I did brouse the Amazon Fly Londons. The problem I have is that I want EASY returns.

 

In my view, the easiest returns are Zappos (don't carry them), QVC, and Nordstrom (fewer styles). 

 

I have the feeling that FL styles run in different sizes. Some of the Amazon ones said "true to size" others said "runs large, size down." The pair I have is from mail order Nordstrom. I bought my usual size, 38, but they were way too short. An easy return, just took them to my local store, instantly re-credited to my card! Ordered the 39 by mail, fit perfect. Amazon does have returns, but it's complicated and takes time to get the credit back.

 

Love these shoes, though!

@1ProfessorI have eight! pair.  I found that if they art totally closed in on top, they fit a little tighter.  My foot is a little wider, and after thirty six years of teaching high school, many in three inch heels I also have a bunion.  I can't wear the one below and it looks fantastic on.  Every pair I have is the same size, and they run extremely consistently.

 

One of the girls in the Channel counter in the store where I worked after teaching looked terrific in her orange pair which was this style.  I can't wear it because it's too enclosed.

I have ordered quite a few from Amazon and had no problem with prompt returns.  I love the extremely wide variety.

 

Enjoy!

I teach back-to-back classes this quarter and my feet have never been so happy. My regret is that Nordstrom doesn't carry many styles. Also have Clarks and Dankso but these have a more cushiony walk.

 

To my surprise, I found the sizes are different. I'm a size 8 shoes, always. A size 38 in Dansko, but needed to go to a 39 in Fly London.


The problem with sizing is the US/Euro conversion is not consistent.  In many brands a size 8 converts to 39.

 

I wear a 6 or 6.5 and this can be a 36 or 37 depending on the brand. (Back when I wore Birkenstock, on QVC size 6 was 36 but on HSN  size 6 was 37)

 

This is from Zappo's
