Way back when I started thrifting, my friend Cathy gave me sage advice: if you ever see Fly London shoes when thrifting, grab them!  I didn’t know about Fly London shoes back then, but I quickly learned they are stylish funky quality footwear!  And indeed, whenever I find Fly London in my size when thrifting, they go in my cart before I even try them on!

Not Rachal's style and not my size, but I bought 'em because I'm a good listener, Cathy.
And so I bought these beauties which I ended up returning because they were too big. #sad
And these Fly London shoes remain one of my fave finds ever!!

Well I recently stumbled upon a pair of Fly London boots that looked like they had never been worn!  A perfect condition, olive-green dream come true!

 

Hello lovelies!
Hello lovelies!

I think these gorgeous leather boots were donated because of the narrow calf.  I know many ladies struggle with the opposite problem, but as someone who has sponge-bob-square-pants legs, I have a hard time finding boots that actually fit my calf and these barely do.

The velcro closure might make you think these are adjustable in the calf, but they really aren’t.

My husband would like you to take note of the outdoor rink in progress in the background- 15 feet longer and 10 feet wider than last year.  (Now we just need some snow.)

Thanks for the advice Cathy!  Fly London footwear IS awesome – especially when it’s thrifted!

  1. Big score , I too have thrifted fly boots but reconsigned them because of the calf fit

      What size are your feet?!! Just curious! We should keep good shoes in the family! 😉

  2. Is this a Canadian brand? I’ve never heard of them but I dig the boots.

      It’s not Canadian -from the UK I think (but not sure). Just funky good quality footwear!! Snatch it up if you find it thrifted!
