History
Back in 1917 when W.T. Willits founded the Willits Shoe Company in the small central Pennsylvania community of Halifax, shoes were made boot-tough and designed for rugged wear.
With the invention of new shoemaking machines in the late 1800's, mass production of shoes was well underway by the early 1900's and Mr. Willit's new company was able to produce about 300 pairs a day. It wasn't long before the Willit's Shoe Company gained a solid reputation for high quality all-leather footwear. That reputation and original dedication to detail, quality and service was responsible for the company's growth over the years.
