Born
is a leading manufacturer of genuinely superior
comfort footwear for men, women, and children.
The line was created to fill a void in the footwear
industry during a time when consumers demanded
comfort, but had to sacrifice style in order to
get it. The goal of Born footwear is to continue
to focus on offering customers everywhere a brand
that first and foremost provides comfort, but
is also fashionable and fun to wear. Why are Born
shoes so comfortable? By using the art of Opanka
hand-sewn construction combined with the finest
quality materials, Born is able to craft shoes
that are durable, lightweight and flexible, allowing
the wearer to walk as if they were barefoot. In
addition, soft supple leathers and shock-absorbing
foam ensure the foot is wrapped in comfort. Born
shoes have been sold in premier retail stores
since 1995 and their appeal to a variety of lifestyles
continues to attract customers old and new. They
offer a wide selection to men and women of style
who have a young, free-spirited attitude about
their footwear and lifestyle. Born shoes are Works
of Art worn by all age groups, and their styles
are as versatile as their customer base is diverse.

The
year was 1999, and our founder Nick Swinmurn was
walking around a mall in San Francisco, looking
for a pair of shoes. One store had the right style,
but not the right color. Another store had the
right color, but not the right size.
Nick
spent the next hour in the mall, walking from
store to store, and finally went home empty-handed
and frustrated.
At
home, Nick tried looking for his shoes online
and was again unsuccessful. Although there were
a lot of "mom and pop" stores selling
shoes online, what was interesting to Nick was
that there was no major online retailer that specialized
in shoes.
So,
since it was 1999 and anything seemed possible
at the time, Nick decided to quit his day job
and start an online shoe retailer... and Zappos
was born!
