Originally founded as Walk-Over Shoes, this all-American shoemaking institution can trace its roots back to 1758, when Benjamin Keith first started making shoes in the town of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Keith’s shoe-making techniques passed down from generation to generation until George E. Keith established the Walk-Over brand proper — the first shoe brand in America, in fact — in 1899. Ever since, Walk-Over has established itself as a go-to source for discerning fans of American-made shoes and boots, all the while remaining true to its mission to sell footwear “made to a standard, not a price.” Goodyear welt construction defines the brand’s Kelso boot, Zachary wingtip boots, and other styles; best-sellers like the Hathaway 100 sandals and Wilfred chukka boots are constructed from the highest-quality suede. Made in the USA, Walk-Over shoes and boots are built to last.
