I got these for a birthday present and I'm ecstatic! I can't begin to describe the gorgeous detailing on these shoes! I normally wear a 7 or 7.5 in Fluevog, but went up to an 8. I probably could have gotten by with a 7.5, but the buckle allows me to tighten them up. I need a wide toe base for all my shoes and by sizing up these fit the bill. John Fluevog - you went above and beyond on these. Thanks to the Minneapolis store (I forgot who I talked to) for helping me with sizing. I will love these forever.

These are stunning, and very comfortable especially considering the height of the heel. I have an average foot shape and going up a half size was not quite enough to prevent toe rub on the outsides of the widest point of my foot. So I went up a full size for ease in the toe bridge; I just cinch the buckle a bit to make sure there's no slippage at the heel. The buckle is annoying to do up, as it seems to want to rotate in a way that brings the pin out of line with the strap holes. But once done it looks and feels fabulous. This style has a lot going on, but the various colours and finishes come together to make a truly remarkable shoe.
