License to Chill

I'm a somewhat of a regular at the NYC store, and there was a bit of a kerfuffle when I admitted that I didn't have the Bondgirls yet. Despite assurances that they would quickly become one of my favorite pairs of Vogs, I put this staple boot to the side in favor of other styles. It wasn't until they appeared in green that I realized the staff had been right all along. From the moment I zipped them up, I felt like they had been made for me. I usually take an 8.5 in Fleuvogs, but the 8 fit my feet and calves like a glove. A big, tough, stompy glove. They're not quite office-wear, but I wish I could wear them every day!

any hints?

I bought these boots in SF in about 2001. I loved them like they were my first born and they were worn in well and fit great. However, I moved to England in 2003 and it appears being in the baggage hold for 12 hours did something bad to them, and now they are too tight! (I'm the same weight, so it's not having fatter feet!) Yes it is 7 years later and I can't wear them but can't part with them either. Any help to make them fit again?? :-(

love them

I just bought these boots in red. I love them. I was worried because I had read the reviews about the boots being too tight on the calves for those of us blessed with athletic calves. I tried them on anyways, in my normal size and of course they were too tight around my calves - over an inch. They stretched them for me and they fit perfectly now. @>-

I am officially, now a super hero

I love,love, love my Bond Girl boots! I'm not sure what shoes I wore before I got them, because I found a way to wear them every single day from December until April, when it became flip flop weather. And it was only reluctantly that I took them off, because I can save the world in these boots. Granted, I haven't been asked to yet, but I know I could, and that's all that counts. They are so comfortable on the inside and so "don't mess with my high-fashion ass on the outside. And that is soooo important at PTA meetings and the grocery store.

I hope the replacements are better

I just ordered my first pair of Fluevogs. They were Bond Girl boots and cost $328 with tax. When they arrived, I noticed the stitching around the zipper on the left boot was really wacky - the stitches were uneven, crooked, and stitched over 3 times in some places. It looked like something a little kid or a drunk person might have done. Inside the boot was a purple post-it note with the notation "Bond Girl with Busted Zipper x2." There was also a Fluevog invoice from January stating that the Boot had two broken zippers. I guess they sent me a returned boot that had been repaired. I was furious - that is seriously wrong for $328. That's more than I have ever spent on shoes before. If I need expensive shoes, I am sticking with Frye boots from now on - they're cheaper than Fluevogs and the quality is amazing.

()-) ]:o) I love these boots. When they first came out with them almost a decade ago, I got a pair of black ones -- I wear them every chance I get. Now, with the wine color, I could not resist getting a second pair. I ordered the last pair of size 8 wine Bond Girls left in the USA from the New York store -- they arrived 2 days ago and I am in love. They are beautiful. They fit my muscular legs. They are comfortable right out of the box. Pics do not do these boots justice......

Ughhh so tight

I bought these shoes in a size bigger than I normally would (9.5 US) But unfortunately I have large calves of 16 inches and there was no way i could get my wide feet and large calves into these boots. If you buy these make sure you have skinny legs. :/

Best. Boot. Ever.

Got my black Bondgirls three days ago and haven't taken them off yet, and have received oodles of compliments!!! They fit PERFECTLY out of the box and were immediately comfortable--the most comfortable boots I've ever worn, period. I feel like the world's biggest badass stomping around in these beauties. Best. Boots. Ever.

Just had to have them...

I saw these boots and just fell in love with them. Normally I wear a size 6 but bought 6.5 because I have big calves - also I find the ankle portion fits tighter. They still didn't fit but I was determined so I had Fluevog Queen start the stretching process. I was having to go back a couple of times because my calves are 15.5". DID I MENTION HUGE CALVES? Anyhow I finally decided to get my own stretcher and do it myself and after a week THEY FIT! They are awesome boots, great leather that endured the stretching and look great with a short skirt. So worth it!
