The brand has become especially known for its high-quality and inventive shoes. They often have an interesting detail, and the focus of many shoes is an open-minded use of color that stands out from the street scene.
The Tampere family shoe business was founded in 1986 and had a brick-and-mortar store on Hämeenkatu in Tampere, which closed its doors earlier in the summer. The brand’s shoes have been sold at retailers all over Finland and Europe and through online stores worldwide.
Vamsko is also behind the popular, affordable So What skateboard shoe brand of the 90s, which were especially popular with young people.
Many fans of the shoe brand have commented on the brand’s termination post with wistful moods and praised the brand for their favorite shoes.
– Thank you for the colorful shoe brilliance that remains alive in the street scene, thanked one follower.
For many users, the brand’s shoes have been absolute favorites.
– My absolute favorite shoes are all from you! And are constantly gathering admiration. Thank you!
– My favorite shoes are from you. It’s a real shame that you have to stop.
– Really sad news. Thank you for all the wonderful shoes that I have happily purchased from you.
Many hoped that the brand would continue its story in the future.
– Oh, misery. I also use ankle boots and boots all the time. I hope there will be a sequel in some form sometime, commented someone on the post.
