Rooted in Italy. Loved Globally

Calzuro shoes are the brainchild of Gianfranco Bidoia, the original owner and CEO of Bihos SRL in Padova, Italy. He recognized the need for a new type of footwear that would meet the changing needs of the medical profession by offering healthcare workers clean, comfortable footwear. In 1983, he used an innovative co-polymer rubber compound to create a product that is sterilizable, autoclavable, antistatic, and remarkably comfortable. Medical professionals everywhere embraced the new innovation, and Calzuro has since expanded its distribution worldwide.

Wynne Family Ownership

Terry Wynne started the U.S. distributorship in 1987. His wife, Jenifer, joined the business in 1996. It all began with a chance meeting between Wynne and Bidoia at an annual hospital convention in Germany. Bidoia was looking for sales and distribution of his company’s new footwear. Wynne was
seeking new opportunities for his specialty medical device distributorship. The two collided, and it was the beginning of a partnership that has lasted for more than four decades.

In 2023, Ryan Wynne acquired Calzuro, marking the second generation of Wynne ownership.  Having grown up in the business, Ryan is committed to the same high level of customer service and values that his parents instilled in the company from its inception.     

Today, the Calzuro brand is trusted by medical professionals, comfort seekers, and creators throughout Italy, the U.S., and around the globe. The Calzuro brand has grown well beyond the original clog, thanks in large part to the many new styles and colors that have been added to the selection.  

We look forward to many more years of bringing you the best Italian-made footwear designed for the medical profession — and those who simply want to be kind to their feet.   

Did you know that each year, Americans contribute to an alarming statistic by throwing away a staggering 300 million pairs of shoes? At Calzuro, our goal is to make sure that no shoe bearing the Calzuro logo ends up in landfills - preventing the release of harmful substances into the environment. 



Instead of ending up in landfills where they contribute to pollution taking 30 years to decompose, your Calzuro shoes can be recycled efficiently and sustainably.
