Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas

You’ve left it to the last minute again and don't know what to get your main dude for Father’s Day. Thank goodness for us, we’ve got you covered yet again.

Casca shoes

These kicks will appeal to tech savvy Dads that have a soft spot for ethically produced, sustainably made goods. The Casca philosophy is centred around having less, so you can do more. This means the creators of Casca have packed a tonne of functionality into shoes that will service Daddy-O’s everyday needs. The minimalist design aesthetic will allow him to tip toe between the office and casual events without a shoe swap pit stop. And thanks to mountaineering grade soles and weather resistant leather, crappy weather won’t get in his way.

The tech hits the spot with a virtual shop, app and video so Dad can scan his big old feet and get 3D printed insoles that make for the perfect fit. He can choose between ethically produced leather or a light weight knit shoe. Seeing as you probably don’t have time to hit up the brick-and-mortar Casca Laboratory on 4166 Main Street in Vancouver, BC before Dads big day, you should take note that these killer kicks are made for all humans, so pencil in a visit nice and soon.
