Comfort-shoe giant whose GO RUN line undercuts the running majors
The LA Gear founder started again in Manhattan Beach in 1992 and built a large footwear brand on casual comfort. The performance division put Meb Keflezighi in GO RUN shoes and still prices them well below the specialists, with wide and extra-wide fits as standard and 45-day free returns (90 for members). Taken private by 3G Capital in 2025; shoes come from audited independent factories in Asia that are never named.
