Do you offer extended sizing?

Yes! We offer shoes ranging from very narrow to very wide, as well as variety of smaller and extra-large sizes. We advise utilizing the helpful filters within our shoe categories to select your exact size to find the most relevant product selection.

Size Scale: What do width letters mean?

We use two size scales: AA, A, B, C, D, E, 3E, 5E and N, M, W.

AA, A = Very Narrow
B, C, N = Narrow
D, M = Medium
E = Wide
3E, W = Wider
5E = Very Wide

I ordered a 3E width and received a W width.

They are the same thing! We utilize two different size scales. W and 3E both signify a WIDE width.

Are your shoes "Airport Friendly"?

We manufacture footwear with both metallic and non-metallic shanks and eyelets, so we are unable to guarantee that our footwear is "Airport Friendly".

We have a licensee agreement with Warson Group, Inc. for our work boots/safety boots. Please visit www.warsonbrands.com for more information.

What shoe care products should I have on hand?

Here's what we recommend when it comes to keeping your shoes in top shape:

Shoe horns: Shoe horns should always be used when putting on your shoes as they prevent damage to the heel.

Shoe trees: Shoe trees preserve the shape of your shoes and reshape them after wear helping to keep them looking new longer.

A soft shoe brush or a microfiber cloth: Have a general brush that can be used on any type of shoe material, though having a specific shoe brush for every material is ideal.

Protectant / water repellent: Helps protect shoes of all materials from normal wear and tear, weather and stains — to help them stand the test of time. Look for a protectant designed for leather, suede/nubuck or knit/canvas.

Cleaning kit: Make things easy and get a specialized cleaning kit, which will include all the materials you need to keep your shoes looking brand new.

What can I do to extend the life of my shoes?

Our shoes are handcrafted with the goal of craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Here are a few tips that will help ensure your shoes and boots stick around for a long while:

Tip 1: Pretreat your shoes for all-weather protection and clean/polish your shoes frequently
Buy a specialized protectant spray for all-weather protection before wearing your shoes out of the house. Use a shoe brush or a microfiber cloth to give your shoes a quick clean frequently after wearing. This will prevent dirt or grime from being ground into the leather over time. Keep up with regular maintenance, like polishing leather shoes, to keep them looking good as new.

Tip 2: Don't leave them in the sunlight
Direct sunlight and high heat can cause dry rot and crumble leather, so store your shoes in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Tip 3: The shoe horn, an essential tool
A shoe horn should always be used when slipping on your shoes. A shoe horn allows to easily slip on your shoes without damaging the heel counter.

Tip 4: Air them out at the end of the day
After a long day, let your shoes breathe. Perspiration is absorbed by the insole during your day. Give any moisture time to evaporate before putting in shoe trees. If they are wet from inclement weather, stuff them with newspaper and let them air out in a cool, dry place.

Tip 5: Invest in shoetrees
Shoetrees preserve the shape of your shoes. Made of cedar, they erase odors and absorb moisture.

Tip 6: Don't wear the same pair of shoes everyday
To maintain their shape and extend their life, don't wear the same pair of shoes every day.

How long does it take for a shoe to dry after cleaning?

Drying time depends on two factors: humidity and material. If the air is heavy, it can take up to several days for your shoes to dry. If possible, we recommend leaving your shoes to dry in a spot that's cool and dry. Pack your shoes with newspaper to help absorb moisture and to avoid direct sunlight. Some materials dry faster than others.

How do you recommend cleaning suede/nubuck shoes?

Our shoes are handcrafted with the goal of craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Here are a few tips that will help ensure your shoes and boots stick around for a long while:

Step 1: Wipe off the dirt
When you start to notice dirt and stains, first ensure your shoes or boots are completely dry. Then, use a suede-cleaning brush, toothbrush or any soft-bristled brush, to brush (in the direction of the grain) to loosen any dirt or mud.

Step 2: Clean the stains
To spot clean, buy a suede/nubuck cleaner, or try to sprinkle baking soda on the stains and rub it in with the soft brush. For more stubborn stains, pour a little white vinegar on a clean cloth and gently wipe the affected areas. Pencil erasers can be quite handy in getting stains out as well! Do not submerge your suede or nubuck shoes in water.

Step 3: Let them dry
Pack your shoes with newspapers and let your shoes dry in a cool place, out of direct sunlight.

How do I clean and polish leather shoes?

Step 1: Remove the laces from your shoes
This prevents the laces from getting wet or stained with shoe polish. Sometimes they also need to be cleaned. If they are dirty, be sure to put them in the wash (in a mesh bag) or replace them with a new pair.

Step 2: Brush off dirt and grime
Dirt weakens the fibers of your leather shoes and causes cracks, so use a soft-bristled cleaning brush to remove any dirt, mud or salt from the surfaces of your shoes. Brushing off the dirt every time you wear them will make it easier to clean and polish your leather shoes afterwards.

Step 3: Use soap to remove persistent stains
Soak a cloth or soft brush in water with some soap and wipe the outer surfaces of the leather shoe. Be careful not to get the leather too wet. It's best to repeat the process using less water and soap, rather than using too much at once. When treating persistent stains or scratches, dab them. If they still don't come out, rub the stain gently with a little pressure.

Step 4: Wipe off the soap
Once all the stains are removed, wipe off the soap with a dry cloth. Wait until the surface is dry enough to begin waxing.

Step 5: Use shoe polish and apply it with a shoe brush
Use a colored or clear shoe polish with a clean cloth (even an old clean t-shirt will do the trick!) to apply the polish in circular motions all over the shoe. This will nourish the leather, protect the shoes from stains and revive the color.

Tip: Test the shoe polish on a small area to make sure it doesn't cause discoloration.

Step 6: Make sure your shoes shine
When you're done, let the shoe polish sit for a few minutes. Then, take a new clean cloth or shoe polish brush to make the shoe shiny with short strokes.

Step 7: Let your shoes dry
Let your shoes air dry in a cool place. Don’t place them in the sun or near a heat source because this can cause discoloration or cracks in the leather.

Step 8: Spray with a protective spray
When your leather shoes are clean and shiny, spray them with protectant. It will make your shoes soft, supple and waterproof. For best results, hold the can at least one foot from your shoes for even application.

How do I clean knit shoes?

Step 1: Get your materials ready
Dilute some detergent — about a teaspoon — in a bowl of cool water.

Step 2: Prep your shoes
Remove the laces and stuff the shoe with a cloth or mall towel. This will provide resistance while you applying pressure to the outside of the shoe and absorb any excess liquid.

Step 3: Brush off dirt and grime
Dip another cloth into the detergent solution, wring it out and rub the dirty area of the shoe. Use moderate pressure, being careful not to snag the fabric.

Step 4: Wipe off the soap
Once the shoes are dirt-free, rinse the cloth and go over the entire shoe again to remove any soapy residue.

Step 5: Get rid of stubborn stains
Use an old toothbrush or a soft brush if the shoes are very dirty to continue working the detergent solution into the shoe.

Step 6: Let your shoes dry
Pat the shoes with a dry cloth and allow them to air dry in a cool place (avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat like a hairdryer).

Tip: If your shoes are still dingy, repeat this process again.

How do I clean canvas or mesh shoes?

Step 1: Remove laces and insoles
Remove the laces and insoles from the shoes (if they have removable insoles.

Step 2: Wipe off the dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothbrush to remove dirt and grime from your shoes.

Step 3: Rinse
Dip a brush or soft cloth in a mix of laundry detergent or soap with warm water. Wipe in circular motions, working the stains out as you go. Clean the shoes thoroughly with a new cloth to remove any soapy residue. Then, use a dry towel to absorb as much water as you can from the shoes.

Step 4: Dry
Stuff some newspaper into each shoe to help absorb excess moisture and hold the shape of the shoes while they dry. Allow your shoes to dry completely, which could take from a few hours to a couple of days depending on the humidity in a cool, dry place.

Can I put my shoes in the washing machine?

It can be tempting to throw your shoes into the washing machine, but some materials fare better than others. Here’s a helpful checklist to help you with your washing ways:

Washing Machine Chart

Tips:

1. Wash them alone to decrease the chances of catching on a zipper or button. We recommend putting the laces in a mesh washing bag so they don't end up wound around the shoe or disappear in the machine.

2. Use cold water, the gentle cycle, and a small amount of gentle laundry detergent. Avoid the use of bleach and stain removing pretreatments.

3. Air dry. If necessary, reshape by stuffing the damp shoes with balled up newspaper or small towels.

What is the best way to clean white shoes?

The best way to clean a pair of white shoes (which we know can get dirty fast) depends on the material. We’ve broken it down by material to ensure your white shoes are staying spic and span.

White Leather

1. Clean surface-level dirt:

Wet a paper towel or a soft cloth, squeeze out excess water.

• Gently wipe down the outside of your shoes. This will help remove any big pieces of dirt that are caught on different parts of the shoe. After this process, let your shoes dry for 10 minutes.

2. Use a shoe eraser

Wet your shoe eraser and squeeze out any extra water.

Run shoe eraser up and down the soles of your shoes until the dirt and stains go away.

Make sure that your shoe eraser is damp, but not dripping all over your shoes. Apply enough pressure to remove the stain, but not too much as you could scuff the material.

Apply some soap on a soft and wet cloth and squeeze out any extra water. Scrub up and down the soles of your sneakers or shoes until the dirt and stains are gone. Try to use enough pressure to remove the stain, but not too much as you could scuff the material.

3. Scrub with soap

Take a rag or cotton shirt and lather it up with a basic white, solid soap.

Then, in a gentle motion, massage the upper part of the shoe until it returns to its perfect white color.

Finally, wipe away any excess soap with the rag.

4. Dry

Pack your shoes with newspapers and let your white shoes dry.

Depending on how dirty your shoes are, you may need to repeat this process a few times.

Suede/Nubuck White Shoes

1. Begin by blotting

Blot your shoes with a soft cloth to help remove any moisture.

Then, gently rub any stains with a pink pencil eraser.

2. Dry with a paper towel

Place a paper towel onto any wet stains and apply pressure.

Make sure not to rub the dirt and stains, as they could spread across the shoe.

3. Get rid of remaining stains

Dip your soft cloth into white vinegar and very gently rub any remaining stains.

Once you've done that, you'll want to allow your shoes to dry and then rub the outside of each shoe with a suede brush. This will help them get that velvety texture back.

4. Dry

Pack your shoes with newspapers and let your white shoes dry.

Canvas/Mesh/Knit White Shoes

1. Combine all of your materials

Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with two tablespoons of white vinegar and a cup of warm water.

Let the foam settle down before going on the next step.

2. Start scrubbing

Dip a rag or clean toothbrush into the baking soda and vinegar mixture of the previous step and scrub away the dirt on your shoes. The mixture will dry pretty quickly.

Once you're finished scrubbing, brush off any remaining paste and let your shoes air dry.

3. Dry

Pack your shoes with newspapers and let your white shoes dry.

Tip: If you don't have baking soda and white vinegar, you can also try using generic dish soap and water.

How do I earn Rewards Points?

Just shop with us and you'll begin earning Rewards Points!

$25 reward for every 300 points

How else can I earn Reward Points?

We want to say "Thank You" for your honest opinion after you try out your Florsheim purchase! 50 points will be added to your Florsheim Rewards Account for every product review you submit! There is no time limit between when you order the product and your review – you will receive points. You can only review a product once for points, unless you order it twice and review after each purchase. You can receive points for multiple reviews per order, but not multiple reviews of the same product in one order. It may take a few weeks for your review to be logged, and points to be awarded to your account on Florsheim.com.

Your most current and up-to-date Reward Points balance will be reflected in your account once your order has shipped.

Do my Rewards Points or Reward Credit expire?

No! Your Reward Points and Reward Credit will never expire.

What happens to my Rewards Points if I return or exchange items?

Returns will result in point decrements at the point where the return is indicated; exchanges will be 1:1 points, so if more money is spent, then you get the points for the incremental dollars and vice versa.

Florsheim Sustainability / ESG

What is Florsheim’s approach to Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)?

Our strategy focuses on everything from our footwear materials, our factory partners, our offices and operations, to our people and communities. We pledge to never pay lip service to the cause, but rather maintain transparency and set concrete goals.

Where are your products manufactured? What about the materials that you use in your footwear and are any environmentally preferred?

Florsheim products are manufactured in Cambodia, China, India, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. For our products made with leather, we source more than 75% of our product from Leather Working Group (LWG) approved tanneries. This percentage will continue to grow as we move to exclusively source from tanneries that comply with LWG standards. As part of our efforts to use environmentally-preferred materials, we are working to better share information for the materials we use on our websites. This BOGS web page examples where we are headed and information we would like to provide for each brand.

Florsheim is also increasing efforts to source and use environmentally-preferred materials with recycled, organic, or bio-based features and technologies. We have established an environmentally-preferred materials guide with standards based on FDRA best practices and leading certifications. Our current goal is to ensure that at least 25% of all products meet environmentally-preferred material minimums by 2025.

Does Florsheim have a social compliance program and manufacturing code of conduct? What are you doing to ensure worker health and safety?

Florsheim works only with suppliers who are transparent about their practices in addition to complying with local laws and regulations. Our Florsheim Responsible Sourcing Program aims to protect and promote sustainable working conditions as well as identify and address modern slavery and human trafficking. You can read more about the program here.

What is Florsheim doing to lessen its impact on the environment? Are you measuring and offsetting your greenhouse gas emissions?

Our current efforts include:

  • Tracking >90% waste diversion in our Milwaukee distribution center and corporate offices
  • Sourcing 85-90% Forest Stewardship Council-certified recycled paperboard, soybean-based inks and natural glues in our packaging
  • 50% reduction in cardboard waste and 30% reduction in shipping volume
  • Completed the Higg Brand & Retail Module (BRM) and set annual sustainability improvements
  • Installing solar panels at our Milwaukee office that supply 10% of our total energy
  • Purchasing renewable energy certificates to ensure that our electricity is provided from renewable sources
  • Replacing majority of the lighting throughout our office and distribution center with low energy-use LEDs
  • Utilizing UPS’s Carbon Neutral Program to offset shipping emissions from our Milwaukee distribution center

We are working to measure greenhouse gas emissions and establish reduction targets for Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions in accordance with GHG Protocol. For our Milwaukee distribution center and corporate offices, we have partnered with WasteCap to help divert even more waste from landfills, incineration and the environment and achieve a zero-waste certification. We’d also like to expand participation in the Shoe Factory Waste Program across all five brands with our factory partners and utilize tools like the Higg Facility Environment Module to track all factory partners and strategic material suppliers.

What is Florsheim doing to support its local community? Do your employees volunteer in the community?

Community involvement is a cornerstone of the Florsheim mission. Each year we dedicate two weeks to raise money for the United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County. Since 2004, we have donated over $3 million in cash contributions and counting. We grant our employees time off to volunteer– this has resulted in a 25% participation rate among employees. Florsheim also provides up to two matching gifts for employee’s personal donations to any local non-profit organization dedicated to children’s education.

Florsheim proudly supports Wisconsin Business Leaders for Democracy. As part of their state-wide effort, we introduced our Voter Turnout Initiative. Leading up to elections, employees are sent information on voter registration, locations and important dates. We offer onsite voter registration in our Milwaukee facility and time off for voting and transportation to voting sites.

What is Florsheim doing to support diversity, equity and inclusion?

Florsheim has partnered with Ridley Consulting Group to understand how to best incorporate DEI practices into our work and everyday interactions.

Our current approach includes the following steps:

  • Aligning our company leaders on what DEI means for Florsheim and what success looks like
  • Launching an organization-wide Culture of Belonging Survey to identify DEI areas of strength and improvement and how that contributes to an employee’s sense of belonging
  • Developing a long-term roadmap for Florsheim and its employees as we continue to implement DEI best practices into our departments

Does Florsheim have a chemical policy or restricted substances list (RSL)?

The Florsheim Chemical Management Policy is informed by AFRIM RSL global standards and voluntary restrictions. We are in the process of phasing out the use of PFAS/PFC-based water repellents and antimicrobials odor control. We also plan to incorporate the use of bio-based alternatives using >22% bio-based alternatives to EVA/PU in insoles, midsoles and outsoles.

How are you educating and helping consumers extend the life of your products, e.g., care & use instructions?

Part of the Florsheim guarantee is long-lasting shoes, but there are practices that can help extend their life. We’ve updated our Care & Use FAQs to provide guidance to consumers. You’ll find those care recommendations here.
