The Florsheim Lakeside is a timeless offering boasts lacing around the topline for that signature boat-shoe look and contrast stitching for casual appeal. A sure-footed sole glues your feet to slippery docks or sidewalks. In 1892, Milton Florsheim began producing shoes in a small factory located in Chicago, Illinois. The first pairs of Florsheim shoes made by Milton and his father, Sigmund, were a remarkable combination of style, comfort and high quality workmanship. This tradition continues today with the Florsheim family's commitment to producing trend-right, high quality footwear. Florsheim shoes are always available in a wide range of sizes and widths.
