Description
First made famous by Lady Miss Kier who wore the iconic platforms on the cover of Deee-lite's debut album, World Clique, and then by Madonna who wore the sexy Louis IV heels in the film Truth or Dare, the Munsters have long been the symbol of the '90s house/club underground DJ scene. In 2018, to mark the 30th Anniversary of this scene-stealing design, John reissued his Original Munster in magnificent materials for a new generation to covet and enjoy. Now, back to cause all sorts of trouble, these iconic Originals are as ready as ever to bring down the house. Groove is in the heart.

Shoe Stories by John: The Original Munster
“When I first conceived of them, the image of these over the top platform heels played on in my mind so much that I made the first pair out of Plaster of Paris. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew that I had to get them out of my system. I remember the dripping glob getting all over the place in my basement and making a big mess that hardly looked like a shoe.”

Squee!
I’ve been waiting for these in the black suede and now I have them! Not sure I’ll wear them to the Madonna concert, but I’ll know she’s had a pair too! They are friggen sexy! You’d think the height would be uncomfortable but they aren’t. Most of my Vogs are 10s, so are these but I take a 9 in the Deees.

Party Starters
Bought the Gold and they are truly epic. Dying for the matching silver! I'm a US 7.5 ladies and went for a size 7 because the 8s were too big. Would love them to be a tad longer but they are just too fun to return, so I'll grow my bunions. There's some sparkle fallout in my bedroom and bathroom but that usually indicates a good time :) I can't wait to wear these out! They are super fun party starters!

Brings me much Joy!
I just love my fluevogs. ALL of them. I never thought I’d be into collecting shoes but I am now. As soon as I get a pair, I’m ready for another. Since April, my husband and I collected 10 pairs. These originals are my latest pair and I purchased them in the floral print. They are sooo snazzy and turn heads everywhere I go. Not to mention they’re actually comfortable. Fluevog has this stuff down to a science the way he takes stuff that appears to be difficult to wear and makes them fit like a gem. I’ve never felt sparklier :-) I purchased these in my usual 9 and they fit true to size. Not narrow, not wide; just perfect.

Works Of Art
Eyed these in pink online for the longest time and finally decided to take the plunge. The pink is a bit darker in person, but in a good way (appears more baby pink online). It's absolutely beautiful. Biggest worry was sizing since this is my first pair of Vogs EVER. I am always a size 7, ALWAYS, and found this to be true with the Munsters. I highly recommend buying the regular size you wear. The 4.5 in heel was intimidating, but find them easy to walk in considering (not a huge heel person either, but working on it!). These are a perfectly sculpted peice of art and look even better in person...worth every penny!

Dizzamnn!!!
I went in for the Cubist but I tried the pink ones on just for fun. OMG! So PRETTY! The crazy thing was while I was admiring how they look on me, some random guy walking by the store window, stopped, stared, opened the door and yelled to me “BUY THOSE SHOES!” A sign from the heavens should not be ignored, so of course I bought them.

SHOWSTOPPER
I HAD 2 have 'em! It was a must. Saw Lady Miss Kier wear these on MTV... I was in awe. I was in H.S. in Vegas. Zose, my best friend at the drove me 2 L.A. Pulled up 2 THE John Fluevog store annnnddd... the 1st & ONLY thing I saw in the gigantic, sparkling window was.... these, divinely sculpted masterpieces. Oooooooohhhhh, if those shoes could talk! Honey, worth EVERY penny! #ty #goodtimes

Fabulous!
I bought the glitter version, and I simply love them. My usual Vog size is a 7.5 (though I do usually need to stretch them in the toe box and add extra holes to the straps—8s are too big) and I bought these in an 8. They fit beautifully—as a narrower shoe, especially since I have wide feet, high instep, and thicker ankles. I don’t have to adjust these at all. That’s saying a lot! They just arrived, so I haven’t yet worn them out, but so far they are comfortable, and look great on. What more could I ask for?

different fit than most.
I rarely write reviews but I wanted to say that these fit a full size large in the glitter at least! I normally wear a 9 and had to go all the way down to 8. The level of awesome is epic!
