Michael's hard to break in

I love these shoes, I get comments and admiring looks, must be the shoes! But they are hardest shoes to break in, and I spent 20 years breaking British Army boots!! I had to buy heel protectors as they are a bit loose in that area. I had so much trouble breaking them in the first few days that I actually injured my left knee; torn ACL believe it or not. Anyway, I am sure my feet will break in in time. Did I mention I love them? Must be the Stockholm Syndrome because I am definitely looking at another pair of Vogs but a soft pair this time. Quality is excellent.

Best Shoes on the Planet

I have worn these shoes for at least 15 years, and will continue to wear them until I drop dead. They are the most comfortable shoes on the planet, never go out of style, and always get me lots of compliments.

Best shoes ever!!

I have had my Michaels since 94' or 95' and they have survived as my favorite pair of sorta dressy shoes ever! Now mind you, over the course of all these yrs, they've seen the inside of many a seedy drinking establishment and no combination of stale booze, cigarette ash, puke, blood, and occasional handing out of a good ass whooping has dulled their finish. Excellent product and hats off to ya!!

BEST SHOE EVER

I bought my Michael's 11 years ago... they are the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. I wear them 3-4 times a week, every week. Just when I think they've had it, I send them back to be resoled and they come back looking like new (fresh polish, new laces and polished eye holes). I get compliments everywhere I go! Thanks!

Uggghhh

Bought a pair Angel Michaels in September this year & cannot continue to wear them as blister ontop of blister with my heels. Have worn them plenty of time to breal them in and still no deal. Tremendously sore feet after wearing them and thats too bad, have heard nothing about good things regarding Vogs and this is the first pair I have owned... Very Frustrating....

Fluevog is my fav!

Been wearing Fluevogs for a Long time now. Love them the most stylish and brilliant!!! One complaint on my new angels is that the heal has come off - can be glued so not a big deal but wish it didn't. BUT I STILL ADORE MY FLUEVOGS!

So Sad...

ya know what sux......Ive been buying Flu's for a while now....got about 7 pairs...Love the heels but then I got a pair of Angel Micheals and now from the bad fit and the fact it is IMPOSSIBLE to break them in (and yes I got the right size) i now have a huge bone spur that may require surgery preventing me from wearing all of the other wonderful shoes that never hurt before. Ironic that my first pair or non heeled flues may have ruined my future in heels, cant even wear my Ophelias for more than an hour and Im worried I wont be able to wear my Ida's that are only a few months old....THANX FLUEVOG, please discontinue those awful shoes!!!!! (Angel Michaels) :-(

2 outta 3...

1. These beauties are totally snazzy. 2. They have have as much support as my weightlifting shoes (a lot!). However, 3. I'm clearly not in the no-breaking-in-required crowd because they also shredded my big toes and back of my heels on a walk through Georgetown. Some heel inserts and moleskin should fix me up just fine though. :-) (I should mention, my feet are unevenly sized and the smaller foot sustained the damage. The shoes are true to size.)

Love my Michaels

I have owned 3 x pairs in black and 1 x in brown and hunter green suede. Please make these in brown and limited edition color variants. I love this shoe but need some more colors...please :)

Only shoes I will ever wear.

Have owned 8 pair of Vogs in my short 36 years of life, while 4 of them have been the Black & Burgundy Angel Michaels as I was turned on to Fluevogs close to 15 years ago. What I love most about these is their versatility as you can wear them with a suite, jeans, I even wear them with shorts- I wear them w/ everything, all the time. The stitching on the heel counter on the left shoe came completely undone which was an easy fix. The pair I'm sporting now are going on seven years- figured this to realistically be abt. 5,500 walking miles as these shoes have carried me all across our fine nation from the Pacific NW to the everglades of South FL. Could most likely get 6 or even 8,000 miles if I were to have them re-souled but am simply ready for a new pair. As for fit I wear a U.S. 13 and they've always been a bit loose fitting which I prefer to a tight fit, although didn't notice the 12&1/2 size option last time I ordered which I will be taking advantage of this time around. Simply put- if it wasn't for my Fluevogs I believe I'd have to learn to make my own shoes. As a Christian man thank the Lord for my satan resistant Fluevogs- pun intended.
