Great fit in the foot bed and in the ankle. Some with more muscular calves can't quite get the zipper all the way up, but the leather is easy to stretch!

Disappointed
I’m sure they’re typically very nice shoes & I like the styles a lot, but I wouldn’t take the chance of ordering another pair & having to go get something repaired without ever actually wearing the shoes. Just a little disappointed after looking forward to buying a pair for so long.
Love ❤️
Luna hits it to the moon!
However, on the Luna's I just bought, they are most definitely metal buckles. Just laying to rest any concerns about quality there.
And I was surprised that my boots zipped without any needed stretching. I run and have muscular calves, so finding boots that fit without any stretching is a miracle. I can tell I will get a lot of use out of these! And who can argue with a cool purple boot? Apparently I can't.
Get a pair before they are gone
Ok so I ordered boots online and have anything but small calves...yikes...I knew in a worse case scenario I could make the trek to the Ottawa store and have them stretched but when these boots arrived I followed the suggestions from other reviewers and patiently worked on zipping them up. I was surprised the right boot gave me little trouble but it took about 15 minutes and some cursing to get the left boot zipped up. So worth the effort!! I kept them on for a bit and I never felt like the zipper was going to explode. I did loosen the top buckle for a bit of give. The next day they zipped up a bit easier so I decided to spray them with all weather protector since I am planning to wear them through the winter: snow, slush and all. Walked in them all day and have been walking in them ever since. What great boots, the leather is still softening and the distressed look of the boots make me less concerned about wearing them out in the real world and in real weather. You do get two different boots, with or without the strap around the ankle which I like. So glad I took a chance on them. I am sure these beauties are going to get better looking with age. Soooo go on now buy a pair!
Patience is a Virtue
So good
I have skinny chicken legs, so I had no trouble getting the zippers up, but I can imagine that they are a bit of a struggle for those with more muscular calves. Nevertheless, I say it's worth it. I have owned a stupid number of leather boots that gap at the calf (and ankle) and they just don't look right. These look *fitted* and just plain awesome. The leather strap is removable, which I also like. With the strap, they look a bit rougher. WIthout, the silhouette is more streamlined and delicate. Both a great looks. These are just fantastic. Thank you!
OMG OMG --- LOVE
So very happy right now(≧∇≦)
Anyhoo...after diligently scouring through the reviews and using the excuse of my birthday, I bit the bullet, measured my meaty calves to make sure I was in the sizing zone and bought them.
They arrived this morning in the Land of Oz where I'm from (yep, Australia). My purple lovelies! I greedily snatched them from the delivery man, bolted upstairs and ripped the box to shreds to get them out and get them on. And then the real work began.
Here I was worried about the calves fitting...the effort it took to get my left foot into the footbed was a complete workout.
There was worry. There was nail biting. There was some hopping up and down my hallway. There was a lot of swearing. Time passed. Lots of time. But I was not giving up. And after praying to all the Gods, I got it in. Hallelujah! Then I looked at my right foot (Cue more swearing). However that one slipped in like a dream. Go figure, right!
I'm so happy. They're surprisingly comfortable after all the initial fit issues. I did size up by half a size. I'm an 11, so there was only the 11.5 available and it was absolutely necessary.
For anyone debating about the purchase...don't. Buy them. No remorse. Life's too short. Enjoy ladies.
PURPLE Luna's ROCK
POOR QUALITY...BEWARE
A buckle snapped today! Literally snapped in half.
The buckles are not made of metal, but are that kind of fake or imitation metal you see on dollar store products. It's coated to look like solid metal but inside is a sparkly plastic. I can't believe fluevog would put such flimsy cheap material on $400 boots, especially in a stress area. So disappointed.
Disappointing to put on/take off...looks good!
The footbed is very narrow. Ordered my usual size online and I couldn't get them on. In the store, I sized up 2 full sizes. They put it on a stretcher for the calves but seems like not enough. Which may have been my fault because I tried them on without jeans/long socks. So I'll have to go back.
All boots are a bit of an ordeal to take on put off but these boots make it harder. To access the bottommost section of the zipper removing the buckle attachment.
A bit about quality too. Good overall but my buckle attachments weren't cut to the same size so they don't hang the same way (which is removable but super cute). They'll likely help me get that sorted in the store, too.
Water-resistant? Oh yes!
I also wore them for Stampede and got lots of compliments! Love the versatility of these babies.
Indescribable
Beautiful Boots
I. LOVE. THESE. BOOTS.
love them!!!!!
Wow, this is what the hype was about?
Surprisingly narrow footbed
The calf was snug, but not in a bad way. It was the foot bed and the way the zipper opened that made these nearly impossible to put on. Once I was in there (with tights- no socks would allow my foot entry), I felt like it was pinching my toe knuckles- a very narrow shoe. Toe box seemed ok. I actually returned these because I felt like I MIGHT have been able to stretch them out, but it was too tight for me to risk not being able to wear my $350 boots.
The thing with the zipper was that when it was all the way down it goes under the buckle strap, so I actually had to take the strap off to even get these on and off. Beautiful boots though.
Helloooo 'Vogs!
After a few years of floating on Denial River fretting about how my prepregnancy red harness boots no longer fit, I finally gave in and said 'I don't want fryes with that.' I tried the Lunas in store last week and it took two of us to get them zipped. Once zipped it took about five minutes before my left foot was going numb. The footbed was perfect. It only took another day of wearing till I could zip them up all at once as opposed to waiting till the leather warmed up a little to finish zipping. The next day I could get them on with tights and the third day with tights and socks. I can wear these all day now. Very comfortable.
I did nothing special to get the calves to break in - no professional stretching at all. I didn't want to risk going to quickly and blowing out the zipper. I just wore them and moved the zipper up a little at at time as the boots warmed up till they were all the way up.
Bonus: this beautiful dusty purple goes with everything. Second bonus: they make me feel tall - like, Kurt Whatshisface in Tombstone tall. I'm all leg in these boots and I feel very sexy in them.
I wear a US9 or EU40 in other brands and wear a 9.5 in all my other vogs and I took a 10 in these. I have an average width.
Luna boot is a knockout
mahalo to Monika
Unbelievable fit!
First pair of Fluevogs, quality issue after 3 wears stitching came apart and requires a repair
Head Turners
There is a little room at the top but they are totally fine with skinny jeans and the leather is so thick and excellent quality that I don't think they will ever sag badly. They hold their own, they are very narrow in the ankle so a bit snug to pull on but not bad.
I get lots of compliments on them especially on the elegant lines of the boots, at first glance they look pretty normal for a buckle boot, but people are always stopped by the excellent design. They are not the usual Voggy craziness but they still stand out.
I highly recommend them if you want a boot that will last a life time.
this morning at brunch, our very sweet waitress said, "oh, my gosh, I love your purple boots!"
" they're new, I love them too," I said.
later, she whisked over to our table to ask me where I got them.
"they're fleuvogs", I said.
"oh," she said, "that explains it."
Wonderful surprise
Sexy, but snug
Quality is not as expected
However, after the 4th wear, the seam along the back started to come undone. I'm sorry, but for the price, this is extremely disappointing. It's not like I can return them at this point. What a downer. Is Fluevog's quality slipping? Certainly their prices are not.
Stunning
LOVE LOVE LOVE
the BEST
anyway, i lovvvve them. i sleep with them on. okay, no i don't, but i would if that weren't uncomfortable and weird. i'm surprised i haven't named them. they are such good quality (i've had them for a year and they're like new), and i get so many compliments on them and unfortunately am arousing jealousy around these parts, but also bringing fame to the name fluevog.
i feel like a million bucks prancing around in these bad boys - they're the perfect mix of casual and shnazzy - they work with a lot of different styles (i have the brown ones).
oh, and if you're a half size, go bigger, not smaller.
Zipper Problems
I didn't think they could get any better
Love this boot!
Wow
Gods gift to boot whores
I am in LOVE!!
like coming home!
These boots are made for walkin'
I wear a 9-10 in Fluevog shoes - depending on the design. These boots required a size 10 for complete zipper closure.
Big THANK YOU to Jack in the Chicago store for his expertise. The size 10s are perfect and I know they're just get better with time.
My first fluvie disappointment
A bit of work me lovlies
Twitterpated
Perfect Boots!
Finally did it. Yes, this post is long.
And then the inevitable happened with said boots. They sold out and no one will ever sell them on eBay or anywhere else because they were the perfect boot.
Well...I have lusted after this boot for a while and today I threw caution to the wind and said "F it! I will not let this boot slip through my hands."
And they are mine. And I am in love. I mean really in love. This boot is is so frakkin' hot, comfy, well made and classic.
I finally have the new pair of black Fluevogs I will wear for the next 7 to 10 years. A perfect replacement for my old, beloved, re-heeled many a time, dearly departed black Fluevog boots that graced my feet for the past 7 years.
Love Them and so does everyone else
A work of art!
Otherwise, they are so beautiful and I get so many compliments!
Over the moon!
Thanks soooo much to Bryan in the Montreal store for advising me to buy a 9. They are true to size. I was thinking of a 10, after reading some comments, but he convinced me to try to 9, as I own Miracles in 9. The lunas arrived in two days, to rural Ontario, and I put them on in my car outside our local post office!!! That was at noon, and I've now just taken them off, almost 10 hours later. My feet are not sore, felt totally supported, and might I add,,my legs were hugged and supported all day long. Fantastic boot, that's going to take these feet walking around England, Ireland and Germany for two weeks!! Thanks John Fluevog!!!! They are AMAZING!!! The leather is so soft and I love the patina!!!
in love!
Wonderful!
Love @ first sight........!
Wonderful boots!
Stunning!
Many thanks to the Toronto store for advice on sizing, and getting these beautiful boots to me so quickly! My love for all things Fluevog continues to grow and grow.
luverly! (but get them stretched a bit)
all that said, i LOVE these. they are molding rapidly to my feet and they make me feel like a million bucks. thanks again Fluevog (and big thanks to Wes at the Gastown store!)
So Custom
As always, the Chicago Store Rocks! Jack and Beckie, we love you
All in the ankles Mr Bond
I now need more skinny pants that will fit between me and the Lunas. Yes, they are worth building a small wardrobe around and are such a classic and wearable boot, I expect to be enjoying for many more lunas.
Great Service, thanks Preet!!
Luna Love?
My Love Affair Continues
LOVE these - need winter care advice.
Beauty!!
As for the shoe size, I'd go smaller, and let them stretch. I went a size bigger because my size was just right, and I feel like they started loosening up too much within a week.
Back again to comment on wear!
Nice boots
MY FIRST VOG DISAPPOINTMENT
Kickass, Indeed!
skinny calfs
Tried these on, put them on layaway!
