Old but Gold: Celebrating Our Long-Standing Partnership with Drew - TLW Shoes
At The Light Walk, we believe in the value of tradition, quality, and comfort, which is why we are proud to have partnered with Drew Shoe Corporation for nearly as long as we've been in business. With a history spanning 145 years, Drew has perfected the art and science of therapeutic comfort footwear, making them a cornerstone in our collection.

The Legacy of Drew

Drew isn't just a brand; it's a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. Since its founding in 1875 by Irving Drew, the company has been dedicated to creating footwear that not only looks great but also addresses the specific needs of those requiring special care for their feet. From diabetic and arthritic conditions to everyday comfort, Drew has become synonymous with shoes that are both functional and stylish.

The Drew Collections

The Drew brand offers an extensive range of footwear, from casual to athletic, dress shoes to sandals, all designed with over 20 performance features. These include added depth for orthotics, removable insoles that inhibit bacteria growth, and wide toe boxes for extra comfort. Drew's commitment to quality is evident in every pair, making them a leader in the diabetic footwear market with over 100 styles qualifying for reimbursement under the Therapeutic Shoe Bill.

The Barefoot Freedom® Collection

Drew’s Barefoot Freedom® collection is a standout, designed for women who demand both style and comfort. Originally a sandal line, this collection now includes a wide range of footwear that combines detailed stitching, superior leathers, and innovative design features. With hard-to-find sizes and a focus on health benefits, Barefoot Freedom® is perfect for those who want to look great while staying comfortable.
