Hey folks, I snapped the picture below in Paris from a shoe store called Tamaris. I am not familiar with that brand but I really like the couple of shoes on the left hand side. It has the sneaker look but with almost suede-like materials on top. Look super comfortable and great for walking.

I was waiting to get on a bus at the time so I didn't go inside to try them on. I also hesitated to buy because each pair was 129.99 EURO which is almost $200CAD. I am pretty sure I can find something comparable here at home, for less, and not having to deal with customs at the border to boot.

Just wondering if you guys have seen something similar here? Thanks.

There's a Tamaris Canadian website, but it looks like it's just women's only. IMO, that site looks like a Skechers alternative.

Those shoes on the bottom left are generally called minimal sneakers and pretty much every sneaker company (and companies that don't typically make shoes) makes some sort of version of this. Prices can vary greatly from budget brands at $50 to over $1K for luxury brands. Comfort and quality is all over the place too... Here's a Youtuber that broke down a lot of different brands, it's a bit old, but still relevent:

Thanks, it's actually the 2 shoes on the display shelves and not the ones on the bottom shelf but I appreciate you sharing the video nonetheless.

I have some gift cards with the Bay so I will check them out this weekend to see if they have something similar. Cheers.

And you didn't say hi? C'monnnnnn

Congrats! Lonnnnngggg time coming. So ironic, come from GTA to Ottawa to buy Red Wings. Meanwhile you lucky guys have THREE actual? Stores with a fourth opening up soon. We don't even have a single one :(.

Good thing you didn't say the size I have about 10 for sale in, or I would have been really disappointed in you missing out.
Haha. I know! I wanted to say hi but wasn't sure you still lived in Ottawa. I know we met back in 2013 when I came for a friend's wedding. Same friend I met this past weekend. There were other stores that carried Red Wings in Ottawa, but Birling was the closest to my hotel.

Lol, yeah track record of planting roots would've suggested not.

We have 4 stores basically that carry a model or 2 or 3. Far cry from a full operation sadly. I have more RW branded store stuff than all of them sadly.
