Our Heritage
Boc began as a small Spanish shoe company founded in 1973 by Antonio Segui. As a third-generation shoemaker, Antonio built upon his family’s expertise designing and handcrafting leather footwear in their hometown of Seville. The business eventually expanded across Europe under the name Bocacis, derived from the Spanish “boca” meaning mouth and “cis” meaning kiss – a nod to the distinctive lip-shaped heel found on early Bocacis clogs.
Expanding Globally
In 1979, Bocacis caught the eye of Vision Quest Industries, a U.S. footwear distributor looking to bring comfortable, fashion-forward European designs to the American market. A partnership was formed to introduce Bocacis shoes to consumers across North America.
The brand anglicized its name to Bøc and opened a U.S. headquarters in Massachusetts. Throughout the 1980s and 90s, Bøc gained a loyal following for their stylish spin on clogs, sandals and boots enhanced with comfort technologies. Antonio Segui continued leading European design and manufacturing while Vision Quest managed distribution and sales stateside.
Recent History
In the early 2000s, Bøc was acquired by Collective Brands, Inc. Operations moved from Massachusetts to their headquarters in Topeka, Kansas where the brand joined a portfolio including Saucony, Sperry and Keds. Bøc dropped the slashed ø and became simply Boc.
Collective Brands was purchased by Wolverine Worldwide in 2012. In 2015, Boc brand operations were shifted under their Sperry umbrella still based in Lexington, Massachusetts. Today, Boc continues thriving as a fashionable lifestyle brand grounded in quality craftsmanship and everyday comfort.
