In 1967, David Rancourt started the Rancourt family on the path to crafting some of the highest quality footwear in the world. The 1967 Collection is a reflection of the Rancourt family's heritage in shoemaking. Each pair in the 1967 collection is unlined and cut from heavyweight Chromepak, a leather that was ubiquitous in Maine moccasin making in the 1960's. This 10-15oz. leather is unparalleled in durability as it is remarkably thick and rugged while the high oil content helps it retain some pliability while adding exceptional pull-up. The Vibram 232 Mini-lug soles lend a traditional look that complements the heavy chromepak leather with added versatility and durability.
Made in Maine, USA
I was so impressed I purchased a second pair the day after I received them.
If you really like something, buy two or more, you never know when it will become unavailable.
Saw these on the website and knew they were meant for the likes of me.
Tired of throwing out cheap sneakers every 10 months? Spend some more money on footwear that is made to last and look good doing it.
The Vibram sole is appreciated, extra assurance against slipping on anything throughout the Fall months.
Classic shoe with beautiful leather. Comfortable after wearing it for a week. No flashy label on the outside, love it
Comfortable, durable, stylish, and made in the USA
I have had these for about two years. I absolutely love the look and versatility. Definitely my favorite loafer style shoes. However, the 3/4 length footbed has always bothered me. The seam sat right under the balls of my feet and always felt “present.”
I finally decided to rip out the footbed and insert a pair of Dr. Scholl’s. Remarkable improvement! Tearing out the original footbed showed how well constructed these shoes are. I have other shoes from a similar manufacturer and the footbeds come loose on their own. These were secured very well.
I will note that adding the Dr. Scholls raised my foot in the shoe and tighten things up. Which was actually a good thing. But since this was after I had already broken the shoes in, adding inserts to a new pair might be a little uncomfortable at first.
