Caleres forms new men’s and international division
Footwear group Caleres, formerly Brown Shoe, has appointed Malcolm Robinson as president of its new men’s and international division.

In his new role, Mr Robinson will oversee “strategic growth initiatives” for the men’s brands in the Caleres portfolio. This includes Allen Edmonds, the high-end leather shoemaker that Caleres acquired for $255 million in December 2016.

He will also work to expand the international footprint for the company’s brand portfolio.

“Malcolm brings over three decades of deep experience in men’s apparel, brand positioning, merchandising and managing global brands,” said Diane Sullivan, CEO, president and chairman of Caleres. “I’m delighted to have him join us, and to add this role, which will position us to build on our successes in the two significant areas of potential in men’s footwear and the international arena.”
