Guide
[Noir]
L'inspiration originale derrière la chaussure Guide vient de la fois où John se dirigeait au studio de conception Fluevog pour une réunion et fut confronté par une Guide cherchant à vendre ses biscuits. John, se sentant généreux (et affamé), décida d'acheter plusieurs boîtes de ces délicieux biscuits (on ne connaît toujours pas le chiffre exact), pour les offrir à ses employés dévoués et travaillant. Pendant sa marche, la faim le vainquit, et il a commencé à manger joyeusement. En premier, la boîte menthe et chocolat... ensuite celle des biscuits à la noix de coco... et puis une autre boîte... Par le temps où John arriva au studio, il constata qu'il avait mangé tous les biscuits. Il jeta les boîtes et détruisit toute évidence de ce qui s'appelle désormais « Le grand massacre des biscuits ». Malheureusement pour John, l'histoire fut dévoilée pendant la réunion où tous remarquent sa cravate remplie de miettes de biscuit.
Souriant en pensant à la leçon inestimable qu'il a apprise ce jour-là, John dessina une chaussure pour femme séduisante avec un cuir épais et souple d'une surface perlée, des boucles signées Fluevog, une plateforme cachée faite de liège recyclé, le tout sur une semelle tunite avec une adhérence en caoutchouc. Cette chaussure de style Charles IX version hyper moderne vous offrira une fondation solide pour les défis qui se pointeront (comme ne pas manger tous les biscuits d'un coup sans verre de lait.) Prepare for the Future, choose well today. (Préparez-vous pour l'avenir, faites le bon choix aujourd'hui.)

The angle of the toe swoop makes them fit a half size small.

I just got these and LOVE them! I got the turquoise and the color is AMAZING and they're super comfy. Now for the most important of Fluevog reviews... sizing. There are no Fluevog shops near me and so reviews are where I figure out what size I need to order.
The styles and sizes I wear:
7's in Bellevues and Wonders.
8's in Wearevers and Coffees.
and... 8's in Prepares!

i heart my new fluevogs!
i bought these in toronto after much research, including reading these reviews. so cute, and comfy, and many compliments already.
i will say that they fit me a bit small. i have average width feet, and typically wear a 6.5, occasionally a 7. the 6.5 were a little narrow and snug in the front. if you float between sizes, err on the large side.
i agree with most of the positive comments i've seen, so i won't repeat them. but, i'll add that i love how quiet they are! i have so many shoes that are clopmy. these are better for sneaking!

I love these shoes, so comfy, and I get compliments everywhere I go from total strangers. I got the turquoise pair at the NYC store. LOVE THEM! :-)

Turquoise Happiness
How much do I love these shoes? This much!
I got them at the Gastown store in March. My husband and I make a regular pilgrimage from the Island for our anniversary every year and we buy each other a couple of pairs. These were not a shoe I thought I would like until I saw them on my foot.
Absolutely love them. I also found them true to size (9.5 for me, although I also have my 2nd toe bump the end), and supremely comfortable. Thank you!

Ok, so I have been wearing Fluevogs for years and have been creeping the reviews for each new pair I buy, but I have never written a review because well, I am not one to put it out there. HOWEVER: these shoes rock. I intially ordered size 9 1/2 which is what I wear in the Operettas. But they were too small. So I ordered the 10. Turquoise. Since they arrived yesterday afternoon, I have only taken them off to sleep. I have horrible feet - bunions, hideous monster feet - and these are so soft and so easy to walk in. The only problem is now I feel like I am cheating on all my Operettas. I think the Guide is my new bff.

Orange ones are not orange- very sad
I bought the orange/red ones thinking that they would be as orange as the picture.
Sadly they are not. They are a dull rusty brown- think 70s leather coat. Very funky, but not what is shown on the site.
Colour aside: holy crap these are a lovely shoe.
Too bad I have to return them. I may get the blue leather ones as I already own teal minis. (:`( (:`(

I got these from the NYC store in turquoise - size 8.5. I hope the toe box will stretch as my second toe keeps hitting the edge. (I had tried on the size 9 but they were loose).

These are my hands down favorite Vog shoe so far. I own 3 pairs (3 colors), and the turquoise are my favorite. They are my 'usual' Fluevog size 10 and feel like they were made for my foot, and my foot alone. They loosen up a bit after a few wears, but that just makes it easier to slip them on without undoing the buckle. Perfection! @>-

Love, love, love.
Bought the turquoise in Boston on a whim - so comfortable from the moment I slipped them on I couldn't resist. The 7s (my usual Fluevog size) fit perfectly with tights or thin socks. (Haven't tried them barefoot yet.) Walked a good 3 hours around the city in them the next day, with no rubbing, no blisters, no problems at all (and my feet are finicky, especially in the toe area). Only wish the orange had been in stock. Now I may have to splurge on a second pair....
