The Best Shoes. Period.

This is my third pair of Guilias (black velvet) and my ninth (!) pair of Operettas. This from a person who never, ever wore heels because a) they hurt my feet and b) I always felt like I was going to topple over. Since Fluevogs came into my life thanks to my friend Deirdre, herself a serious Fluevog addict, I now wear heels all the time. One day my yellow Malibrans, the next my red Bartolis, the next my gray Guilias and on and on. I basically never wear anything else. People tell me all the time "cute shoes!" and I just smile and say thank you (and to myself thank you, John). I even had a woman follow me outside a building to ask me where I got my fabulous shoes. Every time I look at my feet I am so happy that these wonderful shoes exist and I am so blessed to own them. Simply the best footwear ever.

I purchased these shoes in the fall of 2010 for work. These are my first pair of Fluevogs, and I have not been disappointed. I have a very low tolerance for foot discomfort, and thus, am usually found in flats. I can happily say that although I think comparing them to bedroom slippers with heels is a bit of a stretch, they are remarkable comfy for a shoe with a heel. I can wear them all day long without an issue, and I've never had so many compliments on my footwear. Based on my experience with these lovely shoes, I don't expect this pair to be my last pair of Fluevogs

Even better than they should be

I bought the velvet ones, almost on a whim, when they went on sale. The very first time I wore them--to one of the biggest formal events in my community, where they went beautifully with my neo-Victorian brocade and velvet ensemble--I spent five hours straight on my feet, and then had to walk two miles on top of it. I won't claim my feet didn't hurt, but the wonder of it was that the boots kept me going even when they did, because they were so comfortable and good to my (slightly wide and usually cranky) feet. I really can't ask for anything more from a pair of shoes. And now I'm an Operetta convert, on top of all the other families I already love, so this will almost certainly not be my last pair in this line.

Oh My Yes!

I looked at these gorgeous little black velvet boots for quite a while - content to merely ogle as I had just bought the Inges (also lovely but a different chapter to write later). Then miracle of the winter the little darlings went on sale and I no longer had an excuse. Thanks to the Chicago store for getting them to me lickety-split. Comfy, eye-catching and way too much fun. Dress 'em down with jeans (or dress the jeans up?) or pair them with a party dress. Too cute. Second pair of Vogs - this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship... Mwha! @>-

Amazing!!!

After many adventures with the good people of Canada Post, I finaly received my red Giulias. I was so excited, I had a hard time unwrapping the box but finally, here they were in all of their magnificence, like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. They are a perfect fit for my size 12 (and large) feet and the larger toebox makes them sooo comfortable! Also, big plus, I haven't worn them thirty minutes yet and already received a dozen compliments on them! Thank you, Fluevog, for making my feet happy!!! @>-

Fantastic!

Like slippers with heels! I have these in velvet but I plan to get them in 1 or 2 other colors. These are my favorite, most comfortable of the several pair I own.

Great but...

These are my first fluevogs. I ordered the grey/tan. They fit wonderfully and the quality was what I was expecting. I am disappointed though, grey is not grey. The picture shows a nice light grey but my shoes are light beige. I emailed and was told that was the right color and I can return them if I want. So be aware, if you like grey these are not grey.

OMG...these are so AWESOME!

I have had the wine ones for about a month now and have not managed to wear them once without someone asking me where I got those awesome/cool/great boots. LOVE them! Comfy, striking, and original!

Not a security risk - I hope!

If you've read through the comments to this point, you know already that these booties have the power to stop cars in the street and provoke salesfolk to trail you through several sections of a store. My friends have begun to notice that "those days" require "these shoes". I would almost take this for granted, but for a few new Fluevog datapoints: (1) I wore these for four days of grueling touristing on foot throughout several cities in the Pacific NW. They stand up to the damp, to the concrete hills, to the fashion demands (leggings, tights, trousers - no problem). (2) People still stopped me to ask about my shoes. (This is probably less of an issue for those who sport the black versions - I'm rockin' the wine.) But never before has anyone hopped out of an airport security checkpoint, abandoning her line and luggage to ask about my Giulias. It's a little scary to see the TSA spring into action about a footwear-related emergency. My goodness, I love these shoes. The 10.5's fit my 10W feet beautifully. They go with everything I own, because they, like me, stand up to the wardrobe. They are engineered so the height of the heel is comfortable, and I can walk (or run) without fear of losing a heel or turning an ankle. I never thought shoes could, or should, fit so comfortably and well - my first pair of Fluevogs have convinced me that these things are possible.
