Story

Born in dorm rooms, these slippers have graduated to full-time relaxation experts

The Quoddy workshop produces their signature handsewn moc-toe boots and shoes at unrivaled levels of handmade quality. Based in Lewiston, Maine, most of their business is made-to-order footwear, but we managed to snag a few pairs of ready-to-wears in our favorite styles. With its combination of twinface sheepskin and flexible Vibram sole, the slip-on Dorm Boot takes relaxation more seriously than the toughest midterms.

About the Quoddy

We’re pretty convinced there’s something in the water that fuels Maine’s obsession with traditional, handcrafted footwear—the state is legendary for its family-owned and operated workshops, crafting some of the world’s finest heritage shoes. The renowned makers over at Quoddy are a prime example. With four generations’ worth of expertise and a touch of old-world refinement, they’ve built out a small-batch line of boots and moccasins designed to last a lifetime. They take their craft so seriously, in fact, that only about one in ten craftsmen make it through the training program to become full-fledged Quoddy shoemakers.

From there, they’re painstakingly building footwear the old fashioned way—using a needle and thread plus a few basic tools on top-notch components like Horween leather, rust-proof hardware, and durable Vibram outsoles. It’s classic Maine craftsmanship through-and-through. And like traditional moccasins, they perfectly conform to your feet over time. Just run a pair of Quoddys by an experienced cobbler and they’ll tell you what Mainers already know—they’re among the finest casual shoes made in America today.
