	1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
	Weyco Group, Inc. designs and markets quality and innovative footwear for men, women and children under a portfolio of well-recognized brand names including: “Florsheim,” “Nunn Bush,” “Stacy Adams,” “BOGS,” “Rafters,” and “Umi.” Inventory is purchased from third-party overseas manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has two reportable segments, North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). In the wholesale segment, the Company’s products are sold to leading footwear, department and specialty stores primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas. Licensing revenues are included in the Company’s wholesale segment. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s retail segment consisted of 17 Company-owned retail stores and an internet business in the United States. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees. The Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”) and Europe. The majority of the Company’s operations are in the United States, and its results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and the retail environment in the United States.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries.
	Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents included investments in money market accounts and cash deposits at various banks.
	Investments — All of the Company’s municipal bond investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”) as the Company has the intent and ability to hold all bond investments to maturity. See Note 5.
	Accounts Receivable — Trade accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on trade credit terms. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews all significant accounts with past due balances, as well as the collectability of other outstanding trade accounts receivable for possible write-off. It is the Company’s policy to write-off accounts receivable against the allowance account when receivables are deemed to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balances. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other evidence currently available.
	Inventories — Inventories are valued at cost, which is not in excess of market value. The majority of inventories are determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. Inventory costs include the cost of shoes purchased from third-party manufacturers, as well as related freight and duty costs. The Company generally takes title to product at the time of shipping. See Note 6.
	Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation — Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 5 years; furniture and fixtures, 5 to 7 years.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”) if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. To derive the fair value, the Company utilizes the income approach and the fair value determined is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of each asset group is determined using the estimated future cash flows discounted at an estimated weighted-average cost of capital. For purposes of the impairment review, the Company groups assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In the case of its retail stores, the Company groups assets at the individual store level. In connection with the Company’s impairment review, the Company’s retail segment recognized an impairment charge of $93,000 in 2012 and $165,000 in 2011, which was recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. No impairment charge was recognized in 2013.
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not subject to amortization. Other intangible assets consist of trademarks, customer relationships, and a non-compete agreement. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets which are not amortized are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. See Note 8.
	Life Insurance — Life insurance policies are recorded at the amount that could be realized under the insurance contracts as of the date of financial position. These assets are included within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9.
	Contingent Consideration — The Company recorded its estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Bogs acquisition within other short-term accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On a quarterly basis, the Company revalues the obligation and records increases or decreases in its fair value as an adjustment to operating earnings. Changes to the contingent consideration obligation can result from adjustments to the discount rate, accretion of the discount due to the passage of time, or changes in assumptions regarding the future performance of Bogs. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration include a significant amount of judgment, and any changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the amount of contingent consideration expense or income recorded in a given period. See Note 11.
	Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 13.
	Noncontrolling Interest — The Company’s noncontrolling interest is accounted for under ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”) and represents the minority shareholder’s ownership interest related to the Company’s wholesale and retail businesses in Australia, South Africa and Asia Pacific. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company reports its noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reports both net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest and net earnings attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
	In accordance with the subscription agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Florsheim Australia Pty Ltd (“Florsheim Australia”) in January 2009, the Company’s equity interest in Florsheim Australia decreases from 60% to 51% of equity issued under the subscription agreement as intercompany loans are paid in accordance with their terms. To date, the Company’s equity interest in Florsheim Australia has decreased from 60% to 55% and the noncontrolling shareholder’s interest has increased from 40% to 45%. This change is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Equity.
	Revenue Recognition — Revenue from the sale of product is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the customer is obligated to pay the Company. Sales to independent dealers are recorded at the time of shipment to those dealers. Sales through Company-owned retail outlets are recorded at the time of delivery to retail customers. All product sales are recorded net of estimated allowances for returns and discounts. The Company’s estimates of allowances for returns and discounts are based on such factors as specific customer situations, historical experience, and current and expected economic conditions. The Company evaluates the reserves and the estimation process and makes adjustments when appropriate. Revenue from third-party licensing agreements is recognized in the period earned. Licensing revenues were $3.2 million in 2013, $3.3 million in 2012, and $3.4 million in 2011.
	Shipping and Handling Fees — The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues. The related shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company are included in selling and administrative expenses and totaled $2.7 million in 2013, $2.3 million in 2012, and $2.2 million in 2011.
	Cost of Sales — The Company’s cost of sales includes the cost of products and inbound freight and duty costs.
	Selling and Administrative Expenses — Selling and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs, distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection and warehousing costs), rent and depreciation. Distribution costs included in selling and administrative expenses were $10.8 million in 2013, $10.0 million in 2012, and $8.6 million in 2011.
	Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $11.4 million, $10.5 million, and $8.7 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All advertising expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses with the exception of co-op advertising expenses which are recorded as a reduction of net sales. Co-op advertising expenses, which are included in the above totals, reduced net sales by $4.3 million, $4.0 million, and $3.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Foreign Currency Translations — The Company accounts for currency translations in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”) under which non-U.S. subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year-end and income and expense accounts are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recognized as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of equity.
	Foreign Currency Transactions — Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Net foreign currency transaction losses totaled approximately $279,000 in 2013, $138,000 in 2012, and $197,000 in 2011.
	Financial Instruments — At December 31, 2013, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Florsheim Australia, had forward exchange contracts outstanding to buy $6.3 million U.S. dollars at a price of approximately $6.8 million Australian dollars. These contracts all expire in 2014. Based on year-end exchange rates, there were no significant gains or losses on the outstanding contracts.
	Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. See Note 16.
	Comprehensive Income — Comprehensive income includes net earnings and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Comprehensive income is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

	Net of tax			1,038			983

		-1	These amounts were included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 12 for additional details.
	Stock-Based Compensation — At December 31, 2013, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 18. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company’s policy is to estimate the fair market value of each option award granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The resulting compensation cost for both the options and restricted stock is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective awards.
	Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company had no individual customer accounts receivable balances outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 that represented more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance. Additionally, there were no single customers with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net earnings or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net earnings must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard was effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Reclassifications — Certain immaterial items on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were reclassified in the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net earnings or equity.

	Bogs
	On March 2, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of The Combs Company (“Bogs”) from its former shareholders for $29.3 million in cash plus assumed debt of approximately $3.8 million and two contingent payments which are dependent on Bogs achieving certain performance measures. In accordance with the purchase agreement, $2.0 million of the cash portion of the purchase price was held back to be used to help satisfy any claims of indemnification by the Company. The holdback was paid in full to the former shareholders of Bogs in 2012. The acquisition of Bogs was funded with available cash and short-term borrowings under the Company’s borrowing facility.
	At the acquisition date, the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the two contingent payments was approximately $9.8 million in aggregate. The first contingent payment was due in 2013 and was paid on March 28, 2013 in the amount of $1,270,000. The second payment is due in March 2016. For more information regarding the contingent payments, including an estimate of the fair value of the second payment as of December 31, 2013, see Note 11.
	Bogs designs and markets boots, shoes, and sandals for men, women and children under the BOGS and Rafters brand names. Its products are sold across the agricultural, industrial, outdoor specialty, outdoor sport, lifestyle and fashion markets.
	The acquisition of Bogs was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, the total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The Company’s final allocation of the purchase price was as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Cash	$	317
	Accounts receivable		3,839
	Inventory		2,932
	Prepaid expenses		15
	Property, plant and equipment, net		7
	Goodwill		11,112
	Trademark		22,000
	Other intangible assets		3,700
	Accounts payable		(454	)
	Accrued liabilities		(561	)
		$	42,907
	Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships and a non-compete agreement. Goodwill reflects the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets, and has been assigned to the Company’s wholesale segment. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For more information on the intangible assets acquired, see Note 8.
	The operating results of Bogs have been consolidated into the Company’s wholesale segment since the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the Company’s 2013 and 2012 results included Bogs operations for the entire year while 2011 only included Bogs operations from March 2 through December 31, 2011. Bogs wholesale net sales were $39.7 million in 2013, $36.4 million in 2012, and $28.0 million in 2011. There were also Bogs net sales included in the Company’s retail and other operating segments totaling $2.4 million in 2013 and $1.4 million in 2012.

	4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes the following three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the sources of data and assumptions used to develop the fair value measurements:
	Level 1 — unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are publicly accessible.
	Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3 — unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.
	The carrying amounts of all short-term financial instruments, except marketable securities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Marketable securities are carried at amortized cost. The fair value disclosures of marketable securities are Level 2 valuations as defined by ASC 820, consisting of quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. See Note 5.

		Unrealized Gains		Unrealized Losses		Unrealized Gains		Unrealized Losses
		(Dollars in thousands)
	Municipal bonds	$	1,348	$	—	$	2,473	$	200
	At each reporting date, the Company reviews its investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. To determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available evidence, including the issuer’s financial condition, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for any forecasted recovery. If a decline in value is deemed other-than-temporary, the Company records a reduction in the carrying value to the estimated fair value. In the third quarter of 2013, as part of this review, the Company concluded that the unrealized loss on one of its municipal bonds was other-than-temporary. The Company had been monitoring the status of the bond. In September 2013, a public notice was issued by the municipality that caused the Company to doubt the ultimate collectability of the full amount of the bond. Considering this, all prior public information regarding the bond, and the duration of the loss, the Company determined the unrealized loss on the bond was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, the Company wrote the bond down to fair value and recorded an impairment loss of $200,000. The loss was included within other (expense) and income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

	During 2013, there were liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared to the cost of fiscal 2013 purchases. The effect of the liquidation decreased cost of goods sold by $64,000 in 2013. During 2012, there were liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared to the cost of fiscal 2012 purchases. The effect of the liquidation decreased cost of goods sold by $104,000 in 2012. During 2011, there were liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared to the cost of fiscal 2011 purchases. The effect of the liquidation decreased costs of goods sold by $250,000 in 2011.

	The amortizable intangible assets are included within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9.
	The Company performs an impairment test for goodwill and trademarks on an annual basis and more frequently if an event or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Conditions that would trigger an impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of the asset.
	The Company uses a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment. The first step is to compare the applicable reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. The Company has determined the applicable reporting unit is its wholesale segment. If the fair value of the wholesale segment is greater than its carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying value is greater than the fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. The second step calculates the implied fair value of the goodwill, which is compared to its carrying value. If the implied fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. To date, the Company has never recorded an impairment charge on this goodwill.
	The Company tests its trademarks for impairment by comparing the fair value of each trademark to its related carrying value. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. To date, the Company has never recorded an impairment charge on these trademarks.
	The Company recorded amortization expense for intangible assets of $273,000, $273,000 and $228,000 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company anticipates future amortization expense to be as follows:

	11. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
	Contingent consideration is comprised of two contingent payments that the Company is obligated to pay the former shareholders of Bogs. The estimate of contingent consideration is formula-driven and is based on Bogs achieving certain levels of gross margin dollars between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. The first contingent payment was due in 2013 and was paid on March 28, 2013 in the amount of $1,270,000. The second payment is due in March 2016. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company remeasures its estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments at each reporting date. The change in fair value is recognized in earnings.
	The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows:


		31-Dec-13		31-Dec-12
		(Dollars in thousands)
	Current portion	$	—	$	1,270
	Long-term portion		5,064		4,991
	Total contingent consideration	$	5,064	$	6,261
	The current portion of contingent consideration was included within other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion was recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total contingent consideration has been assigned to the Company’s wholesale segment.
	The following table summarizes the activity during 2013 and 2012 related to the contingent payments as recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (dollars in thousands):


		2013		2012
	Beginning balance	$	6,261	$	9,693
	Payment of contingent consideration		-1,270		—
	Net losses (gains) on remeasurement of contingent consideration		24		(3,522	)
	Interest expense		49		90
	Ending balance	$	5,064	$	6,261
	The net losses (gains) on remeasurement of contingent consideration were recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
	The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a level 3 valuation as defined by ASC 820. The fair value measurement was determined using a probability-weighted model which includes various estimates related to Bogs future sales levels and gross margins. As of December 31, 2013, management estimates that the range of reasonably possible potential amounts for the second payment is between $2 million and $7 million.

	12. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS
	The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees, as well as an unfunded supplemental pension plan for key executives. Retirement benefits are provided based on employees’ years of credited service and average earnings or stated amounts for years of service. Normal retirement age is 65 with provisions for earlier retirement. The plan also has provisions for disability and death benefits. The plan closed to new participants as of August 1, 2011. The Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan is to make contributions to the plan such that all employees’ benefits will be fully provided by the time they retire. Plan assets are stated at market value and consist primarily of equity securities and fixed income securities, mainly U.S. government and corporate obligations.
	The Company follows ASC 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (“ASC 715”) which requires employers to recognize the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability in their statements of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur as a component of comprehensive income. In addition, ASC 715 requires employers to measure the funded status of their plans as of the date of their year-end statements of financial position. ASC 715 also requires additional disclosures regarding amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
	The Company’s pension plan’s weighted average asset allocation at December 31, 2013 and 2012, by asset category, was as follows:


			Plan Assets at December 31,
			2013			2012
	Asset Category:
	Equity Securities			56%			52	%
	Fixed Income Securities			35%			40	%
	Other			9%			8	%
	Total			100%			100	%
	The Company has a Retirement Plan Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to manage the operations and administration of all benefit plans and related trusts. The committee has an investment policy for the pension plan assets that establishes target asset allocation ranges for the above listed asset classes as follows: equity securities: 20% – 80%; fixed income securities: 20% – 80%; and other, principally cash: 0% – 20%. On a semi-annual basis, the committee reviews progress towards achieving the pension plan’s performance objectives.
	To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 7.75% long-term rate of return on assets assumption.
	Assumptions used in determining the funded status at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were:


			2013			2012
	Discount rate			5.03%			4.23	%
	Rate of compensation increase			4.50%			4.5	%
	The following is a reconciliation of the change in benefit obligation and plan assets of both the defined benefit pension plan and the unfunded supplemental pension plan for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

As of December 31, 2013, the total amount of unremitted foreign earnings was $6.2 million. A deferred tax liability has not been recorded on these unremitted earnings because the Company intends to permanently reinvest such earnings outside of the U.S. Future dividends, if any, would be paid only out of current year earnings in the year earned. If the remaining unremitted foreign earnings at December 31, 2013 were to be repatriated in the future, the related deferred tax liability would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

	The Company has two reportable segments: North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). The chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on earnings from operations and accordingly, interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. The “other” category in the table below includes the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe, which do not meet the criteria for separate reportable segment classification.
	In the wholesale segment, shoes are marketed through more than 10,000 footwear, department and specialty stores, primarily in the United States and Canada. Licensing revenues are also included in the Company’s wholesale segment. The Company has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, there was no single customer with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales.
	In the retail segment, the Company operated 17 Company-owned stores in principal cities and an internet business in the United States as of December 31, 2013. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to the consumer by Company employees. In addition to the sale of the Company’s brands of footwear in these retail outlets, other branded footwear and accessories are also sold.
	The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Summarized segment data for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	18. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
	At December 31, 2013, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans: the 1997 Stock Option Plan, the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2011 Incentive Plan (collectively, “the Plans”). Under the Plans, options to purchase common stock were granted to officers and key employees at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company issues new common stock to satisfy stock option exercises and the issuance of restricted stock awards. Awards are no longer granted under the 1997 and 2005 plans.
	Stock options and restricted stock awards were granted on December 2, 2013, and on December 1, 2012 and 2011. Under the 2011 Incentive Plan, stock options and restricted stock awards are valued at fair market value based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Under the 1997 and 2005 plans, stock options were valued at fair market value based on the average of the Company’s high and low trade prices on the date of grant. The stock options and restricted stock awards granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011 vest ratably over four years. Stock options granted between 2013 and 2011 expire six years from the date of grant. Stock options granted between 2006 and 2010 expire five years from the date of grant. Stock options granted prior to 2006 expire ten years from the grant date, with the exception of certain incentive stock options, which expired five years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2013, there were 118,300 shares remaining available for stock-based awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan.
	In accordance with ASC 718, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the 2013, 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements for stock options and restricted stock awards granted since 2007. An estimate of forfeitures, based on historical data, was included in the calculation of stock-based compensation, and the estimate was adjusted quarterly to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to materially differ, from such estimates. The effect of applying the expense recognition provisions of ASC 718 in 2013, 2012 and 2011 decreased Earnings Before Provision For Income Taxes by approximately $1,283,000, $1,201,000 and $1,224,000, respectively.
	As of December 31, 2013, there was $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted in the years 2010 through 2013 which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.9 years. As of December 31, 2013, there was $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted in the years 2010 through 2013 which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.1 years.
	The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine compensation expense related to stock options in 2013, 2012 and 2011:


			2013				2012				2011
	Risk-free interest rate			1.10%				0.51	%			0.66	%
	Expected dividend yield			2.53%				2.89	%			2.65	%
	Expected term			4.3 years				4.3 years				4.3 years
	Expected volatility			16.20%				26.4	%			29.6	%
	The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of the Company’s common stock in the year of grant. The expected term of the stock options is determined using historical experience. The expected volatility is based upon historical stock prices over the most recent period equal to the expected term of the award.
	The following tables summarize stock option activity under the Company’s plans:

At December 31, 2013, the Company expected 47,500 of shares of restricted stock to vest over a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.02 years. These shares had an aggregate intrinsic value of $1,398,000 at December 31, 2013. The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the market value of the Company’s stock on December 31, 2013 of $29.43 multiplied by the number of non-vested restricted shares outstanding. The income tax benefit from the vesting of restricted stock for the years ended December 31 was approximately $177,000 in 2013, $137,000 in 2012, and $158,000 in 2011.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents included investments in money market accounts and cash deposits at various banks.

Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Investments — All of the Company’s municipal bond investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”) as the Company has the intent and ability to hold all bond investments to maturity. See Note 5.

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable — Trade accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on trade credit terms. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews all significant accounts with past due balances, as well as the collectability of other outstanding trade accounts receivable for possible write-off. It is the Company’s policy to write-off accounts receivable against the allowance account when receivables are deemed to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balances. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other evidence currently available.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories — Inventories are valued at cost, which is not in excess of market value. The majority of inventories are determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. Inventory costs include the cost of shoes purchased from third-party manufacturers, as well as related freight and duty costs. The Company generally takes title to product at the time of shipping. See Note 6.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation — Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 5 years; furniture and fixtures, 5 to 7 years.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”) if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. To derive the fair value, the Company utilizes the income approach and the fair value determined is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of each asset group is determined using the estimated future cash flows discounted at an estimated weighted-average cost of capital. For purposes of the impairment review, the Company groups assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In the case of its retail stores, the Company groups assets at the individual store level. In connection with the Company’s impairment review, the Company’s retail segment recognized an impairment charge of $93,000 in 2012 and $165,000 in 2011, which was recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. No impairment charge was recognized in 2013.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not subject to amortization. Other intangible assets consist of trademarks, customer relationships, and a non-compete agreement. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets which are not amortized are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. See Note 8.

Life Settlement Contracts, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Life Insurance — Life insurance policies are recorded at the amount that could be realized under the insurance contracts as of the date of financial position. These assets are included within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9.

Contingent Consideration Policy [Policy Text Block]

Contingent Consideration — The Company recorded its estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Bogs acquisition within other short-term accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On a quarterly basis, the Company revalues the obligation and records increases or decreases in its fair value as an adjustment to operating earnings. Changes to the contingent consideration obligation can result from adjustments to the discount rate, accretion of the discount due to the passage of time, or changes in assumptions regarding the future performance of Bogs. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration include a significant amount of judgment, and any changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the amount of contingent consideration expense or income recorded in a given period. See Note 11.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 13.

Noncontrolling Interest Policy [Policy Text Block]

Noncontrolling Interest — The Company’s noncontrolling interest is accounted for under ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”) and represents the minority shareholder’s ownership interest related to the Company’s wholesale and retail businesses in Australia, South Africa and Asia Pacific. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company reports its noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reports both net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest and net earnings attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

In accordance with the subscription agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Florsheim Australia Pty Ltd (“Florsheim Australia”) in January 2009, the Company’s equity interest in Florsheim Australia decreases from 60% to 51% of equity issued under the subscription agreement as intercompany loans are paid in accordance with their terms. To date, the Company’s equity interest in Florsheim Australia has decreased from 60% to 55% and the noncontrolling shareholder’s interest has increased from 40% to 45%. This change is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Equity.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition — Revenue from the sale of product is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the customer is obligated to pay the Company. Sales to independent dealers are recorded at the time of shipment to those dealers. Sales through Company-owned retail outlets are recorded at the time of delivery to retail customers. All product sales are recorded net of estimated allowances for returns and discounts. The Company’s estimates of allowances for returns and discounts are based on such factors as specific customer situations, historical experience, and current and expected economic conditions. The Company evaluates the reserves and the estimation process and makes adjustments when appropriate. Revenue from third-party licensing agreements is recognized in the period earned. Licensing revenues were $3.2 million in 2013, $3.3 million in 2012, and $3.4 million in 2011.

Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Shipping and Handling Fees — The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues. The related shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company are included in selling and administrative expenses and totaled $2.7 million in 2013, $2.3 million in 2012, and $2.2 million in 2011.

Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cost of Sales — The Company’s cost of sales includes the cost of products and inbound freight and duty costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Selling and Administrative Expenses — Selling and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs, distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection and warehousing costs), rent and depreciation. Distribution costs included in selling and administrative expenses were $10.8 million in 2013, $10.0 million in 2012, and $8.6 million in 2011.

Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $11.4 million, $10.5 million, and $8.7 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All advertising expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses with the exception of co-op advertising expenses which are recorded as a reduction of net sales. Co-op advertising expenses, which are included in the above totals, reduced net sales by $4.3 million, $4.0 million, and $3.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency Translations — The Company accounts for currency translations in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”) under which non-U.S. subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year-end and income and expense accounts are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recognized as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of equity.

Foreign Currency Transactions Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency Transactions — Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Net foreign currency transaction losses totaled approximately $279,000 in 2013, $138,000 in 2012, and $197,000 in 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Financial Instruments — At December 31, 2013, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Florsheim Australia, had forward exchange contracts outstanding to buy $6.3 million U.S. dollars at a price of approximately $6.8 million Australian dollars. These contracts all expire in 2014. Based on year-end exchange rates, there were no significant gains or losses on the outstanding contracts.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. See Note 16.

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Comprehensive Income — Comprehensive income includes net earnings and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Comprehensive income is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss as recorded on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation — At December 31, 2013, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 18. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company’s policy is to estimate the fair market value of each option award granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The resulting compensation cost for both the options and restricted stock is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective awards.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company had no individual customer accounts receivable balances outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 that represented more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance. Additionally, there were no single customers with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net earnings or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net earnings must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard was effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications — Certain immaterial items on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were reclassified in the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net earnings or equity.
