Vancouver Staycation Ideas and a StayVancouverHotels Giveaway 
Flip Flop Shops Boot Giveaway
The Flip Flop Shop on West 4th saved us last November before our trip to the Caribbean as they were the only place in town where we could find some flip flops. This year, they’ve expanding their product offering to include other seasonal footwear such as boots and closed-toe sandals.
Aside from having a unique, high-quality collection, it’s a great shopping experience. The staff know quite a bit about each piece of footwear that they carry, they can identify traits and features from individual brands, and you get that long-lost customer service and personal attention when shopping for footwear.
In order to promote their new Fall and Winter items, they have offered up two pairs of boots to give away to a couple of Miss604.com readers.
Style 1:
The NOMAD Hurricane (Black)
Durable, water resistant, rain boots.
Style 2:
The EMU Tundra (Black)
Made with water-resistant sheepskin, these lace-up boots will keep you looking stylish and feeling warm.
Each contest winner will be able to go into the Flip Flop Shop on West 4th to try on their winning pair of boots to make sure they’re the perfect fit. There are two ways you can enter to win a pair of these boots:
I will draw two winners on Thursday October 21st at 12:00pm. Follow Flip Flop Shops on Twitter or Facebook for more product info.
If you do make your way over to the Flip Flop Shop (on West 4th, just West of Buarrard) they are collecting shoe donations for Soles4Souls in the store. Drop off a pair of shoes (or raid your closet and drop off a dozen) to donate to this cause.
Update The winner of the EMU boots is Brenda (comment entry) and the Nomad boots go to @MeghanRadomske (on Twitter). Congratulations!
Winners must be residents of BC and able to pick up their boots in person at the Flip Flop Shop on West 4th in Vancouver.
Entries on this website use the cmp.ly/0 disclosure statement (no connection, unpaid) unless otherwise noted at the bottom of a post.
I just walked by there yesterday! Wasn’t really thinking about flip-flops (although we’re flying down to Belize next weekend), but somehow I failed to notice boots.
Either boot style will surely be welcome for the return to frosty Vancouver 🙂
