Denny from our San Francisco (Haight) store says:
These are mostly true to size. Maybe a sliver big. If you are in-between sizes you might be able to get into the smaller size. Use care when pulling on these boots, especially if you have a high instep, as you don't want to accidentally tear the pull-tab.

SO comfortable!
I own a pair of size 7 Fizzy, and I fell in love with the sky-hi F line, so I took the chance that these would also fit. I was SO happy to slide them on and yup - another perfect fit (size 7)! For anyone with the need for a wider toe/metatarsal fit, this boot is absolutely worth a try. I usually have to wear orthotics, but with the sky-hi F line, I don’t need to - they are that comfortable. I love the height the platform gives without the need for a raised heel - if you have problem feet I’m sure you can appreciate this, too). Now, bets on when I cave and buy the Blue Graffiti colour as well….

Boots so nice, bought ‘em twice
I treated myself to the Grafitti-print Nerds for Christmas, and I was hooked on them the moment they arrived. They are the exact vibe that 90s pre-teen me would have loved. I ordered the black pair less than two months later and I have no regrets.
Fit-wise, I’m a pretty consistent 6.5/37 in other brands (my feet are very flat, average width). I ordered the size 7 in these boots and I’m VERY happy with the fit. It’s properly winter here, and I can wear my typical tights + cozy sock combo with these boots, no problem. I particularly love how roomy the toe box is, without being too big. They would be a tad loose with bare feet, but I’m not planning to wear them like that!
These boots are legitimately comfortable - I can wear them all day at work, where I’m on my feet a lot of the time. They look like they’d be heavy, but they’re not - they are somehow light and sturdy at the same time. I love the extra height and the exaggerated silhouette of the boot.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate that you included details about sizing, fit, and how you wear the boots. Walk in peace!
So cute, good for wide feet but Fluevog sizing is tricky
I really fell in love with these since they had height but did not compromise comfort. I have wide curved foots/ a Taylor’s bunion and was pleasantly surprised. However, try them on in store if possible. While the shoe is bigger horizontally, it is a bit short length wise which was confirmed by the store I was at. I am a 6.5 foot and wear size 7 in Hoka running shoes, a size 37 in Dankso, but had to buy these in size 8! The 7 was constant toe bumping as I walked, and the 8 was a perfect fit. Otherwise, they’re pretty comfy! Insoles are removable as well, I believe they are glued but they can be taken out and replaced for comfier insoles.

Dream of the 90’s is Alive with Nerds
When I saw these boots I instantly flashed back to the 90’s and knew they had to be mine. I’m normally a 9.5 to 10 in vogs but went with a 9 in these and they are perfect. So comfortable; I can’t wait to wear these with everything.

Good for wide-footers
I often run into issues with the width of Fluevogs because my feet are wide and have high arches, but these accommodated both just fine. The toebox is even a little more square than I'd anticipated, so they're plenty roomy.
I asked for sizing help because I usually go with a 9.5 in Fluevogs, which isn't available in this style, and was told to go with a 10- those were huge & I returned them for a 9. If there had been an 8.5, I probably could've even gone with that. I'm a small 9 in street shoes, so these are very true to size for me.
Solid construction and just as heavy as they look- they're much better than the cheap, lightweight chelsea platforms on the market.
