This fall season, Canada’s ShoeRu Ron White has visited Calgary to launch his men’s and women’s collections at
Holt Renfrew. It was a pleasure to meet the designer/shoe entrepreneur in
person and chatted briefly with him about the collections and the knowledge of
shoe making.
White’s expertise as a retailer comes from his 20 years of experience
in the business. He was named
International Retailer of the Year by Condé Nast in 2011, (a Canadian first)
and was inducted to the Sheridan College Business Hall of Fame in 2006. Seven
years ago, he began designing his own Ron White shoe collection.

He is also creator of the world’s first “All Day Heels”, where White has sought the solution of having
footwear that is both in-style and comfortable. The “All Day Heels” concept is
incorporated with the science and technology also used by NASA. His mix of
fashion and comfort has made fans out of celebrities from Katie Couric, Lisa LaFlamme and
Mrs. Harper to Kevin Spacey and Seamus O'Regan.
Currently
Ron White collections include the Ron White Collection, Ron White Signature,
WHITE Ron White Collection and Ron White Men’s Collection. The growing
popularity of the brand resulted in his exclusive partnerships with leading
retailers in Canada and US, including Holt Renfrew and Zappos.com.



One
of the designs that I liked for the women’s collection is the “Belinda”. It showcased
a subtle edgy flare to a elegant style. The “Darryl” cognac color riding boots
for women are equally flattering, a daring spin to the western-inspired
classic, perfect for the audience in Calgary. The patent leather material used
in the women’s heels is treated the way exclusive to Ron White shoes. The
exquisite Italian craftsmanship can be seen in all of the pieces. Men also get
their shout out in the Ron White Men’s Collection. The “Wayne” high top leather
boots is another timeless piece which versatile to all casual looks.
