BEST SHOES EVER

I bought these shoes three years ago, and they have become a staple in my wardrobe. They have traveled with me and taken me all over different cities. I am a 20lbs man, and these are my yee ol' faithfuls, if I'm going to be on my feet all day and want to wear heels.... these are the ones I reach for first. I had them for two years before I got a topy put on them and they became even more comfortable. I am a men's 11.5 and bought a W14, and when I tell you they have molded to my feet perfectly, they have. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and will always rebuy!

10/10

When I had my kiddo my feet grew 2 entire freaking sizes and I had to give up my beloved Sineads to a friend of mine. My Bowie boots still fit but with a heel I knew an 11 would not suffice. I wanted a “*****” boot and these fit the bill and came in a 12. YALL. Perfect size, sturdy, shockingly comfortable for a 3” heel and I normally don’t wear heels (we shall see how I do as the day progresses) but I LOVE THEM. I have almost purchased these a few times over the years including the blue lizard looking ones and I’m glad I didn’t because they probably wouldn’t have fit me now. Fluevog this is my solemn request for more Swordfish shoes in a W12. I got narrow feet I can’t always swing the M sizes. The swordfish is my favorite line. I get all my shoes from you and Trippen. Help an Avante-Goth out.

Unbelievable!

I can't believe that anyone could dislike these! The moment I tried them on they felt as though they had been sculpted for my feet...so blissfully comfortable and supportive. I have had them for 2 years and worn them many many times, walked miles in them and stood for hours in them. They have never caused any discomfort. Thank you JF for a truly awesome boot!

Not sure what's going on with the recent reviews, but these are some of the best-made boots I've ever purchased. I went a full size up, and thank god I did, because they are so comfortable. I am an avid heel wearer so I'm used to sacrificing comfort for style, but I can wear these boots for hours and not even remember I'm wearing heels! Just go a size up.

POORLY MADE SHOES and HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

These shoes are pretty but the quality is pretty poor. I got these pair of boots in full price and the heel got wear and tear after I wear them at home for just 1 hour. Mind you that I have other high end shoes from Tod's and Bottega Veneta and they did not get wear and tear until a year later. They also have very strict return policy and will not allow you to return or exchange even it is full price and within 14 days of purchase. Forget about the warranty they promised on the website, it means nothing since they will not help you to repair anything for free. For the price you can go anywhere else having much better customer service and flexibility. I would not recommend this brand for anyone. You don't want to waste your money on cheap made shoes and horrible customer service.

Extremely Disappointed

I bought a pair of these boots in W12/M10 a week ago and could not walk in them more than 2 hours due to very limited space and it caused so much pain on my feet. I went to the store in SoHo to return them for a refund or store credit, but the manager and staff refused and said there were wear and tear-the material came out from the bottom of the heel. If there are wear and tear after one time wear, the quality is pretty bad. Pretty disappointing experience and will not spend any money here.

Poorly crafted heels

Wore 3x and the "leather wrap" came off the heel exposing white plastic. I only went dancing 3x indoors . Buy another brand if you collect "quality boots". They look great, on point fashion wise, and are comfortable, but if you want to constantly spend $150 rewrapping the leather heels after a night out, buy these. Otherwise, buy Frye, Luchesse, or other well known quality boots. These boots are only made for walking and fashion. Not intended to last like the other brands I've had for 30 years.

My Number Ones

I’ve had many pairs of Fluevogs, and many, many pairs of boots. My Cubist Cupcakes truly are the most beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever adorned my feet in. I would buy them over and over… Gorgeous, comfortable and can be worn three seasons. I went up 1/2 a size (which I almost never do) and they are perfection.

Unbelievable Comfort

This boot is not only gorgeous it is truly comfortable. I’ve loved the first time I saw it. Saved up for two years and drove to Chicago John Fluevog store. Jack an excellent person helped me find the right fit and lacing of boot. I can wear these all day as apposed to my Vogs of lesser heal height. The leather is soft and stretches with first wear. The roller bar is the frosting on this fun boot. I have a left foot bunion below my big toe and it is not bothered. I had to practice about 5 minutes in walking but once I found my balance took my little Scottie on a long walk. Buy this boot and you will not regret the cost. Stay Sharp my friend.

Amazing boots with a lot of presence

I really love these shoes and I'm thinking of getting a second pair. They weren't the most comfortable at first, and it took a few outings to break them in. But after that, I can wear them all night while DJing and dancing. I receive a lot of compliments on them, and they go well with my suits and outfits.

A Staple Shoe for Me

I'm sorry to see that others have found these shoes to be uncomfortable. Thankfully, that hasn't been my experience. I've had my pair for about four or five years; and worn them many times--sometimes for hours at a time. Right from the start, I did put a soft insole insert in them. So I recommend that. Although I don't do a lot of heavy walking in these shoes, I think of them as one of my pairs of more "sensible shoes." I've also danced like a maniac in them and had no problems afterward. The only reason I'm not giving these shoes five stars is because of needing to add the soft insole.

Unfortunately I agree with Cheryl...I adore the look of these boots but there is something about the fit of this style that is not very comfortable. When I have worn them it is only for a short time. I've contemplated re-selling them but I just love the look of them. Maybe it's just me.....

UNWEARABLE :(

I absolutely LOVE how these boots look, but I tried wearing them twice in public and both times I had to take them off after 2 hours. My feet hurt so bad that I took them off and walked in my socks in public, to the uber, and through a hotel. I tried every insert, several kinds of socks and tested them around my home but nothing helps. What a waste of money :(

Shawn from our NY store says:

The Cubist Cupcake might require some adjusting of the laces, but once you find your fit, they will feel like a dream! Narrow feet feel fine in their typical size, while normal widths like a half size up, and wider feet go a whole size up.
