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.

Customer Reviews
I've never owned a pair of shoes so gorgeous! The embroidery is so beautiful. I have high arches so I had to order a size up, as the shoes have a low-arch profile. They fit well though, and are fairly comfortable.
I bought these for my daughter to wear for her wedding. They are absolutely beautiful and fit well. It’s refreshing to have larger sizes available
These are so gorgeous and fit like a glove. I’m in love. If you are planning on wearing regular socks with these boots, I recommend sizing up or purchasing a wide size. I will be wearing these with thin stockings, which work great with my normal shoe size.
I can’t wait to get married in these boots.
Bought these in black for my wedding and they are perfect. I'm going to wear them as much as I possibly can! They came with extra heels as well which I appreciate as I have has this style of shoe before and wore down the plastic heel to nubs. I bought the arch inserts as well which help a TON with comfort. Really recommend these!
(Also, I saw some reviews about them being too narrow- I thought so too at first! But, just like a corset, you have to unlace them nearly all the way before putting them on and then they will be a dream to wear and fit great.)
I’ve been dreaming of getting these boots since they first came out and now I’ve finally gotten them to wear for my wedding! They are absolutely stunning and fit perfectly. They’re literally the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. Cannot recommend them enough!
