Not Just a Footcare Brand – The Inspiring Story Behind Imperial Feet

At first glance, Imperial Feet might look like just another footcare brand. But behind every bottle lies a story — a story of perseverance, family, and products that truly work. 

It All Started With My Grandfather

This is my grandfather Rob Beekman - the man who started it all.

Before his retirement at 60, he lost everything. His business went bankrupt, and when most people would have slowed down, he decided to rebuild from scratch. Because giving up simply wasn’t in his nature.

“As long as you have an idea, some courage, and a little bit of passion, you can start again.”

At 65, he returned to something close to home - an old family recipe. In his basement, with just a few ingredients and a dream, he began to experiment. The result? A natural formula that worked wonders against nail fungus, foot fungus and dry skin.

Locally produced - just 30 minutes away in a small Dutch factory - the first bottles of what would become Samenwerkende Pedicures & Imperial Feet were born.

From Basement to Bestseller

With only two recipes and a lot of determination, my grandfather started reaching out to footcare professionals. He handed out samples, visited salons, and shared his story.

Slowly but surely, word spread. Professionals saw results. Customers returned.
And soon, the Dutch version of Imperial Feet began to take its first confident steps into the market.

What started as a small, local passion project became something much bigger - a trusted brand built on authenticity and results.

Carrying the Legacy Forward

Today, I’m proud to continue his journey - not just as his granddaughter, but as his business partner.

Some say I’m just as crazy as he was. Maybe they’re right. Because when you truly believe in something, you go all in.

We now operate in over 15 countries, are a #1 bestseller on Amazon in both the UK and US, and are trusted by thousands of footcare professionals worldwide.

And through it all, we’ve stayed true to our roots:
Still locally produced in the Netherlands.
Still guided by quality and care.
Still family-driven at heart.

A Legacy That Keeps Giving

And my grandfather? He’s still part of it all.

Every Christmas, he personally delivers wine boxes to our favorite distributors — a simple gesture that reminds us where we came from.

His story isn’t just about footcare - it’s about resilience. About passion. About believing that it’s never too late to start building your success.

Because Imperial Feet isn’t just about healthy feet, it’s about the journey that brought us here. It’s built step by step - with care, courage, and a little bit of Dutch stubbornness.

If my grandfather could start again at 65 with nothing but a recipe and a dream, imagine what’s possible for you.
