Comfort & Wide
Shoes is proud to offer Florsheim Shoes in our San Diego Shoe
Store. 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, Florsheim Shoes 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 Shoes product line. Now, the partnership that
would help Florsheim Shoes grow from a small factory into a
brand and organization valued and respected all over the
world was firmly in place.
In May of 2002, the Florsheim Shoes trademark returned to
its roots when purchased by Weyco Group. Weyco Group,
located in Glendale, Wisconsin, is currently the
headquarters of Florsheim Shoes. The senior officers of the
company are fifth generation Florsheim and proud to carry on
the family tradition. They are committed to making
Florsheim Shoes the leading dress and casual footwear brand
by creating shoes that embrace Florsheim Shoe’s heritage of
quality and craftsmanship and incorporate the latest in
comfort technology and styling.
Florsheim Shoes knows that every foot is different that is
why they make their shoes in lots of different sizes and
widths. Florsheim makes their men’s shoes in sizes 5 through
18. Florsheim makes their men’s shoes in widths very narrow,
