The name Caleres comes from the Latin word calere – meaning to glow with passion or intensity. The word speaks to a culture that has propelled us through 140 years of success. With persistent determination, we have preserved the founding spirit that launched our company in 1878: a ferocity for crafting the perfect fit.

Today we are a diverse portfolio of global footwear brands, and every shoe we create benefits from the knowledge and skills gained over a century of design and craftsmanship. Looking ahead, we will continue to build a preeminent company recognized the world over for its tenacity and creativity in creating the perfect fit.
