Long timer
I got my first pair of Fluevogs in September of 1984, at the fall sale in downtown Vancouver. I was introduced by a coworker. I picked up a pair of tan Gibson swirls and LIVED THEM. I literally wore them every day. They were so easy to style up or down and went with everything. I wore them out in 4 years, so had to go back for a replacement pair, which I did. (Tan again.. I am pretty conservative!) I wore those ones out too, so back I went again. Also, my tan Gibson swirls were no longer available. My only option were there red and black ones. And here were are, some 20 or so years later and I still have those red shoes. The sticking disintegrated where the toe meets the body , so I need to get to a shoemaker to have that repaired. The soles are a little worn , but I still LOVE THEM. I would love another tan pair.. keep hoping they may come back, but will continue to wear my red ones until they can’t be worn any longer. Thanks for making such great shoes.. and please bring back the tan Gibson Swirl! 👋🏻👋🏻👞

Fun and Fun-ctional.
Gosh, I love these. The colors are even more cheerful in person and they are the perfect shoes for spring. They look and feel great and are really a steal at this price. ❤️

These shoes are so hard to be grumpy or sad in. They are brilliant and beautiful and full of joy. They are also incredibly comfortable, for the most part. On their maiden voyage, I struggled with the edge of the back heel slipping and rubbing against my calcaneus. I bought the shoe a half a size up from my regular size 10W Big, as the kind Fluevogist Petra measured the insole, only to find I would have cramped toes in a 10W. While the length is amazing, my narrow heel slips and slides and rubs against the back of the shoe-nice and stiff that heel leather is, durable. So I put so heel protectors back there, and now the shoe feels amazing. The overall width is wider than I am used to, but narrow my feet are, rather abnormally so. The insole is incredibly comfy like a trainer/sneaker... But much more fun and elegant. I sprayed them with protectant and they have been keeping up rather nicely.

Even cuter in person!
I kept looking at these. I finally broke down and ordered them two days before the sale! :( I requested the Washington store honor the 15% off but they wouldn’t. Oh well...the shoes are even cuter in person and so very comfortable.

I’d been waiting for months for these to arrive in Orchid but they are worth the wait. Gorgeous suede upper and day-glo soles and laces, as comfortable as trainers but a whole lot smarter. I’m an EU 39 and the 8.5 fit perfectly. Now I just need to resist the orange. And the beige...

Everyday splendor
I wear these everywhere.
They aren't as vibrant as I'd imagined, but comfortable after I wore them many times. They go with everything, I can be super casual and know that my feet are low key fashionistas.
