John Fluevog

A modern man wants some style but he’s not a woman. Shoe shopping cuts into Madden time, after all. A man wants style but not fashion. He’s not ready to comb magazines for the latest look, not ready to dump that $200 pair just because it  is so last year. And a man wants one-stop shopping, because it’s a major inconvenience to sit down and unlace those John Varvatos Chuck Taylor hi-tops more than you have to. Fluevog’s just the right call for the modern man. The Canadian designer’s shoes are singular and timeless, styles that you can wear for years without fear of ending up like that guy still sporting a goatee and an untucked striped dress shirt. And with a range that runs from smart dressy shoes that suit up nicely to the most casual of streetwear, JF can hook you up. And stylish? Don’t blame us if you get mistaken for a rock star.
