Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1 Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of Caleres, Inc. ("the Company"). These statements, however, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company’s business is seasonal in nature due to consumer spending patterns, with higher back-to-school and holiday season sales. Traditionally, the third fiscal quarter accounts for a substantial portion of the Company’s earnings for the year. Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018 .

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2 Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and subsequently issued several ASUs to clarify the implementation guidance in ASU 2014-09 . Topic 606 provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, based upon the core principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the ASUs in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $4.8 million to reduce retained earnings, with a corresponding $6.4 million increase to other accrued expenses and a $1.6 million decrease to deferred tax liabilities. Adoption of the standard is not anticipated to significantly impact the statements of earnings on an ongoing basis. Refer to Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires recognition of the income tax effects of intercompany sales and intra-entity transfers of assets, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The ASU was adopted during the first quarter of 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $10.5 million , with a corresponding $5.4 million reduction to an income tax asset and a $5.1 million increase to deferred tax liabilities. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . The standard provides guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The ASU requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. The ASU also narrows the definition of a business by requiring a set of assets to include an input and at least one substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs for it to be considered a business. The Company adopted the ASU on a prospective basis during the first quarter of 2018, which had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The ASU amended Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits , to require employers that present a measure of operating income in their statements of earnings to include only the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in operating expenses (together with other employee compensation costs). The other components of net periodic benefit cost, including amortization of prior service cost/credit, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be included in non-operating expenses. The ASU was effective for the Company at the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year. The Company adopted the ASU during the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis using the practical expedient permitted by the ASU and reclassified $2.5 million and $7.6 million of non-service cost components of net periodic benefit income for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017 , respectively, to other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , $3.1 million and $9.3 million , respectively, of non-service cost components of net periodic benefit income is presented as other income. Refer to Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Entities will apply modification accounting if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. The ASU was effective for the Company at the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year. The Company adopted the ASU on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2018, which had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which amends the hedge accounting model in ASC 815 to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. The ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2018, which did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the ASU in the third quarter of 2018 on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Impact of Prospective Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The FASB has subsequently issued ASUs with improvements to the guidance, including ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements , which provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new standard. Under the new optional transition method, an entity initially applies Topic 842 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The ASUs are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the ASUs in the first quarter of 2019 using the optional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11. The Company's implementation team is developing and executing the plan to adopt the ASUs. The Company's accounting systems have been upgraded to comply with the requirements of the new standard and the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard on its leases and processes. The Company anticipates electing the package of practical expedients and the expedient to group lease and non-lease components as permitted within the ASU; however, it does not expect to elect the hindsight practical expedient. Due to the large number of retail operating leases to which the Company is a party, the Company anticipates that the impact to its condensed consolidated balance sheets upon adoption in the first quarter of 2019 will be material. The Company is still assessing the impact to the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Impairment charges related to underperforming retail stores are expected to be greater under the new standard due to the additional required right-of-use asset associated with each asset group. As the impact of the ASU is non-cash in nature, the impact to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is not expected to be material. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to trigger non-compliance with any covenant or other restrictions under the provisions of any of the Company’s debt obligations. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which more closely aligns the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for employees. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates that the adoption of the ASU in the first quarter of 2019 will not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Subtopic 715-20), Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The guidance changes the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans, eliminating the requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requiring new disclosures that the FASB considers pertinent. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisition of Blowfish, LLC On July 6, 2018 , the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with Blowfish, LLC ("Blowfish", or " Blowfish Malibu "), pursuant to which the Company acquired a controlling interest in Blowfish. The noncontrolling interest is subject to a mandatory purchase obligation after a three-year period based upon an earnings multiple formula, as specified in the Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price is estimated to be $28.1 million , including approximately $9.1 million preliminarily assigned to the mandatory purchase obligation, which will be paid upon settlement in 2021 . The remaining $19.0 million (or $16.8 million , net of $2.2 million of cash received) was funded with cash. The preliminary estimate of the mandatory purchase obligation, which is recorded within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, is presented on a discounted basis and is subject to remeasurement based on the earnings formula specified in the Purchase Agreement. Accretion of the mandatory purchase obligation and any remeasurement adjustments will be recorded as interest expense. The operating results of Blowfish since July 6, 2018 have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements within the Brand Portfolio segment. Blowfish Malibu, which was founded in 2005, designs and sells women's and children's footwear that captures the fresh youthful spirit and casual living that is distinctively Southern California. Footwear is marketed under the "Blowfish" and Blowfish Malibu" tradenames. The acquisition allows for continued expansion of the Company's overall business and provides additional exposure to the growing sneaker and casual lifestyle segment of the market. The Brand Portfolio segment recognized $0.9 million ( $0.7 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per diluted share) and $1.5 million ( $1.1 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per diluted share) in incremental cost of goods sold in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , respectively, related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment required for purchase accounting. In addition, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.1 million ( $0.1 million on an after-tax basis) and $0.3 million ( $0.2 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.01 per diluted share) in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , respectively, which were recorded as a component of restructuring and other special charges, net within the Other category. Refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the acquisition costs. The assets and liabilities of Blowfish Malibu were recorded at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The Company has allocated the purchase price as of the acquisition date, July 6, 2018, as follows: ($ thousands) July 6, 2018 ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,207 Receivables 4,612 Inventories 6,400 Prepaid expense and other current assets 317 Total current assets 13,536 Other assets 539 Goodwill 5,701 Intangible assets 17,600 Property and equipment 112 Total assets $ 37,488 LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Current liabilities: Trade accounts payable $ 2,915 Other accrued expenses 5,739 Total current liabilities 8,654 Deferred income taxes 617 Other liabilities 77 Total liabilities 9,348 Net assets $ 28,140 The assets and liabilities of Blowfish Malibu were recorded at their estimated fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill during the second quarter of 2018. The allocation of the purchase price was based on certain preliminary valuations and analyses. Any subsequent changes in the estimated fair values assumed upon the finalization of more detailed analyses within the measurement period will change the allocation of the purchase price and will be adjusted during the period in which the amounts are determined. During the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company recorded a purchase price allocation adjustment of $1.8 million to intangible assets, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The Company’s purchase price allocation contains uncertainties because it required management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments the Company used in estimating the fair values assigned to each class of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of its operations. Management estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows (Level 3 fair value measurements). Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy of the Company’s fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies. Goodwill and intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognized, which is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and an assembled workforce. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding goodwill and intangible assets. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , Blowfish Malibu contributed $6.4 million and $8.9 million of net sales, respectively. Blowfish Malibu experienced a net loss of approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, respectively. The loss primarily reflects incremental cost of goods sold related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment required for purchase accounting, which was $0.9 million and $1.5 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018. The net loss excludes the acquisition costs and incremental interest expense associated with the transaction. Acquisition of Vionic On October 18, 2018 , the Company entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the equity holders of Vionic Group LLC and Vionic International LLC, and VCG Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (collectively, " Vionic "), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Vionic Group LLC and Vionic International LLC and certain related intellectual property from VCG Holdings Ltd for $360.0 million plus adjustments for cash and indebtedness, as defined in the Agreement. The aggregate purchase price is estimated to be $360.7 million (or $352.2 million , net of $8.5 million of cash received). Of the $352.2 million , $344.9 million was funded during the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018 and $7.3 million was funded early in the fourth quarter. The purchase was funded with borrowings from the Company's revolving credit agreement. The operating results of Vionic since October 18, 2018 have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements within the Brand Portfolio segment. Vionic, which was founded in 1979, brings together style and science, combining innovative biomechanics with the most coveted trends. As pioneers in foot health with a global team of experts behind the dual gender brand, Vionic brings a fresh perspective to stylish, supportive footwear, offering a vast selection of active, casual and dress styles, sandals and slippers. The acquisition of Vionic allows the Company to continue to expand its portfolio of brands and gives it additional access to the growing contemporary comfort footwear category. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $4.1 million ( $3.5 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.08 per diluted share) in the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018, which were recorded as a component of restructuring and other special charges, net within the Other category. Refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the acquisition costs. In addition, the Brand Portfolio segment recognized $0.9 million ( $0.7 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per diluted share) in incremental cost of goods sold in the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018 related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment required for purchase accounting. Purchase Price Allocation The assets and liabilities of Vionic were recorded at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price as of the acquisition date, October 18, 2018, as follows: ($ thousands) October 18, 2018 ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,502 Receivables 28,930 Inventories 65,700 Prepaid expense and other current assets 1,489 Total current assets 104,621 Goodwill 148,763 Intangible assets 144,700 Property and equipment 6,864 Total assets $ 404,948 LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Current liabilities: Trade accounts payable $ 24,085 Other accrued expenses 16,632 Total current liabilities 40,717 Other liabilities - capital lease obligation 3,541 Total liabilities 44,258 Net assets $ 360,690 The allocation of the purchase price is based on certain preliminary valuations and analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing. Any subsequent changes in the estimated fair values assumed upon the finalization of more detailed analyses within the measurement period will change the allocation of the purchase price and will be adjusted during the period in which the amounts are determined.

The judgments the Company used in estimating the fair values assigned to each class of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of its operations. Management estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows (Level 3 fair value measurements). Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy of the Company’s fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies. A third-party valuation specialist assisted the Company with its preliminary fair value estimates for inventory and intangible assets other than goodwill. The Company used all available information to make its best estimate of fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognized, which is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and an assembled workforce. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding goodwill and intangible assets. Pro Forma Information The table below illustrates the unaudited pro forma impact on operating results as if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of 2017. Prior to the acquisition, Vionic’s fiscal calendar ended on December 31 of each year. For purposes of the financial information presented, the Company has combined the operating results of the relevant fiscal quarters for Vionic with the Company’s actual fiscal quarters. For example, the information presented in the thirteen weeks ended columns includes Vionic’s operations for the fiscal months of July through September of each respective period. The information presented in the thirty-nine weeks ended columns includes Vionic’s operations for the fiscal months of January through September for each respective period. Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended ($ thousands, except per share amounts) November 3, 2018 October 28, 2017 November 3, 2018 October 28, 2017 Net sales $ 814,700 $ 816,429 $ 2,252,727 $ 2,205,046 Net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. 31,181 33,408 74,680 65,603 Basic earnings per common share attributable to Caleres, Inc. shareholders $ 0.72 $ 0.78 $ 1.73 $ 1.53 Diluted earnings per common share attributable to Caleres, Inc. shareholders $ 0.72 $ 0.77 $ 1.73 $ 1.52 For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the pro forma adjustments primarily include the following: • The elimination of material costs from thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 that were directly attributable to the acquisition and have no continuing impact on operating results, including: ◦ the non-cash cost of goods sold impact of $0.9 million related to the fair value adjustment to the acquired inventory, and related tax effects; and ◦ transaction costs of $4.1 million , and related tax effects. • Amortization of acquired intangibles of $2.0 million and $5.9 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, respectively, and $2.0 million and $6.0 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, respectively. • Estimated interest expense on additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement at the Company's current interest rate of 3.75% . Assumes no paydown of the revolving credit agreement during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017 and gradual paydown to $285.0 million from October 29, 2017 to November 3, 2018. • Tax impact of the change in tax status of Vionic and the tax impact of the pro forma adjustments based on the estimated statutory tax rate in effect during the respective periods. The tax effect of the pro forma interest expense adjustments for borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement was calculated at 25.74% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 and at 38.9% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, reflecting the Company's effective tax rates. The tax effect of the other pro forma adjustments for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 was calculated utilizing an estimated effective tax rate of 28.0% and 40.0% , respectively. The above unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the results of operations would have been had the Company completed the acquisition on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected in future periods. During the period from the acquisition date through November 3, 2018 , Vionic contributed $5.8 million of net sales and reported a net loss of approximately $1.2 million , primarily associated with the incremental cost of goods sold of $0.9 million related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment required for purchase accounting. The net loss excludes the Company's acquisition costs and any incremental interest expense associated with the transaction. Acquisition of Allen Edmonds On December 13, 2016 , the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Apollo Investors, LLC and Apollo Buyer Holding Company, Inc., pursuant to which the Company acquired all outstanding capital stock of Allen Edmonds ("Allen Edmonds"). The aggregate purchase price for the Allen Edmonds stock was $259.9 million , net of cash received of $0.7 million . The operating results of Allen Edmonds are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements within the Brand Portfolio segment. Management estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017 , the Company recognized $4.9 million in cost of goods sold ( $3.0 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.07 per diluted share) related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment required for purchase accounting. The inventory fair value adjustment was fully amortized as of July 29, 2017. As further discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company also incurred acquisition and integration costs during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 .

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenues	Note 4 Revenues Impact of Adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. Topic 606 provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, based upon the core principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the standard resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $4.8 million as of February 4, 2018, related to loyalty points issued under the Company's loyalty program ("Rewards") within the Famous Footwear segment. Topic 606 requires a deferral of revenue associated with loyalty points using a relative stand-alone selling price method rather than the incremental cost approach the Company used previously. The standard also requires the reclassification of the returns reserve from receivables to other accrued expenses and the reclassification of the return asset from inventories to prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The comparative information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The impact of the adoption of Topic 606 on the condensed balance sheet as of November 3, 2018 was as follows: November 3, 2018 ($ thousands) As reported Balances without adoption of Topic 606 Effect of change Higher/(Lower) Balance sheet Assets Current assets: Receivables, net $ 192,246 $ 183,542 $ 8,704 Inventories, net 698,265 704,655 (6,390 ) Prepaid expenses and other current assets 63,166 55,018 8,148 Liabilities Current liabilities: Other accrued expenses 209,479 193,606 15,873 Equity Retained earnings 638,191 643,602 (5,411 ) Adoption of the standard also required various changes that impacted the statement of earnings. These changes generally result in either a shift in the timing of revenue recognition or the reclassification of an item from one caption on the statement of earnings to another. As disclosed above, the primary impact is related to deferring revenue at a higher rate for the Company's loyalty program. There are also reclassifications related to income received under co-op marketing arrangements with the Company's vendors and the recognition of certain sales transactions in the Company's retail stores on a net commission basis rather than recording on a gross basis. The impact of all changes related to Topic 606 to the statement of earnings for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 was as follows: For the Thirteen Weeks Ended November 3, 2018 ($ thousands) As reported Balances without the adoption of Topic 606 Effect of change (Lower)/Higher Statement of Earnings Net sales $ 775,829 $ 777,254 $ (1,425 ) Cost of goods sold 465,219 465,126 93 Gross profit 310,610 312,128 (1,518 ) Selling and administrative expenses 265,522 266,225 (703 ) Restructuring and other special charges, net 5,340 5,340 — Operating earnings $ 39,748 $ 40,563 $ (815 ) For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 3, 2018 ($ thousands) As reported Balances without the adoption of Topic 606 Effect of change (Lower)/Higher Statement of Earnings Net sales $ 2,114,583 $ 2,117,437 $ (2,854 ) Cost of goods sold 1,235,950 1,235,932 18 Gross profit 878,633 881,505 (2,872 ) Selling and administrative expenses 774,555 776,475 (1,920 ) Restructuring and other special charges, net 9,240 9,240 — Operating earnings $ 94,838 $ 95,790 $ (952 ) The adoption of Topic 606 had an immaterial impact on net earnings and earnings per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 . Accounting Policy Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the consumer are satisfied. This generally occurs at the time of transfer of control of merchandise. The Company considers several control indicators in its assessment of the timing of the transfer of control, including significant risks and rewards of ownership, physical possession and the Company's right to receive payment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring merchandise. The Company applies the guidance using the portfolio approach because this methodology would not differ materially from applying the guidance to the individual contracts within the portfolio. The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude sales and similar taxes collected from customers from the measurement of the transaction price for its retail sales. Disaggregation of Revenues The following table disaggregates revenue by segment and major source for the periods ended November 3, 2018 : For the Thirteen Weeks Ended November 3, 2018 ($ thousands) Famous Footwear Brand Portfolio Total Retail stores $ 408,248 $ 43,186 $ 451,434 Landed wholesale — 207,581 207,581 First-cost wholesale — 21,345 21,345 E-commerce 40,383 51,080 91,463 Licensing and royalty — 3,810 3,810 Other (1) 134 62 196 Net sales $ 448,765 $ 327,064 $ 775,829 For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 3, 2018 ($ thousands) Famous Footwear Brand Portfolio Total Retail stores $ 1,147,512 $ 129,557 $ 1,277,069 Landed wholesale — 539,845 539,845 First-cost wholesale — 61,910 61,910 E-commerce 93,729 129,303 223,032 Licensing and royalty — 12,104 12,104 Other (1) 407 216 623 Net sales $ 1,241,648 $ 872,935 $ 2,114,583 (1) Includes breakage revenue from unredeemed gift cards. Retail stores The majority of the Company's revenue is generated from retail sales where control is transferred and revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Retail sales are recorded net of estimated returns and exclude sales tax. The Company carries a returns reserve and a corresponding return asset for expected returns of merchandise. Retail sales to members of our Rewards program include two performance obligations: the sale of merchandise and the delivery of points that may be redeemed for future purchases at Famous Footwear. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price for the points is estimated using the retail value of the merchandise earned, adjusted for estimated breakage based upon historical redemption patterns. The Company has elected to adopt the practical expedient that allows entities to disregard the effect of the time value of money between payment for and receipt of goods when the sale does not include a financing element. The revenue associated with the initial merchandise purchased is recognized immediately and the value assigned to the points is deferred until the points are redeemed, forfeited or expired. Upon adoption of Topic 606 as of February 4, 2018, the Rewards program liability, included in other accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, increased $6.4 million , from $8.1 million to $14.5 million . Landed wholesale Landed sales are wholesale sales in which the merchandise is shipped directly to the customer from the Company’s warehouses. Many landed customers arrange their own transportation of merchandise and, with limited exceptions, control is transferred at the time of shipment. First-cost wholesale First-cost sales are wholesale sales in which the Company purchases merchandise from an international factory that manufactures the product. Revenue is recognized at the time the merchandise is delivered to the customer’s designated freight forwarder and control is transferred to the customer. E-commerce The Company also generates revenue from sales on websites maintained by the Company that are shipped from the Company's distribution centers or retail stores directly to the consumer, picked up directly by the consumer from the Company's stores and e-commerce sales from our wholesale customers' websites that are fulfilled on a drop-ship basis (collectively referred to as "e-commerce"). The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue for merchandise sold that is shipped directly to an individual consumer upon delivery to the consumer. Licensing and royalty The Company has license agreements with third parties allowing them to sell the Company’s branded product, or other merchandise that uses the Company’s owned or licensed brand names. These license agreements provide the licensee access to the Company's symbolic intellectual property, and revenue is therefore recognized over the license term. For royalty contracts that do not have guaranteed minimums, the Company recognizes revenue as the licensee's sales occur. For royalty contracts that have guaranteed minimums, revenue for the guaranteed minimum is recognized on a straight-line basis during the term, until such time that the cumulative royalties exceed the total minimum guarantee. Up-front payments are recognized over the contractual term to which the guaranteed minimum relates. Contract Balances Revenue is recorded at the transaction price, net of estimates for variable consideration for which reserves are established, including returns, allowances and discounts. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected value method and given the large number of contracts with similar characteristics, the portfolio approach is applied to determine the variable consideration for each revenue stream. Reserves for projected returns are based on historical patterns and current expectations. Information about significant contract balances from contracts with customers is as follows: ($ thousands) November 3, 2018 February 3, 2018 Customer allowances and discounts $ 23,835 $ 20,259 Rewards program liability 16,299 8,130 Returns reserve 15,373 8,332 Gift card liability 4,169 5,509 Changes in contract balances with customers generally reflect differences in relative sales volume for the period presented. In addition, during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , the Rewards program liability increased $13.8 million due to purchases and $6.4 million due to the adoption of Topic 606 and decreased $12.0 million due to expirations and redemptions. The change in the balance of the returns reserve is primarily due to the impact of account reclassifications required by adoption of Topic 606 on February 4, 2018.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Note 5 Earnings Per Share The Company uses the two-class method to compute basic and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Caleres, Inc. shareholders. In periods of net loss, no effect is given to the Company’s participating securities since they do not contractually participate in the losses of the Company.

There were no options to purchase shares excluded from the denominator for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 . During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 , the Company repurchased 100,000 and 225,000 shares, respectively, under the publicly announced share repurchase program, which permits repurchases of up to 2.5 million shares. The Company did not purchase any shares during the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018 or October 28, 2017 . As of November 3, 2018 , the Company has repurchased a total of 1.4 million shares under this program.

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]
Risk Management And Derivatives	Note 13 Risk Management and Derivatives In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial results are impacted by currency rate movements in foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows as it makes a portion of its purchases and sales in local currencies. The Company has established policies and business practices that are intended to mitigate a portion of the effect of these exposures. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts, to manage its currency exposures. These derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives entered into by the Company are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit and market risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions being hedged. The Company does not believe there is a significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with major international financial institutions and have varying maturities through November 2019 . Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties. The Company’s hedging strategy uses forward contracts as cash flow hedging instruments, which are recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedge instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. As of November 3, 2018 , October 28, 2017 and February 3, 2018 , the Company had forward contracts maturing at various dates through November 2019 , November 2018 and February 2019 , respectively. The contract amounts in the following table represent the net notional amount of all purchase and sale contracts of a foreign currency.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended
	Nov. 03, 2018
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 14 Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value measurement disclosure requirements specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (“observable inputs”) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (“unobservable inputs”). In accordance with the fair value guidance, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorized into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; • Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. In determining fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Classification of the financial or non-financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Measurement of Fair Value The Company measures fair value as an exit price, the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, using the procedures described below for all financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Money Market Funds The Company has cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds backed by U.S. Treasury securities. The primary objective of these investing activities is to preserve the Company’s capital for the purpose of funding operations and it does not enter into money market funds for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for the benefit of certain management employees. The investment funds offered to the participants generally correspond to the funds offered in the Company’s 401(k) plan, and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds. The Deferred Compensation Plan permits the deferral of up to 50% of base salary and 100% of compensation received under the Company’s annual incentive plan. The deferrals are held in a separate trust, which has been established by the Company to administer the Deferred Compensation Plan. The assets of the trust are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event that the Company becomes insolvent. Consequently, the trust qualifies as a grantor trust for income tax purposes (i.e., a “Rabbi Trust”). The liabilities of the Deferred Compensation Plan are presented in other accrued expenses and the assets held by the trust are classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are charged to selling and administrative expenses. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors Non-employee directors are eligible to participate in a deferred compensation plan with deferred amounts valued as if invested in the Company’s common stock through the use of phantom stock units (“PSUs”). Under the plan, each participating director’s account is credited with the number of PSUs equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that the participant could purchase or receive with the amount of the deferred compensation, based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal quarter when the cash compensation was earned. Dividend equivalents are paid on PSUs at the same rate as dividends on the Company’s common stock and are re-invested in additional PSUs at the next fiscal quarter-end. The liabilities of the plan are based on the fair value of the outstanding PSUs and are presented in other accrued expenses (current portion) or other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the PSUs are presented in selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The fair value of each PSU is based on an unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency on each measurement date (Level 1). Restricted Stock Units for Non-Employee Directors Under the Company’s incentive compensation plans, cash-equivalent restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company were previously granted at no cost to non-employee directors. These cash-equivalent RSUs are subject to a vesting requirement (usually one year), earn dividend-equivalent units, and are settled in cash on the date the director terminates service or such earlier date as a director may elect, subject to restrictions, based on the then current fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of each cash-equivalent RSU is based on an unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency on each measurement date (Level 1). During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company converted 210,302 of RSUs payable in cash with a value of $6.3 million to RSUs payable in common stock. Additional information related to RSUs for non-employee directors is disclosed in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using quoted forward foreign exchange prices from counterparties corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2). Additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments is disclosed in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Mandatory Purchase Obligation The Company recorded a mandatory purchase obligation of the noncontrolling interest in conjunction with the acquisition of Blowfish Malibu in July of 2018. The fair value of the mandatory purchase obligation is based on the earnings formula specified in the Purchase Agreement (Level 3). Accretion of the mandatory purchase obligation and any fair value adjustments are recorded as interest expense. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , an immaterial amount of accretion was recorded. The earnings projections and discount rate utilized in the estimate of the fair value of the mandatory purchase obligation require management judgment and are the assumptions to which the fair value calculation is the most sensitive. Refer to further discussion of the mandatory purchase obligation in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at November 3, 2018 , October 28, 2017 and February 3, 2018 . The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 or October 28, 2017 .

Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, a significant change in the manner of the use of the asset, or a negative industry or economic trend. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the aforementioned factors, impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method. Certain factors, such as estimated store sales and expenses, used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered Level 3 inputs as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . Long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $102.8 million and $115.8 million at November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 , respectively, were assessed for indicators of impairment and written down to their fair value.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 15 Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law, making significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% , the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a quasi-territorial tax system and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings. The provisional income tax benefit recorded in fiscal 2017 of $0.3 million was comprised of a $24.6 million deferred tax benefit for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to the 21% rate at which they are expected to reverse, partially offset by a one-time tax expense on deemed repatriation of $22.9 million and $1.4 million deferred tax expense in connection with Internal Revenue Code section 162(m) and other provisions in the Act. These provisional amounts continue to represent the Company's best estimate based on current information and guidance as of November 3, 2018 . As permitted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), the Company will continue to analyze all provisional amounts associated with the Act as a result of pending issuance of Notices and Regulations related to the Act. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to the Company's income tax provision during the fourth quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete. The Act also includes the Global Intangibles Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provision, a new minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income, the Base Erosion Anti-Avoidance ("BEAT") provision, a new tax for certain payments to foreign related parties, and the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") provision, a tax incentive to earn income from the sale, lease or license of goods and services abroad. The Company is permitted to make an accounting policy election to account for GILTI as either a period charge in the future period the tax arises or as part of deferred taxes related to the investment or subsidiary. As a result of the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company is still evaluating the provisions on future periods and has not yet elected an accounting policy related to its treatment of these future tax liabilities. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , the Company has recorded provisional amounts for GILTI as a period charge in the income tax provision. The Company is also still evaluating the BEAT and FDII provisions of the Act. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rates were 24.5% and 29.6% for the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 , respectively. During the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017 , the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $0.9 million , reflecting greater deductibility of certain 2016 expenses than originally estimated. If these discrete tax benefits had not been recognized during the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017 , the Company's effective tax rate would have been 31.5% . For the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 , the Company's consolidated effective tax rates were 24.5% and 30.6% , respectively. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $0.7 million , reflecting greater deductibility of certain 2017 expenses than originally estimated and share-based compensation. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, the Company recognized $2.0 million of discrete tax benefits, primarily related to share-based compensation. If these discrete tax benefits had not been recognized during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 , the Company's effective tax rates would have been 25.4% and 32.7% , respectively. The Company's tax rate is lower for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 , reflecting a reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate following enactment of the Act.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	Note 16 Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Remediation Prior operations included numerous manufacturing and other facilities for which the Company may have responsibility under various environmental laws for the remediation of conditions that may be identified in the future. The Company is involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites and has been notified that it is or may be a potentially responsible party at several other sites. Redfield The Company is remediating, under the oversight of Colorado authorities, the groundwater and indoor air at its owned facility in Colorado (the “Redfield site” or, when referring to remediation activities at or under the facility, the “on-site remediation”) and residential neighborhoods adjacent to and near the property (the “off-site remediation”) that have been affected by solvents previously used at the facility. The on-site remediation calls for the operation of a pump and treat system (which prevents migration of contaminated groundwater off the property) as the final remedy for the site, subject to monitoring and periodic review of the on-site conditions and other remedial technologies that may be developed in the future. In 2016, the Company submitted a revised plan to address on-site conditions, including direct treatment of source areas, and received approval from the oversight authorities to begin implementing the revised plan. As the treatment of the on-site source areas progresses, the Company expects to convert the pump and treat system to a passive treatment barrier system. Off-site groundwater concentrations have been reducing over time since installation of the pump and treat system in 2000 and injection of clean water beginning in 2003. However, localized areas of contaminated bedrock just beyond the property line continue to impact off-site groundwater. The modified work plan for addressing this condition includes converting the off-site bioremediation system into a monitoring well network and employing different remediation methods in these recalcitrant areas. In accordance with the work plan, a pilot test was conducted of certain groundwater remediation methods and the results of that test were used to develop more detailed plans for remedial activities in the off-site areas, which were approved by the authorities and are being implemented in a phased manner. The results of groundwater monitoring are being used to evaluate the effectiveness of these activities. The Company continues to implement the expanded remedy work plan that was approved by the oversight authorities in 2015. Based on the progress of the direct remedial action of on-site conditions, the Company has submitted a request to the oversight authorities for permission to convert the perimeter pump and treat active remediation system to a passive one. The cumulative expenditures for both on-site and off-site remediation through November 3, 2018 were $30.4 million . The Company has recovered a portion of these expenditures from insurers and other third parties. The reserve for the anticipated future remediation activities at November 3, 2018 is $9.5 million , of which $8.8 million is recorded within other liabilities and $0.7 million is recorded within other accrued expenses. Of the total $ 9.5 million reserve, $4.9 million is for off-site remediation and $4.6 million is for on-site remediation. The liability for the on-site remediation was discounted at 4.8% . On an undiscounted basis, the on-site remediation liability would be $14.0 million as of November 3, 2018 . The Company expects to spend approximately $ 0.3 million in the next fiscal year, $0.1 million in each of the following four years and $13.3 million in the aggregate thereafter related to the on-site remediation. Other Various federal and state authorities have identified the Company as a potentially responsible party for remediation at certain other sites. However, the Company does not currently believe that its liability for such sites, if any, would be material. The Company continues to evaluate its remediation plans in conjunction with its environmental consultants and records its best estimate of remediation liabilities. However, future actions and the associated costs are subject to oversight and approval of various governmental authorities. Accordingly, the ultimate costs may vary, and it is possible costs may exceed the recorded amounts. Litigation The Company is involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such ordinary course of business proceedings and litigation currently pending is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Legal costs associated with litigation are generally expensed as incurred.
