Description
Drawing on invaluable lessons he learned from his boyhood camping experiences, John sketched up a sexy lady shoe that featured specialty leathers, custom Fluevog buckles, a 3.5" curved heel, and a 1.5" hidden platform of recycled cork, all on a tunite sole with rubber grips. This uber-modern Mary Jane clog makes sure everyone follows the leader. Prepare for the Future, choose well today.
*The floral shearling Leader is made from a delicate Italian leather that features real dried flowers underneath a thin layer of clear patent. To avoid damaging this material, please treat it with your finest tender love and care.

No regrets for these new hooves
When I finally purchased them in my larger vog size (I have wide-ish feet) - they were just a little too big, and I enjoyed a smooth return process for a half-size smaller.
The shearling shoes are possibly impractical (just carry extra flats for sudden bad weather!), absolutely ridiculous (like wearing inside-out slippers), and immediately one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I plan on being careful...but keep in mind, shearling *can* be cleaned/fluffed with proper equipment!
I look forward to many escapades in these fabulous, fluffy shoes.
The best!
Coolest Shoes Ever
My new goal is to buy more Prepares in the plain leather colors. In the meantime, I already ordered a second pair of these shearling ones.
The only downside of these shoes is that you cannot wear them in rain or bad weather. But for the look, they are worth the extra care.
Almost a 10/10 except for the sole
The only problem I run into is caused by the fact that the sole doesn't cover the whole bottom of the platform, and it's really thick! The combo of that creates idea ankle-rolling conditions in certain situations. I've already almost rolled my ankle twice.
I hope they change that one aspect of the design, if they do I will be buying EVRY colour because these are otherwise the best shoes ever!

Awesome shoes in great colors
Super cool shoes.
Tricky Straps!!
Great shoes, high arches beware.
Fits like a Dream!
I ordered the blue and black Prepares, and when I opened the box, I didn't even want to try them on. These shoes initially looked so small, so narrow. My friend who was over urged me to try them on. To my surprise, they almost fit. After a trip to the local cobbler, he stretched them a good half size in the width- and these leaders are not leaving my feet! So comfortable! I wear them every day! Thank you Meghan, I couldn't be happier...A
One thing...Is it just me or does any one else find these tipsy? 80% of the time I am a picture of class and grace strutting my stuff in my Prepares. The other 20% I am bambi, desperately trying to keep my ankles from rolling over...keeping myself upright! Lol
I might need to try the Maps to see if that helps..
Love these shoes but they are not perfect...

Perfect right out of the box!
Super comfortable
Heaven!
Incredibly Comfortable - The ONLY Pair I Wore to London!!!
In my Vog top 5, probably even 3
I'm a believer!
My feet are so happy!
My fluvog lost a heal :(
These are my 3rd pair of Fluevog and I love them but after only 2 weeks and wearing them 5-6 times, the left heal fell....sad :(
Favorite Vogs
They are as comfortable as sneakers. The arch in the shoe is not as steep as the height it gives you so my feet don't hurt at the end of a long day. At 5"2 they make me taller which I love and no foot pain.
I actually have to say (as I have troubled feet) my feet feel better after wearing them.
I have had no trouble wearing them in (I normally wear a 7/7 1/2 and my Prepares are an 8).
The rubber on the soles also help with impact and a lot of walking.
When I want height but not heel I normally wear my Dansko clogs but I have balance issues. So far no tripping in my Prepares or nearly falling over.
So happy with them I just bought another pair despite living on a tight budget. I can give up food for these shoes.

Give these shoes a try!
Seriously, you can run in these like they are sneakers!
Pleasantly suprised!
You're invited to our wedding!
Wearing them feels like walking on clouds -- both because they are comfy and because they make me feel so fabulous. I got them in red, and I've worn them every day since. First I started building outfits around them, and then I just figured the rest of the outfit would have to find a way to conform to my shoes' beauty and fineness, which apparently worked! Compliments abounded, and when they didn't, I knew it was because those around me were simply jealous.
I recommend sizing up, by the way. And have your lovely salesperson do a little stretching in the store if your foot needs it. Works like a charm and helps you avoid new shoe blisters. Then you can wear them for twelve hours and only have tired feet because any foot would be tired after standing and walking for that long.
Shoes that strut
Most comfortable shoe ever!!
At last.
Thanks Allie! You were so right!
