Colour coordindation awesome
The Black wing tips and the ox blood/red upper is a fantastic mix. The soul did not work for me...if you could change the soul and make the colour the same, I'd buy three pairs. Best shoes I've ever owned and I wish I had bought three pairs at the time. I notice you still carry them, but again. A different soul, I'd buy multiples...so loved those shoes, the wearing was off because of the elevated soul and a such died too early.

Resists alkali, water, acid, fatigue, Satan... and High-Speed Impacts! (Sort of)
I've wanted Fluevogs for years. A committed barefooter, they were the only fancy shoes I'd ever consider. I finally bought them about a month ago, and got to wear them all of a dozen times. Tons of compliments, great for all-day lab work. I got size 7s, and they fit tight at first, but became smooth as butter and never did me any harm in the breaking-in process. Broke in in about two days.
Then I was t-boned. The entire passenger side crunched. Door gone, passenger seat crumpled, glovebox crunched into what remained of the door and the seat. My only passenger was the pair of coveted 'Vogs in the front seat...and they were firmly entrenched in the mass of plastic and metal.
The other car leaked fluids onto them, and they're a little warped- not quite as comfortable or beautiful as they were yesterday- but they survived.
So did I. It's just a pair of shoes... but it made a bad day just a little bit better.
(Also, since they're the departing Black & Whites and were the last in my size, I'm real glad they made it.)

Best Shoes in the Universe!
I saw a colleague wearing the Angel Supervog Blues... Love at first sight! I ordered a pair of the Angel Michael black and white wing-tips, got them a few days later and have worn them to work every day since then - MEGA compliments, and on a personal level they are so very comfortable; my days are often 10-14 hours, most of that time standing (retail) and my feet are so happy at the end of each day!

I love My Angel Soles!
I've just sent my aged mother off to Vancouver in search of the Fluevog store to find me a new pair of Angel sole Michaels. I've had mine for three or maybe four years and they have been through wars; Hiking in unbroken forest, marching in street parades, dancing at clubs and keeping my feet dry and Satan-free! A friend recently admonished me for wearing such nasty, broken down shoes and I had a closer look at my feet to discover that, indeed, my shoes have seen better days! The fine stitching has come apart, the soles are thinned out and the once glorious leather is tattered. I still love them and will continue to wear them until a new pair finds their way to me. Good luck, Mom!

great service, horrible shoe
ordered a pair of these for a wedding. when they arrived the shoes seemed to be two different sizes. equally difficult to accept - especially on a shoe at this price - was the absolutely shoddy workmanship. glue, both white and black oozing from seams that were themselves not tight. eyelets on the left shoe were not even properly lined up. how it passed inspection at the factory, much less the store is a mystery.
the staff, however, were great in dealing with the problem. they overnighted me a pair so that i could wear them at the wedding i had bought them for. they were kind, understanding and really helpful.
they did tell me that fluevog is looking for a new factory in which to produce these shoes because they have had quite a few complaints. I think this is a great idea.
especially as the new pair they sent me has the same finishing problems and, in addition, the welting of the sole is done incorrectly.
great service. good people. sorry product.

Sexy Wing Tips? Not an Oxymoron!
I adore my red/black Michaels! Besides pairing them with slacks and blazer for a more corporate look (if I must...), I wear them with black fitted turtleneck, short red/black plaid skirt, and black tights. HOT HOT HOT and I've received many compliments of the "Hey, great look, great SHOES!" variety. I expect to be rocking these babies right up to the executive suite!

Comfy as hell
So I bought a new pair of the Michael in Burgundy and black in Gastown today. Originally I went in to buy a pair of Supervogs but these both seemed better looking and better made. The Supervogs by comparison were already covered in creases from being tried on. I suspect it's just a matter of there being too much going on over the top of the pair and the relatively hard leather just didn't seem to be dealing with all that stitching holding it in place. Perhaps a result of using different leather vs the originals and moving production to China? Conversely, all that seems to have benefited the Michaels. I am staggered at how well these have broken in over a timeframe of...a couple hours? I've never had a pair go from feeling very rigid and structural to feeling like socks in practically no time at all. Credit goes to the angel sole which is very soft and flexible. It definitely helps the shoe mold and settle around your foot in record time.
As for the looks, how could they not garner attention? Colour and shape combine to catch everyone's eyes. I'm also pretty stoked I don't have to worry too much about what I wear to pull them off. Pretty much the perfect shoe.
The only downside to buying these was that it took me 3 attempts before finally pulling the trigger. The first two times I went into the Fluevog store on Granville the staff absolutely sucked. Standoffish, kind of snobby and definitely didn't want to be there. Definitely not who you want repping the brand in Van. So I figured I'd try the Gastown location. I got a wicked salesman named Andrew, all the staff were really nice and the stock was a bit more complete (at least for what I was looking at). Done deal.

I got hitched in these shoes
I'm not big on gushing, as a general rule, but felt moved to say something about my Fluevogs. I bought a pair of solid black Angels (US size 11) in 1995, while preparing for my wedding. A savvy sister-in-law said they were the best and well...she wasn't lying. Although they're a little softer and the passage of time can't be denied, they still hold a place of honor among the shoes in my closet. That's right: after 17 years, they still look and feel amazing! Thanks for making something so great. Cheers.

FAN-F$#KING-TASTIC!
I ordered a pair online, but they were sized a little too big. Returned them, and was able to pick up a pair that fit properly in San Francisco.
They chewed up my feet like crazy--several silver dollar sized blisters.
X-)
Once my feet healed, I wore them for a day with damp socks--when the socks dried out, wet 'em again. Did that maybe 8 times. By the end of the day I could tell they fit better. The next time I wore them, they were the best fitting and most comfortable shoes I have ever had.
:-B
I just found a pair of the b&w Mikes in a thrift store for $7, but sadly, too small to be able to stretch. If they come back, though, I would sell my mother for a second pair.

MIchael's The Arc Angel of Boots
I got these boots for Christmas in 1998 after my stepfather Michael died. My mom ordered them off of the then burgeoning internet from the San Francisco store. They've been pounding urban pavement all over; Montreal, St. Petersburg, Vancouver, L.A., Savannah, Detroit, and Baltimore to name a few, and through countless rock shows, including playing at the Fleuvog store in Wicker Park, Chicago. I've glued the heels back on a few times now and I finally have to break down and get them resoled, although I am still wearing them as I write this. I had an incident in Brooklyn this last fall where I had to double back a few blocks and miraculously found my missing heel. I was a bit blotto at the time. These are the best possible answer as far as shoes are concerned, especially at their price. I've trucked through disgustingness in The Tenderloin and then worn them to the office. I've been in the pit at rock shows and then worn them to weddings. Their classic wigtip design is sophisticated and tough. I've had three pairs of 'Vogs in my life, all of which were great, and have stories of their own, but these have managed to never get stolen because they have never left my side. I love these boots. They've become a sartorial signature of mine. They are truly wonderful and the only thing I would want to replace them with are new ones just like them. PLEASE keep making these.
March 27, 2012
I've had mine for 17 years
I bought my black Michaels 17 years ago, have worn them consistently, just today got them resoled; they're like new, only better. They really are the best!

A Brown Michael Please
I am on my 4th pair of Michaels. Best shoe I have ever owned! My only suggestion is more colors please. If you would make a brown Michael I would seriously never have to buy another pair of shoes from anyone but Fluevog. I have the limited edition Michael in brown with green suede...best show ever!!!!!!

Great shoes, but poor wear and tear
I ordered a pair of Michael's Angels nearly two years ago. While they are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and while I get a lot of compliments for them, I can't say I'm pleased with how they "wear and tear". I barely had them a year and the soles started cracking. The insoles have been disintegrating for some time now. And, I can't wear these for long distances (i.e. walking home from work, which is about three miles) without getting blisters on the pads of my feet below the toes.
I'm going to be in Seattle and NYC in February and thought I'd visit your stores. I'd love to get other pair of these shoes, only because they're so cool and so comfortable, but I'm not going to lay out $200 for a pair if this is how they don't hold up. (Frankly, I find this part of Fluevogs shocking. I owned a pair of similar shoes from Bass that I bought at an outlet nearly 10 years ago. I finally got rid of those shoes last year, because they were beyond wearable.)

Easy to break if you know how
I love these shoes. If you have heel issues, do what I did. I got a pair of vice grips and I bent them slightly. I wear nothing but angel-soled shoes for business and pleasure. My red and black ones have broken in beautifully. I have too many pairs to mention.
January 12, 2012
Great shoe for me.
I have my father's feet - which is not a good thing. I am constantly on the look out for shoes that will allow me to walk with a minimum of discomfort.
These Fluevogs have turned out to be one of the best shoes that I have bought in years. I wear them very often and in all kinds of weather. They stay comfortable and they stay good looking. I am also impressed with the rate of wear as I am hard on shoes. These look like they will last.

Great shoes, require breaking in.
I have read several reviews mentioning how brutal these shoes can be to ones heels. It is true. I suffered many painful blisters, even though the sales person had included heel pads when I purchased the shoes. I even shelved them for about a year. At that point, I returned to the store, and talked to a woman who added a pad BELOW the heel area of the insole. Finally, I had happy heels with no blisters. I packed these shoes and a few cards of moleskin with me on my trip to New Orleans, and by the end of the week, these shoes fit like a dream. Moleskin was needed for a few toe blisters, but it allowed me to tough it out for the entire week with quite a lot of walking, and it was just the trial by fire required.
I plan on buying another pair, now that I know how to break them in.

BRING BACK THE BLACK & WHITE
Best show I have ever worn!!! From the reviews I guess you either love them or hate them, so hopefully we have enough "love them" to get them to bring back the B&W shoe as I constantly get compliments on mine :)
October 12, 2011
disappointed
I was hesitant to buy these after seeing that they aren't made in any of the places i'd heard fluevogs are made (mine were made in china). I understand shoes wear out, but i have a pair of doc martens from the 1990s which have never needed repair or re-soling after several years of cumulative wear. Those were the last pair
of expensive shoes i had purchased, so i expected something similar.
Sadly, after about six months of wear (not constant, and at a desk job), the leather in the heel has worn out. I took them back to the shop, where they told me it was normal wear and tear. These will definitely be the last fluevogs i buy; i can buy cheaper shoes that last longer from countries that have better human rights records. Style isn't everything.

Michaels, I surrender
I am about to give up on my Angel Michaels, best looking shoes but just an awful fit, hard to break in, heel box too big, too much foot damage, what a pity. Glad I bought them on sale. Know what? I might try a different pair. Go figure. Next time I am in the store they might actually have something in my size for a change.
April 18, 2011
Im not a Vog virgin anymore!!!!!
WOW!!!!! I have always wanted a pair of vogs but could never find the right ones until now! I called the granivlle store and ordered a pair of michaels. I had them in 3 days to my door, now thats service. They rock so excited to wear them.
Cheers Chris :-D

Michaels: clearance shoes?
I got a pair of Michaels before I knew what they were (back in late 1999). The store where I bought them was clearing all of their shoes because they were not going to be carrying any shoes anymore. So they put everything on a major discount.
I picked up my pair for fifty something dollars.
I wore them nonstop: daily wear, as a waiter, high school graduation, college, as a barista, in my office job, my wedding, post-secondary again, funerals, weddings,for client meetings, as a college instructor, for corporate training, and for client first-impressions.
They have never lost their shine even in Alberta winters, I have had them resoled twice. Never broken a lace. Eleven years of solid wear. Comparatively, a pair of "MushYuppies" (hint hint) will last me less than three months with the amount of walking I do.
I am going to resole them and give them to my nephew when I see him this spring (2011) because he asks me for them every time I see him.
Before these shoes I completely underestimated the durability impact that satan can have on shoes.

(:-&
Oh Fluevog! Shame on you for censoring your reviews... I'm sorry you have problems producing your shoes in a timely manner. This shoes has been out stock in most common sizes for months. My previous review stating that fact mysteriously disappeared from the site. Deception is not an admirable quality in a reputable company!

Michael's hard to break in
I love these shoes, I get comments and admiring looks, must be the shoes! But they are hardest shoes to break in, and I spent 20 years breaking British Army boots!!
I had to buy heel protectors as they are a bit loose in that area. I had so much trouble breaking them in the first few days that I actually injured my left knee; torn ACL believe it or not. Anyway, I am sure my feet will break in in time. Did I mention I love them? Must be the Stockholm Syndrome because I am definitely looking at another pair of Vogs but a soft pair this time.
Quality is excellent.

Best Shoes on the Planet
I have worn these shoes for at least 15 years, and will continue to wear them until I drop dead. They are the most comfortable shoes on the planet, never go out of style, and always get me lots of compliments.
November 27, 2010
Best shoes ever!!
I have had my Michaels since 94' or 95' and they have survived as my favorite pair of sorta dressy shoes ever! Now mind you, over the course of all these yrs, they've seen the inside of many a seedy drinking establishment and no combination of stale booze, cigarette ash, puke, blood, and occasional handing out of a good ass whooping has dulled their finish. Excellent product and hats off to ya!!
November 24, 2010
BEST SHOE EVER
I bought my Michael's 11 years ago... they are the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. I wear them 3-4 times a week, every week. Just when I think they've had it, I send them back to be resoled and they come back looking like new (fresh polish, new laces and polished eye holes). I get compliments everywhere I go! Thanks!
November 24, 2010
Uggghhh
Bought a pair Angel Michaels in September this year & cannot continue to wear them as blister ontop of blister with my heels. Have worn them plenty of time to breal them in and still no deal.
Tremendously sore feet after wearing them and thats too bad, have heard nothing about good things regarding Vogs and this is the first pair I have owned...
Very Frustrating....
November 22, 2010
Fluevog is my fav!
Been wearing Fluevogs for a Long time now.
Love them the most stylish and brilliant!!!
One complaint on my new angels is that the heal has come off - can be glued so not a big deal but wish it didn't.
BUT I STILL ADORE MY FLUEVOGS!
November 5, 2010
So Sad...
ya know what sux......Ive been buying Flu's for a while now....got about 7 pairs...Love the heels but then I got a pair of Angel Micheals and now from the bad fit and the fact it is IMPOSSIBLE to break them in (and yes I got the right size) i now have a huge bone spur that may require surgery preventing me from wearing all of the other wonderful shoes that never hurt before. Ironic that my first pair or non heeled flues may have ruined my future in heels, cant even wear my Ophelias for more than an hour and Im worried I wont be able to wear my Ida's that are only a few months old....THANX FLUEVOG, please discontinue those awful shoes!!!!! (Angel Michaels) :-(
October 26, 2010
2 outta 3...
1. These beauties are totally snazzy. 2. They have have as much support as my weightlifting shoes (a lot!). However, 3. I'm clearly not in the no-breaking-in-required crowd because they also shredded my big toes and back of my heels on a walk through Georgetown. Some heel inserts and moleskin should fix me up just fine though. :-) (I should mention, my feet are unevenly sized and the smaller foot sustained the damage. The shoes are true to size.)
October 8, 2010
Love my Michaels
I have owned 3 x pairs in black and 1 x in brown and hunter green suede. Please make these in brown and limited edition color variants. I love this shoe but need some more colors...please :)

Only shoes I will ever wear.
Have owned 8 pair of Vogs in my short 36 years of life, while 4 of them have been the Black & Burgundy Angel Michaels as I was turned on to Fluevogs close to 15 years ago. What I love most about these is their versatility as you can wear them with a suite, jeans, I even wear them with shorts- I wear them w/ everything, all the time. The stitching on the heel counter on the left shoe came completely undone which was an easy fix. The pair I'm sporting now are going on seven years- figured this to realistically be abt. 5,500 walking miles as these shoes have carried me all across our fine nation from the Pacific NW to the everglades of South FL. Could most likely get 6 or even 8,000 miles if I were to have them re-souled but am simply ready for a new pair. As for fit I wear a U.S. 13 and they've always been a bit loose fitting which I prefer to a tight fit, although didn't notice the 12&1/2 size option last time I ordered which I will be taking advantage of this time around. Simply put- if it wasn't for my Fluevogs I believe I'd have to learn to make my own shoes. As a Christian man thank the Lord for my satan resistant Fluevogs- pun intended.

Long way to go for shoes
Love these shoes, got the boots too. Boots look great with a short skirt and thick tights. Pretty much assured I've got the only pairs around here.
May 8, 2010
Tasty...
I love my Vogs... Best shoes I haveever had. So cool, in fact, my 9 year old had to have them. I've got these... And he has the Supervogs. Wears'em almost everyday...
April 29, 2010
Awesome support
Besides being the most stylish, these shoes are so comfortable and supportive, I can wear them without orthotics. Love 'em!
April 22, 2010
Worlds Best Allround Shoe, but...
I've had 3 pairs, traveled extensively in them on 5 continents in both suits and jeans, and they are all still alive. The stitching sometimes needs repair, but this is understandable. The quality and fit varies a bit through all three pairs, but basically consistent quality. The only problem is the laces, which wear out relatively fast and are hard to replace, since they are short and thick. They should have metal (like my running shoes) or hard plastic tips. Also, where can you order the laces on line on your web site?
April 10, 2010
Everytime my boyfriend wears these shoes, I drool... they are awesome.
February 9, 2010
The best shoes in the world!!!
I have owned 3 pairs of Michael's over the years including a pair of limited edition brown leather with green suede. Were you reading my mind when you made them?
February 6, 2010
Fantastic
Bought mine last year to spice up my office wardrobe and simply cause I thought they looked and felt awesome! I've been super happy with them, get lots of compliments, and have since purchased 3 other pairs of vogs. I'll never go back to everyday boring shoes, when this kind of quality and style exist. Thanks Fluevog!

Best pair of shoes I have ever owned
I bought a pair of these in brown/cream 13 years ago. They are the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. They still look as if I bought them a few weeks ago. I also can't begin to describe how comfortable they are. I have terrible boney feet and these shoes are all day or a party or a 4 hour singing gig and not think twice about my feet. I'm getting ready to order a black pair right now.
November 8, 2009
Crappy
I bought these shoes less then a year ago and the leather has already ripped away from the sole of the shoe, not what I expected! >-(
November 2, 2009
A staple in my closet
I've owned a pair of these, as well as the now discontinued brogue boot version, since 1998. They have been with me to 28 different countries in all weather. I love these shoes. They are my friends. They will always be with me.
October 16, 2009
The first of many Fluevogs
I needed a pair of cool oxfords to wear with casual clothes and these fit the bill perfectly. I'm a classic size 7.5 and went up to 8 since I wear socks with these and they fit great, quite comfortable although the back of the heel was a little higher than my other oxfords and irritated a bit the first time I wore them, but I fixed that by stretching it a bit and placing a heel cushion inside.
October 6, 2009
Super cool in Lilac and Pink
I was looking for deals on the site and saw this pair in limited edition pink and lilac. I thought about it and then decided I had to have it. @>- Hubby ordered it online for me and loving it! Super comfy and everyone at work likes them! I feel like a bandit for getting these cool funky shoes for a steal of a deal! ()-)
August 17, 2009
Great Shoes!!
I have a brown pair of the Michael boot. I have worn them year-round and although the leather around the heal still looks like new, they are breaking down around the toes so it's time for a new pair. I bought them about 10 years ago and they're still super comfortable. They're just like the day I bought them.
August 13, 2009
So sad...
I have worn Angel shoes for the best part of ten years. The funky style has always been matched with a durable quality. Unfortunately my new pair of Angles just don't live-up to the quality I have been accustomed too. The first problem I noticed was that the leather-uppers are now considerably thinner. The second problem is the rubber soles are now the annoyingly soft Hush-Puppy style. The new Angels are indeed Satan proof...Satan wouldn't want to wear them. (:`(

Angels Gibson Swirls -- Quality Shift?
Love these shoes. Bought my 1st pair of black-n-whites way back when in the 90's, Made in Mexico. Wore them to death, re-soled, etc. Finally broke down, thought I wanted something shinier so got a new pair in 2005, Made in China. Fit different, crooked tongue, shorter tops/eyelets place farther away from the ankle. Anyhoo...first time I wore them = major scuffage on the tops. The leather seemed to be waaaay thinner, less sturdy, kind of like it's painted on. Don't know. All I know is that they totally look like crap. Haven't worn them out since. Effin tragic. So, I'm back wearing the 90's pair, which oddly enough have no scuffs on the tops. Where has the quality gone? The past few pairs of Vogs I've purchased, well, they just aren't made as well as they used to be. :-(
April 18, 2009
These shoes seize attention wherever they go. People love them. I have the original black & whites, made in Mexico. The ones made in China are more pliable, but I like tough.
March 25, 2009
the longest lasting shoes...
I first bought a pair of the Angels in either 1995 or 1996 and still have them have had to soles put on them and started to wear out the stitching was wearing out. I have since bought a new pair and they are like the same pair of shoes, only newer. I love them, Thanks John. Shawn

Simply the best in Toronto
I picked up these little devils in Toronto on a chilly saturday afternoon. Fell in love with them as soon as I saw a pair that fit my feet. To say I love them is an understatement: i'm on waiting lists for black/red and black/white in my size. The solid black go with everything, are comfortable as all hell and get looks, stares and complements from all the skirts :) Now all i need is an old fashioned, a little jazz quartet, and a new three piece suit! Fluevog, you made a believer out of me.
December 8, 2008
No comparison
Hands down these are the best shoes I have EVER bought in my entire life. Ever. I will soon be buying another pair as my previous set got destroyed in a house accident :-( . I miss them more than I care to admit about shoes. I am still mourning the loss of my black and white ones.. I wore them for years and years and would have continued to wear them if I had them still. They are the epitome of comfort (not a blister or tender foot in sight after a long day), and they go with everything! I could wear them to work, and then jeans and they are still fabulous and the highlight of my outfit.

Great Shoes and Great Comments
I've gotten more favorable comments about these shoes than any other shoe I have owned, Fluevog or other. These comments are from people who range from 14 to 65 years old. Simply, these are great, great shoes, all the way around!! Now build a store in Minneapolis and I'll be really happy!! ,-)
November 21, 2008
Angel: Michael
@>- I have two of these. In the black and pink: and the violet and pink. I always get notice wearing these shoes. Comfortable, like walking on a cloud.
November 10, 2008
I bought these shoes in mid 2008. I thought they were a little expensive, but I wanted to treat myself to something nice. Let me tell you, these shoes are like magic to the ladies! :-D I am an average looking guy, and a little bit shy, but when I wear these shoes I get tons and tons of complements from girls. They look at me, they smile, they say those are some nice shoes. I can't believe it! I'm broke. I'm laid off from work, and yet all types of girls give me complements. They just walk right up to me and smile. wow!!! I have been tearing through my closet looking for junk to sale just to purchase another pair. fabulous and extremely, I mean extremely comfortable to wear! worth every penny. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't give a positive review so as to not increase the competition with the ladies.

Styling Shoes
I was given a pair of Michael Angelic Sole Shoes from a friend. His son gave them to him but they were to big for him. How lucky I am !!!! I have had nothing but complements from many people . My son-in-law would like a pair but the colors are reversed. They are Burgundy on the toe with black by the tongue and the heel. The new ones are reversed and are good looking also but was wondering if the older style would ever come back. Just a man that loves the look , comfort & versatility. Please let me know if this will ever happen in the new future. Dave

Gorgeous
My RED shoes. I have often gotten "cool shoes" comments from total strangers. These are big, heavy, chunky shoes that are yet very comfortable.
November 3, 2008
I Bought these shoes at the beginning of September/08 at the Granville St. location. At first in the store they seemed a bit tight and the size up from them were a tad loose. I opted for the smaller size but had great concern when leaving the store. I wore them home and they felt tight for the rest of the day but seemed to improve and relax a bit by early evening. The next day they were quite comfortable and by the end of day 2 they fit a lot better..... A week goes by and now they feel like slippers.... Wow, I knew that leather, especially quality leather like this, would stretch and start to fit nicely.
How these shoes catch people's eyes is what I like. I get a lot of comments on them and I love them a lot. Thanks for making a great pair of shoes!!!
