Golo Footwear established in 1915 Adolf Heilbrunn from Germany, Golo initially designed and manufactured slippers in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. The company was known for experimenting with materials not traditionally used in footwear, such as cork, stretch fabrics, Gore-Tex for rainboots, and clear lucite sandal wedges.

The footwear was photographed by some of the most admired photographers in the fashion industry, including Helmut Newton,Bert Stern,Hiro, and Richard Avedon.

There are presently 22 Golo boots, shoes, and sandals in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including an over-the-knee boot made of different-colored patent leather zip-on layers, stretch patent leather boots designed for Jacques Tiffeau in 1967, and the iconic denim platform boots designed by Leila Larmon and Stephen Bruce.
