generations will look to Florsheim for dress,
business casual and weekend casual shoes. One
thing is for sure, there is more to come.
In
1892, Milton Florsheim began producing shoes in
a small factory located not a hundred yards from
our present corporate headquarters. 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.
