Dr. Scholl's is a footwear and foot care brand owned by British-company SSL International and manufactured in China. Founded in 1906 by podiatrist William Mathias Scholl in Chicago, United States, the company expanded globally through his dual-talents to design and patent over 1000 footcare products, and find original ways to market. Having become a member of the Fortune 500 in 1971 following the death of Dr Scholl in 1968, it was bought by Schering-Plough, who under parent Merck & Co. continue to make shoes in China, and have a North American distribution agreement with the Brown Shoe Company. In 1984, Schering-Plough sold the global brand and non-North American operations to European Home Products, who today as SSL International continue to manufacture footwear and foot care products distributed under the Scholl brand.
