loved them, but bummer on the quality

my first Fluevogs. i absolutely LOVEd the giulia boots- they were so cute and go well with ANY outfit (long or short skirts & dresses, long pants, shorts);one of the most versatile pairs of footwear i have ever owned. they are also quite comfortable. i've been enjoying them for the short time i've had them. so i was devastated when i noticed a few days ago that one of the button caps had fallen off somewhere. with exposed metal and needle sticking out where the button cap used to be, the boots are very un-cute and un-wearable now. bummer on the button quality. : ( : (

Beautiful, comfortable, AND sexy

These were my first Fluevogs as well. I got them in the wine color and I get compliments on them every time I wear them. I have a thing for red shoes. ;-) The Operetta family must have been made just for my feet, and I'm so glad they're available in size 5 (I have short feet with wide toes, so the wider toe-box on the Operettas is perfect). I decided to go up half a size in these (5 1/2) so that I could wear them with sock tights. Amazing shoes!

LOVE 'em

This is my first pair of Fluevogs and I love em. I have a really hard time finding wide enouigh shoes for my FAT feet. When I wore them for the first time I was truly HAPPY they DID NOT hurt my toes. Plan on buying more cause I don't mind paying for comfort and style on top of that. Just wish I could fit into the other styles also but oh well. THANK YOU!!!! ,-> ,->

my standbys

these shoes are definitely my winter standby. They are my first pair of fluevogs and I've owned them for over five years. I wear them all around the city, they are super comfortable and very warm in the winter. Great with jeans and with dresses. I have worn them so much that I have had the heel covers replaced twice. The buttons did fall off, but not for 2 years. And, you can order replacement parts online. You can take them to any cobbler to fix them if you have the parts. ,-)

These were my first pair of Fluevogs and I loved them from the first time I tried them on last month. After wearing them just about 15 times, I was so disappointed when one of the button covers fell off yesterday. I was even more disappointed when I went to a Fluevog store and was told it would take 1 month to repair them! I wouldn't have thought that this quality shoe would have needed repair after just one month. Other than that, I love the boot.

Great boots; small problem

These were my first and they are so incredible, and i love them. Did size up half a size. HOWEVER: a button fell off the SECOND time I wore them, and I was sitting in a conference all day so not doing anything strenuous. I have emailed John Fleuvog twice, with no response. I have taken them to two local cobblers around me, but they don't have a matching button and I don't want to ruin the look with a different button. So now they sit in my closet, having been worn twice.

Almost made for me!

Earlier this year I needed shoes for a wedding I was bridesmaid-ing in, and I decided on the black leather Giulia. The style was well-suited to the theme of the wedding (as well as the rest of my everyday wardrobe), the heels were comfy enough to wear all day and well into the night, and they were almost guaranteed to be unique among the wedding party and guests. The only thing I would have changed about them was the color of the buttons (the wedding had a red and black color theme). The kind and ingenious Willy put forth the idea that I COULD actually have the black buttons changed out for red ones, which I immediately agreed to. I shrieked (quietly) like a little girl when I finally got to pick them up: they were absolutely perfect and just what I'd hoped for! They did, indeed, last all day and night, and my feet weren't too unhappy with me when I finally made it home. Thank you Willy (and John!) for giving me the perfect wedding boots!

I love my Operattas! Couldn't make up my mind on color - so bought 2 pairs - size 7.5 in wine and black. Bought last spring, this September when it cooled off - decided to wear the black pair - they are "just too big". On a positive note, I love my other Fluevogs, have several pairs - most recent - my CBC Radios in blue! Plan to also get the boot version, just have to decide on a color!! ?:-)

I love Operettas, I have 3 pairs of Malibrans and just bought my first pair of Giulias. They fit my short (size 6) wide foot like a glove. No breaking in required. I have a bunion on one foot and the Operetta toe box is perfectly comfortable. The heels are so well shaped and the shoe so well balanced I feel as though I am wearing flats, they are so comfy. Every Fluevog salesperson I have dealt with has been very polite, knowledgeable and helpful. These shoes are worth every cent. They are so stylish but not trendy and very well made. The Giulias are great with pants but really shine with skirts and tights. Please John, we need Malibrans and Giulias in navy blue and purple!
