SSL is a consumer brand company with leading global brands like Durex and Scholl. Scholl enables people across the globe to enjoy healthier, more comfortable and better looking feet. Specialist, scientific and insightful, Scholl footcare products and footwear ranges recognise that taking care of people’s feet contributes to improving their overall comfort and wellbeing.

However, Scholl is expanding into high street shoe shops and fashion outlets with its own specific footwear range, led by the premium priced Dolcini range.
