This doesn't happen often

...nor is it the big news of the day, but I have shoe lust.



LUST


(I think I like the corresponding boots even better, but they're harder to justify. I already have nice black boots.)

Who the hell got me going with looking at Fluevogs anyway? I've had the Derby Swirl boots for 9.5 years now, so I can actually believe the rave reviews about those heels being comfortable.

If you order them online, keep in mind the Fluevogs run bizarrely small. Like, I always wear an 8 1/2, and had to get a 10 in Fluevog!

Thanks! Sources online say that all the Mini styles have funky sizing, and the best thing to do is get advice from a company rep. I'm lucky though... Boston has a Fluevog store. I may try to figure out my size and then look on ebay... or just wait until I'm getting regular paychecks again.

I also wear 8 1/2 (or 40 in european sizing, as I'm now enough of a shoe snob to know). The flat boots I have now are 9s, I think, which is also what my La Canadiennes are. So I think with Fluevog it really varies by style.

chicago has a fluevog store too--very fun place. It's in (funky, artsy) Wicker Park, of course. The staff alone are worth going to see. :-)
