About

John Fluevog is a Canadian designer shoe brand founded in Vancouver in 1970. John Fluevog began the business with Peter Fox as Fox and Fluevog in the Gastown district. After the partnership ended, Fluevog opened the first John Fluevog Shoes store and continued developing footwear outside fashion trends. John Fluevog shoes are known for unusual shapes, curved heels, bold colors, decorative soles, creative prints, buckles, platforms, and vintage references. The collection includes boots, heels, loafers, sneakers, sandals, flats, and shoes for men and women. Some designs are understated, while others use dramatic proportions and construction to create a clear statement. The Canadian footwear brand often develops named shoe families, each with its own sole, heel, fit, and design language. Messages and graphic elements may also appear on the soles. This gives many pairs a recognizable identity beyond seasonal trends. For shoppers searching for unique designer shoes, John Fluevog offers expressive footwear influenced by art, music, historical styles, and subcultures. The brand is especially relevant to customers who prefer distinctive shoes, unconventional design, and pieces that make clothing feel more personal.

Souliers Martinez featured image

Souliers Martinez

France · Est. 2017 · Luxury

Julien Martinez launched Souliers Martinez in Paris in 2017, drawing heavily on his Spanish heritage. A visit to an Alicante workshop introduced him to hand-braided leather, which became a defining feature of the label. The shoes combine that visible craft with shaped heels, pointed or softly squared toes and colours that give classic silhouettes a distinctive finish. The women’s range includes woven sandals, pumps, flats and boots, alongside mesh, raffia and occasion styles. According to the brand’s history, its original leather designs were assembled and finished in Spain. Current material guides also identify production in Portugal and Italy for particular categories, so the manufacturing country is specific to the shoe rather than the label as a whole. Souliers Martinez sells through its own online shop and stockists. Its general European size chart covers EU 35–41. Fit advice varies by construction: some styles recommend sizing up between sizes, while others recommend sizing down.

Jacques Solovière Paris featured image

Jacques Solovière Paris

France · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

Footwear designer Alexia Aubert founded Jacques Solovière Paris in 2014, naming the label after her grandfather. Before launching it, she worked with Christian Louboutin, Pierre Hardy and Oscar de la Renta. Her starting point is usually a classic men’s shoe, refined into a light, pared-back silhouette that can also be adapted for women. The collection centres on derbies, loafers and slippers, with boots, sneakers and mules adding other options. A single lace or pinched seam at the front gives some of its most recognisable designs their character. The brand says its current production takes place in Portugal using components sourced from Italy; it makes shoes in limited quantities. Jacques Solovière sells through its online shop, selected stockists and its Paris boutiques, including a location at 3 Rue Molière. Its loafers use Italian sizing that the brand describes as running large, a useful detail for anyone comparing them with other European shoes.

Caulaincourt featured image

Caulaincourt

France · Est. 2008 · Mid-range

Alexis Lafont launched Caulaincourt in Paris in 2008 with a small collection of men’s dress shoes. The house has expanded into loafers, boots, slippers and sneakers, but its best-known feature remains the hand-applied patina: customers can choose a nuanced colour finish rather than being limited to a standard shade. Caulaincourt also offers made-to-order variations for more extensive personalisation. The shoes are made through specialist workshops in several European countries, including France, Italy and Spain; the place of manufacture depends on the model. Caulaincourt uses different construction methods for different shoes, from refined dress styles to more robust boots. Its services include resoling and recolouring, and it offers resoling for its B.A.N.D.I.T sneakers. The brand sells online and through Paris boutiques, including its Rue de Courcelles location. Fit can change between Caulaincourt models, so the house provides a model-based size guide rather than treating one size as universal across its collection.
