Skechers Shoes

Skechers is a prominent American lifestyle and performance footwear company, renowned worldwide for its comfortable and stylish designs. The brand was established in 1992 by Robert Greenberg, who had previously founded L.A. Gear. Initially focusing on utility boots and skate shoes, Skechers quickly pivoted to a broader athletic and casual footwear market, eventually becoming one of the largest footwear brands in the United States and globally.

While the brand's creative design and corporate strategy are led from its headquarters in Manhattan Beach, California, the actual manufacturing is diversified across several international locations. Most production takes place in Asian countries such as Vietnam, China, and Indonesia, which allows the company to scale its vast catalog of over 3,000 styles. Skechers remains an independent, publicly traded company (SKE), maintaining full ownership and control over its global distribution and brand development without being under a larger fashion conglomerate.
