Caleres, Inc
A maker and seller of shoes for the whole family, Caleres runs the Famous Footwear retail chain and owns brands like Naturalizer and Sam Edelman, sold in stores and online across the US and Canada. It began in 1878 as Bryan, Brown & Company, a St. Louis shoe workshop founded by George Warren Brown, and became the Brown Shoe Company in 1893 before renaming itself Caleres in 2015 to shed its old-fashioned image. Fun fact: its Naturalizer brand, launched in 1927, was the first footwear line designed to fit the contours of a woman's foot.
