Patrick from our Vancouver (Kitsilano) store says:
Size down a full size in this style. For example, if you are a 7 go with a 6. Half sizes should also size down. Unless you have a high instep or wide foot then stick with your original size. Very roomy—great for wide feet.

Amazing team and wonderful shoes
I ordered the Sarika online and the shoes were shipped from the Boston store. BIG shot out to Justin from the Boston store! Something happened to my local postal office that it said the shipment arrived but it didn’t. I was disappointed and thought that the shipment was lost. Justin advised me to wait for another day or two as it’s not uncommon that shipment shows up later even though the tracking system indicated it was delivered. He also assured me that he would help me file a claim and send me another pair of shoes if the shipment doesn’t come after the wait period. It was such a comforting message that I am not facing the situation alone. Well, lo and behold, the mailman brought me the Fluevog box today. I tried on the Peacemaker Sarika (blue) at size 5 and they glove my feet perfectly. I usually wear size 6 and luckily I listened to the sizing recommendation on the shoes. I’m very happy with the shoes. The color is amazing. Thank you for the wonderful shoes!!

Very happy with my new shoes!
Bought online and was worried they wouldn't fit. I'm always a 10-10.5 in vogs. Sized down to a 9 and they fit my medium-width feet perfectly, and I may even have enough room for a pair of socks to wear in the fall. However, I would think twice about buying them if you have narrow feet.

Perfect for those with wide feet
I just purchased these and took the risk to buy online without having tried them on. Usually I cannot wear Fluevogs as much as I love them because they are too narrow. I have extremely wide feet and often resort to buying mens shoes. These are from the Peacemaker range and they are excellent. Took a couple days to break in and already fitting like a glove. Zero regrets spending the money on these as they are a great model to wear year round. When they first came out there was an amazing blue. I just wish I had bought then to be able to get them in that colour.

Thrilled!
I am so happy I own these! They became my go-to shoes for the summer. Half sandal-half shoes, my only regret is that I didn't buy the yellow against my BF's advice!
I have wide feet and, to me, they fit true to size. Love my blue Sarika!

Even better than I expected!
I ordered these online without having tried them on first. My street size is 5.5; most of my Vogs are 6, with the occasional 5.5. Since there are no half sizes I went down to a rare 5. They fit perfectly, and are so comfortable right out of the box. They work well with my medium-wide, short feet. Breezy sandal but protects the toes.I got them in purple, only because they were the only ones available in my size. I was initially reluctant since I don’t have much purple in my wardrobe, and I’m not a fam of mauve, but in person they’re a lovely colour that goes well with burgundies and could almost be treated as a neutral. I’d get these in every colour if I could! Please make more small sizes!

I really like these sandals! I usually wear a 12 in open toed shoes but need a 13 for closed toed shoes. I wear an insole due to fallen arches and these are great for wearing with an insole! I ordered the 13 in both the purple and yellow and they had room for my toes with the insoles in place. My narrow foot is not too wobbly. But lately I don’t really like tight shoes so these are perfect and cute too!!

Love these shoes!
I have two pairs…the black and the blue. They are so beautiful. I wear a size 8 and the width is perfect for moi since I have bunions. 💕💕💕

Very disappointed….I usually wear a 9.5, purchased the 9 and my toes bumped the front in a way that I knew couldn’t be broken in. Hesitated to exchange for a size 10 (since it cost $25 to ship back), did it anyway and they are so large there is a full inch of room beyond my toes. I loved the shoes and really wished they would have worked….especially since it will officially cost $50 to try on two pairs of shoes

Beautiful and comfy! But I think I need it in a nonexistent half size :(
I ordered these in black online; I usually wear around an 8 (depending on style), so I went with a size 7 in these. My left foot is ever so slightly bigger than my right; these fit my right foot perfectly (and so comfy!), but my left toe hits the front just enough that I don't think I can comfortably wear them. I think an 8 will be too big, given some other reviews and the fact that the 7 almost fits me, but I'll try them on next time I'm in a store. I think a 7.5 would be perfect for me! But alas...

perfect
I am typically an 8.5, bought the size 8, and they are very comfortable. My feet are on the wide side, and my ankles are narrow.— so this style is ideal. My only dilemma is whether to purchase a second color….and I am leaning toward yes.

Don't hesitate
I'm in love with these! I hesitated to order because of the notes about width. I consistently wear an 8.5, B width. I thought they would flop around on my foot. But wow! They are perfect for me in size 8. AND, they look amazing too!

Sweet Heavenly Love
It's like Fluevog & Birkenstock had a baby. I used to wear a lot of Fluevogs (way back in the 90s) but over the years, sizing seemed to get narrower and less roomy in the toes. Much sadness on my part. These delights are roomy, comfy and the fit reminds me of the Good Old Days. Super excited and eyeing a pair in blue <3 Also, props to Boston & Portland for the wizardry that allowed my shoes to arrive in ONE day. A note on sizing: I typically wear an 8 1/2 wide. If vogs fit me these days, they are always a 9 (but generally they are too narrow/tight). I purchased an 8 in these and they are perfect, like a glove.

TRUE SIZE 12
These shoes are the Fluevogian take on Birkies and I am 100% here for it. LOVE. But I am really here to give fit advice for those who wear a true size 12. My advice is: these fit like a true size 12! They are maybe a teeny bit long/wider than your typical brand, but basically these fit like a Birkenstock size 43. So if this is you (like me), then I advise you NOT size down. If you have narrow feet, these are not going to work for you. These are on the average to wide spectrum.

Comfy and cute!
Wanted a new summer sandal that wasn't my usual black. Got these in mustard color in my usual size of 10 (I also have wide feet and a high arch). They fit very comfortably. I also bought an electric scooter this summer and these are the perfect shoes to wear while scootering. The closed toe keeps your toes safe and the rubber sole grips my scooter deck well. Thanks, Fluevog!

Walking on sunshine
Love these beauties and agree with previous posts. Super comfy BUT size down. I am NEVER below a size 9 in fluevogs but when these arrived in 9, I was dismayed that they were, in fact, too big. But the wonderful staff found me an 8, the exchange process super easy. And now I am skipping along in my 8’s. Definitely size down. My foot is wide and still needed the 8. Love these and delighted to see they just came out in black!!

The fabulous Becky in the DC store helped me find the right size (a 9 instead of my usual 10) and I love, love these shoes. Got them in purple and they go with everything and I’m wearing them everywhere. Super comfortable!

Love
Love these shoes.
I ordered these a few days ago after eyeing them up for a while (thank you ICBC rebate cheque) and they arrived speedily today.
Regarding size, I am often a 9 (docs), sometimes a 9 1/2 and even a 10 in some running shoes. My feet are quite narrow with a high arch. I went with a 9 and they are perfect. The adjustable strap provides alot of forgiveness for narrow feet.
They are just so functional, comfortable and beautiful.
They are a HappySunnySmiley shoe trifecta.

perfection!
Seems like Fluevog sandals are always the coveted summer item. Ventured to Gastown to try these in person as I was worried I would need to size down from my usual 7 based on other reviews. Found the 6 to be short for me so ordered the 7 and they are perfection. If you have wider feet, you may be good sticking with your normal size. Can’t say enough about how comfortable they are and the yellow is perfect with denim. Busy knitting a summer sweater to coordinate. Hope next summer these come in a rainbow of colours!

‘Voging Fabulous!
Bought these in the purple; went down one size as recommended. I am undone. Love these Flue-shoes!! Wicked comfortable and they look smashing. No squished toes, and the cork footbed is divine. Wearing them with EVERYTHING!! 💜

Wonderful --- but runs large
These are lovely! Echoing many of the comments here, they run large. I normally wear a 12-12.5, but 11 for these fit with plenty of room.

Try on for sizing
Got this in mustard and love it! So great for a low heel option. I was really worried about the size. I'm normally a size 6 with normal width and based on the discribed fit it seemed like it would be too big. But when I tried it on I was so happy that it fit pretty good! Definitely have my eye now on the purple!

I couldn't be happier with these!
After a couple of false starts with ordering boots online, and realizing that I can no longer wear anything with higher heels (enjoy those crazy styles while you can!), Corrianna from the Toronto Distillery location suggested I give these sandals a try. I normally wear a ladies' size 10.5-11, so I went with the size suggestions here and ordered a 10 in purple. They fit perfectly, are soooo comfortable, and I love the colour. My thanks to Corrianna for her friendly assistance at every step, and to Fluevog for their efficient online system and generous returns policy.

Very comfortable once I got sizing sorted out
I usually wear an 8.5 so sized down to a 7 which was a tad bit too small. Returned for an 8 (which was a very easy and quick process) and those were a much better fit for me. I have a narrow foot, so they are slightly loose on me, but that is not really an issue since I can tighten the strap as needed. These shoes are very comfortable and I look forward to wearing them this spring and summer!

Lovely shoes - be careful with sizing and consult staff
Fluevogologists assisted me in sizing, which I greatly appreciated. As I am a size 9 normally but with wide feet and longer second toes, they agreed and recommended staying with the size 9. The shoe is a tad bit loose but the strap overcomes that challenge. I personally love the mustard color and felt so fancy wearing them to a business casual restaurant for lunch. And, as sometimes can be the case (but who cares?), the shoe did not overwhelm the outfit. Fluevogs are a statement and one that I'm ready to make at any time.

Agree that you must size down!
Once you have the correct size you will be happy with this style! I bought the purple but ended up with the mustard and couldn’t be happier. They are Birkenstocks the Fluevog way!
March 10, 2021
Size down!
Super comfy, but size a whole size down. Love that I found a low heel that I can wear teaching all day...and they are purple! Love!
March 9, 2021
So, so comfy!
I bought both colours. I couldn’t choose and I’m so glad I did. I got the 9 and I’m a 10-10.5 and they fit like they were made for me.
I have chubby, widish feet and they are perfect.
I love them!

Make peace with your feet! Give them comfy, stylish shoes!
Do you envy people who rave about their comfortable shoes, but maybe find the aesthetics not quite right? Try again and again to buy “sensible” shoes and then find yourself also buying the super cute ones – maybe sometimes even if the sizing is a little off because you need them and they don’t have (or if you’re a 12 like me, they don’t make them in) your size? Well, here you go!
These are absolutely dreamy. The leather is lush, they’re well made, the colors are brilliant, and they are supremely comfortable for my wide, high instep, long-toed, size 12s from the jump. I expect these will be worn quite a lot for years.
I got the purple. The mustard is not for me, but we’ll see. I’d love a forest green in these. And cobalt. Or a (boring but versatile) black.
I thought about buying a back up pair, but 12s seem so rare, and I wanted to ensure other folks with big feet got a chance.
Do give them a try if this sounds like you. They’re even cuter in person, and particularly if you have regular or wide feet, or you like some breathing room in the toebox width of your shoes, your feet will be very grateful.
