  • SKECHERS U S A INC Profile

    Skechers' chairman and CEO Robert Greenberg knows how to land on his feet. The founder of 1980s icon L.A. Gear heads up Skechers, which sports a line of trendy footwear (oxfords, boots, sneakers, sandals, and semi-dressy shoes) geared toward teens and young adults. Skechers (street slang for "can't stand still") are sold through department and specialty stores, as well as about 190 company-owned stores (mostly outlets) and its Web site. Its manufacturing is outsourced primarily to Chinese contractors. Greenberg and his family control about 90% of Skechers' voting power. In recent years Skechers has entered into dozens of licensing agreements for men's, women's, and children's apparel.
