Do you know the bally shoes?

Bally Shoes have been popular with many people before 150 years. Today, because of the design and quality, Bally Shoes are becoming the king of shoes. Have you think of why Bally is so famous when you walk around wearing them?

About Bally, there is a very romantic story. In a day of 1850, Carl Franz Bally found a shoes store on the street of Paris when he traveled for business. His attention was attracted by a pair of perfect shoes. So, he intended to buy them for his wife. But he forgot her size. At last, he had to buy all shoes of the styles. This beautiful meeting with perfect shoes made a mind for him to produce the high-class shoes of the world. After one year, the first bally shoes were produced.

The Bally Shoe Company was founded as "Bally & Co" in 1851 by Carl Franz Bally and his brother Fritz in the basement of their family home in the Canton of Solothurn, Switzerland. In 1854, a shoe factory was set up in the village but Fritz Bally left the fledgling business and Carl Franz Bally carried on under the corporate name "C.F. Bally." By the 1860s Bally employed more than 500 people. Within another decade it had built an international reputation for quality and design in both men's and women's bally shoes and expanded operations outside of Switzerland to Buenos Aires, Argentina; Montevideo, Uruguay; and Paris, France. In North America, Bally has a boutique in Atlanta, Beverly Hills, Boston, Costa Mesa, Honolulu, Houston, Las Vegas, Ledyard, McLean, New York City, and Panama City.

Carl Franz Bally died in 1899 and his sons carried on with the business. Although the Bally family maintained voting control, in 1907 "C.F. Bally & Co. Ltd." went public, their shares listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange. The added capital allowed massive expansion for their much-in-demand shoes and by 1916 they employed more than 7,000 people.
