MIA founder and CEO, Richard Strauss, had a vision in 1976 – he wanted to create a more fashionable clog for the hipster crowd.  With limited resources and some retail experience, he headed to Sweden where he implemented his ideas and brought them back to the US.  An overnight success story, MIA Clogs soon became MIA Shoes and today, MIA is a multi-divisional fashion footwear company that designs for girls from newborn to the young at heart.  

MIA, one of the industry’s most successful women’s and kids lines in fashion footwear is headquartered in Miami where much of the local flavor inspires designers.  A New York showroom, east and west coast distribution, social media coverage, and a fun and interactive website keep MIA connected to its customers at both the retail and wholesale levels.

Manufacturing in China, Brazil, India, and Italy, MIA focuses its efforts in bringing quality, style, and comfort to its customers. With a collection of flats, heels, wedges, sandals, and boots, MIA is a versatile footwear house for today’s fashion conscious woman of every age.

With our world becoming a smaller market, MIA is thrilled to see its place as a leading US brand rapidly gaining recognition on an international scale. With Worldwide distribution MIA continues to deliver, season after season, a superior combination of quality, fit, comfort and fashion.
