A Brief History of Scholl Sandals
Scholl isn’t just another footwear brand it’s one of the most iconic names in comfort fashion. Founded in 1899 by podiatrist William Scholl, the brand became globally recognised in the late 1950s and 60s with the launch of its original wooden exercise sandal.
The now-famous Pescura sandal, with its sculpted wooden sole and leather strap, was designed to encourage better posture and muscle tone while walking. What began as a health-focused shoe quickly became a fashion statement. By the 1960s and 70s, Scholl sandals were everywhere from beaches to city streets and they’ve remained a style staple ever since.
