shoe market’s biggest names and have
chosen our favorites based on the
brand’s prominence popularity
profitability customer satisfaction and
influence on competitors however we’ve
excluded any names that primarily focus
on specialty Footwear such as boots and
heels unless they’ve also concentrated
just as much on everyday casual kicks so
as much as we love the warmth and
comfort of Uggs or the stylish hiker
shoes of Timberland they won’t be seen

wars the brand eventually began to cater
to the toes of athletes and as a part of
the endeavor invented the world’s first
running shoe with a ripple sole in 1960
which went on to be endorsed by
prestigious state university sports
teams like Tufts and MIT 7:58 11d today
New Balance continues to manufacture
many of its main products in the US with

it to the consumer with friend and
fellow dr. Herman Funke together they
built Martin’s into a brand known for
its air-cushion soles curvy structure
and leather material after becoming a
massive success throughout Germany in
less than a decade the company caught
the attention of British shoemakers our
Griggs group who added the distinctive
yellow stitching that has since become a
part of the brand’s identification there
was something that was it was outside of
society there was something for me that
represented revolution anarchy you know
being different like giving the middle
finger and while the Doc Martens brand

shoes particularly their 1460 ones found
popularity as quickly and easily as
their trademark Footwear and they’re
just as comfortable and durable as the
rest of the brand together for
