London Fly Boots

[RavenQueen]

Has anyone got any of these boots? I was just wondering what the sizing was like on them, especially around the calf?

I had some. Quite tight iirc

[Cocolepew]

I thought they were ok. I have fat calves (calfes?) and can fit them over jeans too.
They are shit in the rain though.

[Hippychickster]

I have 4 pairs of fly boots. I love them as they are like slippers to wear (on me). I am between a 4 and 5 and the size 4 are perfect. They are quite tight round the calf but the leather is soft. The only thing I don't like is that they are not waterproof at all.

[Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies]

I have fat calves and they fit me fine. But.... they're middle-aged, middle class uniform. Over half of my book group have been wearing them for the last couple of winters. We swap them for birkenstocks in the summer .

[Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies]

If you do decide to go with them, OP, I was traipsing round shops on Saturday and noticed them on sale in Jones and Office (I may possibly have refreshed my uniform).

I got the Chelsa boot version from Fly because I have fat calves and I love them. I sprayed mine with waterproofing and they've been fine in pretty heavy rain. They do size big though - I'm dead on a 6.5 but the 6 is fine with thin insoles.

I have the Fly Mes 2 and they are very snug on the ankle bone but quite roomy on the calf - if that makes sense.

They are amazingly comfortable though.

[Thingsthatmakeugoummmm]

I have these. They are so comfortable. No problem with calf size. If you decide to buy them look on Amazon as I got them for half price on there!

[internaldiscord]

agreed they are comfy and look gorgeous and the Pama style were fine on my gladiator calves. i just don't like how the soles wear through in no time, before you know it you're rattling along when stones get into the holes that wear through the heels :(

[user7755]

I dont think that my calves are particularly big but I had to send these back as they wouldn't do up

I do have wide feet though so sometimes go half a size bigger and this seems to help with other Fly shoes and boots that I have.

[Poppiesway]

I love fly boots. I have 2 pairs of the ones in the OP link and a smaller boot. I wear a pair for work all day during the winter, have lasted me two years. Just brought another pair in the Black Friday Amazon. Worth the money imo

[RavenQueen]

The ones I've linked are exclusive to Schuh so I won't found those ones any cheaper.
So what your saying Matilda is that I'm going to look like middle-aged and middle-class if I buy these boots?!! 😕 lol

[Oldraver]

I've tried the Mes on and had to go to 7 and they were still to tight across the top of the foot, I think because I have high arches (only just realised last year that this is why lots of footwear is tight on me) My calf is 39.5cm

I have recently bought the Suli boots and they are a bigger fit with masses around the calf

[Oldraver]

Have to say I was disappointed when they got wet. I do expect a pair of boots to be able to be worn in the rain.

I think I need to waterproof them

[RavenQueen]

I have images of them going all squishy when then get wet, lol. I thought with them being leather they would be fine if they got a bit wet

[Cloppysow]

Are you sure they're exclusive to schuh? I always buy mine from amazon or ebay - much cheaper. Moreso if you wait and buy them in summer.

[Bambambini]

Just bought those from Soletrader for £129. Second pair, wore the first pair to death the past 6 years. Love them. The calves are a but tight but you can undo the buckle for extra width. Yes, not the best for waterproofing, so wouldn't wear them if it's pouring down or for treadging through snow.

[RavenQueen]

They are the Mes 3 and they the ones exclusive to Schuh.

[RavenQueen]

Everywhere else sell the Mes or the Mes 2. The difference is there's no buckle across the shoe part only around the top part of the boot.

[BikeRunSki]

If size 8, with muscly 42cm girth calf. Fly boots do not fit me anywhere. I have to seek my MC Middle aged look elsewhere.

[RavenQueen]

[Oldraver]

Raven...did you look at the Suli I linked to ?

[Oldraver]

Suli

[RavenQueen]

I did, they're nice. Only a size 3 left now though. I've seen a pair of Dr Martens as well which I like, lol. www.drmartens.com/uk/Women%252527s-Boots/Dr-Martens-Charla-Boot/p/16266001
