WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BEST BOOTS EVER???
Best boots I have ever owned
Squeaky shoes
Super Squeaky!!!
Love at first sight that turned sour three months later
First of all there sizing is truly awkward. I always wear a 7.5 yet somehow the right length of shoes for me with Fluevog's BBC is 6.5. The only thing that is truly a problem about that is that though the sizing of the length can fit they do become narrower with the smaller size. While in the store I was told , do not worry they will give in, it;s better to buy the tighter fit as they will stretch and possibly become to loose. Well I bought these shoes three months ago and they are still super tight around the toe seam! They advertise them as medium narrowness yet believe you me they are not! They are indeed a narrow fit! THE BIGGEST disappointment though is that after three months of wearing them i already have to change their heels and front sole rubber. This is what I was advised to do when I took them back to the store. I was told that you must change the soles as they are already worn into the under-sole. ! Seriously? Three months of wear and I already have to pay to change the soles? I have always bought real cuio leather shoes and NEVER been in this situation!! I am confident that the 275 $ plus tax is not for the craftsmanship of these shoes but for their name ! I wish i could take them back!
Luscious Lace-Ups
I love these shoes!
Being an international customer I am always pleased with the customer service when I order my shoes.

Best boots ever!!!
I never take these off!!
Best Goddamn Shoes!!! oops, maybe that's a bit much for here....
Duck Dynasty Shoes?
I love these boots!
2) I'd say these boots fit true to size. They're comfortable, versatile and well-made and I can tell they're going to be one of my favourite pairs of 'vogs.
hipsters delight
Loving the purple ones!
Not what I expected
I have wider feet, and this shoes was little tight for me. From the photo, it looks like it's wider shoes. I wanted a wider look (chunky look) but I'm little sad about this.
This shoes, definately looks better with little warn out look.
À part çaa, les bottes sont certainement bonnes pour quelques décades (mon désir). Elles sont magnifiques.
Ma fille, 10 ans, les qualifie de "Nanny McPhee boots!"
they just make me happy
Anyway, I love them, I love that they're suede and I can brush off any dried dirt, and I love the way the YYC store treated me. You really should get a pair.
sad face
Love the boots
I finally gave in after a few blister-filled months and had them stretched out by a professional. So. Worth. It. Now all my other shoes are jealous, since I pretty much wear only these shoes throughout the fall, going strong for almost 3 years now. Will never give them up.
The product photos don't do these boots justice, especially for smaller women's sizes. . . it looks goofy here!
LOVE IT!
My first and go-to Fluevogs
Magic
If the shoe fits, wear it!
Love Them
I love the Boston Vog!
Love 'em, but seams?
I would have paid another $50 for a boot with a smooth leather lining...
Will have to glue something on top or wear bandaids...
So many people swear by these so hopefully one gets used to it...:( (:-|
Great Boots
These boots are my favourites yet--they were instantly comfortable and needed minimal breaking in, and make me feel like walking all the way across Canada! They are rugged enough for when I go home to the Yukon, cute with a skirt in the city, under pants, over pants, laced up or worn slouchy... they are camping boots, walking boots, adventure-on-the-high-seas boots!!! :-D
Even Beautiful Boots Break Your Heart
Kenny Rogers taught me, "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer," and now I know why. It hurts, Kenny. It hurts.
love love love
ab fab!
dresses, rolled up jeans and so many more options the versatility of them is phenomenal! So worth the 3 year hunt for this style of boot to be created
again.. way to go John and staff! Much Love and Appreciation
Now I know why everyone has these
Help!
I LOVE these boots!
I LOVE these boots!
LOVE these boots!
Burgundy is intense
Oh, heaven!
I got a size 8 (wear a 7 1/2 in muggle shoes) and they fit perfectly. Jill from the Vancouver store checked the fit, and she even sent an extra pair of laces along - thank you! Spent the evening lovingly rubbing dubbin into the boots (I got the brown) and they're just wonderful. Can't wait for the slush to be gone so that I can start wearing these!
Love....
They are a beautiful, broken-in brown and are narrow enough for my stupid narrow feet. I think they will only get more comfortable as they get more broken in - now to figure out which will be my next pair...
stares please
The perfect casual lace-up
Like I said, it's the perfect casual lace-up. I dress it up sometimes with dark jeans and a jacket. I got the dark brown ones with the turquoise laces! HIP! I find that using a neutral shoe polish/wax works best. As it doesn't really change the color (darkens just a tad) and even enhances and protects the natural wear and grain of the leather.
I tremendously enjoy this shoe John Fluevog! Thank you!
Love them
I love my Radio BBC's
Love love love
Best Boots!
Perfect.
Sizing Sadness
Perfect in every way
So the skinny on what i can tell you about these boots:
1) My girls and i both own a pair of BBC if that is telling you anything. Heck i would own a second pair if it weren't for some pesky kids selling other fluevog varieties!
2) If you are a 1/2 size go up to the next full size.
3) My 11s stretched enough to allow me to wear a superfeet 3/4 insole in them, even though they were super tight to begin with. But Clare's(my girl) fit perfect to begin with and have not over stretched in any way. Hum, perhaps magic of some sort?
4) I wore down the gummy leather sole on mine pretty quick and had a rubber 3/4 sole put on top to keep them trucking. I think the newest ones have a rubber 3/4 sole on them for this reason.
5) These bad boys have survived me working in a machine shop environment with NO signs of stopping anytime soon.
6) BBC boots look great with cuffed jeans or fancy pants for going out. Perhaps even attending a wedding if your hip enough?
So the BBC are both soft and loving while being ready for the rough and tumble life.
Thanks go out to the boston store for all there help and guidance in all things fluevogian.
I less than three the BBC
Absolutely love the BBC's!
I have to say I couldn't have been more excited when I knew that my black BBC boots were on their way from Vancouver's Granville store. I am even more excited, and totally satisfied, now that I've been wearing my BBC's for a couple weeks. I work in a clinic and have even worn them for some of my 10-hour days on my feet and have never felt the horrible pain of new-boot blisters. It almost feels like they were made for my feet! I can't recommend these boots more highly! Rush out and get a pair!
Very chic, sturdy and affordable boots
I did notice that between two identical sizes of the same black boot (from different shipments) there was a big difference in the inside feel of the boot. One pair had a bulky and uncomfortable seam inside underneath the toe cap topstiching, as well as a more stiff and protruding back heel seam inside. So I opted for the "newer" shipment pair that did not have the Topy sole on them, but were smooth and comfortable in the interior. I'm glad that I tried them in person.
Since they are on layaway (I was only going to try the size but when I realized how cool they were and how fast they sell I thought I should put tham aside)...I can't speak to the overall comfort and wearability, but judging by the other reviews they will be good for years to come.
A very beautiful shape, rugged, artsy and utilitarian. I have black ones on hold at JF and burgundy on hold at Gravity Pope (again I wanted to snag the ones with a comfy lining in burgundy while available).
So, these fit a narrow foot very well, but have lots of room for adjustment. Excellent value for the quality of boot. Can't wait to get both of mine and run around town! :) :-}
kick butt boots
A very fine boot
If you are wondering if you should buy your Fluevogs - stop, just do it. You will be happy you did. *Absolutely* the finest boot I ever bought. Will I wear my BBCs while on my bike? no, I have other boots for that, but in all other cases, it's me and my BBCs. As with other folks here, the support folks couldn't be more attentive and available. I don't leave near a Fluevog store, so Monica from San Francisco called me several times as we discussed various aspects of my boots. I got them friday and am loath to take them off. I cannot encourage you too much to go ahead - buy them. Just do it. /john
