quoddy trail, usa

By September 1, 2008 4 Comments


quoddy trail is one of the few shoe companies left in the USA who are still cutting, skiving, stitching, and sewing their shoes by hand. after almost 2 years of daily use including quite a few rain storms my first pair of quoddy boat shoes finally bit the dust so i decided to order another pair through their website. it takes about 4-6 weeks but for about $120 you get a great pair of shoes hand-made to your specs. their customer service is incredible, and while i thought my request for a size “9 and a quarter” was asking too much they replied “no problem”.

    Yep, thanks for the link. these shoes looks great, but… are you sure it’s 120$ not 210$ ?

    The Bluchers also looks great, btw…

    I have a pair of the bluchers, and I had the same experience with Quoddy…excellent to work with and quality products. I live in Utah and when its raining out and I’m walking in my Quoddy’s I don’t have to worry about the leather getting wet or my feet getting soaked. The camp soles are very durable and have not changed at all since I purchased them in August. I wear mine everyday.
