About The Position

Some things remain timeless. That's how we feel about our traditional 212-step manufacturing process that has been our basis for handcrafting premium men’s footwear & accessories in the U.S. since 1922. We feel a sense of pride that comes with making our shoes in the same way for over 100 years.
As a Production Worker at the Allen Edmonds Manufacturing & Production Facility, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the manufacturing and production processes for our high-quality men's footwear.

We take immense pride not only in the craftsmanship of our footwear but also in the vibrant and supportive company culture we've cultivated. Our workplace is known for being a second home, where associates often retire after long, fulfilling careers. This is a testament to the close-knit, family-oriented team environment we've nurtured over the years. If you're looking for a place where your skills and dedication can flourish, and where you can become a part of our legacy of excellence, we encourage you to come and join us. Your journey towards a rewarding career starts here!
