The Flora Boots are designed in collaboration with the Bata Shoe Museum. Every pair of shoes from the In Bloom collection benefits and supports The Bata Shoe Museum in their study, outreach, and conservation of historic footwear.

Design & Production
The shoes are excellent quality and by far the fanciest i’ve ever owned! That being said, I do have wider calves and will need to purchase longer shoelaces. It’s nearly impossible to find shoes in a 13w, so while I wish the fit was just slightly larger I’m just glad I was able to get them on, and they’re incredibly comfortable so far!
Be sure to check your shoebox for extra laces! Many of our wide boot styles come with two sets of laces to allow for more adjustable fitting. The pair on the boots is usually the shorter one, and the extra pair in a baggie is usually a longer one.
I am blown away by the quality of these boots! They are so well made and beautiful. Even more happy with how comfortable they are! I have arthritis in my big toes and pretty much live in barefoot shoes with special inserts to stay comfortable. These boots have the illusion of being narrow at the toe for a sophisticated look, but my feet had plenty of space to spread out and I could wear my arch supports inside too! I can’t believe how comfortable they are! I got them for my wedding.
These boots are so well crafted and comfortable. I will feel like a queen on my wedding day wearing these.
These boots are stunning in person. Beautifully finished, buttery soft leather inside, extra set of heel caps included. Got them for a wedding but looking for other reasons to wear them! Fancy pants boots!
They're stunning & are a perfect fit, even with wide with shoes it's a bit of gamble if they'll be a little to small but these are just right.
