Walk-Over is
a historic American shoe brand known for its durable, high-quality footwear, with a rich vintage market focusing on styles from the early 20th century through the 1980s. Founded by George E. Keith in Brockton, Massachusetts (often citing a heritage back to 1758, though the brand gained prominence later), Walk-Over became famous for its "Vel-Flex" insole and durable construction, particularly in men's oxfords, saddle shoes, and "dirty bucks".
