Golo Footwear
Golo Footwear is a fashion company established in 1915 by Adolf Heilbrunn, who was 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,[1] and clear lucite sandal wedges.[2]
