Decided I needed some new Fly London boots. What do you think of these??

Here
They are a nice alternative to the Russell and Bromley pair that I cannot afford. Though let's face it, that £295 R&B pair are amazing!!!

What's everyones opinion? I already have a high dark brown pair (Mol) and I like the idea of short boots to tuck skinny jeans into. I have Uggs, but the are crap in the rain imo.

Nice, but do you really need another pair of boots?

Are they supposed to look ever so slightly second hand vintage?

NGDB are they quite slim around the calf?

Must explain that the Mol boots only just fit my fattish legs and have to be worn with a skirt and tights.
These could be worn with jeans. My dh likes them, but only because he hates my Uggs and doesn't like to go out with me when I am wearing them.

I like them, I think they are much more lovely than uggs too.

I have them, they are great wih narrow jeans but crap with skirt as too baggy, and not as super-comfy as my other Fly boots.

They are a bit like ladies rigger boots, and make me walk like a bloke, a bit!

I saw these this morning and am saving up for a pair. Really like them.

Ah, just seen Leeka's post. When you say they're baggy would they be ok with bootcut jeans, ie; the jeans going over the boot? I don't do skinny jeans in the boot look. Are they uncomfy?

I ordered a pair and will let you know when they arrive on Tuesday.

Sorry just seen this - I don't wear them with wide jeans as too much bagginess to fit into a low boot. Great with skinnies. Comfy but not amazingly so. Definitely a practical option!

I'm not keen. Too lumberjack for me.

I was eyeing these up lovingly yesterday.
