Introducing Fly London, the shoe brand that breaks the mold. With their quirky designs and progressive style, Fly London is a breath of fresh air for those who crave the unexpected and refuse to conform to trends. Get ready to fall in love with their creative and exceptional shoes, available at Daniel Footwear.
The Origins of Fly London
Fly London was initially founded in the UK but gained recognition in 1994 when it was discovered at an abandoned stand during a Düsseldorf trade show by Kyaia partners, Fortunato O. Frederico and Ca Lda. They learned that the brand had experienced a rocky start, with the original owners looking to sell. Today, the head office and production are based in Portugal.
Within the first year of Kyaia's ownership, Fly London sold 1800 pairs of shoes. While sales remained modest for the next five years, by 2013, Kyaia produced a staggering 800,000 pairs in their Portuguese factory, setting new records. Fly London has now established a global presence in 57 countries, from the United States to China, and has even expanded into producing bags, sunglasses, and other leather products featured on catwalks worldwide.
The Philosophy Behind Fly London
Fly London is an innovative and disruptive brand that aims to challenge fashion norms and create original products. If you're constantly seeking new and unconventional shoes, Fly London is the brand for you.
The philosophy of Fly London revolves around using traditional construction techniques in unexpected ways. By employing various styles, colors, and materials, Fly London imprints their unique identity into every pair of shoes they create. Their distinct personality caters perfectly to the fashion market, offering comfortable yet disruptive and innovative footwear.
With a firm connection to the traditional techniques of the Portuguese footwear industry, Fly London prioritizes quality and comfort in their shoe construction. They meticulously select the finest materials and infuse each design with impeccable craftsmanship, resulting in strong and durable footwear.
Where Are Fly London Shoes Produced?
Fly London shoes are proudly produced in Portugal by the Portuguese shoe company, Kyaia, located near Guimaraes in Northern Portugal. However, if you purchase Fly London shoes from America rather than Europe, they will be made in China.
Sizing and Comfort
When it comes to sizing, Fly London shoes generally run large. If you find yourself between sizes, we recommend trying the smaller size. To ensure the best fit, use a ruler to measure the length of your largest foot from the longest toe to the back of your heel and refer to the size guide provided.
Fly London shoes are known for their comfort and support. With buttery soft leather uppers and built-in arch support, they cater to common foot issues like hammertoes and bunions. The shock-absorbent molded wedge heels offer stability and height, while the rubber traction outsole provides grip. Many models also feature velcro closures for added convenience. In short, Fly London shoes effortlessly combine style with functionality.
The Price of Innovation
Fly London shoes may come with a higher price tag, but the investment is worth it. The brand's reputation for high-quality, innovative footwear sets them apart from the rest. Only premium leather and rubber are used in their production process, which involves expensive oil and wax finishes. Additionally, manufacturing in Portugal, a developed country, incurs higher costs, ensuring fair treatment of employees.
Moreover, Fly London fosters a space for independent designers to unleash their creativity, resulting in unique and one-of-a-kind shoes. When you purchase Fly London shoes, you are investing in an unparalleled experience that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
