block-Heel Boots ahead of the start of the season, or keep scrolling to check out the real-deal Frye Campus boots (plus more lookalikes!) if you want to make a quality wardrobe investment.
