They sell Fly in Schuh and larger branches of Office. Try them on and then go and get them on Amazon.

the ones I want are full price on amazon, fly Yuna, in red, I tried to buy them yesterday, for £27 -ish, but Amazon wouldn't let me, they didn't have sufficient stock, or something like that... but I am going to Edinburgh at the weekend so I might be able to get them, but pay full price.

I went into Schuh this morning and bought the Fly toe-post ones - totally fabby and the most comfortable shoes I have worn for ages . And, of course, as soon as I bought them, it started to rain .

I have the Fly Yuna and they do come up small.
I've never worn a size 5 in my life except when i bought these. A 4 and half would have been better, but prob still a little tight but they don't do half sizes.

What shall I spend my vouchers on?

I can't find anything I fancy....

I thought some of the shoes were nice in Treds LTP, you could get a few pairs too with the sale, have you any idea what you want?

I like the blink ones, there was a pair that were flat with a button, a pair with a low heel also with button.

House of Fraser sell some Fly shoes too.

My bank card has just been cloned, the only thing I think of is my link to Amazon on here, as when I click on it, it comes up with my name etc, Amazon also retain your card details to save you typing them in again.

I have asked for my post to be deleted just in case you wonder.

Nice but you would need to put another £10 towards them

Your task should you choose to accept it, is to choose LTH a pair of shoes she can buy from Treds from her voucher (link above)

Thanks LTH. I don't think anyone can see your name apart from yourself but its strange my card was cloned more or less straight after that and I haven't used any cash machines in the last week or so and my card hasn't been out of my sight at any other time.

Actually I better warn Fishface.

Oh and my bank put a stop on my account as soon as they saw the mysterious transactions (all in America, farking Dunkin Donuts, I ask you if you are going to try and get something for free would you honestly go there), they were sitting in "pending" so they never actually hit my account which is a relief.

Am happy to go on a quest but I need to know what I'm questing for.

It should be Frye.

Am confused now. I thought she didn't want boots... Please specify my task more clearly or I am liable to fail at the first hurdle and run away crying never to be seen again.

Yep we did. Fantastic find. Sadly I wore them to death...

The "real" ones would make me a very happy yellow & green stuffed animal.

Ladytophamhatt · 02/07/2008 17:55

Mine too, they've been re-heeled and re-soled I think.

Still a weeny bit of life left in them though. Maybe one more winter, if I'm lucky.

real ones would make me a very small happy diecast figure

I choose not to accept this task.

Where is the learning value here? I want to hone my fashion sense not my bargain hunting sense which is fully functional.
