Florsheim Imperial

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.

But shoes were not the only things Milton was building. He realised from the very beginning that a high quality product was only one of the factors necessary for success. A strong distribution network would be essential in making certain his exceptional footwear found its customers – entrepreneurs and self-starters in big cities and small towns across a fast growing nation.

First established as a men’s footwear brand, Florsheim has since evolved, launching a women’s line in 2003. The women’s collection demonstrates the same high quality, hand crafted premium footwear. Once again encompassing Florsheim’s attention to detail, comfort and of course, style.

Though the specific shoes may change from season to season and year to year, all Florsheim shoes, designed for both men and women, are shoes of distinction.
