Shoe brands are companies that design, manufacture, and sell footwear, often building a reputation around a specific style, material, or use case. Some focus on performance, like Mizuno’s running shoes or Montrail’s trail runners, while others lean into fashion or comfort, like Manolo Blahnik’s handcrafted heels. A few have wild origin stories too: Moon Boot’s puffy winter boots started as a nod to astronaut gear and became a retro fashion staple decades later.
