Slightly off post... but does anyone know when Duo will do their £20 off/ promotional code autumn/winter event this year?
They usually do one...
Thank you

Flutterbye · 21/09/2009 22:54

I'm hoping to go this weekend to their London shop, fingers crossed.

CybilLiberty · 22/09/2009 07:18

I'll see you there Flutter! Wear a yellow carnation in your lapel

Ruby's return
I hadn't even considered whether I looked like an inflated ballerina. Thanks - now I've got that image stuck in my head (which incidentally is also v small).

I like the buckles on the Pavia, without them they'd be really boring.

And I wanted chunky.

They are leather lined so rather lovely to wear, which I think is the reason for the extra £££

Am wearing my Avenions today

smellykittens · 22/09/2009 11:35

Bit off topic but I recently bought a pair of Duo boots on Ebay, when they came they were too big so I relisted them and made £30 profit - result!

Sorry just wanted to show off

MichKit · 22/09/2009 11:43

I've got the brown Ravennas. Classic and cool (errr, warm!).

castille · 22/09/2009 13:22

Bet you don't come out with Brindisi in Brown, Cybil

But do tell

DillyTantay · 22/09/2009 15:29

ebaying- they weren't back with buckles?- if they are they were mine and I sold for £60!

I have Malmo in black - about 2 or 3 years old, Comfy, but the foot and ankle fit funny. I have chunky calves and wide feet, but rather dainty ankles, and the Malmos are really baggy round my ankles.

rofl when you read this htread throuhg, it sounds like a code for wartime manoevres.

Just got back from the London fitting shop- and have bought Florence in black-gorgeous.
Sizes vary- I got a 42, am normally 43- yet some 43's I couldn't get my feet in.
Originally went for either Oristano or Volterra, but Florence fit best- nice and high.
Also visited Rigby and Peller (another thread) so am very poor now. But I had a lovely day! And a glass of wine with lunch.

McDreamy · 23/09/2009 16:12

Just come on here to have a look at all the lovely boots! DH promised me a pair for my birthday last Feb - bought me a gadgety docking station for my ipod instead (think it was for him really), was very grateful but not a pair of Duo boots.

CybilLiberty · 23/09/2009 16:13

dead do they have a good stock in the shop..anyhting different from web site?

purplepeony · 23/09/2009 17:34

Oristano is nice and so is Etienee.

Ravenaa is ok but a bit boring.

deaddei · 23/09/2009 17:49

No nothing different- it was lovely trying on different styles/widths...I hate to think what it would cost me in return postage if I'd ordered a few!
Really nice service.

sequinedsteaknife · 23/09/2009 18:20

Well I'm a happy duo boots lady too. I got a pair of Bern in the red colour they did last year on Ebay today. Hurrah!

Though am a bit of R&B visit.

sequinedsteaknife · 23/09/2009 18:20

oops, meant R&P of course.

josette · 23/09/2009 21:31

Free postage and package code AW09... hope this helps! they say it is for one week only.

greenjeni · 25/09/2009 15:44

Thanks for the Free Postage code, i just ordered some Amora's (not the mock croc) and the free postage works

deaddei · 26/09/2009 15:41

They are GORGEOUS. Lokk amazing with leggings and long top.
dh has bought me the left one.......
I now want cold weather.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 26/09/2009 15:53

My Berns arrived the other day, they are sooo lovely! It is too hot here to wear them today

MorrisZapp · 26/09/2009 20:19

I'm a Duo virgin but I have wept with frustration in shoe shops across the land and given up finding a nice pair of boots that I can actually zip up.

Can I ask some q's?

Do people have a 'calf size' the same way they have a shoe size? ie if I got measured, could I then order online? There is a Duo shop near me.

Roughly how much do a pair of knee high leather boots cost from Duo?

Would you choose to shop there if you had normal calves?

Thanks!
