The Highest Quality, Handcrafted, American Shoes We’ve Ever Made
We Make Shoes the Traditional Way Because it's the Best Way
We believe that sustainability starts with quality. We build most of our shoes in Port Washington, Wisconsin with that in mind. Each pair touched by 133 craftspeople, designed with the finest materials and constructed with our signature 360° Goodyear bench welt that allows them to be refurbished by our experts when they start to show signs of wear. Everything built on a foundation of permanence, both in our timeless designs and our unwavering focus on craft. Classics that embody American luxury.
Redefining Iconic Style
We've sold more than two million pairs of our Park Avenue oxford since it was released in 1982. Our Higgins Mill boot has over 200 five-star reviews and counting. These are highly sought-after, forever essentials that have defined our core values of quality and integrity for decades. Now we're evolving for the next century with a brand-new generation of icons redesigned as hybrid dress sneakers, reworked with bold features like chunky lug soles and reimagined with fresh materials.
We Craft Sneakers with a Shoemaker's Point of View
Celebrating the Heritage and Culture of this Uniquely American Style Legacies aren't built standing still. We have more than 100 years of experience making the best dress shoes. Today we're putting every bit of that expertise into creating a new generation of kicks that set the tone for what luxury looks like right now.
From the Runways, Made Our Way.
The Luxe Boat Shoe.
The style with a place in almost every designer collection this season. A smart, socks-optional favorite with an effortless versatility that's forever relevant. This season we gave this essential lace-up a fresh upgrade without sacrificing functionality. Each pair is handsewn for easy comfort.
Wear, Recraft, Repeat
Most of our shoes, boots and even sneakers can be restored using the same materials and last used in their original construction. By sending them back to our experts you're putting them in the hands of craftspeople who are committed to restoring your footwear so that they can continue being part of your journey. Over the last decade we've saved over 500,000 styles from landfills nationwide.
