Denny from our San Francisco (Haight) store says:
If you are in-between sizes, size up (so if you're a men's 9.5, order the 10).

Almost there
No sole issues yet. Chose larger size to get width without compromising comfort. Delicious to put on and wear, soft, cushioned, not heavy like some other comfy Fluevogs, but I really wish this design was not so long in the toe. A redesign of this last shape on same construction would be welcome. Rounding off the excess would make these a near perfect anytime boot, especially as it’s a unisex style in full size range and truly comfortable and accessible to those of us with larger feet.

(PS - So weird, I’m a different Audrey)
Haha, just reading past reviews I noticed there’s another Audrey who’s partner bought these for her in red in 2020… which is hilarious because my partner bought mine for me in black in 2022 (and also in spite of my saying the same thing about not wanting any more boots, only sneakers). Just wanted to clarify - I’m the 2023 comment and would have gotten them in blue and red (and now that purple is on sale, I would have gotten that too!) but for the sole problems! Oh well - but so funny to see that Audrey’s of NYC have a thing for Phil!!!

Best Worst Shoes Ever
These are my second-favorite pair of Fluevogs (out of maybe 20 different pairs owned thus far?) in that I can wear them ANYWHERE and feel like I’m walking on air. They are snug and comfortable and flexible and light and feel like a second leather skin on my foot… but.
It’s a BIG BUT.
After wearing them maybe 5-6 times, I too saw the sole lining was peeling off. I took them back to the store for repairs TWICE. Both times I got them back, I wore them once only to find that the same thing happened - in the places that were supposedly mended and then in new places. I bit the bullet and shelled out of pocket for an expert cobbler (which wasn’t cheap, and especially hurt considering I bought these at full price) and have worn them four times since… so far so good, but I’m now wary about wearing them as often as I’d like. It’s such a shame because they would literally be my every day shoes and I’d buy them in every color, but for fear of the same limits and extra expense on the other pairs as well.
I love you so much Phil… but frankly, you’re a flake!

Snug but cozy!
Buttery soft and more on the narrow side of a B width. The laces are short so even with my more slender feet and ankles if I want to lace them clear to the top I have to do a knot with not much at all in the ends leftover. I have the Derby swirls x Anna Sui and they are very roomy in width and length. I purchased those in in size 8 as I did the Phil. I have room for my toes in the length of Phil but they are a cozy fit on the sides of my feet and my small toe. They are not uncomfortable though because of the quality leather.

Perfect for my long narrow feet
So excited to have the red ones! For those of us with super long, narrow feet, these boots fit perfectly. Highly recommended for those of you with the same issues. It is so rare that a person with a 4A heel can fit into anything cool so I may have to buy the green and blue boots too!

Fluevog quality is going down hill
5 of my vogs the sole comes off, only ever had this happen with a shoe one time (20$ shoe) , been collecting for a few months and that’s 5 out of 22 shoes the sole has come off. Not happy the are being returned as you never even wore them and the sole is detaching lol

Comfy boot with separation problem
These boots are indeed comfortable, but I have a problem with mine that other posters have had with theirs. Last Wednsday I purchased my pair, wore them to my desk job the next day and, in taking them off that night, I noticed that the heel end of one of the soles had separated from the bottom of the boot. I'm bringing them back to the store tomorrow for a refund or exchange.

Love, love, love my boots, but....
I got my boots about a month ago, and I love them. I have big, narrow feet and these fit me perfectly and were comfy out of the box. I am a teacher so on my feet most of the day, and I never have any foot pain from these boots - which is very rare for me. Yesterday I noticed that the sole on the right boot is starting to come off. It is so upsetting and disappointing given they are brand new (and I love them). I live in Ecuador as well, which makes it all the more difficult to have them repaired or replaced.

John Fluevog Shoes
Hi Gretchen, We're so sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your Phils. Replacement soles can be ordered from any of our stores - We would recommend you reach out to the store that processed your order to inquire ;)
Sadly issues
Love them very much. love them so much I ordered 4 different colors. Unfortunately after 2 months of wear I’m experiencing separation issues from the sole and the shoe. 2 out of the 4 are doing this. I put super glue into the gaps which seems to help. Over all they are super comfy but with the money I spent and the separation issues I can’t recommend.

These boots are Phillomenal!!!
Soft leather, bouncy rubber soles, very light, total comfort! I have these in black and green and love, love, love them! Like wearing sneakers that are disguised as boots! Great looking with everything.
Highly recommend these winners.

Omgosh!!! I love these boots!
My partner got these boots for me for Christmas after I swore I didn’t want more boots just sneakers. I’m glad he did!! I LOVE these boots. They are uber comfy, love the soft buttery leather and rubber soles. I got them in red and I want to get them in other colors now!!! LOVE THEM!!!

Amazing boots
Fantastic quality and comfort from day one. I have the blue ones. Make more colors!

Perfect!!
These were comfortable from the first instant I put them on my feet. The leather is buttery soft, the color is stunning ( I got the blue ones), and the compliments never end. Today I walked seven miles in these beauties and my feet were content. Get em. You won't be sorry.
