John Fluevog

I was fortunate enough to go to the Portland Fluevog store on International Fluevog Day, where celebrations were in full swing. The shoes are unique and memorable, and I was grateful to have an opportunity to try on the ones I’d been ogling online. I normally wouldn’t spend this much for shoes, but I was thinking I’d wear them when I get married in 6 months. I found the staff to be very helpful and upbeat, which might not have been easy for all of them since it was a long and hectic day and John Fluevog was there in person for an after party when the store would usually be closed on a Sunday. Definitely spendy, but comfortable and unique. I’ve received more compliments on my Fluevogs by strangers than I have on anything!

Very fashion forward and comfortable shoes. Service is generally awful but if you get lucky and the guy who works here you will love your experience. The women tend to look you up and down, talk with just each other, and hide behind the cash register. I think John fluevog should send secret shoppers here to evaluate the service!

I have loved Vogs for years, I sold my whole collection to move to PDX and pursue a career change, the last time I was in a store they only had two in the US, so imagine my surprise to find Flutopia!!! And by chance they were having a sale when I came in, I immediately snagged two snazzy little ladies to re-​build my shoe empire on. The shop gal was amazingly sweet and didn’t mind my waxing poetic about all of the shoes I once loved. Their sales racks were way better organized than the Chitown store (so sorry to say) and the layout of the shop was better since it is smaller — you could see everything. Definitely will be back when I have some more money burning a hole in my pocket.
Fluevogs really hold up over time, retain their value and are so comfy — the only heels I ever where and even held up during pregnancy.

I love the funky shoes, however the snobby jerk that passed for ‘customer service’ really made sure that I’d never buy shoes there EVER. There are too many other shoes in the world to be treated like crap.

Seriously. The best shoes on earth. And the Portland store has an incredible staff of lovely folks running it. Every experience there is delightful. Every shoe I buy from them is my favorite.

Thanks guys for the awesome boots. Gnna dance in them and rock out some hair. Love the soles. Crystal did a fine job of helping me out when I purchased a pair of boots. I went back for a second pair in the same style but diff color namely orange and camo. Once again great boots and great customer service.

beautiful store. employees always super nice same at la shop

I am a long time fan of Fluevog and am so happy to find an amazing store here in Portland. The selection is fantastic, the store is just as cool as all the other stores I’ve been to (there’s even one of John’s cars displayed in the store!) and the employees are incredible. Every time I go in they bend over backwards to help me find what I’m looking for and they give great, honest advice on what you’re trying on. If you’re in the Portland store, ask for Gerri! They are all great, but Gerri’s my guy.

So surprised and disappointed. I am a long time Fluevoger, and have been to the vancouver stores and one in san fran. Ive always been treated so well. My friends and I were in Fluevog Portland for over a half hour. I picked up several pairs to look at them. There were two sales clerks behind the desk, and one on the floor, helping a couple. We were NEVER approached. No one said hello, or can I help you, or would you like to try something on. Very sad for Fluevog. I am sticking with my vancouver store!

I bought a pair of Prepares Guide shoes. The sole came off in several spots. The store manager assured me that they can fix it since the shoes are under warranty. The fix was sloppy and incomplete. I e-​mailed with my complaints and no one answered. They simply brushed me off. I can buy Fluevog shoes online even from Amazon that takes care of its customers. They sold me defective shoes for over $ 300 and didn’t care to take care of the problem. Hopefully, you will have a better luck, but be aware they won’t do anything if you do.

Fantastic experience here, and some smokin’ hot unique shoes! I’ve been eyeing Fluevog shoes for a couple years now and I’m thrilled to finally own a pair.
Priscilla helped me and was able to point me to styles that would be a good fit for my fussy feet. Heh, see what I did there? :-) I tried on a bunch of likely candidates. John Fluevog shoes are unique — handmade, limited lines, high quality, and some really colorful and funky designs. They aren’t for everyone, and I didn’t love all the styles, but I did fall in love with one pair, so it had to come home with me. Unfortunately Fluevogs are pretty pricey shoes so only one pair for me. Priscilla was very helpful and fun to talk to and not at all pushy. The shop has most of the shoes you see online, but since they just opened a few months ago, they don’t have a sale section yet. She said that at the end of this season, they’ll have sale shoes like the other Fluevog shops. Maybe then I can afford another pair.

Rightly or wrongly, my review is based on a comparison between this location and the locations in Vancouver (Canada), Boston, and Chicago. Unfortunately, this place doesn’t hold a candle to the others.
Don’t get me wrong: the shoes are still amazing (you can make an instant statement wearing them on the street) and the bags are gorgeous but…
1. The selection here is smaller and the sale section (the one part of the store I can afford) is almost non-​existent. In Chicago and Boston, the sale section occupies almost the entire back of the store.
2. The bag selection here is quite small. Only a couple of totes, some clutches, and a few handled mid-​size carry-​alls. I was looking for a messenger that would look mannish enough for me to carry around work and on the weekends. No dice. Found one at the Boston store.
3. Awkward staff. Dude followed me and my friend around everywhere. I was wearing another pair of Fluevog’s and he kept pointing to them and telling me to take care of them better. Back off?

Love.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Very cool shoes! All hand-​made and only 250 pair of each shoe style are produced. So their styles are constantly being updated. Only the 8^th location in the US. Very friendly staff. Love the owner’s old Jaguar that is on display.

Fluevog that’s all that’s needed to be said.

This snazzy little shop wasn’t here yesterday… this is all brand spankin’ new.
I love it. A new shoe store has come to town. This is no ordinary shoe store. John Fluevog’s has funky, interesting shoes as well as some fetching handbags.
These shoes are high quality, finely crafted leather goods with prices to match. The sassy little numbers that caught my eye were priced at $ 285.00. Sadly my debit card will not permit me to take them home with me. I read something on the website about Fluevog being «Satan resistant» I wonder if they are drool resistant too? We’ll have to see about the drool part eh? Get that water proofer out people.
While a couple of styles wowed me. Not all the shoes rocked my world. Some of them looked like they belonged in an Evanescence video or something. And some looked a little matronly. But hey, you can’t please everyone all the time. Fashion is fickle. And they do have fashions for you men as well so please fellas, go and check them out.
Overall, John Fluevog is a fun and interesting store. I hope they are a success.
