Established 1878

The
Architecture
of Motion.

We believe that footwear is the foundation of self-expression. At Caleres, our work is the quiet engineering of movement—building pieces that allow people to navigate their worlds with intent.

"We don't just assemble shoes; we curate a portfolio of movement. Our mission is to help people live their lives to the fullest through the simple, profound act of walking well."

A Century of Craft

Our story began over a century ago with a commitment to quality that remains unchanged. What started as a singular focus on footwear has evolved into a global ecosystem of brands, each serving a distinct purpose in the modern wardrobe. From the performance-driven technology of Vionic to the contemporary silhouettes of Sam Edelman, our approach is defined by precision and a deep respect for materials.

We operate at the intersection of heritage and innovation. This means honoring the 90-year legacy of Naturalizer while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of sustainable design with Blowfish Malibu. It is a balance of aesthetics and anatomy, ensuring that every brand under our roof delivers an exceptional experience for the wearer.

Today, Caleres serves customers across the globe through a multi-channel network of retail stores, digital platforms, and wholesale partnerships. We remain dedicated to the belief that style should never be a compromise on comfort, and that quality is the most sustainable choice one can make.

Intentional Curation

We manage a diverse range of brands, including Famous Footwear and Dr. Scholl’s Shoes, ensuring each occupies a unique market position while sharing a common standard of excellence.

Anatomical Focus

Innovation is found in the details. Our footwear integrates podiatrist-developed technology and ergonomic design to support the natural alignment of the body.
