I blame you mumsnetters but I am totally considering buying Fly london boots.

in the mol dark brown.

I do have skinny calves though. If anyone has any mol boots on here, can you measure calve width (with buckle on smallest notch, and buckle on largest)

Also, I wear lots of chiffon tops, leggings, skinny jeans, tights, tea dresses. Would they just look silly with the things I wear?

and lastly, I have virtually zilch spare money for boots right now but do need some. A good buy?

get them, they are fab, just bought my 2nd pair thanks to the link last friday.

I wear skinny jeans, dresses over jeans, smock tops, leggings, thick tights, a-line skirts, etc, they look fab and the added bonus is they are really comfortable!

have another glass of wine and hit the 'add to basket' button! you know you want to!

dogonpoints · 10/09/2009 21:11

The problem is i look at the website and i fall in love with the long boots in black, the shorter ones in petrol and the ankle ones in brown... i want them all

But i only need long black ones..

See my dilema?

im thinking i may go to a shop which has them all so i can try them on and see which look best... but then i think bugger it just have them!

Go for it

I love the brown ones but also realise the black ones would go with anything and everything. Why aren't they doing a buy one get one free on these boots?!!

And worst still all the reviews are glowing which just makes it harder to say no....

I heart my Fly Boots.

I have Calf Boots and Ankle Boots.

But both last years

You know what would be great? If I could find a pair second hand in the mol. Then I could try them out first not paying as much, then commit id I loved them as much as I think I would.

Looked on ebay and the other ones second hand are the shorter mes ones

Stop! They are cheapest here, and you get another 10% off if you type in "cosmo" at the checkout.

I bought some the other week, I'd sleep in them if I could, they're blimmin fabulous.

muddleduck · 11/09/2009 18:40

I'm still dithering over these but am worried about my chunky calves.

Please can somebody guestimate the widest calves that could get away with a size 5.

please

cocolepew · 11/09/2009 18:43

I'm slighty of chunky of calve and wear the Mes, they aren't as high as the Mol. They're are sooooo comfy. I've had the black for a few years and have just bought the petrol colour.

BitOfFun · 11/09/2009 18:59

What have you done? I have bought some! I have no idea if I can afford it

No wine consumed either...

pippibluestocking · 11/09/2009 19:07

Bought these last year (in dark brown) - I too have skinny calves, Jewels - they fit fine and look great with jeans & skirts, although not short skirts (too fitted and short - finish 2/3 of way up calf) or tea dresses (too chunky). Would recommend and was thinking about getting some this year in black. Go for it!!

BitOfFun · 11/09/2009 19:21

Oh poo, my calves are 14 1/2" at the widest point- I hope they still fit

Ooh get them, get them. I bought the brown mol knee boots last winter and they are lush. And very comfy. And they look good with everything.

Also have these which are equally yummy.

BitOfFun · 12/09/2009 13:33

That shoe envy site is brilliant, and the customer service is fab too- I cocked up my order and the woman sorted it straightaway, even after hours.
