Slacker Tardy

Paton Black Tardy

Marilyn - Toronto

I bought my daughter (17 yrs) her first pair of Fluevog boots. She loved them for about a month until the paton started peeling. Brought them back to exchange for another pair. Again the paton cracked worse this time. Unfortunately we tried to exchange for non-paton leather Tardy but have now sold out and this was the only style that she fell in love with and can't let go to get another style. John, please make more Tardy's (sans paton).

Love to be Tardy!

I have had my nubuck and suede black Tardys for a year and a half now and I love them as much now as I did when I first bought them. They have worn really well and I wear them often. Of course the shiny flat shoelaces broke early on, but I've replaced them with a sturdier round pair (in dark grey) and they work super well and look awesome.

I love that these boots have a Derby swirl and a heel! I had a pair of angels back in the 90's (brown) that were like that and after pregnancy, they were too tight. So I'm thrilled to have something that reminds me of them and that are even more comfortable!

True to my Fluevog size (which ranges from a 9.5 to an 11, depending on shoe family).

Love Tardy but these boots are not hardy

ZARA WILLIAMS - EDMONTON

I love these boots, the shiny red color, the shape and the fit are so fine but they are not destined to last. Over the past 20 year I've owned 17 pairs of Vogs and I still own all but one pair of boots that I loved to death over a period of many years. But these new boots are the least hardy pair of Vogs I've own. The shoe lace snapped in the first month of wear (a common complaint). I was warned that they would crack (they have) and that I should not get them wet. If you do have the misfortune of getting them wet be prepared for permanent water marks between the clear layer and the color layer. The sole of the boot is made from a softer material with an interesting texture but somehow I managed to gouge a sizable hole midway up the heel. Be warned that these boots need to be worn softly and in only in the best weather conditions.

Love!

I love my blue Tardys! I wear them once or twice a week. The laces haven’t snapped on me yet and I love how easy they are to adjust to make the fit even more comfortable. A small design flaw using patent for an ankle boot as it cracked by the second wear but it has not diminished the character or the style of the boot. 3 months on I’m still in love!

Tie Your Laces

Margo - Portland

I have this style in red and blue and love these. I also have quite a collection of Fluevogs. These run a bit snug but are comparable to all my other sizes. Problem- these laces should have either been tested or changed. Both pairs of boots, the laces broke by the 7-8 time wearing them and I was extra careful with my second pair knowing how quickly the first pair snapped. The sales clerk even told me when I bought the first pair that the laces were terrible and will most likely break. There is no available replacement nor do they come with a second set of laces. This is clearly a flaw and needs to be replaced...... I tell people all the time that they will never regret buying Fluevogs, so, cheap laces are a disappointment.

I have to say these are my favourite winter Fluvogs! Most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned. I’m able to walk on the snow and ice with confidence. Feels like these Vogs give me winter super powers! Thank you!

Be Tardy but size up!

Deanne Levy - Washington DC

I have to agree with fit experts, I should have known that even thought they felt roomy in the store, I need a half size up in nearly all my VOGs. I’m a 9.5 in nearly every brand except Fluevogs, here I need 10. Wore them for 1st time and feels too short. But love the color. They’ll be ok for a day without too much walking, but that’s kinda the point in boots like this. I wish I had been advised better in the store.

Hi Deanne! Sorry to hear that your Tardy boots feel a little short. Do know that you can contact the store that processed your order to exchange for another size within 14 days of your purchase!

Helen C Underwood - STRATHROY

I was very excited about these boots and debated between the black and red boots as they are both gorgeous. They seem to be a great marriage of form and function. The quality seems to be good and they are quite comfortable. My one complaint is that the laces are fragile and snapped in three places the first day that I wore them. I will buy replacement laces but at this price point I was a little disappointed. Hopefully the construction of the boot holds up more favourably.

Heather - Nashville

I wear these on days when I need to kick some ass.
I wear these on days when I'm feeling blue.
I wear these on days when I know I'm gonna be on my feet all day.

I can't say enough about these beautiful, comfy, shiny shiny shoes. The angels wanna wear 'em but sorry....they're all mine. TTS

My sister bought the red patent leather ones from the Ottawa store.
They are exquisite to look at and a dream to wear. Super comfy, true to size fit.
They are a show stopper in the streets.
Her first pair of Vogs and she loves them.
