The boot fits true to size in length and a bit narrow. The calf fits a bit large and we recommend you to measure your calf length before purchasing or contact us for advice.

Description
Although it isn't a gate anymore, the Notting Hill Gate is one of the main thoroughfares in Kensington, and gets its name from the tollbooth that once resided there. Now Notting Hill Gate is home to a variety of stores, restaurants, cafés, historic cinemas, and specialist shops that focus on everything from rare records to antiques.
Inspired by antique military riding boots, John drew up designs for a simple, knee high boot made with gorgeous buttery leathers. Using 19th century traditional methods, The zip-up Notting Hill Boots feature leather soles, a custom Fluevog topsole, rubber heel lifts, and a timeless almond toe shape. Legend has it that on rare starry evenings, one can hear the ghost of Jimi Hendrix jamming near the flat he passed away in, making sweet music from the pearly gates.
Approximate Calf Circumference: Size 6-7 (14.25"), Size 8-9 (15") and Size 10-11 (15") Approximate Boot Shaft Height: Size 6-7 (14.5"), Size 8-9 (14.5") and Size 10-11 (15")

Love them
Sole cracking on second pair received in 1 month
Practically Perfect
These particular shoes run a bit small even though I wear a standard 6. It took a bit of struggle to get them on, but you know how it goes with glass slippers. The shaft of the boot also has a bougie fit, narrow. It would be nice if there were a placket behind the zipper to cushion against the leg.
They will take some breaking into, but will be worth the look.
Nicely Made
Love these boots!
Definitely worth the wait!
Pure. Buttery. Joy.
The sizing worked out beautifully thanks to the other comments on this page: I am usually a size 9 and the 10 fit perfectly, even for my very narrow feet.
:-D
I knew these shoes would be amazing and soft and beautiful, but...WOW. I may not leave my house until spring, when I can wear these babies out the door.

LOVE these!
I usually wear a 6 but had to get these in the 6.5. Luckily I have small ankles so the boots just fit over them. I loved them so much I go the black and the brown. Nice work John ]:o)
Love these boots!
riding boot *perfection*
THESE ARE THE BOOTS! i randomly wandered into the new fluevog store here in calgary, more for curiosity and saw these gems and fell in love.
yes, they were initially pretty tight in the calves but they stretched to fit just right after a single wear. they are gorgeous with skirts, and cute with jeans. don't let their simplicity of design fool you, these boots may seem basic in style but they ooze charm. i have had many looks and compliments wearing these babies.
**note: the glossy thick italian leather is prone to marking but a quick buff with a microfibre cloth (recommended by the cobbler at my shoe repair place for a scant $2 - plus i had him put on sole/grips for winter) and all marks just buff away.
...as the title says... riding boot *perfection*. looking forward to a long and beautiful relationship.
