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. This tradition continues today with the Florsheim family's commitment to producing trend-right, high quality footwear. Florsheim shoes are always available in a wide range of sizes and widths. 100% Leather Imported Rubber sole Heel measures approximately 1.25" Leather uppers with handsewn construction and metal bit accent Breathable leather lining with Comfortech cushioned insole Durable and lightweight non-leather sole
