When entrepreneur Victor Lee noticed that local stores were selling clothes and accessories mostly for women, he decided to put his best retail foot forward and open a shop for men's shoes.
Mr Lee told The Straits Times that when he was looking around Singapore shops about 10 years ago, "85 per cent would be for ladies and then as an afterthought the rest would be dedicated to men".
