Fits Small Fits LargeNarrow Wide
Denny from our San Francisco (Haight) store says:
The Slacker family is generally a 1/2 size small on most people. Since it is a slightly more narrow last, go up a 1/2 size for more wiggle room.

Wow boots
I bought these boots last year and I love them. They feel great on my feet and they go with everything. I bought the purple ones and I think I should own them in blue as well. I'll have to save up for them. They are soft and I love the zipper for easy on/off. I recommend them.

Love live live
Have these is every colour! Narrow fit i initially, but I bought my TTS (wide ball of foot) and the leather stretched to fit me perfectly. Zipper is great for quick slip on and off. The purple is quite a strong grape/Barney colour ad I get enormous amounts of compliments. The blue looks turquoise on the website, but are actually a light blue and very sweet. The height is perfect without being tippy. I have been wearing them non-stop since I got them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Worth every penny!
I bought the baby blue pair. They are my first pair of Fluevog shoes. I love them. No breaking them in. Super comfy, soft leather. I received compliments the first day I wore them. I think I need to buy another pair when I visit Gastown.

Beautiful
Absolutely adore these in green and black. Wish they would restock this color way! Or have the black lace and sole option in the other Color’s.

Wow Boots
I love these boots in purple. They fit well and look great with everything. The laces are flat and you can loosen them for wider feet and the side zipper is a great feature.

Groovy and Perfectly Practical
My mind was blown when I found out I won the monthly draw! I went promptly to the Vancouver Gastown store (such a good vibe place). The violet magenta color of these boots stopped me in my tracks. So gorgeous, the kind of color that almost hurts your eyes to look at it because it is so beautiful!
I am usually a 7 in Fluevogs - East Enders, Adrians and a 6.5 in the Super Fines that has a long toe box. I have a narrow foot so took my usual 7. Super comfy with a grippy, slightly spongy sole .
Rhiannon, an excellent salesperson, helped my sister and I for hours try on every shoe imaginable. Thank you Rhiannon and thank you John Fluevog! I’ve been wearing Fluevogs since 1988! You continue to blow me away with the most groovy, unique designs and the comfort of your shoes.

Bliss!
My jaw dropped when I saw these boots, I read the reviews and decided my 10.5ww feet might fit in a 11 especially with the laces going all the way down.
Service was quick, I got these beauties a couple of days after ordering and they are beautiful. The boot is lightweight for such a big sole, the leather supple, and a great purple color.
My foot actually fit... but, it is snug. I think that I could actually fit in a 12, but only 11.5 is available. I re-ordered and will keep my fingers crossed.

Gorgeous boots
I am thrilled with them! The purple is vibrant and bright, the heel is comfortable, and the rubber sole makes them easy on my joints. They were a bit snug on the side of my big toe at first wearing (I have a wide forefoot) but they relaxed quickly and now fit perfectly. I am a 6.5 in Bellevue and Operetta, 7 in most others, and a 7 fits very well. I love them so much. We will have a great winter together

Mmmmagenta!!
These boots are phenomenal! The purple are a gorgeous dark magenta and super comfortable out of the box! The heel height and style are perfect. The style is so original and I’ve now ordered the green too! The zipper is so handy; there’s no need to untie them. I appreciate the inspirational saying inscribed on the sole! As far as sizing, I’m usually a 10 1/2 for Vogs and I have these in an 11, to be worn with medium-weight socks.

Dream Shoes. Just wow!
So this was my first ever Fluevog pair of boots....and boy did I take a plunge! Buying shoes online already gives me anxiety plus with having wide size 10 feet I was pretty nervous. But I trusted the system and after doing some research I determined that the Womens 10.5 should be perfect, and my goodness they were!! I'm absolutely in love. The green color is just to die for and the fit is perfect, they broke in after just a couple days of wearing them to work. The lace up shoe is great for wide feet since it gives me the option to adjust the width where I need it, which is perfect!! And I was worried about the height of the heel since I don't normally wear heels but it's just right, gives me a little lift but isn't too much. I feel like a badass wearing these boots!! And the leather is divine, so so soft. I can't recommend these boots enough!! Thank you John Fluevog for creating my dream shoe!!!

Probably my favorite shoes since my red T-strap Stride Rites
The universe gently whispered that it was finally time for Fluevogs (after lusting after them in high school) when we pulled up to Hotel Epik and I turned to see a
Fluevog store front just across the street.
Alex was wonderful, and I am completely in love with these magenta wonders. I wore them all around Montreal the day after I bought them and am enjoying wearing them in rehearsals back in Boston.
*everytime* I wear them people comment on them, threaten to steal them from me (kidding of course... or are they?), want to know where I got them....etc They are beautifully made, stunning, and yet entirely practical shoes and I LOVE them.

Powerful Purple
The Wanderers are truly made for wandering. As someone with a wide foot and high instep I often have to break in new shoes for a bit before they are comfortable. I took these out of the box, wore them for running errands all day and then took my pup for a 3 mile walk; no pinching, blisters or foot crankiness. yes! Also, the purple is fantastic. Saving to get the green ones next.

Oh John, you had me at purple 💜
My favourite Fluevogs to date. Love my groovy purple boots! I receive no fewer than three compliments every single time I wear them. “OH MY GOD, THOSE BOOTS…” echoes endlessly 💜💜💜

Nobody does it better!
How does John keep coming up with the perfect shoe?! I have been wearing his designs since 1984, and I never get tired of how gorgeous, comfortable, and well-crafted the shoes are—and the Wanderer is no exception. My foot is 9 3/8 inches long and just shy of 4 inches wide at the ball, with full weight on my foot; my Wanderers are size 8, and fit well, with room for a medium weight cotton sock. They are so smoothly finished inside that I took them out for their maiden voyage on a hot, humid day, with a fair amount of walking city sidewalks—no rubbing, pinching, or overheating. The soles are flexible, the heels stable, and the purple color is delicious. My one caveat—and this is my foot, not the boot—is I have to open up the laces to get my high instep inside (yes, even with the side zip), so the fabulous "bowling shoes" lacing style has given way to a standard criss-cross lacing—but the boots still look sweet and function better. Thanks, John!

Love love love the color but sadly sent back to size issue...Im a street size 10. I ordered a 10.5.. Sadly a tad too short. No size 11, so back into the Flueniverse they go.

This are my pre-autumn strength!
I love these! I bought them today from the Queen St. West Fluevog store via the fabulous Marina M! I own 2 pairs of Naps already so I knew the fit was on par with my Prepares, East Ends, and Minis (just a half size bigger than my non Vog street size) and I was right. I ADORE the zip on the side, which allows me to pop them on with ease and leave the laces in the cool horizontal style in which they were boxed in, custom made to my foot and ankle though! The colour is outrageously out there, and I know it will be wearable with everything I own!
