Fly London Mel, Women's Ankle Boots

These are a lovely red colour exactly like the picture. I've always wanted a pair of red boots, so when I saw these at such a good price £48.09 I thought I couldn't go wrong. I now am beginning to recognise the Fly styles that I can get my poorly feet into and I saw these had a zip and are similar in style to two other pairs I own in brown and black so I thought they would be ok. I find Fly shoes/sandals and boots (when they fit) to be the most comfortable footwear that is also stylish. These arrived as promised by Amazon prime. They are as I said a lovely colour. They also look very good quality even with the slightly (in my opinion) worn look. I excitedly undid the zip and then disaster....I could not get my foot into the boot. They are quite ridged to get into and I am sure if I pushed I could have succeeded in getting them on, however having had ops on my feet I find pushing my foot in quite painful. I also think that they may have been a bit hard to break in with my heels the way they are. I'm quite surprised by this as I have as I said boots of similar styling but hope that this is a one off and that I will continue to buy Fly from Amazon where I know I can try on in the comfort of my home without having to trudge around shops and looking rather uncomfortable trying to prize my feet into various boots to find the right fit. Find Fly good quality, as I said stylish and very stable to walk in.

Size 8 needed for size 7 feet.Good sturdy boot, excellent leather. Would buy again.

I love the design of Fly London, but their sizing is appalling. I really wanted these boots in purple, so I ordered them in purple in an alleged size 8 (not from Amazon) & though I loved the design, I could not even get my foot in them! That's because Fly believe size 41 is an 8. It's not. A 42 is an 8.So with perseverance, I shopped around & eventually found the Mel in red (not my favourite purple) on Amazon. They arrived this afternoon (3rd attempt at delivery - if you used Royal Mail Amazon, I'd have been able to collect them 2 days ago & you would not have wasted time trying to deliver to me when I'm at work!) & they haven't been off my feet since. I found them in an alleged UK size 9 & they fit & they're SO comfortable! I love the look & design & even the colour - not had red boots before.There is no way though that they are a size 9. I'm an 8 at most (usually an 8 due to width of feet), but these are the same size as another pair of Earth Spirit boots in an 8 (yes, I measured!!).Message is: Fly, sort your sizing out. You make fab boots, but your sizing is dreadful! Be warned folks when you buy Fly London boots.Just wish I could get them in purple in the right size... *Sigh.

A bit disappointed to be honest. I already own -- and have worn to death -- a previous pair of these perfect and comfortable boots. I was so pleased that they are still available so I'd be able to get a new pair to replace my dead ones, but when they arrived I couldn't even get them on. Identical in every way to my originals, they'd just got smaller. Having been a fan of Fly boots for years, I now don't know what size to order and this makes me sad.UPDATE: I wrote the review above about a dark brown pair I'd bought to replace my original dark brown ones. since then I risked getting my usual size UK6 in this Diesel colour. good colour actually, and this pair fit me just fine. snug to get on and firm support round the ankle when fastened, but roomy enough inside for toes not to be squished. phew. but sort your sizing out please Fly.

Love the style and comfort

I had these exact boots in brown and wore them for 10 years until I literally wore them out! Buying another pair was a no-brainer. They're such a classic style, they go with all types of trousers and skirts. I chose the black this time because it suits more what I wear these days. Looking forward to another 10 years' wear...

Absolutely love these boots, totally comfortable look good. My second pair - others are maroon - I love them so much !!

Liked the style although my husband noticed each boot was slightly different, one had more slouches than the other. I decided to keep them as it barely notices and they were a good price. Comfortable fit when a put them on but pinched on one of my feet after a few hours, I do have a high instep though. I am sure they will get more comfortable as the leather is soft.
