History

Elbert W. Allen founded the company in 1922 in Belgium, Wisconsin. During World War II, the brand supplied footwear to the United States Army and Navy, which expanded its recognition. Historically, the brand is noted for its association with American political figures, including several United States Presidents. It remains one of the few large-scale manufacturers maintaining domestic production of Goodyear-welted footwear.
