We’re Brown Shoe

Brown Shoe Company is a consumer-focused, brand-driven global footwear company with a compelling portfolio of brands that people love and trust. Through our unique powerful platform -- comprised of partnerships with department stores, national chains and independent retailers on behalf of our footwear brands, as well as our own retail stores, catalogs and

Led by our more than 1,100 store Famous Footwear chain, Brown Shoe offers consumers attractive and convenient shopping environments in which to find fashion-right footwear and excellent value. Our footwear brands fill a broad range of consumer needs - from sophisticated fashion with Via Spiga and Vera Wang Lavender Label to comfort and style with Naturalizer and Franco Sarto, to the trusted comfort heritage of the Dr. Scholl's family of brands, to exciting celebrity artist collaborations like Carlos Santana and pop superstar Fergie. Each of our brands, both retail and wholesale, is tailored to fit the expectations and passions of a unique footwear consumer, and continually evolves along with them.

Brown Shoe maintains global operations in St. Louis, New York, Dongguan, Italy and Brazil in order to bring a truly worldwide perspective to our business. Through world-class sourcing and product development organizations, extensive research into marketplace and consumer insights, and collaborative relationships with both leading retailers and manufacturers of footwear, we deliver to our customers the right trends, at the right time, wherever they choose to shop.
