Slacker Nap

Feminine yet little bit crazy Chelsea boot!

Sandra - Saskatoon

The Blundstone fad made me search forever for a Chelsea Boot but they all looked huge and manly on my feet.
I bought these by phone based on photos on website and help from Signe in Edmonton store.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Just Gorgeous!
Thank goodness I listened to her experience with this boot or I would have sent them back stating too small/tight. Putting them on is like suction cups first few times, getting off can be even sillier (took two of us but we had a good laugh). Suction cups!! But once my feet are fully in they are Perfect and feel ahh-mazing. I can now put on and off easier and by myself. The leather is beautiful, you can tell high quality, well made. Once on they look like a sock on my feet.
Plenty of toe room. Room for heavier socks after wearing few times, or barefoot in summer with shorts or mid thigh dress. Looks great with jeans, leggings, shorts. Hey, how about a trench coat!
Street size 7, I bought 7.5 in black XO pattern. They are a very 3D/HD look because of the inner foot pattern cutout. Really emphasizes the beautiful look of a woman’s foot in a sexy way. Hugs perfectly in all the right places. Nice firm ankle and arch support, sturdy crepe sole grips the snow like a trooper. I had them coated with dubbin to weatherproof before shipping. My advice? Order through the store to discuss sizing. Use a shoehorn. And pull on the leather (not the pull strap) first few times. Wouldn’t want to rip it.
Excellent boot. Thanks John Fluevog!

Cutest boots but poor design

Lynda Swafford - Toronto

I should not have bought these boots online since I live so close to a Fluevog store. I ordered the xo style in size 8 (same size as other Fluevogs I have) but they are very hard to get on and off. I'm not even sure if I had sized up if they would have been any better since the length seems right. Once I got them on they fit snug but I think I can make them work. I didn't want to return them because they are sooooo cute, so I had them stretched. They are better but I was told to bring them back if I wanted them stretched more, so I did and they are in the store being stretched now. I don't think the xo style has as much give as the other colours. I was also told people with a high instep (which I have) have more trouble with this boot. Well, they are mine now so I hope they will eventually be comfortable and not be a struggle to get them on.

Love is an understatement

Jenna Royce - Vancouver

By far my most favourite boots I’ve ever owned. I wear these boots at least 5 times a week while on my feet all day. Aside from the first few wears (of breaking them in) they have been extremely comfortable! I also love that in comparison to similar slide on boots, their slender fit is much for feminine!

Jill - Olympia

Keely at the Faneuil Hall Boston store is amazing! She was exactly right about the size, the fit, and which color Fluevog socks to get with the boots.
The orange color is delightful and I get compliments on them every time we leave the house. They are becoming my daily go-to boots for this time of year because they’re the perfect antidote to gray skies and wet sidewalks.

Thanks, Keely!

Love them, but super-bummed right now

Karen Young - Scarborough

I forgot that the elastic damages my socks, and I just wrecked my "My Dog Is Cool As F*ck" socks. Waaaaaaah. Bummer. I really love them but I hate that they keep wrecking my socks.

Lovely boots but...

Rachel - Weymouth, UK

I bought these boots at the beginning of last year and wore them two or three times a week for four months. I loved them: perfect colour, perfect height, so comfy. Then I hurt my foot and didn’t put them on again until Saturday. As I was putting them on, I noticed that the heel was separating from the sole and, when I investigated more closely, the heel came off in my hand. This was hugely disappointing. It’s as if the glue holding the heel on to the sole has dried out or just not bonded properly. I know I am way out of the warranty period but I only actually wore the boots over a four-month period and in any case this is the kind of thing that really shouldn’t happen.

And now I am eyeing my Procrastinators and worrying that the same fate might befall them...

Best Boots on the Planet

Sherri-Lynn Teri - Elora, ON

I bought these boots in Victoria, BC in both the black and the blue as I could not choose between them. They are amazing and unreal for comfort. The ankle area is snug but comfortable and gives a beautiful feminine line to the boot, which I prefer. I wear them both none stop and find the quality to be exceptional with no issues at all. My only complaint is that my daughter keeps “borrowing” them.

A hit

Anne - Washington

I bought these on sale in a whim and was unprepared for just how great they are. The salmon is slightly more muted than I’d expected from the picture, in a good way - they have an elegant wow factor. They are tighter than I expected though they’re breaking in well - i usually wear 11 in Fluevogs but got 11 1/2 and they’re very snug. Having read the other reviews, I’ll be on the alert for heel issues, but haven’t had them long enough to see how they hold up. However, they’re among my favorite shoes right now - highly recommended.

Nap boot heel problem

Sandy Ring - Alpharetta

I bought these pretty boots over a year ago for my daughter in college. She has loved these boots until she was out last week end and her boot heel literally fell off!
I ordered her a new pair with a small discount from fluevog. Perhaps a new combined heel and sole design would last longer? The heel seems attached to the sole in a separate piece? I have not been the first one to comment on this same issue. I’d still love a full credit as I feel this is a design problem and boots should last longer than a year
Thank you

Falling Apart

Paige

These boots have given me problems since I purchased them, they're just not well made enough for the price. (I bought them when they were not on sale) The leather wasn't properly glued to the sole so I took them to the store to have them sent to the cobbler. Now a few months later, the heel has literally fallen off. I'm pretty sure I'm still within the warranty, but shoes shouldn't be FALLING APART. I've had shoes from Forever 21 that were better constructed.

IN LOVE

Llana - Cranbrook

I am so happy with these, I wanted the brown ones but they did not have my size! I was devastated until I got a notification that my size was available in brown and on sale! UMMM yes please I ordered immediately, when I got them they were even better than expected so comfy perfect for long work days in and out of office. need a bit of working in as any high quality leather shoe should. they are seriously awesome!!! Seriously in love

Cape not included

Elise

I hemmed & hawed and finally pulled the trigger during black friday sale, and I think I've worn them daily since they arrived. They look amazing, and the sole and just-right overall lift makes me feel like I could leap buildings in a single bound! My only gripe is with the name - these boots make me feel the opposite of a slacker, and the last thing I want to do when I'm wearing them is to nap. They are like vitamin C for my feet!

(Boring details: the 7 fits my 6.5/7 foot snugly but comfortably. I have read other reviews that complained about lack of arch support but I have a pretty high arch and they feel fine to me. No break in required.)

Best Heel

sian - Halifax

Just now opened the box my new Nap's came in. I'm walking around my place thinking this" heel" is the very best thing ever!! Crepe sole and a wearable heel. Yes.
I got the brown. The colour is sort of perfect; dark and looks great with black. I often wear a size 7 but lately I go for a 7.5 , I did here, and that was a good decision. I have a fairly narrow foot with a high instep and I'm finding the boot tight at the instep but fitting nicely through the heel and length. Hoping the leather will soften to allow the top of my foot to feel more comfy. Thanks Fluevog Elves!!

Love at first sight!

Randi - Baltimore, MD

I have been eyeing these babies for a year and finally pulled the trigger and ordered them in black. What was I waiting for? They are beautiful and incredibly comfortable. I ordered from the Portland Store and they helped me decide between these and a few other pairs I was considering. The Kitty in the City packed my box and it arrived safe and sound and full of wonderful goodies including a personal note. I love the whole John Fluevog experience!

Awesome boots!

Teresa - Eagle Point

Loved these and would have been perfect if they went up to a size 12. These fit perfect without socks!!! However no room for movement.

Gorgeous !!!! BUT

Yehudit - Foster City

Ok, these are gorgeous. The leather is soft, the color is rich and the look is just fabulous. The only thing these boots lack are arch support, and I mean have none. It is not a difficult to solve problem, but it is a shame that they have one - nevertheless I just LOVE them.

I've always loved naps - now I love Naps!

Karen - Boston

Got these in red - and they're a true gorgeous red!
So comfy once they're on - a little tough to get my feet in the first time (the ankle is very narrow) but it's getting easier.

Now I need the yellow!

Best purchase

Liv - DC

I was browsing one day and walked into the DC store, it was busy in there and I saw a lady try these on, she was wearing a black dress and black tights and they looked so good on her I even chimed in her conversation with her husband to tell her she should definitely get them.
Anyway... I kept going with my day and ever since these boots have been burning my brain. I finally decided I was going to just live a little and go purchase them ( I was struggling with the price to be honest ) well, they didn’t have my size in black so I tried on the blue ones to see how they fit. Long story short, I called Carrie the lady who helped me and decided I NEEDED them (haha) she was very friendly and helpful and ordered them for me, they came today from the New Orleans store and it was like opening a gift because it had a note from the store, and some candy in the shoe box along w my shoes.

I just thought the extra step taken added to my excitement to finally get them ! Nowadays for a business to take care of their customers in subtle ways means a lot.

I say that to say this, yes they are a little expensive but the design and quality coupled with the friendly and sweet extra steps from the vog associates made it feel as though these are worth every penny. Not to mention they are the super cute and vesatile!!!!

I suggested them made in red too (please)

Happy to Nap

Stacy - Kalamazoo

I tried on lots of spring shoes without intending to buy right now, but I couldn't stop thinking about these. I actually went back to the store to get them. They are effortless to put on and wear - great for days when you don't want to fuss. And winters in Michigan cry out for a cute, practical bootie with a little height to slosh through the slush. They look good with jeans, but I love them with leggings. The blue is stunning! I did go up 1/2 size from 10.5 to 11 for a little extra room - the smaller size felt just a little snug with a sock. If these go on sale in black, I might grab them too! I can't wait to see what else comes out in this family.

Elaine Bertrand

I waer 11 or 42 but Nap 11 are too small... please, I would love to have a real 11! I love those boots.

Striking vibrant blue booties!!!!!!!!

Angi

These lovely boots are so comfie, look so hot & go with everything. I was so surprised when I put them on & found them to be amazingly comfortable. And toasty warm too. Good for cold Vancouver weather we have had recently. I wore them out of the store & have worn them all day today & I may wear them for the next few days!!! They go perfectly with all my jeans. I have quite a few Fluevogs & these are now in my top 5 favorite Fluevogs list.

Groovy Blue

Susan - Austin

I love these boots, so much! I usually wear size 12 in Fluevogs. Based on other reviews I went ahead and ordered 11s since that is as big as they come. They do fit like a glove and are wide enough and long enough for my foot. With a pair of nylon knee-hi’s I’m good to go. My pair are blue. They go with all my jeans. The crepe sole really protects against cold ground below. I love them so much I ordered the blue and black for my twin daughters’ upcoming birthday. Thank you for a cute and classy boot!

Kitty

Although these are super cute and comfortable, I've only worn them a few times and the heel is already falling off. I expect more from Fluevogs. Having to pay for repairs after owning them less than a month is aggravating. Grrrr

Amazing boots!!!

Sarah - king twp

These boots seem narrow when trying to put them on, but once you slide past the narrow ankle, these babies fit like a glove, true to size, and perfect for even a wider foot like mine. I am a true size 7 and the 7 fit perfectly. I got the black, and the leather is incredibly soft, no break in period required for these beauties. They go with everything, and will become my new everyday kickers, for running errands, going for walks, you name it!!
