Blowfish

Blowfish are members of the pufferfish family and have the remarkable ability to expand their size as a defence mechanism. This same skill can be useful in today’s competitive business environment, as shown by the rapidly inflated growth of the Blowfish shoe company! Like their namesake, the company has flourished in sunny waters, being based in the Californian city of Malibu - nice work if you can get it!

The remarkable origins of the Blowfish label

Two very big names in the shoe world came together on Malibu’s famous surf beach to form Blowfish in 2006. The idea for their quirky name came from seeing blowfish swimming in the water along the shore, and young surfer ladies with an eye for cool fashions were the brand’s original target market. But unlike iconic surfing label O’Neill, Blowfish found a different niche.

Ladies, not laddies, first

Today, Blowfish exclusively concentrates its sales on young women who like a seemingly casual look which is combined with a very distinctive and stylish twist. Old familiars like sandals are revisited with new and attractive materials and fixings. Although they are reasonably practical, the unusual and original Blowfish look is just as quirky as Rocket Dog and just as individual and unique as Converse.

Blowfish products

The Blowfish brand has a wide range of offerings stretching from colourful flats dressed in unusual fabrics through to half and full-length leather boots that would not be out of place down on the farm, although it is very unlikely that many of them will actually find their way there! Even the humble sandal comes in a vivid range of colours to match almost any clothing combination. Fun is something that always springs to come to mind when looking at the distinctive Blowfish range.

Buckle Up Your Style With Blowfish

Clean, minimalist shoes are great. They’re sleek and straightforward, and their simplicity draws your attention to the details of their craftsmanship. But sometimes, we want a shoe that plays a starring role in our outfit, not a supporting role—and that’s where Blowfish comes in. With an offering that spans a variety of silhouettes, plus the brand’s signature, buckle detailing, Blowfish shoes can add interest to a range of ensembles to keep you looking cozy and stylish.

From rugged biker boots to sleek, polished wedges, there’s a Blowfish shoe for just about every aesthetic. Read on and discover our tips for styling your Blowfish shoes.

Biker Boots

Your personal style is effortless with a bit of toughness, so a pair of calf-length ankle boots is right up your alley. Choose a pair in black and make them your go-to for every casual occasion. For a quick trip to run errands, followed by a meal with your best friend, pair them with a long-sleeved, flowy shift dress in black. The hardness of the boots combined with the softness of the dress will create the perfect balance. Once you’re set, throw a printed crossbody over your shoulder and you’re ready to head out.

Platform Ankle Boots

Think buckle detailing only works for casual occasions? Well, think again. Make the signature detail work for date night with a pair of chunky-heeled, platform ankle boots with exposed zippers. Wear them with a long-sleeved, midi-length turtleneck dress for a sleek silhouette with some bite. Stash your night-out essentials into a printed clutch and you’re all set for a romantic evening.

Wedge Ankle Boots

Meet the girls for Saturday brunch in a chic, yet casual ensemble that’ll carry you from the restaurant to a day spent exploring the city. Pull on a black, button-up blouse and dress it down with a pair of patchwork-denim overalls. Slip into a pair of suede, wedge ankle boots in gray for an added bit of walkable height and finish your look with a black tote.

There’s nothing wrong with a streamlined shoe, you just prefer footwear with a bit more interest. Once you add a pair of Blowfish shoes to your wardrobe’s rotation, you’ll wonder how you managed to go buckle-free for so long.
