Stay Timeless with America’s Shoes–Florsheim

Shop Florsheim

Good shoes have staying power–that’s why Florsheim has been around for 116 years.

In 1892, father and son Sigmund and Milton Florsheim began manufacturing shoes from a small downtown Chicago factory. Their vision was to provide their customers with a product offering better quality, comfort, and style than any of their competitors. Shoes with the name Florsheim quickly became sought after by men in cities throughout the country. To keep up with the demand, the company introduced a vast distribution network and the innovative concept of mass producing high-quality footwear.

As America changed, so did Florsheim. The company supplied shoes to American soldiers fighting in both world wars. Florsheim made it through the tough economic era of the ’30s, and as the years passed by, the brand flourished and grew. By the 1950s, a man could find the Florsheim shoe label displayed in shop windows across America, from the smallest towns to the largest cities. Over the years, numerous U.S. presidents, senators, mayors, entertainers, and athletes have proudly worn Florsheim footwear. The brand soon became known to many as “America’s shoes.”

As fashions changed, so did Florsheim. But the one thing that has never changed–and is still present in every pair of Florsheim shoes on the shelves today–is Sigmund & Milton Florsheim’s original vision. Over a century since its beginnings, Florsheim is produced with quality, comfort, and style, and Arrowsmith Shoes is proud to include them in our collection.

Today, Florsheim combines 21st century technology and old-world craftsmanship by offering these features:

• San Crispino construction for added flexibility, milled leather upper, fully cushioned footbed, sheepskin leather linings, and flexible latex rubber bottoms in its Florsheim line.
• Focusing on “contemporary casual styling,” the F-Sport line features a full-length ortholite® footbed, leather and sock linings, and flexible rubber bottoms.
• The Comfortech line features a Florsheim Comfortech® insole that incorporates advanced comfort and shock absorption via a removable, fully-cushioned footbed.
• The Florsheim Imperial line, which represents only the finest leathers and craftsmanship, offers such features as genuine handsewn moccasin construction, Goodyear Welt construction for exceptional durability, and full-leather linings.

So, what makes this line so special?

If you peek through a shoe store window on any given day somewhere throughout America, you will see a man buying a new pair of Florsheim shoes to celebrate his promotion; a high school senior choosing his first dress shoes to wear to the homecoming dance; or perhaps a father buying his son his first pair of Florsheim shoes, just as his father before him. They are the timeless choice. So choose wisely.

And lucky for you,  Arrowsmith Shoes brings the same shopping experience with Florsheim right to your home.
