Hi Kyle,

I’ve never written to anyone about a product before, but I have to now. My shoes arrived yesterday, I opened the box and put them on, and may never take them off! These are the finest boat shoes I have ever worn. No kidding, the workmanship, insole, fit, everything is so far above what I have previously owned. I have worn Sperry boat shoes for the past 40 years and finally became so irritated by their sloppy fit after moving production off shore, that I finally went looking on the internet for an American made boat shoe.

I am so glad to have found your company, thanks again.

Sincerely,

Jim

Hickorees x Rancourt & Co. Collaboration

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:14:13 +0000

I met the brothers Corsillo at their Brooklyn retail shop Hickorees last fall. We thought it would be a great fit, Hickorees and Rancourt & Co. Our goal is to come up with some really unique and authentic footwear that you can't really find elsewhere. Here is the first fruit of our labor: http://bit.ly/H9G2qP Available exclusively at Hickorees

Kyle,

I just wanted to say thanks for your help in selecting a size. My boat shoes arrived yesterday, and they are perfect. Your helpfulness and professionalism are truly appreciated. In a marketplace full of cheap, disposable products, it is refreshing to know that there are still companies that value quality materials and exquisite American craftsmanship. I know I'll enjoy my shoes for years to come. And I'll likely be in the market for some Ranger Mocs in the fall. Now I know where to find them. Thanks again for your help. Rancourt and Company has earned my business and endorsement.

Sincerely,

A quite satisfied customer,

Dominic

Nothing like a happy customer

The following is an email received from a customer in Harrisburg, PA on February 20, 2012:

Hello,

I received my color 8 pinch penny loafers over the weekend and they are really awesome. Very comfortable, fit great and look great. The details on the shoes are just wonderful, you can really tell skilled craftsmen put these things together.

Originally, I was just looking for a new pair of shoes and wanted to get something made in the USA so I did a google search and found Rancourt.

This is my second pair and I couldn't be happier with these shoes and the service and the price point. I work in manufacturing accounting and I have worked in midsize American factories continuously for the past 20 plus years. (I even worked with a plant up in Biddeford Maine for a while) So the fact that the shoes come direct from the factory really appeals to me.

I will definitely be back for more!

Thanks,

Mark

New Weltline Penny loafers

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:55:52 +0000

We just added two new penny loafers to our collection. They are called "weltline" penny loafers because the penny strap (also known as the saddle) goes all the way down to the welt line and is stitched between the midsole and the upper. They are both in beautiful calfskin with matching stitching so they can be worn for more formal occasions. Find them in our shop under the "dress category"

New Color 8 belts available in our online shop

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:03:47 +0000

We are now offering two new belts, color 8 chromexcel and color 8 shell cordovan, both are lined and have nickel plated brass roller buckles. Keep in mind that if you plan to buy the shell cordovan belt, they are made to order and it will take about three weeks. Also, shells are very small so we have to splice them to make the belt, therefore there is a seam in the middle. We can also make belts in black, navy, green, and tan (saddle) shell - you can order the color 8 belt but specify in the notes section which color you'd prefer.

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:04:19 +0000

today, Tuesday 12/13, is the last day to place orders and receive by Christmas using ground delivery, especially for west coast customers. Orders placed after today should select express services - "FedEx Next Day" or "FedEx 2day"

The Lactae Hevea Sole

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:18:04 +0000

One of the most unique products that we offer on our shoes is the Lactae Hevea outsole, manufactured by Reltex in France. While they offer many patterns and styles of lactae hevea outsole, the raw material is the real star. Lactae heavea is the milk from the hevea tree, which is harvested by hand (see picture below). It is important to note that harvesting milk from the trees is a sustainable process, it does not damage or kill the trees. After harvesting, the milk is shipped to the Reltex plant where the liquid is poured by hand into outsole moulds. There are no machines or harsh manufacturing processes used, just the passage of time. The result is a 100% natural outsole that is lightweight, durable, and extremely comfortable. Trust us, this will be the most comfortable pair of shoes you will own. We have one option available now and another coming soon. In the meantime, feel free to contact us if you want to put a lactae hevea sole on any style of shoe in our shop.
