Petrea from our Amsterdam store says:
The Grand Nationals have an average width but are short in the toe. Go up a half or a full size. If you feel like you're sliding forward and hitting the end, use an insole or a halter pad to keep your foot in place.

My first, but certainly not my last
I got these in the blue/green in a size 10 (my regular size is a 9). They are the coolest looking shoes I've ever owned, and I quickly ordered 2 more pairs from the site (missed the sale by a smidge, but oh well... sigh). I will say the fit is a bit tight, but since the laces are functional, it shouldn't take long to break them in. I do have fairly slim feet and calves, also, so I was a bit surprised by the fit. I think I need to figure out what my "Fluevog size" is before I place my third order. Unfortunately, there aren't any Fluevog stores in my area, but the next time I visit one of my friends (who loves this company and sacrilegiously never told me about it), I'm going to get fitted properly so I don't have to make anymore guesses and I'll have more confidence in shopping Fluevog online. This is my first pair of Fluevogs, and holy cow, they are made so well. The colors are so bright and saturated, and although I've only worn them out once, I gave all those little Fluevog cards away.
I'm happy I happened to have them on me! Fluevog has a lot of fans in South Florida, so I'm hoping they'll put a store here to where we can all flock like migrating birds. I'm so in love with this style. You also can't commit any crimes because your footprints would give you away in a heartbeat, so this shoe is doing a public service. I'm thinking about getting the black since I love the style so much. I was definitely the princess at the party wearing these incredible boots. Thank goodness for the fit expert and the reviews or else I would have been in a lot of emotional pain if I had gotten my normal size 9. I don't care if they run small though. These shoes are art.

Truly Grand
I have owned many boots, these are my favorite of all time!!! I sized up to an 11 I normally were a 10 1/2 in most Fluevogs! They are perfect and really much more comfortable than expected. I think I will add a insert for the ball of my foot, just so I can wear them even longer without fatigue. The original Grand National is the first Fluevog I ever wanted but was too late to buy. So glad they were brought back so I could get my Fluenicorn! Thank you John Fluevog for all the flueshoejoy!

fun
Fun colorful boots. Yes they run a tad bit small, but the clues to upsize worked well.

Loved to love them, but alas
I loved them. I really wanted them to work. They fit great in the foot sizing up 1 size....but for those with wide calves, unfortunately they won't work without alteration unless you want the lacing to be half your leg. Small consolation, I was able to get two other awesome pairs of vogs in exchange at least

Beautiful and yes runs small
I bought my pair of black size sevens in Gastown before they even showed up on the website. They are gorgeous and *reasonably* comfortable for a heel so high (I don't wear heels daily and I can manage these). Now I am being tempted by all the new pretty colourful ones! Help!
As everyone else says, definitely size up (I usually wear a 6 or 6.5). The heel is so high it also helps to put an insert in the toe area to push the foot back where it sits best without squished toes.

GLORIOUS BADASS BOOTS!!
These boots are just majestic, and worth every penny - even though, in These Times, I haven't yet had a chance to strut out and about with them on. I frequently wear heels, and these are among the most comfortable that I own. Though they're on a platform, they're stable.
I ordered my usual Vog size, as my feet/toes are short and stubby. The rounded toe is comfortable for my wide-ish foot, too. If your feet are like mine, your usual Vog size might work. Street size: 6-6.5 US; Vog size is usually a 7.
Unbelievably fortuitous for us that these beauties have come back from the Great Shoe Beyond. If you're waiting for a sign to splurge, this is it! You'll feel like such a badass.

justifiably a legend
My friends and I have all gone bananas over these, even the ones who weren't already familiar with them.
These are about as comfortable as heels this high can be, and they feel reassuringly solid to walk in. I second the recommendation to size up, though: I usually wear an 11 Fluevog, and a 12 in this model was just right for me. Props to the Seattle Fluevogist who told me that.

Sexxxxxxy!
These were my "I quit my job & I want those boots" boots. I am normally a ladies 7.5 but I took a 9 in these babies so trust your Fluevog sales associate and go bigger.
They are quite high and take some getting used to. I'm not sure if I'm pulling off the walk in them but zero Fs given cuz they are insanely bitchin'. And what a statement! I have them on display in my closet and smile at them everyday. Thank you for bringing them back!
