Wolf & Shepherd was born from a simple idea: that premium comfort can and should exist in classic dress shoe styles. After spending years designing footwear for Adidas, Reebok, and New Balance, Justin Schneider realized none of the brilliant innovations driving the athletic shoe industry forward were being applied to dress shoes. Our mission to make work more comfortable has fueled Wolf & Shepherd since it’s inception, and will always be our commitment to you.

"When a luxury shoe company boasts that its dress shoes are as comfortable as sneakers and can perform just as well, it better be able to back up its claims. Wolf & Shepherd, a one-year-old Florida-based company founded by a former Notre Dame decathlete, silenced any doubters when 23-year-old Juris Silenieks crossed the finish line of the Hotlanta Half Marathon on Sunday in a time of 1:17:05, winning the race and setting the unofficial Guinness World Record for the fastest half marathon in dress shoes. Yes, there is such a thing." - Forbes

What started as a wild idea from a brainstorm had us on a plane to Pamplona, Spain not ten days later. Running with the bulls was unlike any we could have imagined. Exhilarating, chaotic, and certainly eye-opening, it gave us new perspective for the traditions other cultures hold so dear. The resulting Toro Collection was an ode to the experience - a favorite collection among our team.
