The only thing that bugs me about the Fly ones, is the third strap over the toe.

Some really nice Rocket Dog ones when out shopping last night but didn't have my size and I can't find them online anywhere.

They look comfortable and what my mother would have called 'sensible.' Anything that doesn't cripple you gets my vote!

Thanks

Am no style queen but I like them ! Now £85 isn't bad if you wear them all winter. DH was a bit 'surprised' when I spent similar last year but I wore them virtually every day and they still looked good by the end of winter so worth every penny (he admitted...)

Thanks

If I was going to spend that much I'd probably get some Diesel ones as I really like those.

Do agree that it seems to be worth paying more for shoes. I have a £70 pair of Skechers I bought 4 years ago & they've only really started looking tatty recently.

Thanks

Frumpy?! They are Fly shoes! The height of trendiness!

Agree re diesel - I've got 2 pairs of diesel (one white with green stripes, one beige with navy stripes) and I love them but they are now 3 years old. The beige ones are Ok but the white are very scuffed now on the toe.

I like the brown for winter, can get away with wearing them in the rain.

Oooooh, like the Fly ones and I am not being swayed by a label as I have never heard of Fly before today.
