Socrates once said, “When our feet hurt, we hurt all over.” No one understands this better than the Schwartz family who, for three generations, has spearheaded unrivaled innovations in pain-relieving footwear and foot care products through their Teaneck, New Jersey-based company, Aetrex Worldwide, Inc.
Founded in 1946 and committed to Foot Health for Three Generations, Aetrex is a $60 million dollar family-owned corporation widely recognized as the global leader in pedorthic footwear and foot orthotics. Originally known for the landmark development of arch supports and medically-oriented footcare products, followed by numerous innovations in the over-the-counter insole market, Aetrex is now on the fast track toward major industry and consumer recognition in the U.S. and throughout the world. The company’s innovative new lines of fashion-forward high performance sport, dress and casual footwear for men and women, are creating a high level of industry “buzz” – and have arrived just in time to appeal to a massive, aging Baby Boomer generation that will no longer settle for “your grandfather’s footwear.”
