| Eastland Shoe Corp. of Freeport, Maine, was formed in 1955. (It has also been known as Eastland Shoe Manufacturing Corp.) Jonas B. Klein was one of the co-founders of Eastland, which would remain controlled by the Klein family through the end of the 20th century. The original Eastland factory was located a few blocks from the famous L.L. Bean store in Freeport. In 1964, the company opened a plant in the largely agricultural western Maine town of Fryeburg. This site was dubbed "Northland"; it produced golf shoes, other sport shoes, and casual shoes. Eastland originally produced shoes for sale under other brands. It introduced its own "Easysteps" label in the mid-1970s before trading this for the Eastland name. It continued to make private label shoes for discount chains, though by the mid-1980s its own brand accounted for 70 percent of sales. The company passed an important milestone in 2005: its 50th anniversary. By this time, James B. Klein had taken over as president from his father and company co-founder Jonas Klein, who remained chairman. "We want retailers to remember we've been around," said Jim Klein in Footwear News. "Our stability is good." At the same time, Eastland worked to keep its traditional styles updated. The company was then producing 1.5 million pairs of men's and women's footwear annually. | ||
