40th Anniversary Reissues |
Truth: Pilgrim
[Black]
For his 40th Anniversary, John is re-issuing his favourite styles from each decade, for a limited time, to celebrate with the world 40 years of Unique Soles for Unique Souls. A super pointy-toed, buckled tea-strap loafer with stitched wrinkled leather on the instep, the Pilgrim shoe was one of John's first women's designs which took its initial inspiration from the Victoria era. The updated design includes a rubber sole plate, 1.25" leather wrapped heel, gold lining, and features "white-waxed" leathers that will darken and age gracefully. The Pilgrim is an ode to John's humble beginnings, his values which he still aspires to, and a great testament to the genius we celebrate. "Truth and integrity since 1970"

Lovely but Will Never Fit Me
Just received these and wanted them to fit! Even was wearing a dress that looked great with the lilac. Alas, the shoe in an 8 feels a full size small. Going up a full size would give me a pointy toe out to the stars.

Bought these last week at the Calgary store . . . and they are FABULOUS! I'm finding every excuse I can to wear these as much as possible! I bought the red in a 10.5 (I'm usually a 10 in non-Vogs) and they fit like a dream. The red is rich enough to add a great pop of colour, but deep enough to almost act as a neutral . . . it will go with everything!
I was concerned about the comments I'd read about the wrapped heel chipping, so I just won't drive in them (thanks to some great advice from Idaho!).
I would love these in a brown as well . . . on my wish list for sure!
My First Pair......
These were my first pair of Fluevogs as well and I have to say I am purely and utterly addicted. I am saving for the Victorian inspired burgundy boots. I aim for people to think of me and say "Isn't she the Realtor with the completely amazing shoes?"

I love them
This was my first pair of fluevogs. I have wanted a pair for at least 20 years. I was so excited it was like a kid getting a new bike. I am very careful with them and constantly telling people don't step on the shoes. The first night I spent the whole night saying look at my shoes. You would think I was kid again. I can't wait to get another pair. It is definitively an obsession to ad to my list. ?:-)

thank you sample sale!
I got these in a lovely charcoal grey at the Granville store when I was in town during the last sample sale. They're funky and comfortable (my friends call them my witch shoes), and with the right coloured tights make your legs look as if they go on forever!
My only complaint is that the "wooden" heels chip very easily (as in after less than a handful of wears), revealing white plastic underneath. Thankfully Preet from the Granville store was able to mail over some replacement heels to NB. Now that's customer service!

I don't know why I didn't a pair of these sooner, but I am just thrilled with my brown Pilgrims; color choice was a dilemma, have several red pairs, more than enough black and 2 pairs of gray/purple, so this lovely deep chestnut brown fills a void quite nicely. Size comments were all over the place but as a true 7.5 I find these fit my average-width feet perfectly in a 7.5.
The beginning of my Fluevog Addiction
This was my first pair of Fluevogs and have earned their keep many times over!
I get so many compliments and the colour RED is just camp as a Christmas Tree ,->
They are comfortable but I can only wear them for a few hours because having small super wide feet means I had to go 1 1/2 sizes larger than usual and the cut outs start digging into my feet after a while |-)

Lilac loveliness...
I bought these as a pick-me-up present after a day of craziness last week. And pick me up, they did. The lilac truly does work as an amazing neutral. And I couldn't be happier with the comfort of these shoes. The first time I wore them, I ended up walking several miles in them with no issues at all. Just for reference, I found them to be true to size -- even with the pointed toe, I ended up with my usual size 8.5. These are my third pair of Fluevogs, and I love love love them. :-{

Gawk!!
Love these shoes. Bought them in res and wear them with everything. The pointy toe and lovely big buckle Rawk! When I walk I love the "hooker heel" sounds that they make.
All this and they're comfy too. :-B

Lost my fluginity twice today
This is the second pair I bought today (Black Bellevue Mary Jane) they were the most comfortable for my finicky feet.
Tanya was super patient finally finding the best,most comfortable shoes for my feet. Was worth the time she took as I regret it not a bit, despite the hefty price. My feet will thank me every day I wear them :-D :-D
Thanks Tanya!!
