There’s a misconception out there that suggests moccasins, like Quoddy are summer shoes. I don’t see it that way at all; in fact I think they’re great all season casual shoes. I also think the new Maliseet in British Tan Chromexcel makes my point. The color is an autumnal rusty brown great with denim, khakis flannels and cords.

The fact that they’re completely handsewn and comfortable as hell is a bonus. It’s been feeling a little fall like which of course won’t last and either will these Maliseet’s.

Our next Quoddy Maliseet, arriving later this month will be in British Tan Chromexcel on Honey camp soles. This is a great color that really shows the pull up* of the Chromexcel and quite possibly our new favorite color.

*Pull-up – A temporary lightening in color achieved by bending leather. This is caused by the temporary displacement of oils, greases, and/or waxes.

Seems like we’re over the hump and safely into spring, if your struggling with footwear options we’d like to offer a few suggestions. Casual doesn’t have to look sloppy in fact a smart casual shoe is an excellent choice for a dress down workday. Suede chukkas or a cordovan loafer for instance with slacks and a blazer is classic, sporty and appropriate. And a pair of deck shoes with shorts or khakis is an excellent alternative to sneakers or flip-flops. There are a lot of options out there so don’t be surprised when you see work boots with cargo shorts.

The Quoddy brand has been hand-sewing moccasins for 100 years. Located in Lewiston, Maine they still produce each pair made to order. This is finely crafted casual footwear made of quality materials i.e. Horween Chromexcel, and Calico suede which means they not only look and feel great they’ll wear well too.

Quoddy hand sews all their shoes and boots in Maine just as they have for the past 100 years. No cement or glue is ever used, each pair is leather lined from heel to toe, and have padded leather sock linings that gently cushion your feet.

These shoes are so much more than they appear to be. A simple boat shoe they are not. In fact they aren’t really boat shoes at all, they’re moccasins with rubber soles. These are finely crafted shoes built by highly skilled hand sewers that get better looking and feeling with wear. Just because they’re casual doesn’t mean they aren’t quality.

Kudos to those who have already picked up a pair of the Quoddy Grizzly boots timing is everything. For those who have yet to try them we still have some in stock. This boot is like wearing a shearling lined sleeping bag on your feet, incredibly soft and warm even barefoot.
