Tip Top Shoes was founded in 1940 by Ruth Ruth Pfiferling in New York, New York. The company operates several shoe stores, including the original location, that has stood the test of time. The Wasserman family purchased the store from Pfiferling in the early 1940’s and retain ownership of it still.
Tip Top Shoes has built a reputation of recognizing popular shoe styles before they are popular. They were the first store in the US to carry UGGS, Birkenstock, and Jacques Cohen espadrilles. In 1998, the company opened a store for children only, and recently opened another that caters strictly to work shoes and work boots.
The company president estimates that 60% of their business is word of mouth, but he is surprised by the pick up of internet sales.
