Histori
Eneslow, originally known as N.S. Low, founded by Edward and Nellie Stone Low in 1909, sold rolls and surgical products on Avenue A. In 1914, Nat Low joined Edward Low, and the business was founded. Shoe department was introduced in 1926 amid the epidemic of infantile paralysis of America when braces and splints were a common remedy. The introduction of the shoe department is possible because Sol joins Eneslow. In the same year, Eneslow moved to 220 East 23rd Street.
In the 1940s, the company has attracted the attention of Paul Schwartz, who owns Apex Foot Health Industries wholesale business, which sells foot products, especially orthotics and arch supporters. As a wholeseller, he sells his products to Eneslow.
In 1968, Paul and Charles Schwartz bought the company and moved its headquarters to 695 6th Avenue. At that time, Eneslow has two other locations, one in Brooklyn since 1949 and one in the Bronx since 1937.
In 1973, Robert S. Schwartz (President and CEO) joined Eneslow after a 10-year career in sales and marketing.
In 1975, Robert S. Schwartz and his brother Richard B. Schwartz, each had 50 percent Eneslow and Apex. In the mid-1980s, when he and his brother, Richard, split the company, he became the sole owner of the retail division and turned Eneslow into a regional chain with eight stores. But when New York State slashed Medicaid reimbursements for medical shoes and orthotics, the company lost 50 percent of its business and Schwartz closed all but its store on 924 Broadway, NYC.
In 1983, the two businesses - Eneslow and Apex - were split; Robert S. Schwartz bought Richard B. Schwartz to gain full ownership. In 1985, Eneslow purchased the Classic Mold Shoe Company, a specially formulated and embroidered orthopedic shoe and sandal maker incorporated into the company. In 1995, the Eneslow Pedorthic Institute (EPI) was founded.
In 2003, the company purchased a retail store from Selby Fifth Avenue on the Horace Harding Expressway in Little Neck, Queens; changed his name to Eneslow and opened his second store. In 2006, the company moved the location of its old Broadway headquarters to Park Avenue South on 32nd Street. In 2009 Eneslow opened the third store on Upper East Side of Manhattan on Second Avenue between 78 and 79 streets.
