Love my Bond girl boots
They are snug around the calf, but I have small legs so they are perfect for me. The toe box is generous and I can wear them with comfy socks. I still get compliments on my Vogs, even after 6 years.
Beautiful leather, close fitting in the calves!
So sad!
No easy task as it turns out! They just will not stretch out enough (tried on my own, cobblers, etc.). I have about 13.5" calves so this should not be an issue. When I wear them my legs get tired because the calf muscle flexes as I walk and then the boot is too tight.
Wish Fluevog would do something about this....until then, my wonderful boots sit in my closet.
P.S. This is probably my 20th pair of vogs.
Disappointment
BEST boots EVER!
Worst boots ever
The greatest boots ever made.
Poor quality and even poorer customer service
Poor Quality
Yes!
Four Years in, Giving them Up
I am heartbroken. These are really the only boots I want.
For the record, I am not a "big girl" - take a size 2/4 in pants, and would never have thought I had huge calves.
Took awhile, but I love these boots!
Life, death and reincarnation
Love the boot HATE the quality
The zippers have broke, the lining breaks down quickly, don;t let someone accidentally step on your foot at a concert because you will have a dent in your boot for the rest of it's life...and that dent might just rub on your toe.
I really do love my Fluebogs but I have been looking for something else I like to replace them as my go to footwear but I am still looking and I need to find it soon or I will be on my 4th pair. You really do think these boots would last better than they do.
I have big calves. It can be done.
I have loved these boots for years and always wanted a pair. I didn't think that they could be stretched enough to accommodate my lovely shapely calves, and then a friend of mine with even bigger calves did it.
As soon as I saw these boots in my size in the color (green) I had really wanted on Fluemarket, I jumped at them.
I wear an 10.5 in most shoes, and the 11 fits perfectly (I can wear thicker socks if I like even). I've had them on my feet with the calves sprayed down with 50% rubbing alcohol/50% water now for a couple of hours and I only have an inch or so of stretching left to do. I figure over the next few days, I will get them to where I need them to be.
So if you want these and are worried about the calf width, it can be dealt with. You just need a little patience.
Love the style, craftsmanship breaks my heart
Super narrow in the foot, No room for arches
Just Your Everyday Superspy...
Gondi Girl
.... The dream suddenly came to an end this year, almost to the 2 yr anniversary date, the zipper on the left boot came open from the bottom up.
I was shocked to say the least, since the zippers & sliders appear to be pretty HEAVY DUTY. It's part of their charm... or so I thought.
I contacted the Fluevog store where I purchased them in Toronto Canada, and they said I would have to have them repaired at my own expense, since it is considered regular wear & tear.
REALLY???
I can understand if I wore them mountain climbing or fighting third world wars, but I wear them at work (in an insurance office).... Believe it or not, I don't exactly "tear" around in them at the office.
I loved the boots so much, that I decided to go ahead and have them repaired... and on the day I was about to take them in, the right boot took a same turn for the worse, and blew it's zipper in the exact same spot (from the bottom up).
It is now costing me $96. to have both zippers replaced.
WAIT! The story gets worse... the cobbler didn't have the Large zippers or sliders to replace the ones that were on the boots originally, so they have replaced them with run of the mill, average zippers (for $96.!!?? REALLY??)
I give up.
I learned a lesson though. I won't spend $400. on another pair of Fluevog's (that have a life expectancy of approximately 2 years due to wear and tear around an insurance office), that's for sure.
Thanks for 24 months of joy Mr. Fluevog. It was almost worth it..... almost.

Thanks John Fluevog for your wearable art.

Who DOESN'T want to be a Bond girl?
Not bad for an old girl.
PS:Keith from the LA store-you deserve a pay rise for you suppotive emails to me. Thanks!
Will there be more Bond Girl boots?
Don't stop!
Zipper broke immediately!
These boots rock!!

OMG the PAIN
Hello Beautiful
Bondgirl rocks!
Perfect Fit!
love 'em but had some problems twice
The first pair, after only a few months the stitches came out. Fluevog was great and repaired it for me, but the stitching came out again soon after. Again Fluevog was awesome and they gave me a new pair! There is a small issue with the zipper handle on one boot locking in a weird "out" position but I can deal with that.
However sadly, after about 6 months or possibly a bit more, the calves on both boots are overly stretched. I know they naturally would stretch some, but I feel "gappy" and they don't feel or look right. This does not seem like an easily fixed issue- I don't think you can unstretch a boot. :(
I have two other pairs of Fluevogs with no issues, so I am pretty bummed out- especially since this is my favorite pair.
Best Boots Ever
Oh no
And it seems my toes get squished when i'm going downhill, but i assume that's normal with sliding around in the shoe.
Was a little miffed when they didn't have my size (women's 7) in stock, so i had to get it shipped from their main store, and they charged me the shipping costs.
Still, all in all, a very nice boot.
Love them! But..
I love these boots but the soles do not seems strong enough. I have a pair of Fluevog boots from 20 years ago that has survived the test of time. Ironically, Bondgirl doesn't look like she'll make it very long.
Love them but I'm sad!
I have been a Fluevog devotee since I bought my first pair of oxblood knee high Angel boots when I was 16. I expect these shoes to last for years and years given the promised quality and the price. I'm so sad that I have to keep bringing these in for repairs, mostly because it means up to 2 weeks without wearing my favorite pair of boots! :-(
I want these...
(sorry) :-(
skinny legs and all
simply great
Love em!
Still going strong
Just be honest with yourself about your calf/foot size. I've got medium width feet and fairly muscular calves, and these babies hug my legs like a second skin. Note the calf measurements on the description and measure before you buy.
tall and black
Love the way the buckles clink clink clink as I walk.
Not everything I'd hoped for
My problem is the zipper on one of the boots bursts open every so often about 3 months into owning the boot (randomly but not always) -- I later put them into storage for the summer and brought them back out this winter, and the issue became worse because the zipper would burst the moment I put the boot on and stood. I'm guessing the leather has also tightened up without use over the summer is what made the situation worse.
I did bring the boots in for warranty, and unfortunately it has not solved the issue. So not only am I out $390 (tax), I had the worse experience with the rep who I dropped off and picked my shoes up from. It's nice to know you're only a valued customer when you are buying.
While I still think the shoes look great, they don't do me much good sitting on the rack. My advice, unless the boot fits you perfectly with little stretching required, I would consider getting a shorter boot if you won't be wearing it all year round to keep them soft. While I won't be shopping with Fluevog anymore, my friend still loves her pair, so that's got to be something right?
Taking a long leap of faith, I trusted the salesperson who told me she could stretch them. When I came back to the store, the zippers were still about half an inch from the top. She told me to wear them around, and as the leather warmed up, that last half an inch succumbed and the boots were mine!
I didn't find these comfortable to wear for about three weeks, but now they're perfect. Every time I put them on I feel like a superhero.
Stretch `em
I was afraid the boots were going to be ruined, but they are perfect.
My message ... even if you can`t get the zipper to the top don`t hesitate to have them stretched by a reputable shoe repair person. My boots were stretched a whole inch in the calves and they are fine.
Not for Athletes
They fit perfectly except around my calves. I tried size 9 which fitted fine on the foot, except my around my 16" calves it was almost a 2" gap that would bust the seams if they were stretched. The F-soles would have been awesome. I thought with those buckles at the top, John would have designed them to be accommodating for those with bigger calves by being able to cinch down the buckles or let 'em loose.
It almost makes me wish I didn't do backcountry skiing or biking so I'd have slimmer calves to wear these hot boots.
Love'em Gigitty!!!
Hottest. Boots. Ever.
Incredible. I don't know how Fluevog does it.
Love my Bond Girls but they SQUEAK
Mmmmn
I am an English speaker living in a Cantonese speaking country and when complete strangers who struggle with English come up to me on the streets and say, 'I like your boots, where can I buy?', I know I have hit a pretty special look that shakes some tail.
I love the fact that I can wear these with short or long skirts, short or long pants, tuck the pants in or not...versatile, tough and sexy! Love to wear them with a pretty frock as well just to down-girly those frills! Any wonder these boots are so popular and are a long standing style for John Fluevog! No breaking in time either - just unwrapped the pack and put 'em on!
Absolutely painless and abolutely pleasurable purchasing over the internet (Thanks Chad!)Now I'm a-lookin' for my 6th pair of Fluevogs to treat my feet to absolute luxury and my ego to attention!
Unofficially Unisex
Knew I was on the right track when I discovered that the Fluevog site offered an entire Unisex Styles section. Then I browsed on over to the Women’s section and found several other appealing tall boots.
My first purchase, the Alexis equestrian, is a beautiful tall black boot but the largest size (Women’s 12) was way too tight for me. So I gave them to a friend who found they fit well with thick socks. Truthfully, they look better on her than they did on me.
Then I found the brown Bondgirl model and decided to look past the non-unisex name to the boot itself, and try the size 13. Surprisingly, they are stamped with Size 11, possibly a man’s size (?), inside the shaft. These fabulous “engineer style” boots sport 16 inches of great supple leather rising from the super comfy F Sole built for striding through life. One was a bit snug until I followed the advice of Dustin in the Chicago store to wear them with wet socks, which stretched them at the pressure points. Thanks, Dustin!
While I wear them for my own enjoyment, it doesn’t hurt that several ladies have complimented my new boots. Now if only I knew, is it the Vogs, or the guy rocking them...
8 months but I found you. <3<3<3
I have only worn these boots three times since I got them last week but each day I got stopped and complimented over my Bondgirls and asked where they came from. Go John!
tough and sweet
License to Chill
any hints?
:-(
love them
I am officially, now a super hero
I hope the replacements are better
I was furious - that is seriously wrong for $328. That's more than I have ever spent on shoes before. If I need expensive shoes, I am sticking with Frye boots from now on - they're cheaper than Fluevogs and the quality is amazing.
Ughhh so tight
But unfortunately I have large calves of 16 inches and there was no way i could get my wide feet and large calves into these boots.
If you buy these make sure you have skinny legs. :/
Best. Boot. Ever.
Just had to have them...
Oh how I love my Bond Girls!!
BondGirls ROCK!!
