Description
Rubens was a prolific Flemish Baroque painter whose paintings, centuries before R. Crumb would draw the same, emphasized the erotic and sensuality of plus sized women. 'Rubenesque' is a term used even today, to lovingly describe full-figured women. Built on an exquisite and decadent, 3" Louis the 14th hexagonal heel, the Rubens mary jane pump used a contrapposto of either soft stamped royal suedes or luscious velvet, robust patent straps & tips, and ornate buckles. The Rubens provided your wardrobe with the palette and curves to create your own masterpiece. There's no fashion like old fashion.

Good craftsmanship. The leather inside is super soft and the padding makes you feel like you walk on clouds.
In. Love.

Fabulously quirky shoes
Blue Velvet Shoes
My pretties...
Beautiful, although not exactly as described online
Wedding shoes!
Beautiful navy blue velvet comfortable shoes!
Oh. My.
I'm a 7.5 in non-Vogs, but consistently a 7 in Vogs, and the Rubens are no exception. As others have noted, no need to worry about fussing with the buckles. Once you set them to fit your foot, you can (gently) wiggle your foot right in without undoing them. They look equally great with dresses or jeans, tights or bare legged. I think they're destined to become a Fluevog classic.
These shoes are breathtaking
Love!
Gorgeous!
Love, love, love
Love, Love, Love!!
True to size
Beauties
P.S. Thanks to Dustin in Chicago and SF @ Haight for their awesome service!
Then I spotted several models in the Baroque line (including some not yet on the Web site), and gasped.
I tried them all on. They fit like a dream. I wound up buying the Rubens, in size 8.5 (I'm an 8 in mass-market shoes) but seem to run a half size larger in all my favorite Fluevogs).
My god, this shoe is gorgeous. And comfortable. Perfect for a vampire, or a Steampunk diva.
The sole is a little more slick than I prefer, but I plan to take it to my local cobbler (everyone should have a local cobbler) and have a nonskid surface applied to the sole.
Lovely!
Great shoes
Love them!
What I really like about these shoes is that not only are they comfortable, but they're versatile. I wear them to work with pants, but I can also wear them with a nice dress.
I have a narrow foot, and wear a 7 in many stores, but the 6.5 fits me perfectly.
LOVE
Super comfortable heel height, and stable heel.
Worth every penny.
Nice!
I love them :-D
These make me so happy!
Worth every penny!
Scrummy!
Amazing shoes
Sizing: I ordered 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, and they fit very well.
Beautiful Surprise
Putting them on puts a smile on my face every time :)
Even prettier in person!
Very cool - and comfy, too!
Love These Shoes

7 1/2 runs true to size and they are so comfortable I never want to take them off! Can not wait to rock these for my big day. Thanks Fluevog
Fit is great, not sure about color & cut
Unfortunately, I have to agree that the color on-screen is not accurate. The true color of the patterned leather is much more muted and leans toward purple. As well, it seems suede-like, rather than a nice polished surface, which is what I expected.
As well, the two shoes do not match in the shaping of the cut around the toes. At full price, I would like symmetry. So, I will probably send these back. I'm debating about exchanging...
Color is WAY off

I. Am. In. Love!
