Description

A super pointy-toed, buckled T-strap loafer, The Pilgrim shoe was one of John's first women's designs which took its initial inspiration from the Victorian era. The updated design includes a rubber sole plate, a 1.5" leather wrapped heel and features specialty leathers that will age gracefully. The Pilgrim is an ode to John's humble beginnings, the values he still aspires to, and a great testament to the genius we celebrate. Truth and integrity since 1970.

My dream shoe!

I have been wanting these for a long time, but was worried they might not be comfortable enough for everyday wear. I normally wear a size 7.5, and bought these in an 8, which fits perfectly. They definitely do run narrow, just because of the shape and pointed toe, but I don’t have narrow feet and they fit me just fine. I don’t know that I could wear them if I had a job where I’m on my feet all day, but for my lifestyle they’re great. I got them in black and I’m tempted to get the purple velvet, too.

Been eying these for years

I finally bought these when they were on sale. After carefully reading the reviews, I have decided to buy half a size bigger than my “normal” Vog size. I normally wear a street size 9-9.5 and a 10 in 95% of my Vogs. These were love at first try! Even my 12 year old (she fits in my shoes) wants to wear them! My foot is with a high in-step, normal width. I am able to wear a thin sock comfortably in these shoes. I definitely recommend going half a size up at least, though I am comfortable in the size I picked. ❤️ These are not only comfortable but super comfy! Can’t go wrong with these!!!! Cheers!

Classics!

This was the first pain of Vogs I ever bought (now I have quite the collection forming!). My usually size 9 feet fit perfectly into my size 9 Pilgrims with lightweight socks.

I snagged the last pair in lipstick red, they are TTS, and stunning! They go with so many more outfits than I imagined and give such a great pop of colour!

Witchy, in a good way

I have two pairs of these, in Burgundy and a nice chocolate brown. The Burgundy were actually my very first pair of dogs, many years ago. True to size, very comfy, great with jeans, work pants or skirts. Any after many years of wear, my heels are not stripped, although I don't think I would walk on a gravel road with them, and I am careful about driving in them

Nice Shoes indeed

I have received my fluevogs and they are so cute! I love the witchy vibe they give off and how they fit my feet. I feel like I've stepped into a different time while wearing them. I also love the sound of the small heel on the ground outside or the floor inside. I've seen where other reviewers said that the heel degrades to show the plastic form underneath. I hope that doesn't happen to me too. Thank you Malcolm J for packing my box! I'm a 7.5 street shoe and bought these in the same size. They fit TTS (True-To-Size.)

Warning!!!

I have fallen twice wearing the shoes. When you take your step if you don’t pay attention to your stride so that you land directly on the heel pad, if you are off by a minuscule measurement you will fall down. Your foot goes flying forward and you are done. I have fallen twice and hurt myself badly, not only to mention being extremely embarrassed. I would not recommend buying these shoes ever. They look great but they are extremely dangerous. For your safety avoid this style at all costs! I would like my money back actually.

Rivet fell off

I love my Pilgrims; however, only wearing them a handful of times, one of the rivets fell off. How can I get Fluvog to send me a new rivet or two so I can fix them? I know the rivet is only superficial, but I would like these gorgeous shoes to look their best. Please let me know. Thank you.

I LOVE my Pilgrims! So Witchy and comfortable. I wear a street size 10 and got them in a 10.5. They fit wonderfully and my feet are not narrow. I may buy them in an 11 next time to accommodate socks. I will definitely be buying more colors though.

FINALLY!

Pilgrim shoes have been on my buy list for a long time but having a wider foot did not want to purchase them online. I walked into the Water St store in Vancouver on Monday and the fabulous & friendly Tamara helped me choose the proper size. My everyday shoes are a size 9 and purchased the Pilgrim in a 9 1/2. I wore the shoes to work yesterday and my feet were singing, thank you!

Ok. I LOVE THESE. They are comfortable. I have wide feet, and normally wear a size 11 in regular shoes. I bought a 12 and they are perfect. I have one issue, though. The shoes come with the buckle done up at the middlemost point. As a result, if you change the strap setting, you are left with a permanent crease embossed in the leather from the buckle. For almost $400, I would have expected Fouevog to consider this and to store unbought shoes with the buckles undone so as to prevent this. It’s a bummer, because the shoes are perfect, and I feel like I paid top dollar only to be punished with a defect due to needing a wider buckle setting.

My First Pair of Fluevogs

I've been eyeing the Pilgrims for a while now and finally pulled the trigger. They are even more beautiful in person and the leather is super soft. I got my usual size of 8.5, and they were a taaaad tight on my big toe. Nothing too crazy, but a little small. But I decided to try stretching them myself, so I put on a couple of pairs of socks and hit them with a little heat from a hair dryer and they fit perfect now. If you don't want to go through all that though, I would say go up a half size.

My first pair of Truths

The Pilgrims are one of the few pairs of non-boot shoes I own. I had been eyeing them for ages and just love how witchy they look! I wear a 7-7.5 and have a narrow and high instep with a slightly wider forefoot. I also wear a thin cushioned insole because I work on my feet. I consistently wear a 7.5 in the Truth family and they are SO comfy. As mentioned in other reviews, the one biggest flaw in these is the leather wrapped heel. Upon purchasing them, I assumed they were wood, but the inside edges can get damaged, revealing the plastic form underneath....which I managed to find out after only my first or second wear. Luckily my husband was able to patch it and they are just fine now.

CAN'T RESIST THE RED

I walked into the Granville store to pick up a pair of stretched boots, and walked out with two new pairs of Truths. No regrets! The last few pairs of Vogs that I've bought have been black and relatively subtle, so I was itching for something bold. The Pilgrims in lipstick stopped me in my tracks, and I had to have them. These are my fourth pair of Truths, and I love them for work - the low heel is super comfortable, and I always get compliments. I'm a 6.5 in most Vogs, but I size up to a 7 in Truths. Shoutout to Evangeline at the Granville store, who's helped me twice this month and enabled the purchase of four new pairs. She was awesome!

My First Pilgrim

I waited with anticipation for these shoes to arrive after reading all the great reviews. When I finally slipped them on yesterday I was not disappointed. I've been wearing them all day and my feet feel great. I will be ordering more of this style for sure.

Finally got my Pilgrims!!!!

I have eyed these little wonders for a couple of years and finally tried them on and it was an instant, yes I have to have these. I had to go down to 5:5 for them as they fit larger I think. Got them in black and wore them day after I got them, for 10 hours with no problem. They are super comfortable, look great with anything and have a very distinctive look. Glad I finally got them. They join my extensive Fluevog collection.

Move over Pilgrim! This one's the real deal!

I forget which # pair this was for me but as usual, it was love ❤️ at first wear! While aptly named, they are fun without being too much for work and the heel (3 of my Vogs have this style/height) makes them perfect for all day wear... I have a high arch and high instep so I feel my toes tingling after a full days wear but they are beautiful and just get better with wear! True to size fit!

Love these .... but

I bought these shoes while on a trip to L A last winter after longing for the for them for a year. After I had owned them for only six months the material that covers the heel started to come off to expose......eeeek plastic! I paid $350 for them so I feel a little disappointed by the quality of the construction I now wear them at work rather than evenings out, theatre events etc. Undeterred I have my next pair of fluevogs on my wish list ( I have 4 pairs) and continue to love fluevog styling. To JF's credit I have never had a problem with my other Fluevog beauties.

Green is gorgeous!

It took a couple of tries to get these right. The first pair I was shipped had cracked textured leather on one shoe. I returned / replaced them and the second pair is fine. The shoes are slightly different colors (and I mean slightly) but not enough to bother me - this is a chance you take with beautiful handmade shoes. They fit me perfectly in my usual Vog size and are super comfortable right out of the box. I'd definitely consider getting these in other colors.

I loved the look of these online but have never found a pointy-toed shoe that didn't seriously sardine my toes (wide enough feet that non-"wide" shoes usually don't work) so I assumed it'd be no dice. Got to try them on in SF and am delighted to say I was totally wrong! I went up a half size to an 11 and they're perfect, comfortable, and not too long. The leather is thick but soft, really dreamy to break in. After having worn them a few times I think I might not have even needed to size up. May pop a ball-of-foot cushion in to take up a little space when it gets to be tights weather (I've been wearing them sockless so far.) Love!

The Perfect Shoe

Slightly over an inch tall, these are so comfortable to wear for an entire day. I bought a half size larger than my regular Fluevog size - but really, both my regular size and half-up fits me. There's no need to think twice about buying these.

This is my 5th pair of Pilgrims, so clearly it was a given that I would buy the spectacular green beauties--they really must be seen in person to appreciate the nuances of color & pattern in the 2 leathers, I loved the rub-off of the other colors but these textured leathers are beyond fabulous. I have Pilgrims in 7.5 and 8 (my usual Fluevog sizes) and went with 8 as I tend towards that more often.

Just plain HOT!!

Somehow is my Fluevog addiction..... yes I fell fast and hard.... I missed trying any Pilgrims!! But my world is not complete!! My new Pilgrims in the green snakeskin are just plain HOT!! You have to applaud any shoe that gets people to stop this 61 year old woman and tell her how HOT her shoes are!! Yes.... HOT is the universal description! The fit like a glove and are quite comfortable while the leathers snuggle around my foot!! These are definite ALL SEASON winners for me!!!

Essential in any Wardrobe!

I have been drooling over these shoes for months, and finally took the plunge and went into a store to try them on. I put my feet in these and could not believe how amazingly conformable they were! Walked around the store and did not want to take them off. Comfort aside, these are the most unique and gorgeous shoe that every girl should own. Skinny jeans, skirts, tights, dresses, these look incredible with everything. If you are thinking of the pilgrim, stop thinking and get them! you will love them!

Love my pilgrims!

I've had these for ages, and thought I better leave a review as there are so few! Yes, I stalk the website and admire shoes that I already own!!! Get these, you won't regret it! Comfortable right from the get go and look great! I can wear them out or to work. Love 'em. Very versatile and great heel height :)

My First Fluevogs!

Shopping. Wicker Park. Eclectic Shoe Store. Twice I walked past the door welcoming me in only to window browse at the most amazing shoe designs I'd ever seen in person. I knew these treasures had to be out of my reach. Third time-- I could not resist at least going in, the result of which was of course trying several pairs on (my delightful sales associate called it a shoe party!) and ultimately the purchase of these funky Pilgrims. So comfortable right out of the box, so sharp whether you're wearing casual or somewhat dressy clothes.. and so Mine. My first pair of Fluevogs (I've now bought more since). They run true to size but a word of warning that the sales associate passed on to me, the heel is not wood although it may look that way-- that is a wood-grain leather wrap. She said don't drive in these shoes but if you do scuff up the heels, Fluevog has replacement parts. I'm kinda surprised there aren't more reviews about these shoes but looking at the sizes left, I guess people are so thrilled that they haven't thought twice about looking back (to review), they are on about their business in their Truth Pilgrims.

Ask and receive...

I recently wrote to John Fluevog asking when the Truth Pilgrim would be available again...I got a rely that John would be notified that I had asked. Well, only a few weeks later, I was cruising the site and GUESS WHAT? There they were! I had only bought two pair of Fluevogs and hoped for the best, and that is exactly what I received. Out of the box, they are the most comfortable shoes I've worn and they are over-the-top remarkable and cute! I'm sure the remarks will abound when I wear them out!

Gotta get them.

These were my very first Fluevogs and I love them every bit as much as the day I bought them a number of years ago. Super comfortable ... all day long.
