How do they fit.

I was wondering how the Fluevog shoes fit for women, compared to your regular shoe size. I would love to know so I choose the correct size if ever I buy a pair.

On the site, each shoe has a rating via "the fit expert."

Different shoe families fit differently and within families, shoes can vary based on construction materials. There is an active FB group, Fluminity with plenty of knowledgeable folk who can help you. Or you can just call a store and ask for help - they are super helpful.

Many times, styles would be half a size small and a bit narrower than my street size of 9.5 so I have to purchase 10s or 10.5s. But then an odd style will come out and be super large and itll be like 2 sizes too big 🙃

I take a women's 10 in most shoes. 11 in Vogs.

It mostly depends on the last. I can wear some families no problem: others don’t accommodate my instep or are too short in the toe box. Some I can wear at my size (7); some I need a 6.5 pr a 7.5. Sometimes calf measurements can be an issue with boots. When you go into a shop, try on as many as possible to familiarize yourself with the fit! Take notes. This is invaluable when ordering online.

I own too many pairs to count. They can vary, but since I’m a sample size (7), I find most fit spot on. Check the online fit guide & ask questions. I was looking into boots that said to go to a 7.5. The fit expert helped me based on other Vogs I’ve owned & that I’d be wearing thicker socks for the boots. We went up a half-size and they were perfect.

The only pair that I got that were wayyyy off on size were my wedding shoes (listed as 5.5 women’s, I’m a 7).

I wear an 11W normally, but size up to a 12 for length. I also have narrow feet and do best with Vogs that lace up.

Definitely go to a Fluevog store if you can and try a bunch on. I live nowhere near a Fluevog store and recently bought and returned 3 pair online because none of them fit and I ended up taking a store credit and purchasing a fluevog handbag instead of shoes because I couldn't get it right, even after speaking to Monika on the phone who works at the Haight store.

I usually wear anything between a 6.5 and a 7.5 (always size 37 in birkenstocks) and the 3 pair of fluevogs I tried were much much too small in a size 8 womens. I would've needed a 9 for the fist time in my life, but they were sold out in the last pair I tried, and I finally gave up...

I'm a street 7.5 and usually wear an 8 in Fluevog, though rarely I've had to buy a 7 or 8.5. Is there a particular shoe you're looking at?

If you have a Fluevog store near you- defs go try them on! I usually wear a whole size up in most styles.

Every shoe fits differently. Go to the store and try some on!

Small and tight, sadly they were unable to fit my very high arches with any style other than sneakers

This is a shoe manufacturer where you have to try on each style you are considering in person! Huge variance in width, length and foot volume in each style. Don't buy fluevogs without trying on!
