Fly London Shoes
Always Innovative - Never Conventional
Fly Shoes were started in the mid 90's with their iconic collection designed and created by Terry Knight. The idea was that at that time there was no 'branded' casual shoe available to the fashion-conscious young lady about town. They were an instant hit and have been making an ever-increasing range of individually styled fashionable yet practical he footwear ever since.
Their 'individual' design is key to their philosophy and their enthusiastic and loyal customers - they don't so much follow fashion, as create it. Their foot wear can be worn with wild and whacky outfits in order to stand out from the crowd, or with more traditional attire with the purpose of looking smart and individually stylish.
All the items in the London Fly shoes range are made in their own factory in Kyaia, Portugal, where they have had years of experience in the shoe trade, formerly supplying to the top London brands of the time. This of course ensures that all items follow their exacting methods and quality control standards
Comfort and Practicality?
Fly London also take great care in the more practical aspects of their products - after all shoes and boots have to be worn! To that end their is a great accent on comfort and proper fitting. After choosing from what these days has become a very wide choice of colours and styles, you will find that for each item their is an individual 'sizing advice' section, to ensure that you always end up with a correctly fitting shoe.
It is an interesting fact that the most popular styles over the years have been those incorporating a comfortable sole unit of the "all day" type. Examples such as the versatile Yuna shoe and Mol boot are beautifully styled yet extremely comfortable due to cushioning elements within their design. For these reasons Fly Shoes have grown a loyal and enthusiastic following while still appealing to those who want something totally different and fashionably individual.
Value
Of course another good reason for their great success is their excellent value for money. Here we have a branded product,t on the cutting edge of fashion at a price that makes them accessible to most, while giving their wearers that distinct class of individuality.
Availability
Fly shoes can be obtained from many outlets both on the high street and online. In either case a simple search on the web will give you a list of possibilities. You will also find information on online availability on each of the pages of this site.
Caring for your London Fly Shoes
Naturally, all quality footwear will last longer if it is given the right care. Fly London offer the following advice for caring for shoes and boots.
-
Caring For leather: For ordinary leather footwear you can use your normal shoe polish. However, a number of Fly London Shoe and footwear products have a waxy leather type of finish. For these it is recommended that a polish that is wax based or Dubbin is used in order to maintain their special look. This will also nourish the leather and build their resistance to water.
-
Caring For Patent Leather: The recommendation here is to use a product designed specifically for the care of patent leather. This should be applied using a damp cloth.
- Nubuck Leather and Suede: Unless it has been specifically treated during manufacture Fly London Nubuck leather and suede has no protective barrier. For the best protection of these types of leather a suede protection product that gives staining and soiling protection is recommended. If you should inadvertently scuff the suede finish, just use a Nubuck sponge or brush, brushing with a circular motion. light soiling can also be removed in the same fashion.
So, for those not wanting to just "follow the fashion" and be seen wearing the same as everyone else, we have Fly shoes - unique and innovative - and as they so proudly say: "Don't walk - Fly"
