Great all round shoe!
I’ve treated these shoes well, not babied them, but wore them at least once a week and sometime multiple days walking for miles on trade shoe floors.
I always get compliments. The small blue accent and the matching blue laces on the brown shoes definitely draw attention to an otherwise simple shoe.
Definitely going to be missed... maybe a second pair is due...
The Classic Fluevog Shoe
Another pair
Don't ever stop making these shoes, please Mr JF!!!! ...and can you get a slightly harder wearing sole??
Poor quality, didn't hold up to day to day walking
Classic, cool and chic-- but suprisingly narrow
Fluevogs tend to run small on me in general (I normally wear a 9.5-10/ European 40-41 in other shoes but often have to go up a full size in Fluevogs for a comfortable fit). The men's model might have given just a little more width. They are crazy narrow in fit, and way more narrow in appearance than they looked on-line. It took me about 2 weeks of regular wear to get them stretched enough to be comfy. They're very stiff and reminded me of having to break in new school shoes back in my grade school days! But, now I wear them for fun and it's less of a chore now that they've loosed up some, though still stiff and slightly tight across the top of my foot. As others have suggested on Facebook, and I agree, Fluevog should make some wider shoes for us not-abnormal folks who do not have skinny ski feet. (I mean, I am not a freak! I don't have hobbit feet. They're perfectly average in appearance!) Whatever the case, I do get lots of compliments on my boss, bad ass red shoes.
BEST SHOES EVER
Bummed
Amazing!
Old fashioned meets fashion-forward
perfect
my camo winners!

Initally the 12 and 1/2 was too big but the exchange process was pleasant and painless! I was treated like a rockstar by the staff and I'm greeted like one by people on the street.
And for those wondering about stretch for wider feet, I take an E width and after 2 days of wearing the shoes around the house they fit like gloves.
I wear them daily to work and anytime I don't wear shorts. I rock them with blazer/dress shirts, casually with jeans, a cap and a plaid, or the sensible semi-casual for work and I get the same results every time: compliments (and questions on where to get a pair)!
This is my first pair but certainly won't be the last. Thanks!!!

Great Shoes, but weak soles
Wow
More gorgeous than I'd realized
WOW!
Love the style, but...
Luv muh vogs.
I love my vogs!
Comfortable/Smart
These are usually my day to day shoes and took no time to break in as the leather upper is malleable. Paired with the turquoise laces, these are a great and very smart, casual shoe. They are just dressy enough to be stylish but not so formal that you can't wear them with shorts and a t shirt.
They are also built to last so I can see myself getting these re-heeled and resoled many times as the years go by. The same can not be said for most sneakers and these are just as comfortable.
Overall just a great shoe!
They were meant to be!!!
I have the sky blue/beige plaid ones and will probably get more in other colors. Let me tell you, people have strong feelings about plaid shoes and comment on them constantly. If I weren't off the market, these shoes would get me so much play. It's ridiculous the degree of flirty stranger action they engender.
like a dream!
The burnt orange isn't an outrageous color. It's like a "normal" colored shoe --not unlike a brown or a tan-- but with a brighter, and an orange, hue. They're quite lovely.
The leather is soft and supple. The toe box is roomy. I wear an 8 1/2 shoe in everything but Fluevogs, where a 9 fits me perfectly every time.
These shoes came with cream colored laces PLUS an extra pair of orange laces! What a treat!
Black CBCs
I'll take one in each, thanks.
Better!
Nice work!
great shoe!
Great
Almost perfect!
4th Pair of 'Vogs
My feet are wrapped in soft, wonderful plaid (meaning aside from being new shoe snug, no break-in needed)! I better sign off now so I can run around in my new shoes, while holding my old shoes, apologizing. Another great pair of Fluevogs.
LOVE THESE!!!
The perfect casual-lace up
sorry to say
Turquoise laces
A story in plaid
They are perfect with cuffed jeans and if you have the gusto, with a nice suit. CBCs in either plaid WILL get noticed and people will comment. Some are good other are simply snarky about my choice of plaid. So if you don't want LOTS of attention go with a more subtle color such as black, brown or even the burgundy. As for fit they are next to perfect, no break in needed. The CBCs are bit wider than the BBC boots, though i did upsize from a 10.5 to a 11. (Same as i did with the BBCs) They easily accommodate the superfeet 3/4 insoles i wear in every shoe i have and the rubber 3/4 sole that has been added to that magnificent leather underside keep you upright in water, flour and oil. SO these are possibly the perfect shoe for kicking it around town, living in the middle of nowhere or even a bit of dress up for those important days at work. Not super fancy, get the herbert for that, but a classically styled shoe that you can wear for year. Or a funky classical styled shoe... depending on which one you choose.
WICKED!
I fly to San Francisco each month and I usually take my shoes off, but these shoes are so comfortable I can just leave them on.
The green color is fantastic and truly unique. I even wore them to the closing of Wicked.
The shoes run about a half inch smaller than my other dress shoes so I ended up going up in size. But they are great. I'm already looking at other styles for my next purchase this week!
Comfortable & stylish
wow!!
Makin' me smile!
more sick comfort
,-) There may be more in my future.
I get many compliments on these shoes (I got the fabulously funky plaid pair), and they are wearing in very nicely. And they're so soft!
*Shoe Joy*
LOVE THESE!!
whoa!!
Incredibly COMFORTABLE shoes (very light) and equally incredibly CLASSY. Beautiful & original design when you see them from above, which one usually does. Love'em!!! @>-
Just what I wanted
I got the brown leather ones and am very impressed at the detail in the leather. They have some really awesome character. They will slowly become a part of my character until I find my next pair of 'vogs.
Preppy and hot
help! they got polished!
