Knapp Shoes

Elwin and Clarence Knapp established the Knapp Brothers Shoe Manufacturing Company in 1921. Because of our excellent reputation for superior craftsmanship, quality, comfort and durability, Knapp continues to be the biggest direct selling firm in the world. This quote is from a 1985 Knapp Shoes catalog, with over 120 styles to choose from. Carrying on with family traditions, Jim Gordon (father, Robert) Avram Grossman (father, Louis) Mathew Galvin (grandson of Elwin Knapp) and a few former Knapp employees.
