Fly London bargain!!!

[joliejolie]

Someone please take advantage of this obvious misprint on the Office website.

I checked and it does stay at £40 when you add it to your basket. No idea whether it will get all the way through the process, but it is worth a try. I have a pair already, so it is no use for me.

no, you're right grasping was unfair.

on the faq it says to phone them if you haven't had a confirmation within 24 hrs, which would have saved thinking you had them when you didn't. the 20% offer seems generous to me.

Fair enough, thanks for coming back to say so.

For the record, I did phone - and someone told me I did have them! Then nowt for four days till I phoned again and was told I didn't. Which was why 20% off seemed a bit sh*te when I'd mentally been thinking Yippee, 80% off!

also fair enough, in that case i can understand you being rather more peed off than i was.

Im gutted i missed this! have been eyeing those boots up for a while...

'I can see your point, but noone wanted a soapbox...they just wanted their boots.'

They here, they're here! Very very nice. can even get them on over jeans so not too slim. Ever so slightly distressed looking so presume this is what teh "rug" bit referred to or I've got some battered ones from back of cupboard. Not complaining at £40

Thank you, thank you joliejolie

indeed, point taken.

I have just got mine. Would not have paid full price for them but for £40 they are great. My calves must be chunkier than I thought though as they are a bit if a squeeze! Must be all the cake walking that I do.

Yes said I think that leather is the waxy, distressed leather, like my biker boots.

Mine have just arrived, but don't fit on the calf - before you all get excited (!) - I'm 37 weeks pregnant, so am hanging on to them - I do plan to be (quite a bit) thinner than I am atm, so can use them as testers/encouragement...

Temptation to ebay them for almost full price is strong, mind, but they are lovely, and I WANT TO WEAR THEM. That'll get me out of the house pushing the damn pram. Thanks, jolie!

It is a distressed look leather, but the box was very distressed!!! So much so that it adds credence to the fact they were just being sold off! Oh, I love them. Not taken them off since they came.

have size 6 pair here that are too tight.. will sell on to a regular MNer.

don't have paypal, but will take a postal order and will despatch boots when money recieved!

CAT me!

I've CATted you Lulu!

Now I've sent the message though, it occurs to me I should have asked would it be possible for you to measure the circumference round the top? It's just there's no point me buying them from you if they might be too tight anyway...

i;ve just parcelled them up flowery! and i don;t know where my tape measure is.. give me a few minutes to sort it out

35.5 cm

they are slightly highter at the fron than the back so i have measured from the lower bit all the way round..

Ah, I'm not skinny enough then! 35.5cm is pretty slim-cut isn't it? I measured both myself and also my existing boots, and it's no good.

Thanks for measuring anyway Lulu and please disregard my CAT, I'm sure there are plenty of MNers skinnier of calf than me who would be happy to take you up on your offer!

yes, i am usually ok with knee boots, but these are quite slender. sorry they're no good for you..

will hopefully make some otehr Mners day ! [s,ile]

rut roh
I hope if mine turn up that they're a little bigger with the bigger size boot

and I dont have particularly big calves I dont think!

Lulu -I would love to buy them off you but I'm not sure of the etiquette here as further down the thread DogAgain said that I could maybe buy hers if they don't fit her -although a)she might not even get her order through b) they may well fit her anyway in which case I won't get the chance.

I desperatley want need these boots just don't want to p* anyone off in the process

What do you think?

PS-I've measured and they'll fit me fine

i don;t want to tread on any toes ( as it were!!) maybe wait until dogagain has got hers and see what happens. if no takers in a couple of days, i will return to fly london as want to be able to get a refund.

if dogagain not selling you are welcome to mine, norbert.

Thanks Lulu.

I'll keep watching the thread and if DogAgain isn't back in a couple of days I'll be in touch so please don't send them back yet!

Lulu, I'll join the queue to get yours if nobody else wants them. Not sure if you'll recognise my name though. But I did have a VBA2C - does that earn me any points?

ooh, joined this late but i'd love a pair in a size 6 so can i be added to your hopeful waiting list please LuluMaman? (i appreciate i'm nowhere near the top but figured there was no harm in asking!)

yes, vaca, i remember you, but even a VBA2C won;t swing you up to the top of the list

so Norbert first in line, then vaca and then miamla.

maybe if you all live near each other you could have them on rotation??

they are lovely boots, leather is butter soft and got a funky lining.. just my calves are too porky.

hope whoever ends up with them loves them too!!
