There are many beautiful shoes in this world and too many to wear. Be that as it may, few stand out as a brand in there own right. Here in Australia we have one that many know as the beloved, long lasting boots for the outdoors – R.M. Williams.
While in Vancouver, Canada, a few months ago, I stumbled upon the iconic John Fluevog. In Melbourne, Fluevog is represented in only a small number of specialist shoe boutiques and unless you know about the brand, you wouldn’t even associate it with shoes.
I was introduced to Fluevog six years ago and I am still wearing my favourite pair of boots. So, it was with much delight that I entered the Fluevog store and came out with three new pairs of shoes. Since then I have bought another two pairs on line!
Fluevog is not just about shoes. It is about the feeling you get when you shop for, and wear, Fluevog. These shoes will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love their story, I love their uniqueness, I love the Fluevog shop, and I really like their online offering and emails.
At the Victoria museum on Vancouver Island you will also see that the Canadians really got what Fluevog was about long before the rest of us. Fluevog is not just about covering your feet. It is about being delighted every time you put on his shoes or see a new collection. Check it out for yourself.
