The Man Who Cares

Who is the man who cares? He is the man who knows the importance of first impressions as well as the dangers of second guesses. He knows what he wants, where he's going and has a crystal clear vision for how to get there. The Man Who Cares knows the score. The Man Who Cares sets the agenda. And when you hear him speak, you know precisely where he stands. He is a firm handshake and a look square in the eye. He's a handwritten note in a sea of text messages. His confidence is infectious. He is yesterday. And today. And tomorrow. His style is timeless. His footsteps are the ones others follow. His shoes? They tell you all you need to know.

For over 100 years, Florsheim has been designing shoes for The Man Who Cares. Like us, he pays attention to the details. He appreciates true craftsmanship. He has a firm grasp on the merits of looking good. And he never cuts corners.

Design Process

Since Florsheim first began crafting shoes back in 1892, the essential components of footwear have remained the same. Soles. Heels. Uppers. Linings. But what can be created with these elements is constantly changing. Materials, colors and silhouettes are the variables that define new trends. But where do styles originate? What brings them to life? The imagination of our design team.

To begin the process of designing fresh looks for our collections, Florsheim sends our designers on inspiration trips. Traveling to select cities, they take in all they can. From architectural elements to emerging fashions. Everything that catches their trained eyes. Our design team also researches archival materials to find elements of the past that can be reinterpreted for today. Then, equipped with an eclectic collection of influences, our design team sets to work brainstorming and sketching until the styles for the upcoming season emerge.
