About Us

Joseph P. French founded his shoe company in the early 1860's to manufacture the very finest footwear for the gentlemen of the 19th century.  French was joined in 1881 by Charles J. Shriner, who was also accomplished in shoe manufacturing. Together they developed the quality that was to become synonymous with the French Shriner Brand name. 

​Today at French Shriner, we continue to integrate new technologies and use meticulously tooled and honed leathers in creating each French Shriner dress and casual shoe.
