Viv is kickin' it old school. Her design is straight out of the Fluevog history books and her style is as eternal as a red lip. The Kitschy Kitschy Boom Boom Family exhumes classic style and Viv's curves and funky, swirly detail epitomizes Victorian styling and modern eccentricity. She has the rubber soles of The Hope Family, aniline leather of The Mini Family, and a 2.5" heel reminiscent of The Wearever heel. She's the perfect addition to The KKBB Family and any Fluevoger's wardrobe.

So Cute and SOOO Comfy
Picked up purple/black Vivs on a whim at the Calgary store and am so glad I did. They go with everything and fit really well.
I am normally a 5.5 and often get a 6 and add a heel pad (I have pretty wide feet), in this one the 6 is perfect so definitely size up.

Purple-y perfect in every way!
Love the pink/purple/black Vivs; purchased at the Seattle, WA store on Pine St in November 2015. Love at first sight/first wearing! I normally wear an 8.5 (US) or 39 (Euro); needed a 9.5 in these. I have narrow feet and appreciate the lace-up feature. My Vivs draw compliments every time I wear them.

Full size up
I'm a street size 10 and got these in an 11. Viv feels like they were custom made for my feet! These are showstoppers, even in the dark tones (black, purple and pink).
This entire shoe family is a home run!

LOVE THEM
I really did want the black, white, and pink ones, but alas, they sold out before I could get my bank account in shape. However, I am NOT disappointed with the purple, pink, and black Viv. Comfy, snazzy enough to wear for dress up, and muted enough to wear with jeans. I've always, always wanted a shoe that looked like this, but the heels were too tall, and the shoes were so tiny. These round out so nicely, even for a 9.5 size like me!

Such a cute shoe!
Picked these up at my local shop and they're so cute! They're already comfortable after one day of wearing, and are on par with the Operettas in terms of comfort and fit. I went down a half size to a 9 from my usual 9.5 and they fit perfectly (my foot is a bit on the wider and shorter side). Such a great, everyday shoe for a casual day out, but still eye catching with their purple and pink design.

'Accidentally' went home with these...
I sojurned up to Flueog Denver today to pick up a replacement pair of Babycakes, as my year old Husky decided my first pair were the perfect chew toy.
Even though I had already purchased the Babycakes, I absolutely had to try these on. It just so happened that the only pair of purple Vivs left were in my size - I usually wear a 10.5 in 'Vogs, but discovered I needed to move up to an 11 for a smidgen extra length.
After about two hours of deliberation wandering around downtown Denver, my husband and I elected to return my replacement Babycakes for these. I wore them out of the store and haven't regretted it a bit.
Babycakes, I will be returning for you in the near future - but as it stands right now, the Vivs weaseled their way into my heart and will stay there for quite some while.
Thank you to the amazing staff of the Denver store, who dealt with my crazy decision with grace!

Vivs are a hit!
I sized up from my usual 10s in Vog shoes to an 11, and they are a perfect fit! My heel is held in well but there is room in the toe box so my feet aren't smashed. I wore them for a full day at a convention straight out of the box with no problems at all. Love my black & white beauties & can't wait to dance in them at Viva Las Vegas!

LOVE this shoe
I LOVE this shoe. Much better arch support than a lot of the other lines, and a great fit thanks to the lace-up design. Super adorable and super comfortable. And the new purple/pink/black color combo is terrific. This one will be on my feet a lot.

Fun Shoe
I have these in brown and love them to bits. Like others, I had to go up in size...in my case to 9.5 from my usual Vog 9. My only complaint is that very shortly after purchasing them, I noticed the paint on one heel had scrapped off in a couple of spots, showing the white plastic underneath. I have no idea how it happened as I am very careful with my shoes. Luckily I found some fingernail polish the same colour and repaired them. No one else can see the repair unless they are looking very closely but I know it is there.

Fantastic shoe!
Firstly, thank you Rachel for being AMAZING and helping me find 2 gorgeous pairs of Vogs. You absolutely made my afternoon. Second, I ADORE my new Vivs. Crazy comfy and so pretty! I normally wear an 8.5, but with my long toes, I took a 10 in these sweeties. I'll be back and I hope I see you in Davis.

My boyfriend and I visited the D.C. location for Fluevog Day 2014 (my second trip, his first) and we were not disappointed! Shawn was amazing - managing to get a "noob" of the granola & Birkenstock persuasion to try on SIX pairs of Vogs. Quite the feat! And while he didn't make a purchase, my better half is definitely a believer and appreciates the craftsmanship that goes into each and every pair. I bought the Viv in black/white/pink, and after a LONG afternoon trotting around Georgetown, when I slipped those babies on for dinner out they felt like a dream. Upsized a full size (7 to 8) for a perfect fit.

O.....M.......G........so cute!
Received these fantastic shoes today . I got the tan and blue. That was a hard choice given the black and white color combination. OMG.......absolutely adorable. Made this purchase from the Boston store. Fantastic people working there. So eager to help. Highly reliable. With their recommendation I sized up to a 9, I normally wear 8.5. Tiny....tiny bit small. My toes slightly touch the top of the shoe. Not enough to return...no way!!!!

The Unicorn of Shoes
I bought the black & whites at the Seattle store. (Props to Willy for being so helpful!!) I take a 10 in non-Vogs and needed these in an 11 so be careful ordering online. Super comfy for a heel and they make my long feet look small. Really, really cute shoes.
February 13, 2014
Truly unique and gorgeous!
I adore these shoes. They run a whole size small though. I wear a 10 in most shoes, a 10 1/2 in Fluevogs and I got 11 1/2. They fit perfectly! The white and black are amazing. I think I'll get the brown ones too! I love Fluevog!

Kitschy kitschy oh yeah!
Love these babies. Catherine is the best... I didn't look twice, but she had me try on Viv, we found the right size and walked with them on. Can't wait to go back again and see what I'll be wearing this spring!

don't make me take them off
Super helpful sales guy at Boston Back Bay store encouraged me to try these (sorry, I don't remember your name, you were awesome!!) when I explained my wide toe/narrow heel foot situation. My normal size, 5.5-6, was waaaay to small in the length (very unusual for me) so I sized up to a 6.5 and the fit was perfection. The toe box is roomy the heel is narrow to hold my feet, the walk is incredibly stable with great traction. And best of all they are beautiful!! Tons of compliments already, wearing them everywhere and with everything. The leather is much stiffer than some other shoes, which is great for support but means there is a bit of a breaking-in period involved, nothing blister-invoking just a feeling when walking that my foot was fighting to make the shoe conform. I'm sure we'll all work things out. Mostly sheer comfort straight out of the box. And the color combo is too adorable.

gorgeous shoes
I bought these beauties in a 7 (but that was me being strongheaded and wanting the shoes NOW as opposed to waiting a bit). I tried them at home and although they fit (my usual size is a 7.5 and my feet are narrow)I had to admit that I needed my normal size. So, I exchanged them for a 7.5 which I am wearing at home as I type, and I wish I had listened to the other reviewers who went up half a size. The 7.5 fit me well but my right foot appears to be a tiny bit larger than the left and it feels tight. I hope the leather will stretch in time as I don't want to exchange them again (no fluevog store in my city). If you have wide feet make sure to go up in size, like I said, my feet are very narrow and they feel a bit constricted in these, maybe you have better chance with the Liz which were huge width-wise on my feet. The insole feels cushiony and the arch support is quite nice.
That being said, I fell in love with the Vivs the moment I saw them on the website. I bought the black and white with thin pink piping colourway. They look amazing, make the foot and legs look great, very retro chic. Unlike some of my other Fluevogs, I could see myself wearing them with pants, although my preference would be dresses and skirts, all the better to show the beautiful swirls on the side and back.

I got these beauties from Modcloth.com, and I am so in love. I have been stalking Viv since she showed up on the Fluevog site, and I finally took the plunge and brought her home. I got the brown ones, and they are so beautiful. As expected, they are comfy, and I expect loads of compliments. A note about sizing: I normally wear a 6.5 (slightly wide feet with high arches), and the 7.5 is what fits my feet best. These beauties are my new favorite Fluevogs (which is saying a lot because I have many Fluevogs, like double digits number of Fluevogs).

Viv was an immediate "Must buy!", the brown and blue are just about the cutest Fluevogs I've seen in years, love the retro look of them. I already have 2 pairs of Liz so went with the same size in Viv, 8. They fit perfectly and very comfortably with tights, but if I wanted to wear a thicker sock I think an 8.5 would be necessary. I'm a 7.5 to 8 in my other Fluevogs.

The perfect shoe
As soon as I saw the add contest for these I was dying for them to come to stores. It was love at first sight with the black and white ones. When I went to try them on I also feel in love with the blue and brown, but that is another story. I stuck with the black and white and have worn them several times. I always get compliments and they make my feet happy!!! I wear anywhere from a 6-7 depending on the Vog, with these I got the 7 and they are just perfect!

Bought them in both colors -- they are amazing!
Made the trek to Montreal and was looking for lace-ups with some support, reasonable heel and lots of style. These are it!!! Coincidentally, I was wearing a hot pink top and black yoga pants, so these actually worked with my outfit! Bought them in the blue and brown as well for jeans. Amazing fit and support -- felt as if they were custom-made. And made my 9 VERY WIDE feet look teeny weeny! I danced in them in the store!

Beauts!
You have to see these in person! The pictures don't do it justice. Very classic and amazing!. In the malibrans and luxons, the 7 fits me like a glove. I tried the 7's in these and they were a smidge to tight so I went up to 7 1/2. In the store they seemed perfect size. I'm thinking now I should have stuck with the 7's as I got blisters right away. However the comments and looks I got at these babies sure made up for that blister ;) Andrea was amazing in the shop! She's my new go to vog girl!!

Go try them on!
I tried on the Liz and didn't like the fit, and have heard lots of other complaints from people about it as well. So when the darling Viv came out, I hesitated for a while. Trying it on in store seemed mandatory, rather than attempting to size it online. I went downtown today and was floored at the sizing! My non-Vog size is an 8M in just about everything. My Mini and Operetta size is an 8. In these shoes I had to go to a 9.5! They are extremely small, and it is too bad that girls with larger size feet probably won't be able to wear them. They are adorable and I hope to get a lot of fun wear out of them this winter.

Yet another new fave ...
Oh yeah. I got the brown & blue and they are classic Fluevog - one of his funkiest in years, with a touch of Victoriana. They run a full size small, so online buyers be careful - even half a size up and my toe hits the end. The Viv being tied-up shoelace shoes, though, seem to hold my foot further back. They make my foot look smaller than the Kitschy Liz does, even though they are on the identical last. Fantastic colour combo with a touch of aqua in the detailing. New fave!

These are awesome
Each time I buy a pair of Fluevogs, the newest pair become my new favorite, and that's definitely the case here. Both colorways are so awesome in person I had to go back a second time before committing to the brown/blue.
As the Beca mentioned, these run way small. I take a 6 in every other Fluevog I own, regardless of the last, but in this shoe I took a 7 (which is my shoe size outside of Fluevog-land).
If your toe hits the front of the Liz's (mine does and I've been told that happens with some other folks too) the Viv holds your foot back better so you don't feel your toes touching the shoe.
Fluevogs are amazing and legitimately comfy, the Viv's are no different. Buy these.

2 for 2!
Two shoes from the new kitschy kitschy boom boom family and two new shoes for the collection. Definitely run very short in the toes but great for wider feet-- I usually wear a 9-9.5, and got a 10 in the Viv (9.5 in the Liz). Super comfy for all-day wearing and killer color. Rachel at the Boston store was a joy to see, as usual.
