Ng Ping Kwong first founded Ping Kee Shoe Factory in 1947, making short boots for the Chinese martial arts practitioners. In the early 1950s due to the Korean War, many naval ships used Hong Kong as the R & R (Replenishments and Recreations) hence influx of naval personnel. Ping Kee Shoe Factory started making bespoke shoes and boots for the naval officers of British, U.S., Australian and New Zeal
and navies in Hong Kong. Ping Kee Shoes became one of the major suppliers of shoes and boots, serving the naval personnel ashore also on board naval vessels commissioned around the Southeast Asia. Individual orders were taken from different persons and literally every pair of shoe and boots was made to order with traditional workmanship. Quality and comfort are the most important consideration due to the nature of naval personnel, a trustworthy pair of footwear to accommodate daily operations. In the mid 1950s, we diversified our productions and started to manufacture shoes for professionals, such as nurses, teachers and specific uniform shoes which provide healthy and comfortable footwear for the users. A pair of healthy and comfortable shoes must be soft, light, elastic and breathable. Since then, Ping Kee Shoes have strived to improve the quality standards, combining the balance of new technologies and traditional craftsmanship, to give the user a most comfortable experience when wearing our shoes. A collaboration was made with Rogers Corporation to incorporate their PORON® material to be used for our insole which provides high level of shock absorption with resiliency, while maintain the amplitude of long-term comfort.
