The Pilgrim has great length but can be a little narrow for those with wider feet.

Description
A super pointy-toed, buckled t-strap loafer with stitched wrinkled leather on the instep, The Pilgrim shoe was one of John's first women's designs which took its initial inspiration from the Victorian era. The updated design includes a rubber sole plate, a 1.25" leather wrapped heel and features specialty leathers that will age gracefully. The Pilgrim is an ode to John's humble beginnings, his values which he still aspires to, and a great testament to the genius we celebrate. Truth and Integrity Since 1970

Rivet fell off
FINALLY!
I have one issue, though. The shoes come with the buckle done up at the middlemost point. As a result, if you change the strap setting, you are left with a permanent crease embossed in the leather from the buckle.
For almost $400, I would have expected Fouevog to consider this and to store unbought shoes with the buckles undone so as to prevent this.
It’s a bummer, because the shoes are perfect, and I feel like I paid top dollar only to be punished with a defect due to needing a wider buckle setting.

My first pair of Truths
CAN'T RESIST THE RED
I'm a 6.5 in most Vogs, but I size up to a 7 in Truths.
Shoutout to Evangeline at the Granville store, who's helped me twice this month and enabled the purchase of four new pairs. She was awesome!

#3 and counting
I was concerned about the comments I'd read about the wrapped heel chipping, so I just won't drive in them (thanks to some great advice from Idaho!).
I would love these in a brown as well . . . on my wish list for sure!
My First Pair......
I love them
thank you sample sale!
My only complaint is that the "wooden" heels chip very easily (as in after less than a handful of wears), revealing white plastic underneath. Thankfully Preet from the Granville store was able to mail over some replacement heels to NB. Now that's customer service!
#55 and Counting
The beginning of my Fluevog Addiction
I get so many compliments and the colour RED is just camp as a Christmas Tree ,->
They are comfortable but I can only wear them for a few hours because having small super wide feet means I had to go 1 1/2 sizes larger than usual and the cut outs start digging into my feet after a while |-)
Lilac loveliness...
Gawk!!
All this and they're comfy too. :-B
Lost my fluginity twice today
Tanya was super patient finally finding the best,most comfortable shoes for my feet. Was worth the time she took as I regret it not a bit, despite the hefty price. My feet will thank me every day I wear them :-D :-D
Thanks Tanya!!
Love the shoes but not the quaity...
Unfortunately, I've had them a little over a year and they have had a lot of problems - the heel quickly scraped up, and then the sole peeled off. I took them into the store on Haight and they had the heel fixed, and the sole re-glued. The sole peeled off again almost immediately, so I took it to a different, well-reviewed local shoe repair place. The sole came off again within weeks, and I noticed the bottom of the sole has a huge crack under the sole. Not quite the quality I expect from Fluevog. All of my other pairs have lasted extremely well.
You may want to sleep in them
great
Love the shoes... heels not so much
Burgundy not Red
I have wide feet and was skeptical that these would fit width ways even after ordering a half size up. I was surprised when I put them on that they had alot of give. They are a bit snug on my right foot, but that will go away once they break in. Beautiful shoes <3
COMFY
Love these!
Hot AND Sweet
LOVE these shoes
Now that a red pair has been issued I think I'm going to have to acquire them as well, can't get enough of the Truth: Pilgrims. :-B
Love 'em
Fit well - I normally wear a 6 or 6.5 and got these in a 6.5. I did blister a bit on the sides the first couple of wears but then they stretched out a bit and haven't had any more issues.
Buying Online..
As for these shoes specifically? To get your hands on them you will have to tear them off my cold dead feet. They are shockingly comfortable.. full support if you're on your feet all day. And as Pete said "just a bit Witchy." He described the sole as non-skid, and he was right. I feel solid and stable in these shoes, look like a million bucks, and can say with authority to Mr. Gunn.. fashion does not have to be uncomfortable. Mr. Gunn is obviously walking around in the wrong shoes.
Love These!
I should have paid more attention but I won’t make the mistake twice (with your company). There it is, plain as day, leather wrapped (plastic) heel. Thankfully, Victorians didn't use plastic for their shoes.
wicked shoes
I call these my Wicked shoes because I bought them in San Francisco on a trip to see Wicked. In fact, I walked about a mile in them on my way to the show, and another mile on the way back.
They are comfortable and beautiful. I like the way the heels sound on the floor. And I have noticed that the more I wear them, the more I love these shoes. They get softer and the creases become more purple.
If you are thinking about buying these shoes, you should. I saved up for these for my birthday, and they are worth every penny.
Buying pair two!
love Fluevogs
Beautiful Shoe
The shoes did require some breaking in. I wore them with moleskin to protect myself from blisters a few times and now they're totally comfortable and perfect. It's just getting chilly now and I'm looking forward to wearing these with tights.
My third pair of 'Vogs. I love his work so much.
Funky & fun, but...
`:O (-(
fabulous shoes
Fabulous shoes with one small warning
Thank John for the reissue of these
Timeless
And now it's a couple of decades later and I don't have to shop at discount shoe stores anymore. So when these appeared, there was no question that I would have to have them, to reflect the style I found all those years ago in a pair of, shall we say, tribute shoes. And I love them even more than I loved that discount pair. They're almost ridiculously comfortable, and I wear them with everything from jeans to pirate outfits to Victorian skirts--they match it all. And I'm really glad I found my way to them.
OMG!!
The shoe with everything!
pelgrim problem
Amazing is too small a word.
Total room-looker
They have a soft, super-flexible sole that makes them feel like slippers. So they're comfortable as well as beautiful.
I did find that I was a little more comfortable going a half size up from my normal size 6, although I wouldn't say that it was strictly necessary.
Hot Damn
Slender ankles deserve these shoes
I put 'em on and POOF! Ordinary Citizen became Amazing Pirate.
I was concerned that the shoes might not be friends with my favorite peddle pushers and short pants, but I was wrong; they look great. NOTES of interest: ~~~If you have slender ankles, these shoes are truly smokin' ~~~ Got a wee tiny blister on my, er, pointer toe (the one beside the big one), but am assuming this is just a wearing in issue ~~~ The white wax that FV applies to these create a fabulous "I've had these since I was pirate" kind of finish, wearing through gradually to show darker areas. ~~~ The wood heels ensure that you knock like you're walkin' the plank when you walk, so don't get 'em if you like to sneak up on folk.
"Adore" doesn't cover it
Fab-u-lous!
Birthday Fluevogs!
Happy Birthday!
Love, love, love these shoes...
