Coward Shoe Company was founded in 1866 by James S. Coward (1847–1923), a prominent American shoemaker and orthopedics expert. The address on the label, 264-274 Greenwich Street, was the company's flagship and only location for several decades. For over 30 years, their "special" shoes were only available directly from this store or through mail order. Known for the "Coward Good Sense Shoe," the brand specialized in footwear designed to fit the natural shape of the foot, featuring innovations like the Extension Heel for weak arches and custom bunion shoes.
