My name is Garry Bone, I’m the founding partner, and director/?buyer for all of the LIVESTOCK stores.

What makes your store special?

We have collected together every major account that we felt was worth having for canada. We are the most well rounded Canadian shoe store focusing on streetwear and we never have and never will forget that the core of our store is customer service.

Amount of pairs you own:

Every year at our block party we have a shoe drive and donate shoes to homeless people in our area.? I just gave away about 100 pairs, so if I was to

One reason you love shoes:

This is just one of the reasons, as there are many, but some of them just remind me of good times.

One reason why shoes matter:

It’s the base of every outfit, you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes on their feet.

One thing that you dislike about the shoe game:

People take everything way too serious
