We are the manufacturer and sole distributor of Scholl footwear for Australia and New Zealand.

Our History
100 Years of experience - Science at the service of feet. Our founder, Dr. William Mathias Scholl wanted to understand the structure and biomechancis of feet in relation to the body - his passion and values still live with us today.
1899
In Chicago, at the age of 17 William moved to work in a small shoe shop specialising in comofortable footwear. He was so intrigued by the number of people he met who had painful foot conditions that he enrolled in medical school to focus on the anatomy and physcology of feet.
1912
Putting science at the heart of inventing and developing products, William Scholl founded the Illinois College of Chiropody and Orthapedics. The college went on to become one of the most important teaching institution in its field in the USA. He offered free foot examinations and in doing so, helped develop the philosophy that lead to improving ones health, comfort and wellbeing in relation to feet.
1920's
William created the first line of footwear designed to care for feet. A decade later Dr. Scholl brought out compression hosiery for the relief of swollen ankles and varicose veins. In the 40's insloes were created and marketed, soon to become one of the company's bestsellers.
1960's
We boomed. Scholl's Pescura sandals were developed with an anatomically crafted beechwood foot-bed, helping to tone the legs at every step. An international success, with celebrities like Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton wear them, turning them into a style and comfort icon.
1968
William passed away, aged 86. His lifelong quest: "How to improve people's comfort, health and wellbeing by caring for their feet?" was left to his company and we're still dedicated to this same quest.
2004
We celebrated Scholl's centenary with a new brand identity, a new generation of footwear that ensures maximum comfort whilst still being fashionable and innovative.
Today
Scholl's history continues with it's founder's same passion and philosophy to improve the health, comfort and well-being of people by caring for their feet.
