This is the epitome of classic Maine style. The Read boat shoe is the perfect summer shoe. Not only do they look great with a pair of chinos or shorts, but they perform just as a boat shoe should. The Natural pull-up leather is highly water resistant and incredibly durable, and we've kept it unlined so you can wear them without socks. The non-marking rubber boat soles have siping which makes them stick like glue to slippery surfaces. A pair of chestnut leather laces wraps around the heel to provide an extra snug fit. Each pair is handcrafted in Lewiston, Maine USA using our Genuine Handsewn Moccasin construction and heritage- quality materials.

These may be the most comfortable pair of leather shoes I’ve ever put on straight from the box. They fit perfectly, the leather is just tight enough that I feel they will mold to my feet in a short period of time and I will wear these for years. No flaws I can find anywhere. Beautiful shoes.
A couple of years ago when my Sperry’s wore out I debated what to replace them with. That is when I discovered Rancourt & Company. I ordered these boat shoes about a year and a half ago and have worn the heck out of them. They are well built and very comfortable. These are some of the best shoes I have ever owned (the only comparison is another pair of Rancourt & Company shoes and some Allen Edmonds shoes).
I heard of Rancourt & Co.products and checked out reviews on the website - almost all were very positive from satisfied customer. I drove from Windham to Lewiston to check them out. It was a fortunate coincidence that when I arrived Doug (director of retail sales I think) answered the bell and showed me around. I was very impressed by the work flow and craftsmanship with which the workers made the shoes.
I've had the shoes for 3+ weeks and love them. They are extremely well made and took about 2 weeks to "break-in" and conform fully to my feet. While these shoes are a standard size and width - off the shelf, they feel like custom made shoes.
When I need shoes again, I will first look on the website for your products to see if I Rancourt & Co. offers it.
Great shoes!
I have wide feet and finding good shoes is always tricky. After trying a standard size that didn't work, I returned and put in an order for a EE in my typical size. It took some time to get them but they are perfect.
