Footwear Icons

For more than 40 years, founders Sam and Libby Edelman have been a force to be reckoned with in contemporary fashion. Throughout their careers, the Edelmans have touched some of the world’s most influential brands, including Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Candies, Kenneth Cole and Esprit. Their eponymous brands Sam & Libby, Sam Edelman and Circus NY have disrupted the attainable luxury space, forging a path for aspirational fashion, quality and value. Over their careers, Sam and Libby have been celebrated with our industry’s great recognitions, including Nordstrom’s Partner in Excellence, Footwear News Brand of the Year, and a seat on the Accessories Council Hall of Fame. The Edelmans have also been heralded by their customers, who have afforded them countless successes like the Hazel - the #1 dress pump in the United States, the Gigi – one of our industry’s most recognizable and iconic items ever sold, and the Bow Ballet – the iconic ballerina with more than 5 million pairs sold worldwide.
