It all started in 1922, when three smart businessmen invented a new brand name: Mr. Hans Rollman, Mr. Karl Michael and Mr. Karl Kaufmann decided to use the 1st two letters of their surnames to create the brand name RO MI KA. The remarkable and simple character of these 6 letters became a synonym for high quality, premium footwear products worldwide. It was Mr. Rollmann and his partners who invented many new materials and constructions like foam rubber or Vibram. Now, 85 years later Romika is one of the most popular brand names ever in the worldwide shoe industry.
