The Hyde Company” was the key to making the company famous.

The relationship with the American shoemaker Hyde is inseparable when discussing the company’s history. The Hyde Company was founded in 1910 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and manufactured shoes for indoor use, but after 1930 they began to develop shoes for sports use, and in 1968 Hyde acquired the less well-known, but still high quality, company, Succany. In 1968, Hyde acquired the company, which manufactured high quality shoes but was still not well known. From this point on, the sneakers produced by Hyde were unified under the brand name “Succany. This led to the spread of the “Succaneer” name throughout the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that if it had not been for the Hyde Company, the current “Succaneers” would not have been born. In 1998, the company changed its name to “Succaney. Today, the company continues to develop high quality shoes for the world.
