Arts Offres d'emploi - Truro, NS

John Fluevog is an independent designer and retailer of forward-thinking footwear and accessories. Since 1970, John has been steadfast in creating ‘unique soles for unique souls’ that have been seen everywhere from the feet of artists like Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Jack White, to the runways of high fashion. Some of his earliest customers include The Beach Boys, Alice Cooper, filmmaker Robert Altman, and a slew of slightly less famous (but no less amazing) Fluevogers.

Traditionally made in old-world factories, Fluevog shoes are produced in small runs, are fully repairable, and—with their quality and timeless luxury—always stand out in a crowd. When you wear a pair of Fluevogs, you’re stepping into decades of traditionally crafted untraditional designs.

As you soak up the steady flow of comfort, confidence, and compliments, you’ll quickly begin to wonder what you ever did without Fluevogs on your feet. Whether it sticks in your mind as Foofarg or Vlueflag, Fluevog is a name usually mispronounced, but seldom forgotten.

Our Fluevogologists are the heart and soul of our stores, and now, we’re thrilled to bring that heart to Halifax! With its rich history, vibrant arts scene, and welcoming community, Halifax is the perfect fit for Fluevog’s creativity and individuality. Be part of the team that introduces this city to our one-of-a-kind shoes, helping locals and visitors alike connect their unique souls with our unique soles, through unforgettable customer experiences and bold self-expression.

Our stores are vibrant, welcoming spaces where individuality thrives and diverse personalities take center stage; you’ll play a starring role in our Halifax debut! This role blends style, sales, and standout customer service into a career that’s as unique and exciting as the shoes you’ll help bring to life.

The role of a Fluevogologist is to support the Store Manager, to be an amazing human being, and to champion the store and company’s values and goals in connecting our customers with the shoes of their dreams.
