“We are truly honored to be named Company of the Year by Footwear News. When Skechers  first won this top award in 1998, we felt the Company was in an incredible position with great growth potential as a leader in the lifestyle footwear world” commented Michael Greenberg, President of Skechers. “That proved to be true, but 16 years later SKECHERS is a different brand and company. We have redefined our brand with innovative lines that make comfort stylish, and our global sales driven by our in-demand footwear—coupled with this Company of the Year recognition—is a testament to the entire organization that has made this happen, as well as our supportive partners around the world.”

This honor follows the award of Brand of the Year given to Skechers GO in 2013, by the same publication.

 “Skechers continues to demonstrate complete mastery of the marketplace by offering the right product at the right price at the right time”, stated Michael Atmore, Editorial Director, Footwear News. “A strong management team and powerful numbers reflect a tightly run organization that knows how to mine every opportunity in a rapidly changing retail environment.”

“With three consecutive record quarters, Skechers is on track to reach a new annual revenue record for 2014. This is due to our diverse product offering and on-target marketing that has lead to growth in our domestic and international wholesale businesses plus our Company-owned retail business”, commented Robert Greenberg, CEO of Skechers. “We are designing the most innovative collection of footwear in the Company’s history. We have a respected and recognized group of celebrities that are now supporting our brand – from sports legends like Joe Namath and Meb Keflizighi, to music powerhouses like Demi Lovato and Ringo Starr, among others. We are proud of all that we have achieved, but we believe this is just the beginning. We won’t be resting on the laurels of this success as we plan to continue running full throttle across the board to make 2015 our best year ever.”
