I have several pairs of Fly London shoes but these are the first boots I've purchased. The shoes I ordered at the same time in the same size as the boots are too big and I had to return them and order a size smaller. But the slightly bigger fit in these boots works perfectly because the ankle laces cinch up the fit so my feet have plenty of room and are comfortable but don't slide around. These boots look great with skinny jeans and for all you younger women I'm sure they would look equally good with a short skirt and tights. My feet are very happy in these boots
