Flora Women's Embroidered Boots (Black)
Description

Indulge in a piece of history with Flora Embroidered Boots, an exclusive reproduction of the intricate opera and evening boots popular in the late Victorian period. Expertly crafted with intricate botanical detailing, these stunning satin boots will take you back to an era of sophistication and finesse. Wear them with bustle and Belle Epoque attire from the 1870s to c. 1900, or with modern dress as a statement piece.
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.
As a lace-up boot, Floras are very adjustable for a wide variety of ankle, calf, and instep measurements. The top of the Flora boots does not extend to the widest part of the calf muscle. Measurements scale a little based on size.
These measurements based on size 7.5:
Ankle range - 9 to 13 inches / 22.8 cm to 33 cm
Shaft height - 7.8 inches / 20 cm
Boot top range - 9.4 to 13.4 inches / 24 to 34 cm
Tongue width - 4.5 inches / 11.5 cm
Though the antiques were made in silk, our boots are made in a durable and cleanable polyester satin, the ideal choice for footwear built to last. Spritz your shoes with Angelus Water & Stain Repellent to keep them in good condition and looking swell.

Design & Production
I saw people suggest sizing about a half size up, and I’m really glad I did. I comfortably fit heels in a 7.5 and I got these in an 8. They are wonderfully comfortable and very walkable. You do definitely need to unlace them at least halfway to get your foot in. The thing that cost a star is the wear on the heels. I’ve worn these to dinner once, and the heel area already looks a little scratched. Nothing super obvious, but enough to be annoying. For the price, I did expect better quality. Still recommend these boots!
Wonderful boots! Everything I wanted!
I ordered a half size up as other reviews recommended & they fit perfectly. Absolutely stunning, comfortable shoes.
These are so beautiful and comfortable. My daughter had ordered the ivory pair so I tried the purple. So happy I did. Highly recommend! I ordered 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly.
I got these for my wedding in October, and so far wearing them around the house has been so comfortable. They take some time to put on and take off, but because they're so comfortable, I should be able to wear them all night with no worries. I did get the half size up like other reviews suggest, and that was a good call. They fit perfectly!
