History

Aokang was founded in 1988 by Wang Zhentao in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, an area known for its footwear manufacturing. Starting as a small workshop, the company quickly expanded its production and retail presence. In the 1990s, Aokang established itself as a national brand, leveraging aggressive marketing and a franchise model. By the 2000s, it had become one of China's largest shoe manufacturers. In 2012, Zhejiang Aokang Shoes Co., Ltd. was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code 603001). The company has since diversified its product lines and invested in brand building, including partnerships with international designers and sports organizations. Aokang has also been involved in social responsibility initiatives and industry associations.
