About
Florsheim
In 1892, Milton Florsheim began producing shoes in a small
factory located in Chicago, Illinois. The first pairs of Florsheim
shoes made by Milton and his father, Sigmund, were a remarkable
combination of style, comfort and high quality workmanship.
Milton realized from the very beginning that a high quality
product was only one of the factors necessary for success.
He understood that a strong distribution network was the other
key component and would be essential in making certain his
exceptional footwear found its customers. Accordingly, he
provided support that enabled a number of entrepreneurs to
establish retail businesses which made Florsheim shoes readily
available to the consumers in hundreds of small towns and
villages across the nation.
Thus, the Florsheim company was formed on the breakthrough
ideas of mass-producing shoes of exceptional quality, and
the establishment of a strong, entrepreneurial dealer network.
Not surprisingly, this combination was an immediate success.
Around the turn of the century, the company began exploring
other innovative methods of distributing and selling its shoes
that would enhance the already established network. These
included expanding wholesale distribution to metropolitan
areas around the country, and the opening of a series of company-owned
retail outlets. These outlets became the Company's Flagship
stores that displayed and sold the entire Florsheim product
line. Now, the partnership that would help Florsheim grow
from a small factory on Clinton and Adams Streets in Chicago
into a brand and organization valued and respected all over
the world was firmly in place.
Over the years, Florsheim innovation has continued, and the
partnership has flourished. Committing considerable resources
to research and development, the company has produced a continuous
flow of product and distribution breakthroughs. These include
significant new footwear design and manufacturing processes,
as well as the pioneering use of new systems to make the selling
of our shoes much more efficient. Using advanced electronic
technology, we've recently created the unique "Florsheim
Express Shop" which allows our retail partners to place
the entire Florsheim stock line at their customer's fingertips.
Through strong ideas like this, we will continue to forge
even closer partnerships with our loyal dealers. In addition,
we will continue to deepen our understanding of our customers'
lifestyles and needs. Our on-going research into improved
comfort and fit will expand. Our unparalleled selection of
styles and sizes will grow. And our commitment to quality
will never falter. Because even with all our success, we have
never and will never change the fundamentals upon which Milton
Florsheim established his company. (The preceding About Florsheim
