History
Vanderloop Shoes has been family owned and operated since 1945. The company originated from a small shoe repair business located in the corner of the Little Chute General Store in downtown Little Chute. George Vanderloop Sr. bought the retail store operation in 1945 and renamed the company Vanderloop Shoes.
George Vanderloop Jr. acquired the shoe business from his father in 1966. During his 22 years of ownership, he introduced the industrial footwear sector to Vanderloop Shoes.
Today, the company is in its third generation of ownership, having been acquired by the current owners in 1988. Since then, more retail locations have been added:
- Vanderloop Shoes Green Bay - Western Ave (1990)
- Vanderloop Shoes Appleton (2003)
- Vanderloop Shoes Industrial Milwaukee (2007)
- Vanderloop Shoes Green Bay - Oneida Street (2011)
- Vanderloop Shoes Industrial Little Chute - Moasis Dr (2015)
In 2021, the Moasis Drive store underwent a remodel and expansion. In Fall 2021, the downtown Little Chute store relocated to join the Moasis Drive store in Little Chute. We also operate eight safety footwear trucks that sell footwear to industrial accounts in Wisconsin, Upper Michigan and Illinois.
