Not bad for an old girl.

It was love at first sight and I was able to get these here in Australia!YAY! But Bad news though - way too tight in the calves!! A common problem - yes? So, some advice to all you would be Bondboot girls: PERSEVERE! I looked on youtube and saw an English cobbler stretching out riding boots by 2". This gave me hope so I rang about 10 bootmakers here in Oz and they all said "no love - it can't be done- not 2" Geez! We will need to either cut, pull apart...." ("destory" me thinks!#!) While this crazy drama was unfolding I wore my boots everyday, always pulling the zip up gently, a few teeth at a time with a wire coathanger threaded in the puller upper bit (saves much finger pain). Black Leggings hid the gap which was about 3"long and a bit less than 2" gaping. Four days later TADAAH! They zip to the top. First morning out with black tights and a long cardi, a woman came charging up to me at my kid's school:"I just want to tell you what killer boots you have. I was thinking the other day that I was too old to wear knee high boots but you look amazing! I gotta have a pair!". Now I am 45 years old but feel 21! I think the boots and I have a symbiotic relationship. We worked patiently together to achieve mutual satisfaction. A little pain and effort on both sides but worth it. So, don't give up ladies and don't always listen to silly old cobblers. Shoe elves and fairies do exist I think. PS:Keith from the LA store-you deserve a pay rise for you suppotive emails to me. Thanks!

Will there be more Bond Girl boots?

I was excited to order another pair of Bond Girl boots today but did not see my size. Will there be more sizes available any time soon? (Please say YES!) I have been wearing this style of boot for about 10 years and am ready for my third pair. I should mention I wear them almost everyday for both work- standing on a cement floor- and for play - standing on a cement floor. With the amount of wear and tear they have endured my boots still look fine, but the inner workings have seen their better day. Please keep making the Bond Girl boots as I would really hate to see them go the way of the tall laced Derby Swirl Angel boot or the tall laced F-Boots (I miss both of those too.)

Don't stop!

From the lack of available sizes, it looks as though the company is phasing out the Bond Girls and the Ceces. I hope this is just a temporary shortage, not a shift to other styles. I'd love to buy more of these basic, stylish but tough boots, in interesting colors. Please don't stop making them!

Zipper broke immediately!

I love the look of these boots, but when they arrived, and I put them on inside, I pulled up the zipper only to have it break! I am so sad. I guess I will have to return them. I am not sure how exchanges work with Fluevog when one orders online. (:`(

These boots rock!!

Besides being the most comfortable boot I own, with the roomiest toe box ever, these boots look fantastic and edgy. Tonnes of compliments, and mostly from men! Next up...a green pair.

Classic-to-be

I have loved Fluevogs since my fist pair of tall Angels waaaaay back in the 90's (still have those boots, by the way. Vogs are built to last!) After obsessing over these Bondgirls in black online last year, convinced they had to be my new winter boot, I ordered online without even trying them on. I generally order a half size up than I could really fit into because I can't stand a clausterphobic foot- but these are so roomy and comfy I could've gone smaller. Now a year later, I still get compliments on my "new" boots, despite wearing them quite alot and being pretty active & generally wearing through shoes quickly. In fact, my slim friend (who like me has a hard time finding boots that don't float on her legs) sheepishly admitted that she'd bought the exact same pair after seeing mine! The thing I love about these is how comfortable they are- broke in immediately, roomy in the toe box, warm, can stomp around all day, great traction- yet they are still slim and fabulous. In fact, now that the Adriana Lunas came out (and I started pining for a pair in brown) I had half a second of wondering if I should've waited for those instead- but I just don't think the comfort of the Bondgirl could be matched! Sigh, looks like I'll just have to start saving for another pair...

Will forever be mine

I can't even tell you when I bought these boots, maybe 10 years ago?....what I do know is they still look like I bought them yesterday. In fact, just last week two people told me they were going to steal them. These are my all time favorite boots. I have 4 other pairs of Fluevog boots (which I adore) but these boots far and away get the most compliments. If you are looking for a long term investment in some fantastic boots, go for it!!! ]:o)

Bond Girl for Life

These boots were purchased in in 2003 which makes them almost 9 years old. They get better every second that I have them. I have worn them in the snow, sun, rain and wind. They are everything that is cool and right in the world. I will continue to wear them until they explode off my feet. I imagine when the apocalypse comes I will wear these boots into the bowels of the forest where I will survive on berries and mushrooms until a new society is born.

Five years and still going strong

I've had these puppies for 5 years and wear them every day in winter, and sometimes in the Spring/Fall. Two things to such great love is caring for them. Let them dry out in the open every night, and treat them to some polish every once in a while. Do not attempt puddles, but if you do, just let them really dry out, and you'll be surprised. I love the fit and the boot is my one true love
