Set on one of Toronto's most popular streets, Queen St W, the Fluevog shoe store is home to the Vog Vault -- a gravity-defying photo op.
The store was built inside an old national bank building, giving the retail space an abundance of character that matches the brand's beloved shoes. Transforming the building's former bank vault into the Vog Vault sets this unique shoe store apart from others, offering a space that allows consumers to take one-of-a-kind pictures in their new shoes.
Creator John Fluevog had an extraordinary life before designing footwear and opening his Fluevog store spaces. He notes his life experiences an inspiration and aims to bring the world amazing footwear options that boast global influences.
