Description
The Caravaggio was a heel as lavish as the Italian Baroque painter it was named after. He was famous not just for his dramatic work and use of chiaroscuro lighting, but also for his tumultuous life that included jail, murder, and exile. True to his art, Caravaggio was vulgar, sacrilegious, and always looking for a decent fight - ultimately leading to a murder charge and death warrant on his head by the Pope. Now that is drama. The Caravaggio you see here was built on an exquisite Louis the 14th hexagonal 3" heel with luscious satin bows threaded into the t-strap, and two adjustable buckled straps. This extravagant heel was a palette on which to merge your dramatic artistic lifestyle. There's no fashion like old fashion.

LOVE
They were comfortable right out of the box(which almost never happens) and they are so fabulous everyone is complimenting me left and right.
Gorgeous and Comfy!
yes.
These are hot. In a catch-your-breath sort of way. I ordered them as party shoes, but until they make their splashy debut, they sit unassumingly in my bedroom. I am considering ordering bedding to match. And a white corinthian pedestal. They warrant prominent display, perhaps, even, a small altar.
Don't shelf the Caravaggios!
I own 12 pairs of Vogs (SO FAR), but these ones slipped past me before I had the opportunity to pick them up. Yes, they are still available in paisley, but it's a bit too light of a look for my taste.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE produce these babies in a gunmetal grey, or shiny silver, or cherry red... or even a much darker paisley!
These are too gorgeous to finish production so soon.
(also, a favourite-ing system that emails you when your ideal style/size/colour is on sale or nearly sold out, like modcloth.com has, would be AMAZING on fluevog.com - I expect it would even increase sales.)

My 10th pair!
Going for Baroque
Life is short, buy these shoes
Ooh La La!
Baroque Caravaggio's: FABULOUS, DARLING!
I typically wear an 11 medium width in most non-designer casual or dress styles, or a 41 or 42 in casual Euro styles like Mephisto or Dansko. Even within a brand my size varies. I called the DC store and spoke to someone there who advised that I order the 10.5 since it runs "wide." Since I sometimes find designer shoes are very narrow for my average width foot, I was a little leery of that advice, given the higher heel height. I ordered the 11 and subsequently received an email from the Denver store which had the caramel Caravaggios I ordered. They advised the 11. I bought the 11 and am glad I did. The 10.5 would have been too narrow and too short.
I just received them today after about a 2 week wait. They seem very comfy right out of the box, something that never happens with my shoes. They're slightly loose in the heel, but on the whole they fit beautifully. My toes are slightly cramped when walking or standing, but I am not used to wearing heels higher than 2 inches (these are about 3-3/4) and I rarely do that any more. I am practicing daily to learn to walk in gorgeous heels again.
Just to be thorough regarding sizing, I have to buckle these babies in the 2nd to last (loosest) hole on the 2 straps. Pulling tighter would be too tight.
These could be boxy, or designed to be too pointed but the angled toe box is both comfortable and very flattering. Makes a bigger foot look smaller (remember the big feet on Cinderella's stepsisters? That would be me, except I am nice, despite my big feet, and would never treat anyone like they treated Cinders.)
I will buy more Fluevogs. They are THE very thing I was looking for to go with a very classically styled, but asymmetrically modern dress for my son's wedding in March. The Caravaggio's are feminine with the bows, unique, glamorous, fun and totally different. These are perfect to make a contrast in style in a neutral color. No one else will have these shoes. They are fabulous, Darling! They should have been delivered on a satin pillow by a footman.
Awesome Sauce
Bellissimo!
I have a wider foot and these are just beautiful on. I get compliments galore when I wear them. I bought the burgundy colour and they are divine!
Love these Vogs!
Love, love, love!
Sensational.
Thank you, Boston and the entire Fluevog family!
P.S. I only put '6' for whether I'd recommend Fluevog or not to my friend... Because I don't have many friends who'd love Fluevog style...and it's not cheap so that's why! I LOVE THE SHOES.
Gorgeous *and* comfy! What a combo!
Adorable
Not really a pink...
Way cuter in person!
New Addition to My Shoe Museum
I have tried them on and walked around several times, and can vouch for the fact that they are very comfortable, but mostly I just look at them and sigh.
Gorgeous, yet comfortable
Thank you for two pair of the finest, most well-fitted, and beautiful shoes I have ever owned.
I'm sure I could have paid more for a shoe, but it wouldn't have been a better shoe.
I'm grateful for my health, my job, my home, my car, and my family and friends are my LOTTO. I am grateful for my shoes and that you exist to design them.
A hug and a kiss for you and those who work for you,

Party like it's 1632
I have a wide foot, and I wore a pair of socks with them around the house to break them in for a day... and now I can dance all night in these supple leather beauties.
The compliments, the looks! The way it looks amazing with a black dress!
The Burgundy ones are mine, because who doesn't like a sexy red kick?
I just adore these shoes so much that I came up with excuses to wear them at work...
Now if Fluevog would only make this in a pastel color... I could get my Marie Antoinette on!
Gorgeous, unusual, and comfortable!
Yummy - Perfect Shoe Candy!!!
They Made me Swoon
How can shoes this fun, unusual, beautiful and heeled be so comfortable? It's the magic.
Love at First Sight!
This are gorgeous, comfy, and as well made as always!
