Sizing on TSV Fly London

pgdark19 — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 14:10:44 GMT

Hello Ladies! Wondering if anyone can help me decide on which size to order. I typically wear a 6.5 to 7 US. I have a few pairs of Birkenstock sandals in size 36 and a few pairs of closed toe shoes and boots in size 37. Size 36 in UGG (which IMO run big) Are these similar in size to Birkenstock? Do they run small?

Would love to order a pair for myself and my sweet mother-in-law

Thanks in advance!

Yes!!! Someone else with my problem. I would like to order the silvery/metallic color, but there is a problem. I am either a 7 or a 7 1/2 shoe - Unless I have worn the brand several times before, I don't know what size I need. In FLY London, there is a variance between the 7 and 7 1/2. To get a good fit I woud need to order both the 36 and 37 to decide which one I need. Almost all the other sizes combine the 7 - 7 1/2 or the 8 - 8 1/2 so you can be more certain of which to order. As a result, I will not order the shoe. Disappointed.

I am a 6. In most FL I'm a 36 and it just fits. In one pair I tried, it was too short but I was swimming in 37. Looking at the models, most sizing appears too short as their big toe hangs over the edge.

Thank you for your response! I just heard the speaker say to size up. He said If for example you wear a size 7.5 get the 38. So, they must run short. I'll go with the 37 and hope they aren't too big

The Alegria sizing and the Fly L sizing are not the same.

I'm also a 6, but the 36 in Alegria was too big (returned). Fly L is more like Birki sizing, so I ordered the 36, also the proper size in Fly Flot -- if this analogy helps at all.

Herein lies the reason I'm not buying. Not paying to ship them back when they don't fit. I'm a 7, and almost always a 37 in European sizing. I suspect, given this particular size chart, this brand runs more like Spring Step. That would suggest I order a 38. I'd be all over that taupe color, but I'm not paying to send them back.

Most companies return shoes for free. Are you listening, QVC?

FYI

Rue La La has FL today. I have this one and it's $75 cheaper (than I paid) at Rue.

I wear a range of shoes sizes from 6 1/2 to 71/2 with a Medium width I have found that Size 37 in Fly London fits perfectly. I own several pairs and they are all size 37. I have tried on in several styles size 38 and they are too large.

@pgdark19 @culebra @muttmom @faeriemoon @HarpaI've worn London Fly for several years. My foot is slightly wider than a medium with, so I go up to a 39. If they were narrow, I wouldn'tMy toes don't quite come up to the leather cording around the toe, but they do fit.

Your sandals are too short if your toe is even with the end.

My family owned the city's largest fine shoe store for 50 years.

I'm a size 8, and I ordered a 39, which is an 8 - 8.5. The shoe feels wonderful on my foot, and the arch hits in the right place, but my toes are about 1/2" from the edge. Should I try the next size down? I'm afraid if I do my toes will be at the tip of the shoe. These European sizes are confusing!

@Marmee4

Do you have any spacing at all at the heels?

Measure the length of the shoe bottom, and perhaps if someone can measure the length of their size 38s, you can get a better idea if a 38 would be a better size. One-half inch of space is too much. (That's what happened to me w/ the Alegria.)

I was at the bottom of the Alegria sizing, (6-6.5) but at the top of the Fly London sizing (5.5-6). The Fly Ls fit perfectly on me, with about an 1/8" space at my toes, as well as my heels. Alegria was too big.

If your toes reach to the cording, then that, I think is a better size. The cord edge is about 1/4" - 3/16" of an inch.

I agree that the sizing can be confusing, especially if it is different between the manufacturers. Sometimes just a 1/4" makes all the difference.

Thanks for responding, Harpa. My heel fits perfectly in the shoe....goes right to the cord. I did adjust the laces so I could slide my foot a bit forward, and it looks good. My hubby thinks it looks fine. Just to be sure, I ordered another pair in a 38. I'll see which fits better. On the other hand, I ordered the Yame shoe, size 39, and it's perfect! I guess every show runs different. Thanks for your input! Have a nice day 😊

I have a few pairs of Fly Ls. I take a 7 ½ or an 8. My personal rule is 38 for sandals,open toe and 39 for closed toe. Hope you find which size works for you! I love them. So comfy! Wear them in good health.

I just received my TSV in Luna and love the color. Everything fits great I ordered a 36. My only issue is the backstrap is alittle tight and hurts the back of my foot. Will the straps tend to stretch? I really like these and do not want to return them.

The reviews of the TSV are not good. Many posters complained about the sizing in both length and width.

I was surprised to read one color was made in Portugal while the black was made in India. According to the poster the quality of the shoe was not the same.

Thanks for writing, Beachy. Even though the 39 doesn't fit bad, I ordered the next size down. I'll keep whichever one fits the best. I will remember your "rule" when ordering this brand next time. Thanks for your help!
