About The Knapp Store Online   Elwin and Clarence Knapp founded the Knapp Brothers Shoe Manufacturing Company in 1921. "Because of our outstanding reputation for superior craftsmanship, quality, comfort and durability, Knapp continues to be the largest direct selling company 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, are doing everything possible to deliver you the Knapp styles you have come to enjoy year after year and pair after pair. The Knapp Store is dedicated to my father, Louis Grossman. He was well known as "Lou, the Knapp Shoe man" to the hundreds of services stations, auto dealers and "garages" around greater Los Angeles, and is remembered for his wonderful smile. From around 1954 until his death in 1997, and after 20 years of "retirement," my father continued to sell Knapp products. (Shown here with his wife Sylvia) And, in fact I grew up wearing, and continue to wear Knapp Shoes. It is with this web site that I am proud to honor my father, Louis Grossman, and continue his legacy of selling a quality product to a specialized market place. As an Internet web developer and a Knapp Counselor (# C1654, Avram Grossman), I developed the first Knapp Shoe web site in 1995 which was later redesigned for Knapp Shoes, Inc., which was then acquired by Iron Age Corporation. In January 2007, Iron Age Corporation filed for bankruptcy and Knapp Shoes became an American legacy. However, the Knapp reputation for being a high-quality product serving a specialized market could not easily be defeated by a bankrupcty. I, together with several former Knapp Shoe employes and sales councelors, are rebuilding the Knapp brand, one customer at a time. It is with extensive knowledge of e-commerce web site design and knowing the Knapp product line that this site seeks to offer you, the Knapp Shoe customer, the easiest way in which to order your shoes, belts and accessories from Knapp. Once your place an order, your billing, shipping and past order information is saved so that the next time you want to re-order your favorite shoe, or order a new shoe, your shopping and checkout experience will be a simple one. Where to contact me I welcome your comments about this web site, and look forward to receiving your suggestions for improvement. As your Knapp Counselor, I am pleased to help you in any way I can.
