Pavers Shoes

Pavers Shoes is a prominent British footwear brand known for its emphasis on comfort and style. Founded in 1971 by Catherine Paver in York, England, the business began with a small bank loan and has grown into one of the UK's leading family-run shoe retailers. The brand originally started by hosting shoe parties and selling clearance stock before opening its first physical store in Scarborough in 1982.

Today, the company remains under the management of the Paver family, with headquarters still located in York. Ownership is held by Pavers Holdings Limited, ensuring the founder's legacy continues through her descendants. The brand has expanded significantly, acquiring other well-known names like Jones Bootmaker and Herring Shoes to diversify its portfolio. While the brand's design and operational heart is in the United Kingdom, manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries, including operations and sourcing from India and China, reflecting its global retail presence and supply chain.
