Customer Reviews John Fluevog Malibran

Simply adorable!! A must-have, for sure. I fell in love with these the minute I laid eyes on them and they hardly let you down once they're on your feet. For anyone new to Fluevogs and is hesitating to purchase these only due to price, rest assured you're getting a wonderful value and an amazingly versatile shoe. Equally adorable dressed up or down, somehow this one shoe manages to fit every occasion. It's funky but conservative, dressy but divine with jeans or pants, and gives just enough heel for super girly-ness without the next day blisters. Fluevog is the master of comfy shoes right out of the box and if you hate having to "break in" shoes and want basically a one-stop shop for every look in the closet, this is one gem of a slipper. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars overall is that for chicks with super narrow feet, it may fit a wee bit wide over the ankle. Nothing that adding one notch won't remedy. Any professional shoe repair place can do that on the spot for $5. Order true to size. Then have your Cinderella moment.

Love these shoes! I have these in red and they are my favorite high heels. They are the most comfortable pair of heels I have ever worn; I can walk in them for hours and still feel fine (and I'm normally a bit of a wuss about such things). I get compliments on them every time I wear them. I also really like them because they look good with stockings or bare legs, whereas most heels seem to only work well with one or the other. I've had mine for 3 years and I'm still just as in love with them as when they were new. Definitely worth the money.

I just got these for a gift and I am still trying to decide to keep them. I have a pair of the Classic and they are wonderful. I am a size 7 and ordered a 6 previously and this is also the size I got. They are pretty tight on my foot and calf. I am hoping that they loosen up a bit, and I don’t have problems with the zipper as others have said. They are pretty boots!!!!

Glad I went up a 1/2 size! I really loved these shoes when I saw them in a knitting mag with hand knitted socks. I bought a 1/2 size up thinking I would need the space to fit the thicker socks. I am so glad I did! I usually wear bet. 7.5- 8, but the 8.5 just fit my foot, they look adorable. Expensive. But comfortable, at least walking around on my carpet they were... just adorable...

LOVE! I have never spent this much on any article of clothing, but I adore these shoes. Great funky vintage style and very comfortable. Fluevogs are usually very narrow and the heels are stiff. Broke my heart cuz they are so arty and stylin'. But these are super comfy. I wear a size 7 and 6 and a half fits perfectly. Roomy toe box and very stable heel. LOVE!

Great, interesting shoe - Looked exactly like the picture. Wonderful color not usually found. Unique. Fits great.

Get ready for compliments - These shoes are great - I've tried other Fluevogs on that were too narrow - these are perfect for wide feet. Fairly true to size - a 9 is a little big, but good overall, fits true to size. Another reviewer says she could jog in them - they're not that comfortable, but feel good for how high the heel is. Get ready for compliments. My boss hates them, but that makes them all the more cuter! I received more compliments on this shoe than any other I own. All the ladies in the office gathered around my foot ogling them.

Best dress shoe I own! I have several other pairs of Fluevog’s because they are rather unique looking, but of late I am more interested in comfort over style. However, much to my delight, the Malibran shoe is the most comfortable dress shoe I've ever owned. I even wore them when I was eight and a half months pregnant. I have moderately high arches and am sensitive to shoes that are too tight over the top of my feet and toe boxes that are too narrow. This shoe fits like a dream for me. I wear a 6.5 in this shoe, but I think mostly 7s in other shoes.

These shoes are great! I agree with the other reviewer who said you could jog in these shoes. They are soo comfortable. I love them! I usually wear a 9.5 and that's what I bought and they fit perfectly. Really lovely shoes.

Amazing~ These sassy little mary janes are my new favorite shoe! They are so comfortable I feel like I could jog in them. These are great for going out for the night, because your feet never hurt. You are not going to slip and fall in these, the rubber on the bottom is awesome. They look great with anything, jeans or skirts. I get lots of compliments on how cute these shoes are! I am a size 6 and these are a little big, but not too big. They have plenty of room to wear funky tights and socks in the winter time with!

First pair of Fluevogs and I really like them. They are actually made for a human foot, yet have loads of style and funk also. Shoe designers out there, it IS possible to do both! I got these in the green, which I just love. I did not find these to run a half-size smaller than marked like other reviewers did. However, I kept the larger size I ordered because I can fit in a gel insert for the forefoot for even more comfort if I need it.

This shoe is just gorgeous, stylish, and very comfortable. I love the green colour and am going to try to get a pair in a half-size smaller. Get them and you won't regret it

Too sad for words - These are the cutest shoes ever! I saw them on someone and had to have them. Hesitant because well... they're expensive. I normally wear a 6.5, but they only had a 7 in stock. Sadly, they are a little too big, so I have to return them. Hoping that they become available in my size.

Love it! These maryjanes are so comfortable which is a surprise with its 2.25" heel. They seem to give more support than the flat Ingrid boots, if that's even possible. The Malibran is so sexy and looks even better on. The crisscross straps are high enough that if you wear long jeans/slacks, they will cover the straps and just have the toe of the maryjanes and the top of your foot peep out. You might even show some toe cleavage! These Malibrans are a definite YES to the wardrobe.

Great shoes! Totally worth the $. Very comfortable and so snazzy!

So stylish & comfortable! These are my first pair of Fluevog's and I'm hooked! They are super comfortable, and have very sturdy heels. They are so well made; I fear that this is NOT my last pair! I have a smaller & narrower left foot, (by half a size) and I ordered these a half size larger after reading other reviews, and they fit perfectly. You won't be disappointed - expensive, but well worth it!

In Love - With John Fluevog shoes. OMG! I had no idea what I was missing. My feet are a mess: Blisters with every new pair, bunions, one foot a 1/2 size smaller than the other. The moment I put these on with the wide toe box, manageable heel height, and rubber sole, I was in love. Order a 1/2 size larger than usual; you're going to LOVE THESE.

Wow - I had bought the Lucilles earlier today from the Fluevog store near my house because I needed a new pair of black shoes, but I also really liked these. When I found these in green online, I caved and bought them, too (thereby shooting my shoe budget for the next year!). The remarkable thing about these is that they are comfortable and I don't feel at all wobbly as I usually do in heels. Plus, I love that the soles are rubbery so I don't have to worry about slipping and falling. They are stable and stylish. But be careful with the sizing--these run true to size, but some other Fluevogs run bigger or smaller depending on the shoe. I had to go a whole size up in the Lucille. Like one of the other reviewers, I also noticed that the strap without the buckle bulged a little bit, so I was glad to hear her suggestion and will change mine next time. Overall, I love these shoes.

Gorgeous - These are one of the most beautiful pairs of shoes I have ever had fit me. The craftsmanship is clearly a huge cut above what I usually buy. For the price, these seem worth it. I am grudgingly returning them because the heel is too high for my Earth-shoe-girl foot. On principle and for comfort I wear only flat or nearly flat shoes. I thought from the picture I may be able to get by with these, but the heel is simply too much for me. Heartbreak because they look perfect. I will certainly check out this brand again.

Fabulous Mary Jane style, comfortable fit! I just bought these in the black with the grey accent, and already I've decided to toss all my other black heels! I like this style because they are super comfortable and look equally good with my favorite jeans as they do with a professional business pantsuit, as well as a dressy skirt. A well-balanced, functional, fashionable, all-around shoe in a classic style! I really love the heel, which is not too chunky and has a nice rubber no-slip bottom on it. Although they're pricey, Fluevogs are the only shoes I buy any more because I like the Italian leathers and the fact that they're sweatshop-free. Yes, they're expensive, but worth every penny!

Comfortable and fashionable! So Cute! Amazingly comfortable for heels. With plenty of toe room, these don't pinch at all. Soft and flexible--no need to beak them in. My only complaint is that the elasticized cross strap is a little loose on my foot, causing it to bulge when the tighter buckled strap crosses over it. I solved the problem by crossing the buckled strap under the elasticized one.

Very nice shoes - I was very pleased with this shoe. Not only was it comfortable, but it was true to size. It is a little wide, but the appearance and comfort make up for the small gaps on the sides. They look good with dress pants and jeans. Very versatile shoes.
