Western Footwear

Our mission, to inspire people to feel great...feet first, includes wanting our stakeholders to feel great about working at Western Footwear Limited (WFL), doing business with us, and having us in their communities. Since the founding of our company, the ‘WFL’ mark has symbolized a promise to customers that they can trust the superior craftsmanship of our shoes. But today, our customers, Associates, shareholders, business partners, and neighbors need to trust not just our products, but the company and the people behind them.

In the footwear industry, end-to-end visibility into the supply chain is challenging. That’s why many of our ESG goals intentionally focus on high-impact areas of opportunity, namely the materials that go into our products, their by-products, and supply chain labor standards. By 2025, we will use environmentally preferred materials to produce all our products and packaging, and we will ensure all our operational works around the globe comply with leading global work standards. I have no doubt that our team will bring to bear the incredible creativity and dedication shown throughout our history, especially this past year, to accomplish these goals.

The global COVID-19 pandemic, economic recession, and national reckoning with racial injustice pushed us to think differently and continuously revisit our priorities in 2020. As a company, we recommitted ourselves to rising consciousness about the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion. Our team demonstrated the WFL value everyday-even as we were tested by new ways of working, furloughs, salary reductions and layoffs—and presented in the face of adversity.

Moving forward, the pace of change and innovation will not show for WFL. We will continue to pursue our strategic goals with the same ferocity and passion that the brilliant people of WFL demonstrated during the COVID. That is our promise to you.

Thank you for your interest in our journey.
