John Fluevog

[5] Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Fluevog spent much of his youth at his father's drive-in ice cream parlour.

His shoes began to appear in magazines such as Vogue, in fashion shows for Anna Sui and Betsey Johnson, and worn by celebrities such as Madonna and Lady Miss Kier.

By creating desks out of scaffolding, tables out of fallen old growth oak trees and pipes salvaged from the Alaskan Pipeline, and using recycled carpets and other various cast-off items, John designed an eco-friendly workspace.

Vietnamese, Cambodian and Burmese human rights records have been the subject of criticism by the United Nations, Amnesty International and others; latex and rubber growers in these countries subject workers to extremely low wages, in violation of minimum wage laws, and even illegally occupy thousands of hectares of forest while removing indigenous people.

In 2007 after a spontaneous performance in the Vancouver storefront, Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction, gravitated toward the store's women's heels.

Some notable fans include Whoopi Goldberg, who wore a pair of Fluevog's Mini "lover boots" on her first day as co-host on The View, Lady Gaga, Woody Harrelson, Scarlett Johansson, Robin Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Paula Abdul,[citation needed] and actor Masi Oka[citation needed] who was seen wearing Fluevogs on many episodes of NBC's Heroes.
