You may want to sleep in them

Received these in black as a lovely gift from a shoe savvy giver. Boy, are they terrific. The witchy style and the total comfort keeps me cheerful all day long.

great

these make a lot of noise as you walk and the purple color fades but i was informed of this by John Fluevog's wife (who was with him in the store!) and has a pair herself. I love the style of these shoes and wear them any time i get fancy

Love the shoes... heels not so much

So many Fluevogs are a little too high for me to wear as an every day shoe, so the Pilgrims are a brilliant mix of awesome and practical. I too found the leather wrapped heels showed damage very quickly, even from resting them on the floor mat of the car while driving. I don't dare walk across gravel in these babies. When the heels kick the bucket, I think I will be finding myself a local crafter to make some solid wood replacements. In the meantime, I waxed my heels to give them a bit more protection from the elements and from snags when they brush up against something. Seems to be working as they got more damaged during the one or two wears before waxing them than in all the wearings since. Be warned though, it will make the leather significantly darker so if you like the colour you've got, leave well alone. Heel problems aside, I still lust after the brown ones and someday hope to make them my own.

Burgundy not Red

The very first thing I said when I opened the box was "That is not very red". Looking on the website you get the idea they are going to be a bright loud red. They are in fact quite dark and more akin to the color of the burgundy suede Munsters. That is not to say that I do not like them. I still love them; they were just not quite what I was expecting. I have wide feet and was skeptical that these would fit width ways even after ordering a half size up. I was surprised when I put them on that they had alot of give. They are a bit snug on my right foot, but that will go away once they break in. Beautiful shoes <3

COMFY

Purchased these today. Love them. They are uber comfy and look fantastic. I went for the black first. I love the lilac but thought I would get more use out of the black....going back for the lilac

Love these!

One of my favorite pair of Vogs! These look fantastic with pants or a skirt for work - and they look incredible with a pair of jeans on the weekend. Love the pointy toe! :-D

Hot AND Sweet

My gosh, where do I begin. These kick hiney. SUPER comfortable and stylin. I'm a true 8, and this 8 is great, I do state. Speaking of fit...because I like to fit in (I'm lying): these are my 5th pair. Go, JF! Go!

LOVE these shoes

I bought the grey pair of these last summer and I wear them more than all my other Fluevogs combined. They are so incredibly comfortable, I don't think there is high enough praise for these lovelies. Now that a red pair has been issued I think I'm going to have to acquire them as well, can't get enough of the Truth: Pilgrims. :-B

Love 'em

These are my 9th pair of Vogs and the ones that I wear the most. I'm on my feet all day (hairstylist) and never have sore/tired feet at end of day when wearing these. Went looking for brown flats and instead came home with Pilgrims in black... now that they come in brown I'll have to get them as well. Fit well - I normally wear a 6 or 6.5 and got these in a 6.5. I did blister a bit on the sides the first couple of wears but then they stretched out a bit and haven't had any more issues.

Buying Online..

If you've only seen Fluvogs online (forum member recommendation) it is essential you develop a relationship with one of the stores and a staffer. Pete in Boston? Fantastic. Nailed the fit of these shoes perfectly.. my first Vog purchase the shoes went back and forth 3x before I gave up. As for these shoes specifically? To get your hands on them you will have to tear them off my cold dead feet. They are shockingly comfortable.. full support if you're on your feet all day. And as Pete said "just a bit Witchy." He described the sole as non-skid, and he was right. I feel solid and stable in these shoes, look like a million bucks, and can say with authority to Mr. Gunn.. fashion does not have to be uncomfortable. Mr. Gunn is obviously walking around in the wrong shoes.
