QUODDY TRAIL FOOTWEAR
Say the name Quoddy and you’re talking about all-American authenticity. Quoddy moccasins and shoes have been made by the Shorey family for generations, beginning with Harry Smith Shorey, a handsewer for L.L. Bean in the early 1900s. Today, the Quoddy Trail company is still family run. In Downeast Maine, near the shore of the Passamaquoddy Bay, the Shoreys make traditional moccasin styles using time-honored techniques and quality materials. Each process is done by hand — cutting, skiving, stitching, and handsewing. Quoddy Trail are available by mail order and you receive a genuine handmade moccasin. While leather properties vary slightly with every hide, each pair demonstrates the family philosophy: Attention to detail and no shortcuts. More info and pics after the jump.
Every style features a one-piece vamp, which wraps around the entire foot. This is hand sewn to the "tip" with locked stitches to ensure comfort and durability, the two most important benefits of moccasin construction. All styles, soled or unsoled, have full leather sock liners (not just half) and heel padding for added comfort and cushioning.
