Fly London trainers

I love my two pairs of Fly boots and have been thinking about buying trainers for a while. I returned my purple Uggs, so I do have a bit of money to play with.
What do you all honestly think of these?

I don't worry about having dainty looking feet because that is not really my style. These will just be for the walk to school and running around town.

ooh I like them!

I like them but I think £90 is a bit hefty.

Oh yes I love those. Might get mucky in bad weather, but if you have the cash, I would splash

They are suede, same as my Uggs were, but these seem like they might just be a more durable in crap weather. I'll spray them with rain protect and pray the don't fall apart in the rain.

Oh and they are quite a bit less than my Uggs, which I bought with some money that I was given for my birthday.

I went for the petrol blue colour in the end.

I didn't spend that much btw.
I found a really good deal, so it worked out to be £65. Still alot, but not that much!

I also know where the green and white leather ones are going for a good price, if anyone wants them and wears a 7 or over.

did you have problems with the sizing? I ordered some fly shoes a while back in size five, they arrived and I couldn't cram my foot into them. talk about the ugly sister! It was an american five. I sent them back and they refunded my account fine, but I'd left a message giving out about the inaccurate sizing info, and the next time I looked, they'd put up a chart to compare american sizing with gb sizing.

I ordered a 7 and I am usually a 6 1/2.
Tried them on in a shop first before I ordered and they fit perfectly.
And I always go by EU sizing in shoes, so I checked it was a 40.
