Description
Aerosoles is a footwear brand specializing in ergonomic women's shoes. Its core aesthetic emphasizes functional design and understated styling. The brand represents a pragmatic subculture focused on physical comfort and daily utility, prioritizing flexible soles and cushioned footbeds over transient fashion trends.
History
Founded in 1987 by Jules Schneider in New Jersey, Aerosoles introduced patented construction techniques like the Stitch 'n Turn method to the mass market. This innovation allowed for greater flexibility in dress shoes. Historically, the brand contributed to the shift toward comfort-oriented professional attire for women. Following a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2017, the company underwent restructuring and was eventually acquired by American Exchange Group in 2022.
