Shoegazing is a website about quality shoes, or to be fully correct: quality shoes made with traditional construction methods. It was started in 2012 in Swedish, the English version was launched 2015, Japanese version in 2022, and today Shoegazing is one of the largest blogs in the world about classic shoes. Shoegazing also organises the Super Trunk Show events in New York, Stockolm, Amsterdam and London, the latter is the world’s largest fair for classic men’s shoes open to the public. Part of the London event is also the world championships of shoemaking, shoe shining and shoe patina. I also run the podcast Shoegazing Podcast, the only podcast on classic men’s shoes in the world.
Me who run the site is Jesper Ingevaldsson, from Gothenburg, Sweden. An educated journalist who also have worked many years within communication, nowadays I’m working with the shoes and shoe care online retailer Skolyx 80%, and then with Shoegazing 20%.
There’s no paid or affiliate content on the site (or in Shoegazing’s social media channels for that matter), no affiliate links in the articles which I make money on etc, and I always try to be as objective as possible when I write about things. For companies looking to pay for content, please look elsewhere. In some cases I receive products at a discount or for free, which are featured in reviews etc. In these cases, this is stated, and the companies never have any influence whatsoever on the content.
I do not accept guest posts on Shoegazing, there’s no point in contacting me about that.
