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.

    It is a beautiful shoe. I appreciate the wide width offering. It definitely takes some time to put them on, but once they are on they are great. I do feel that the sole is not that cushion-y, so I will be purchasing shoe inserts to address that.

    Great with Stretch and XL Laces

    The heel cups are pretty stiff and can be difficult to pit your foot in, but one spray of the Shoe Stretch fixed it immediately! The extra long laces are also a god send for people with thick calves lol.

    Adore them!

    My shoe size is an 8WW/E. I got the 8.5W/D and they fit very comfortably! It takes a bit of unlacing to get my foot in, high instep and all that, but once they're in they're IN! Absolutely gorgeous, new family heirloom material.
