Merrell Shoes Corporate Office

Merrell Shoes was founded in 1981 by Clark Matis, Randy Merrell, and John Schweizer. The trio wanted a better quality hiking boot than they were able to find at a shoe or sporting goods stores. Merrell was already making very expensive hiking boots, and with Matis and Schweizer’s help, they designed a high-quality boot that was more affordable.

Today, the company sells not only hiking boots but all around sneakers, sandals, uniform boots and shoes, as well as children’s shoes and clothing. Merrell Shoes acts as a subsidiary of Wolverine World Wide, who purchased the company in 1997. In 2010, the company had annual revenue of more than $500 million. Company products are sold in more than 151 countries and online.

In 2018, Merrell president Sue Rechner said in an interview that she was concerned about Trump’s lack of balance when it came to decision making.

Merrell Shoes has headquarters in Rockford, Michigan. The company has more than 116 stores around the globe and has plans to add 20 – 25 new stores every year.
