A lot of life left in these quality all-leather vintage dress shoes Brief History Florsheim & Co. was founded in Chicago in 1892 by Milton S. Florsheim. The company marked its shoes with its name and assisted stores in promoting them. By 1930, Florsheim was making women\'s shoes and had five Chicago factories and 2,500 employees, with 71 stores partly or entirely company-owned and 9,000 stores around the US selling Florsheims. Milton Florsheim died in 1936 and was succeeded by his son Irving. In 1946, his younger son Harold became president with Irving Florsheim becoming chairman. In 1953, International Shoe Company, the world\'s largest shoe maker, bought Florsheim for $21 million. Three years later, Florsheim became a division, continuing to operate as a separate entity. Florsheim eventually sold women\'s shoes through Thayer-McNeil stores, also owned by International Shoe (by this time called Interco). ,
