Deliberately

I could not wait to try on this shoe. The metallic green is the kind of colour where you'd buy the shoe first then create an outfit to wear them with! I'm a street 10 with a high-ish instep and wide-ish foot. I typically wear a 10.5 in Fluevog flats and an 11 in heels 2 inches and up. The salesperson did not even bother bringing out an 11, she went straight for a 12. And they hurt. Instantly. Like really hurt so much that just taking a tour around the store was sufficiently painful that I did not think any amount of stretching could make them wearable. I was shocked because the flare at the widest part of the foot looks really wide and the toe is really, really long. I'm devoted to long toed Tudors and Super Fines, and these are longer. If they came in a 12.5 or 13 I would have tried them, but I suspect that then the toe length would be so out of proportion to my foot length that I'd be tripping over them like a teenage boy on a growth spurt. There are now several styles in this family and I love them all so much. It's breaking my heart that I can't wear them. If there's any chance of altering the last for a second run of shoes in this family please do it! I know not all shoes are for all feet, but it sounds like even many folks with narrow, low volume feet are finding it hard to wear these. Please help! Go up to 13 and/or have another look at the shape of this last, pretty, pretty please? Signed, Devoted Vogger

I saw this shoe and had to try it on but was concerned that it may be too pointy. I have wider feet. I've bought other pointy Vogs and it depends on the family. Was nicely surprised that like other ones, I just needed to find the right size- which in this shoe was a whole size larger. I am usually a 9 but took a 10 so I could have room for my toes but did not feel like they were falling off. These look beautiful on and are great to wear with professional office clothes- to feed that old Goth soul of mine, that has the Corporate 9-5 job but still listens to Siouxsie and the Banshees. Thank you to whoever designed these. Love the green color too!

Based on the reviews and sizing info and my history with pointy toed Vogs, I ordered a size 7 instead of my normal size 6. Truth be told I could’ve ordered a 6 1/2 and it would’ve been fine. I decided to keep the 7 because they feel really good with an insole. I used an insole that’s 3/4 with extra arch support since I have a high arch and also, often times shoes tend to dig into my ankle bone so this worked out really well. Plenty of room for my toes, not as narrow as the graceville family. I ordered the green and I can’t wait to wear them! The heel height is perfect and just right for many outing since it’s only 1.75”. I also received THE BEST ❤️ note from NOLA! XX my Fluevogs friends! Next time I’m in Nola, I’ll definitely visit.

I originally ordered these in a 8, but they were too small, exchange them for a 8.5, and they were still too small, upgraded to a 9, which is 2 sizes up for my normal size and they finally fit. I have a very narrow foot and all the other sizes were extremely tight in the toes. I compared them against my sinead's there really isn't that much of a difference if I put them next to each other. The nine literally fits like a 7 1/2. I did purchase these in the black but it seems like other buyers are having better luck with green ones fitting better. Maybe a softer leather or made at a different factory. But 2 sizes up worked, its crazy that the fit was so hard on these.

The neutrals I didn't know I needed until I saw them...and was instantly smitten! I wasn't sure about the fit, but a quick email to a fluevogologist confirmed that these would work in the same size I use for other pointy Fluevogs. I am a Street 8-8.5 and a size 9 usually sees me right and works perfectly for this style. The shoe itself is not narrow, but it cuts sharply near the toes so sizing up to accommodate my toes was the right thing to do. The double straps endure I don't walk out of them and they look absolutely amazing peaking out under wide leg and barrel trouser/pant styles. I get lots of compliments every time I step out in these babies.

I have a very narrow foot and a history wearing pointy shoes. I was quite surprised when I went up a full size and I had absolutely no wiggle room and it hurt to even walk in these. My toes were crammed in there and I have very, very narrow feet. Let me say that I am a street size 7 and I had to exchange my 8 in these for full size and a half of an 8 1/2. They are a bit better but I will have to stretch them a little bit to get them to work. Walking in these is pretty easy for me as i've worn pointy shoes since the mid 1980's. The leather is pretty soft but firm on the edges. As for the style they are incredible, very unique and make my gothic heart as happy as can be. The smaller buckle with the little metal end that's in a point can be a little bit hard to adjust and needs a little work as the buckle metal end is too big to come out of the buckle itself. I had to loosen it as much as i could and move the notch over while curving the leather strap and then put the notch in and pull the end back down. With a little patience, it can be done. They do make my feet look a lot bigger especially since I had to size up a full size and a half. But it just makes them that much more unique. The detail on the other buckle is stunning and easy to tighten or loosen. I am thankful that the sole at point comes out further than the actual shoe. This helps especially when walking not to damage the point as the point usually gets caught on concrete when you're walking and wears out quickly when sole is the same as the point. They are well made and pretty sturdy. I think if you have a wide foot these may not work for you, unless you have very narrow toes. Most of the mary jane's that fluevogs make my heel slips right out of them every time but this my ankle fits perfectly and I have a skinny ankle. I just miss trying on shoes in person at my old Abbott Kinney store, having an narow foot has made it really hard for me to buy fluevogs. My purchasing has slowed down quite a bit. I used to get maybe 5 pairs a year and now i'm down one or two pairs a year because I have to exchange them constantly and mostly they don't work out at all it's very frustrating. I almost gave up completely on buying anymore at all after about twelve years of buying them. I'm hoping we will get a store back in Los Angeles because it is in the heart of california and we really need one. When I saw these shoes it was worth a try and I did have to exchange them and thankfully the second try worked. I also very much miss the connection of the employees, talking on the phone is just not the same as being in person and having them become you're extended family. Thank you for making these beautiful shoes and please. I beg of you bring us the store back to los angeles.

I just kept swearing as soon as I put on these ***** SHOES 😭 I was so worried they would be too small since all the size 11 were sold out, but the 10.5 seem comfortable so far, and I cannot get over how SHINY AND BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE. I LOVE THEM AND I NEVER WANT TO TAKE THEM OFF. Most of my Vogs are a 10, but a couple of outliers are the 10.5 in Tammi Rose, the Haring in an 11 as my go-to "winter boots", and inexplicably an 8.5 in the Morgaine (?????) While they do pinch my pinkie toes a bit, they are otherwise a bit big on me in the rest of the shoe - it's just the toe that is narrow. Same for these. I feel if I were to get the 11's the rest of the shoe EXCEPT the toe would just be too big on me because I have low foot volume and I always have to strap all the buckles on pretty much the last hole. On these, the thinner strap I don't even think can fully come out of the buckle, but I needed to tighten it because otherwise I would have been walking out of the shoe. They are just so gorgeous and unique and pointy and killer that I'll put up with slightly squished toes to have the pleasure of walking around like an extra bad baddie.

I ordered the green as soon as they hit my nearest shop, and I rarely buy a shoe before it goes on sale. Based on advice from Felicia at SF I went with an 8.5, which is one size up from my street size (7.5) and a half size up from most of my Fluevogs (8). The fit is close to perfect for my longish, low-volume foot with long toes. I wore them for 3 hours the first day and had no issues at all, although I didn't walk much. I imagine my toes will complain a bit if I walk a lot in them--pretty normal for a pointy toe. They are actually pretty roomy in width at the ball of foot area, so I think folks with wider feet or more volume would be OK if they size up. Most importantly, they are absolutely stunning. I could not stop looking at my feet all through dinner. It's like a shiny poison green--so delicious.
