Florsheim was born to a Jewish family[2] in Montreal, Canada on July 27, 1868, the son of Henriette (née Nusbaum) and Sigmund Florsheim.[3] Shortly before he started grade school, the Florsheim family relocated to the Chicago area. He attended Chicago public schools.[3] He worked in his father's shoe store before founding Florsheim Shoes in 1892.[4] Florsheim was connected with the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Charities of Chicago and was a trustee of Northwestern University.
In 1894, he married Gertrude Stern; they had two sons, Irving S. and Harold Milton (1900-1987).[3][5][6][7] Harold was married to artist Claire Florsheim Zeisler. Irving's daughter Nancy married architect Bertrand Goldberg;[8] and Irving's daughter, Mary, was married to actor and singer Allan Jones.[9][10]
Florsheim died on December 22, 1936, in Los Angeles, California, aged 68.[4][2] He was interred at Rosehill Mausoleum in Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago.
