SHOEme.ca brings your shoe-shopping obsession to mobile

Good news for lovers of shoes, Canada’'s first virtual shoe store SHOEme.ca is now live and supports companion apps. With a simple scan of any smartphone or tablet, consumers can shop and purchase the 2014 fall collection (32 styles) directly from an eight feet tall, 14 feet wide billboard advertisement.

Vancouver-based e-tailer SHOEme.ca will install the virtual pop-up shop early next week in downtown Vancouver’s premier shopping/financial district. As one of the fastest growing ecommerce companies, SHOEme.ca expects the innovative experience to capture the attention of customers who are increasingly plugged in. Hit jump for more information.
