Leeside

When I bought my first pair, the tongue was not properly stitched and fraying. I was given a replacement pair that were fine. I am a 9.5 to 10 women's and bought the W10. I have a wide foot with bunions and they fit perfectly. I never had to break them in - they are a very comfortable walking shoe. I wear them everywhere. They look great with jeans or a skirt or dress. I even wore them hiking up to Signal Hill in Newfoundland which is a treacherous walk. They performed well. I wish they had other colours/patterns-I would likely buy them all!

I just received these in pink and they are so lovely! But... even though I ordered my usual size (9), my toe is jammed in the end. Boohoo! I am going to offer them to my daughter (it would be her first pair of Fluevogs), but if she says no, I'll exchange them for (gulp!) a 10. Might need these in blue too....

Generally I am not a sneaker fan; I keep my athletics shoes in the gym… so I surprised myself when I decided I needed these. The gorgeous metallic colour did it for me. And I am totally against “invisiwear”. I now am also against silent sneaking…. These shoes do make a bit of noise, but they are supremely comfortable and very pretty for a leisure shoe. And the colour is glorious. Thankfully I ordered a full size below my usual Vogsize; and they are still roomy. Comfortable and supportive for a long dog walk and a full day’s wear straight from the box. And have I mentioned the wondrous colour…

These shoes have a fun, unique color but are really noisy to walk in. Trying to figure out what to do about it. Tried different socks and various sprays.

These shoes are gorgeously shimmery, especially under bright lights. This makes them a beautiful safety device if you're walking at night. The material creaks and squeaks as you walk, so they're "sneakers" in name only, because everyone can hear you coming. But if you're wearing Fluevogs, you want to get attention! They have thick, well-cushioned insoles, to make them very comfortable for walking...except for one thing: They run a full size smaller than the size they claim to be! This might have to do with the shape of the toe-box, as well as the length. My big toe had enough length, but after wearing them for an hour, I found that my other toes were crashing into the front of the shoes. I've never had this happen before. If a shoe is too short, my big toe is always the one that hits the end. Since I'd worn them, I couldn't return them. Maybe I can find them in a larger size. They sure are beautiful.

I got these in the beautiful blue metallic for my birthday last month and they are AMAZING!! Super comfy right out of the box! I usually wear an 8 in my Fluevogs, but (suprisingly) I went down to a 7 in these and they are perfect! Comfy right out of the box, these are a great shoe. But for me, it's that metallic finish that wins it all! The way the sunlight hits these they're like lavender/blue/rainbow/glitter perfection!! The softness and suppleness make these SO dreamy to wear, the finish is gorgeous! The way the leather creases a bit makes the iridescence show even more. And the lavender laces with the silver eyelets are the icing on the cake!! They make me instantly happy and my only 'complaint' is that now I'm walking looking down at my feet all the time :) Thanks for another reason for my sole/soul to smile John!!

The iridescent look so awesome in pics. Like, every pic. I ordered a pair for my 45th birthday and awaited their awesomeness. I unboxed them as soon as they got here and was so disappointed. They weren't the smooth, silky patent leather. They felt like plastic and the shoes were so wrinkly. The eyelets were gold instead of the silver shown in the photos here. The wrinkly plastic-feel plus the gold eyelets just made them seem and feel cheap. I feel terrible posting this about my beloved brand, but my sis said they reminded her of the Walmart sneakers we used to buy for my niece when she was a wee girl! T_T Needless to say, they were returned.

I bought these because I wanted walking shoes that were both comfortable and stylish, and these couldn't have been more perfect! They feel like pillows on my feet. I just spent several days walking around NYC in them, and was very happy with them.

I bought these as a mid season runaround shoe and they don't disappoint. Unassuming but whimsical at the same time. Very comfy. Great for all day wear. I am usually a women size 9 in vogs. I bought 9. They are a little roomy but that leaves space for fun socks. Love them.

Made the mistake of taking the fit guide's advice. This shoe doesn't just run small, the printed sizes are off by one. Ordered a size 12 mens. Received what was obviously a size 11 compared to my other shoes (vogs and non-vogs, alike). I wish Fluevog was honest about their sizing and that I had known about this before ordering limited edition Leesides. The false advertising is quite disappointing, especially coming from a brand I typically trust. I'm sure I'm not the only one stuck with shoes that I can never wear. Make sure to size up.

I initially ordered these in my usual size 11, which has been consistent across my other fluevog orders. To my surprise, these were definitely too small in every way, so I took them back to the Victoria store ( about a 40 min drive south, down Island. It was my first visit to an actual store, and Rae-Ann was so kind and helpful!! As the Leaside doesn't come in half-size increments, went up to a size 12, which fortunately they had in the white as in my on-line order. Now they fit great, and can accommodate low socks as well, and the laces give me adjustability for my narrow foot. Of course I came home with another style on my wish list, which was on sale! Loved the in-store experience (eye candy for sure!) Definitely worth the drive and I expect to be making future trips - good thing they don't have a shop in Cobble Hill, as my budget would be blown to ##**!

I sized up for the best fit and still find them a tad snug but they are still very comfortable. The black are pretty much exactly what I desire from sneakers; designed with care, made from sturdy materials, casually elegant and great with a pair of well fitting jeans. And carrying a Fluevog emblem, can't forget.

I got fooled by the "true to size" -- its definitely not. I have size 9 and even after wearing them for days they are way too tight and uncomfortable. Very disappointed, especially because I know their customer service won't let me replace them. Make sure you size up before you regret spending this much money.

These shoes are snazzy and comfortable. I absolutely love the purple color. I usually wear a 9.5 in Fluevogs and purchased the size 10, which was just right for this pair. The one fit issue I have is that the shoes are narrow across the front of the foot, specifically in the ball and a little into the toes (for reference, I wear regular-width shoes), but it's not enough to stop me from wearing them.
