Rancourt & Co
Rancourt & Company is a US-based shoe manufacturer owned by Michael Rancourt. The company was formerly owned by Allen Edmonds, until it was bought back by its previous owners, the Rancourt family. Their website claims that their history in the shoemaking business goes back to 1964.
Rancourt makes primarily made-to-order handsewn shoes and boots. This includes boat shoes, camp-mocs, penny loafers, venetian loafers, tassel loafers, ranger mocs, and both moc-toe and plain-toe boots. They offer a variety of leathers at different prices, including many Horween options, including the popular Chromexcel and Shell Cordovan.
If you order by email, you can specify a different color or type of leather for any given style, or a different sole. Officially there is supposed to be an online customization tool coming soon, but when that is is uncertain.
Rancourt has one of the most helpful and comprehensive websites of any made in USA brand. Kyle Rancourt has also done an AMA on Reddit.
Rancourt makes handsewns for Red Wing Handsewn, Eastland Made in Maine, and a few other brands. Club Monaco carries a small selection of Rancourt shoes.
All of their shoes are made in Lewiston, Maine.
